Ashirioluwa:
Her application was approved, and a 3-year visa was granted.

- Application submitted on Friday, January 12
- Ready for pickup email received on January 17
- Pickup today January 18.

* She had a 1-year Schengen visa that expired last year.

Hi Ashirioluwa, pls do you know if your wife applied for the visa as Short-stay visa or Long-stay national visa?

I previously had 1 yr France visa at a time. After expiration and application after some years for subsequent visas, I got 3 months visa 1st time and 1.5 months visa 2nd time. I am assuming the length of visa is due to using short-stay visa type (I may be wrong).

Still confused if I can apply for long stay if my total duration of days in a year is more than 90 days but not 90 days continuous at a time. As I plan to start new process, I hope someone can clear my doubt.

In the absence of his BRP, you would have to use all that you have (whilst hoping BRP arrives last second).........

Why was that advised against............

The feedback from school career adviser is that the only acceptable prove of status by the colleges
for admission is copy of BRP. I found that submission unbelievable but looking for possible alternatives.

Lexusgs430:
If you're not exiting the airport, is transit visa a requirement.........

I am not exiting. Just to connect flight after some hours. I tire for all these immigration confusion.

onecoder:
I think you'll require a transit visa.
One alternative to consider is book 27th may and fly Ryanair to Eindhoven from Edinburgh. It starts at £17

I will check the details for alternative if my actual flight didn’t work out. Thanks

Bourne007:
I don't think Ireland is part of Schengen o

Sounds like he's got a schengen visa

Yes, I have Schengen visa but Ireland in not part of Schengen. I thought the republic is part of UK.

Lexusgs430:
You don't need a transit visa, you need a schengen visa......

Your BRP is a localised permit, only granting you free access to the kingdom........

I have schengen visa to enter Amsterdam . The problem is potential need for transit visa at Dublin even with my UK BRP & Naija passport to connect flight at same terminal after few hours. The immigration rules are much confusing now.

Good evening my people, pls help me clear my confusion o.

I already booked a flight for 26th of May traveling to Netherlands from Glasgow but connecting via Dublin after few hours at same terminal 2 with the hope I can use my BRP and Naija passport but got the shocker that I will need transit visa because am traveling with Nigerian passport (as Nigerian. only British citizen don’t need transit visa).

I mailed Irish immigration and got a general mail confirming the above. I called the airline and was told I didn’t need transit visa but was advised to check IATA web.
I don’t think I can meet up with the visa process going by my travel date. I only hope I can get right information to know what to do next. Thanks

Pls help respond to my question. Thanks

Apply for a tourist visa, transit visas are short lived visas ranging from 24 hours to some days.

Its a reservation, doesn't need to be paid for. They only need to see it as part of your plans.

My people, I got my passport today with 3-months visa from France. Thank God that phase is over.

I have an issue that I need clarification on. I called KLM to confirm if I can use this short stay visa to connect flight to UK (I have UK visa already) instead of transit visa but was surprised to be informed I have to get transit visa if am just connecting but not entering France.

I don’t know if this statement is correct because the lady that responded has to talk to someone b4 giving me feedback.

I am actually tight on time for this journey and don’t have luxury of spending some days in France b4 jetting out to UK. More so, I am trying to avoid stress of collecting my bags and rechecking them in later.

I can’t book my flight yet as am confused on this.

Kindly substantiate/debunk this KLM statement or advise. Thanks

People,
While trying to get travel insurance through Mutual Benefits website, I am being asked my BVN to proceed. Those who got their travel insurance from Mutual Benefits, pls confirm if you filled your BVN. Thanks

mialate:
Depends on your travel history..

A tourist visa varies from 30days to 90days to 180 days to 365 days

Fill your form, request for it with valid reasons and wait..

Its solely at their discretion...

Thanks for the feedback. Does going for transit visa make sense for a frequent traveler through a particular route?

Pls I did an online reservation directly with airline and chose option of pay at the office. It was flagged the reservation will be canceled after 48hrs if payment is not made. How can this work for appointment of 2nd week of April?

Won’t visa process be stalled due to no reservation after it’s canceled?

Thanks

Morning my people,

Which visa type is the best for someone who plans to travel to UK via Netherlands route regularly (quarterly)?

I am aware of short stay visa for frequent traveller and transit visa.

He doesn’t mind spending 1 or 2 days in Netherlands before his final destination.
Will transit visa be applied for each journey or 6 months/1 year transit visa can be granted?

What’s the max number of yrs one can get if you apply for short stay tourist visa?

Thanks

Aprokodaughter:
I understand this part.

Sometimes these apartments are not tagged "let agreed" they just leave them like that.

You are right Aprokodaughter. They don’t tag those that have been taken as let agreed.

For JJC, Let agreed can be confused as Let’s agree (negotiate)
I remembered purposely including let agreed in my search with the hope I can negotiate the rent (Naija street sense but anytime I call the agent, I will be told the house is taken. I wasted many days pursuing such houses trying to save some quids.

Another annoying one is the rental agent not removing their board at the property after renting it out. Only for you to call making enquiry and get sorry, it’s gone response.

If it’s not that one doesn’t pay per minute call, the kind quarrel council go dey settle on the house matter for plenty

5gee:
All the money borrowed to fund the corona virus interventions plus the ones stolen by people will have to be paid back, starting in April. I don't want to contribute too much to what I did not benefit or only benefitted little from.
I want to leave for several reasons. I haven't really felt at home here and ideally I will like to return back home. Also, I like to travel and work in different countries, this will make it easier for me to achieve.

@5gee, congratulations and wish you success in your new adventures.

Life na stages sha Many are having sleepless nights at TLS centers for biometric and another new citizen of same country wan jump border.

Hi Tushqueen, Lexusgs400, Omopapa and others,

Pls I need pounds and will like to exchange with Naira. If u have, let know your rate. Thanks

dustydee:
Try Kyishi. I haven't used it but you can trade your naira for pounds at an agreed rate and the pounds can be paid to your account.

Thanks

Sulee23:
I know with lemonade you can fund your naira account. But the rate is not cheap. It is also instant, fund your naira wallet then send to ur GB account. Today's rate is
784.98 to a naira. So you might be better off with that black market.

Thanks

A BA flight to Lagos today, was delayed due to a passenger, submitting a fake PCR certificate...........

We no dey carry last ..........

I don’t get it o . I assume this flight is from UK to Lagos. Do outbound passengers still need PCR result? I thought both inbound and outbound passenger from UK no longer need to do PCR test.

Amazoner01:
Sirs and Mas, any one process and got PTA within the last few weeks. I’d like to know the processes and the time it takes to process it. Thanks as I await your response bosses.

I did around December end. You will start by uploading passport, vignette/visa and travel tickets (including return) on CBN online platform within 2 Wks to travel date.

The documents should be in pdf and small sizes (megabytes). If everything is well done, you will receive a code in your registered email that you will take (including hard documents of all you loaded) to your bank to complete the process.

Some banks will take 1-2days to complete the process (getting the PTA) while some banks may tell you of long queue. You are free to ask the bank first how long it will take and can try more than one bank.

[quote author=dupyshoo post=109103785]Welcome to the UK. I hope Scotland is not too cold for you.

Regarding the bolded, not sure that is possible as I believe You will still need to pay international fee for universities for your dependants if you are on student or work visa as you have stated in the 5th paragraph.

Scotland weather is something else for any new enterant. We will survive.
