It's appalling to say the least. Now to travel by road is a nightmare due to insecurity, they want to hold air passengers by the jugular too. I weak.
I paid that silly money last Dec -Abuja to Imo state, the same Dec i paid just under £50 for a flight from Dublin to London and i booked the flight the same day, my flight from Abuja to Imo was booked a month in advance
TravelRe: International Flight Costs Less Than N10,000 by justwise(mod): 1:09pm On May 02, 2022
This is even expensive, you can fly from London to Dublin for £10, a journey of an hour plus few minutes

GodfreyGi:
Good morning,

I want to apply for UK visa for myself and my wife, for this summer vacation. However, my wife was refused US visa just two weeks ago.

My question is; will my wife denial of the US visa (just 2 weeks ago) have any adverse effect on our UK application? Are we applying too soon?

Please I need your advice everyone.
@justwise I will appreciate your take too.
All she need to do is to declare the refusal and state briefly why she was refused, as long as it’s not fraud related she will be find with UK visa application.

lol i laugh at you. ignorance is a very bad thing. India is an ally of russia but also an ally of the US infant they are in an alliance. also they have a very free and liberal press. Argentina did not condemn Russia ,Brazil and Mexico did not condem Russia does that make them Russian allies?? RT Cnn bbc fox nbc all engage in some form of propaganda because they are closely interwoven with inteligence agencies in their individual country. also i served in the Nigerian army as a commissioned office and as such i can never be ignorant when ut comes to geopolitical issues.infact i dare say i am better informed than you are.



No you are not, you are far too ignorant as i have been reading your rants on Russia issue.

If you don’t know that Indian is Russian close ally then you know nothing. They can bring themselves to condemn Russia, the same with china.

RTV has an English language online channel, so you don’t need to speak Russia to watch it.

Indian news channel are more balanced? Now I can understand why you are Russian mouthpiece. Watching Indian TV channel coverage of this war is like watching north Koran TV . Indian is pro Russia and anti west so they will never have a balanced view

But my Questions are does any of the two countries I intend applying for accept third class for Master’s or Post graduate Diploma study?
Will they require my NYSC completion certificate?

Or probably should I apply for fresh degree program as I’m 28 years old already?

Please pardon my writing errors, as I await your valid contributions on the right thing to do as I’m confused.

Yea for the 10 year route, unfortunately Tier 4 and PSW visa do not count for the 5 year route.
BorisJohnson:
It counts on the 10-year route.
The petition aims to make it count towards a 5-year route (in effect, equivalent to Skilled Worker Visa (aka Tier-2)

@justwise.

The below is just to tell prospective students about an easy job they can do in the UK.
I have noticed that many Nigerian and Indian students PSW visa are been rejected at alarming rate due to exceeding 20hrs of work.
Some of these students have no choice than to work above 20hrs because they will immediately be sacked. Some of them solely depend on this income as they borrowed to come. If you work in warehouse jobs, security jobs, kitchen porter jobs e.t.c, you will be given shifts more than 20hrs a week. So everyone, endeavour you have money before coming to the UK so you won't default.

SOLUTION

To resolve this problem, apply to a stay-at-home call centre job. The job is only about 4hrs daily from Monday to Friday, 5pm to 9pm.
This is exactly 20hrs. It is very easy as you will just be answering calls. You will have time to focus on your assignment. The job is also a professional job that can be transferred and added to your CV unlike those aforementioned jobs.
You should have quiet space to work at home with a strong WIFI connection. Many other telecommunication companies have these opportunities.

https://capita.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CapitaGlobal/job/Birmingham/Part-Time-Customer-Service-Advisor---Home-based-Virgin-Media-O2_10061503

Do not work more than 20hrs a week term time as a student. There is no excuse as your PSW visa will be declined

From DMAINMAN
Thanks for this info , it will be helpful to many here

Sir, also caution them to stop rendering unsolicited advice here, you created this thread for people that have made up their mind already and not for comparison, whomever that want to compare should open a new thread.
They keep talking about tax, atleast you make the money there and pay the tax there, over here people get peanut monthly, pay tax and nothing to show for it.
I don't think the people leaving here are going there to make enough money to buy Man United or Chelsea, they just want to live in a sane environment.
Why all these lower your expectations from Solatium, as if he already knows the mindset of the person travelling.
Whomever like he should use his fortune to relocate his family to abroad, whatever happens he should take it like that, afterall the god's are not to be blame.
Great mod justwise, tell everyone to stop this comparison please.
Thanks.
My brother don't see this as discouragement or unsolicited advice, anybody that tells you only what you want to hear does not mean well for you.

Yes prepare and lower your expectation, you can read this and get angry..that is find but that will not change the reality.

Some people come to the UK and their plans went smoothly well while some regret the very day they landed here.

