Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by mikeayus(m): 6:48pm On Aug 20
MarksmanD:
Not true. I thought this was so before I tried it earlier this year. I have a UBA dom account and I was able to send USD directly from my Payoneer account to my UBA dom account without even using Swift code and beneficiary account number UBA gives. Only my UBA Dom account number was used for it. Also you can send money directly from Revolut to a Dom account. I have received money from Revolut like 4-5 times but you need to use Swift code and beneficiary account number the bank gives. The company I work for pay us using Deel and I tried direct transfer from Deel to my Dom account last week. It notified me that the transfer would take 5 working days, I'm still waiting for it to hit my Dom account. There many digital banks that can send money to your Dom account and you'll receive it as USD.

Hi bro, can you please tell me how you were able to setup Revolut account...its asking me for country of residence and nigeria isn't on the list

No, CBN had them disabled the ability to transfer.

Okay, thanks....Hopefully I can transfer from my Gtb Dorm to Grey for instance and convert to Naira using Grey's rate...Do you know if this would work?

My experience with them not good at all. I tried receiving from them and it all failed. There are some banks that can't transact with them.

Please what bank are you trying with that failed?

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Geegpay Vs Payoneer Vs Grey: Which Is The Best For Nigerian Freelancers? by mikeayus(m): 3:33pm On Aug 11
IMAliyu2:
I have all of them, I withdraw from my payoneer to my Grey account and exchange to Naira, I have not used geegpay so far.

I have not used my geegpay account because of the deposit fee, which is a 0.9% minimum of $1.5 & max $30 which I don't want to give them.
However if you deal in large amounts of money, geegpay will be cheaper.

Grey on the other hand has a flat deposit fee of 1%. Which comes out to a few cents for the amounts I make.

In regards to the type of US bank account they use, Geegpay is superior. Geegpay US bank account is WellsFargo bank,
Grey uses a community Bank.

In terms of conversation fees Geegpay doesn't have conversation fees, but Grey charges another 1% for conversion to Naira.

Overall you can have both then choose which one is more convenient for you.

Payoneer is an annoying one, if you can avoid them then do so, unless the platform only works with payoneer.

Great Post...please can I transfer from geegpay and grey.co to my gtbank dorm account?

Business / Re: CAC Name Search Issue by mikeayus(m): 8:39am On Aug 02
Eddodoh:
I noticed that when I try to search my proposed company name on the CAC website for reservation it shows that no record found which I am sure means it's available as no similar name or anyone uses it.

But I submitted the names for reservation, both names were rejected citing companies with similar names. It is that the CAC name availability search is not reliable?


Please how many days did it take for them to reject after you submitted for reservation?

I need guidance or suggestions.

Eddodoh:
This name search, I feel that it's not reliable ooo. I carried out search before I submitted for reservation but I got a rejection message that those names I provided look identical with some names they gave.

Why didn't those names pop out when I was doing the name search? That's my concern.


I don't even think the name search is working right now...I tried yesterday to search for a business name I know exists, infact I had searched for the business name last year when it was newly registered and it came up...but as at today the name search is not returning any records for the name.

Hi, I am in a bit of confusion choosing between Australia or Canada to Japa to. Quick context. I have a Job that pays me N4m monthly. I started since December 2023 and I have been able to save 20m naira. the thing is tech jobs in Nigeria are very unpredictable and I can wake up one morning and see everyone has been laid off hence I am not totally locked in on staying in Nigeria and Jobs are quite difficult to land (High Paying). I made the decision to use my savings to Japa and have narrowed down these two countries. other countries are welcome. which would be suitable for me. I work as a Data Analyst/Engineer for a tech company. I have 3+year's experience. I am Single and just turned 28 years.
I haven't quite my job so I am currently still working.

Please which company do you work for? I'm also a data analyst, bi developer and data engineer and like to connect with hr in your company

Okay, thanks for the details man! just curious, how much did the process cost?

lga23:
Agent: not necessarily only a dHl agent, more like a courier agent. they help you generate waybills to send packages.
dhl office: works for del only handle dhl

NB: I used the phone number of the agent in the google docs link. she was very helpful

lga23:
Yes, I followed the post that was shared right under my question. Also I'll suggest you use a dhl agent to generate the waybill. The dhl office couldn't generate a return slip but the agent did.

Please clarify difference between dhl office and agent...I would expect that the agent is someone who works in the dhl office. Thanks

Recent experience at TLS Ikeja contact center for UK Visa

Hi all,

So I recently visited the TLS center at ikeja for my biometrics and I kid you not I spent about 20mins in total. It was a breeze in and out.

People no dey go Youkay again o. Lol. There was no crowd at all. As I got to the gate, under 2 minutes, they checked my appointment confirmation and let me in.
Then another lady checked all my docs, under 2 minutes again I was ushered into the main building. Spent about 10 mins on the queue where they checked my docs and gave me the black bag to proceed for biometrics.

At biometrics I spent another 7mins and I was done.

Now this takes me to my main question; If there's no crowd for visa, why can't people see close appointment dates? When I checked, the earliest datei saw was 10 days ahead.

Im wondering do they intentionally block out dates so one can pay for flexi (with flexi you pay about 90k to come on for any appointment at any time).

Because if no one is traveling people should be able to see close dates to book

Hey guys, I have a question about the account I want to submit for my visa application

The only credits in this account in the last six months are my salary paid every month

There is also a credit of 10,000 from my husband, that’s all. We bear the same surname

But there are a lot of debits for my day to day living expenses. ATM withdrawals, fuel purchases at filing stations, restaurants, airtime, data, etc

Is this kind of account clean enough for UK visa application?

In my little experience, i believe this is the best kind of account to use .....it shows constant salary payments and operational expenses...as against a sudden lump sum or account with no activity. Just include your payslips and you should be fine

The POF money must be in ur account for 28 Consecutive Days. Minus the day you started the POF and start counting from there
For Example you started your POF on the 3rd of May, you start counting 28 days from the 4th of May.
When this 28days rule is complete. You download this Bank statement and apply for your CAS.
If ur CAS comes out fast within the period u printed your bank statement and it is not up to 31 days. U can use the same Bank Statement and apply for ur Visa. This thing is very straightforward...
Don't spend too much money for wanting to save ur POF for up to 2 months..

MIND THE 28DAYS RULE AND 31DAYS DAY...


Hi....thanks for this detailed response.
However, I'm assuming this only applies to student visa applications, or does it apply to visit visa applications too?