Bin whatever you read here if you like but do your research and have a realistic plan before leaving Nigeria and most importantly come with money else...else.. good luck

When I saw your response on my Russia vs Ukraine post which I considered rude,I restrained from replying considering your "good" works in this travel section which I have also benefited from + limited time.

However, I might have reasons to get back at you if you do not comport yourself. What exactly are you driving at? You dug my old post out just to buttress your points. That is totally unnecessary. I am beginning to think you have knowledge but no idea!
Exactly that, you can not attend your level of education and still make some below basic level assumptions. We are illegal immigrants because we are sounding notes of caution? How does that make sense?

What you called propaganda about Russia invasion of Ukraine turns out to be true and not propaganda, so don't you think that you have been careless with some of your posts?

It takes an immigrant an average of 15-20 yrs to make it in the UK, so if you just arrived or planing to come..calm down and take a deep breath

Good day everyone, me and my wife intends to relocate to the UK through the student pathway. From our calculation the amount needed for our prove of fund is #16,866,600. We have a guaranteed accomodation. If we are able to prove we have an accommodation, can the amount required for prove of fund be reduced when apply for Visa? Anyone with a link of who can help with the prove of fund? Kindly quote me with your answer
No it will not reduce, you still have to show the complete maintenance money

Like I said, “Average IT support” who is working normal 37.5haaaaaarrrssss per week. If he run night & weekend shift, he’s surely making more than that. Na you wey know wetin carry you go Uk go know how to double your hustle to pay bills till you stand on your feet gallantly.

One with multiple streams of income won’t even feel it. I have an acquaintance in Manchester charging £1k daily as a business analyst.

All these you wrote won’t matter if you strategize well before leaving naija.

Before embarking on this japa process, I had enquire about cost of living and job opportunities, these pays a high role in considering planning of expenses, before choosing schools in these regions, it not just all about applying to any school, but being strategic about it.


Bottom line is, IF you are an IT professional, that’s serious with his career and has a goal, you will never suffer or regret your movement to UK.
Talk is cheap, i mean very cheap, you worked Monday-Friday day shift then you get another part time job for night shift with only Sunday to rest? And Monday you start again?

Actually,
Some people's intentions may just be to make those kind of money
you UK oldies always mention on a daily basis here on this thread...
Most of you guys have already bought/mortgage houses all over UK.
Most of you guys sells pounds everyday, does pounds grow on trees UK?, I dont know.
Most of you guys are house owners in UK, those ones may be enough for most Nigerians, if they can attain that same level in life.
Every step counts...
Lower your expectations, Lower your expectations and Lower your expectations.
There are also people buying houses in Nigeria even without mortgage.

Nobody is telling anyone not to come to the UK but coming here may not the solution to your problems

Again… Lower your expectations

With all these bills you stated above, a lot of Nigerians are in the UK thriving and doing great things back home.

I know a graduate who worked in Nigeria for 35 years and was able to build just one bungalow and doesn't have a car till today . I also know a non-graduate(Nigerian) who's has lived and worked in the UK for just 8 year and has 10 houses in Nigeria and two in the UK and also changing cars like handkerchief...this is the type of story that drive Nigerians.

It's a more draconian stance along the lines of Theresa May's policy of (making the UK Inhospitable for illegal immigrants) and the major problem I have with the Rwandan policy is the fact that the Rwandan Govt may think they are getting free money from the UK Govt in return but how many dangerous criminals from Eastern Europe will end up in Rwanda and cause trouble all over Africa.

The Rwandan President probably doesn't know the number of dangerous criminals in Europe who daily try to escape from one European country or the other into Britain huh??

The Rwandan President is advised to look at the following list of European and Non European hardened criminals some of who have escaped from their own home countries and are still escaping into the UK and maybe he will have a rethink - https://eumostwanted.eu/

Rwandan President probably does not know that on the above Europol wanted list (similar to America's Interpol) is a female named Zámečníková Eva who is wanted for attempted assassination in her home country of Slovak Republic and the Rwandan President may think that all Europeans have clean records and can not be criminals. he will be shocked.

What happens if the fugitives on the above Europol list claim asylum in the UK and are immediately sent to Rwanda and these are dangerous criminals if you look at the faces and crimes they committed on the above list.

I just hope the British are not again playing on the naivety and laziness of African leaders when it comes to doing their own personal research as the Brits may intentionally see this Rwanda policy as a way of dumping dangerous criminals in Africa as it serves 2 purposes for the Brits - 1. They can report falling numbers of illegal immigrants (an election winner in Britain for any political party) and 2. If dangerous criminals are dumped in Africa, crime will drop in the UK and it will go up in Africa.
Which Eastern European country need a visa to the UK or will enter the UK through the channel?
