Really? Why?

weyreypey:
You owe me a serious apology mide.

You have to wait until you get an email confirmation for your appointment which will most likely be next year tbh.(I paid since May and I’m still waiting).

They are currently attending to April applicants.

girlsupersonic:
Hello house, I applied for my e-passport online in the Uk. Do i just wait to get an appointment or head to the office. What is the next step after online payment since the walk in I was planning to do has been cancelled.

Na so jare

TheGuyFromHR:
Good one.

She isn’t far from the truth after all

Chuukwudi:
Na scam o. If you see any Naija girl wey don get papers and all... she go dey look you like person wey wan reap where him no sow.

Na those ones wey them born for here I dey find.

Applied for passport renewal since May so I’m waiting for email confirmation of appointment for biometrics.

Been a while. How have you been ?

Ishilove:
What does this mean?

E go soon reach my turn

Rich is relative you know...

Olalekank:
Please if you know any beautiful, rich Nigeria sister in early 20s in the London, UK seeking for a 6/10? Naija man for something mildly serious .... I am here
Early career in tech so not entirely broke

IFYKY

Things are happening sha. Just waohhhh.

Alright. Noted.

kaylov12:
I beg to differ, any license outside the UK license is INTERNATIONAL. Just like I will say I have international work experience in my field as a Nigerian.
I believe making a special driving license by FRSC is only a means for income generation. My brother moved to UK from Saudi Arabia and used the normal license with no reprimand, why should the normal Nigeria driving license be inferior if there were no ulterior motives?
PS I am using normal license.

This. (Inserts the thumbs up emoji). Apt.

fatima04:
From what have read the normal naija licence qualifies has international and if that's presented you get your insurance etc.

Thinking about it haven't heard anyone being asked to present either for insurance or sth else. So it could just be one of those grey areas

International license (which is valid for one year) is required if the person wants to drive on arrival to the Uk. The normal naija license is not allowed/recognised.

fatima04:
From memory and other people's experienceon the other thread, I believe the normal naija licence allows you to drive in the UK and no need to obtain the special international licence

Breathe of fresh air. Phewwww. Thank you @fatima04 and justwise.

Feels like I’m reading through the visa enquiry thread .

Boss, pls next time, try not to quote the whole write up. It clogs the thread. Thank you.

Ugosample:
I took my time to read through.
I may not agree with all that was said
But it was a well put together write up
Kudos.

Oh I didn’t experience this as the payment process was seamless after my card was approved.

Can I ask if you’re trying to make payment in the uk with a naija card? If yes, probably the site wouldn’t allow? Maybe try registering a different card?

Sorry I couldn’t help further.

Chreze:
Hi Mimzy, so my wife got a reply that the card has been approved. But she still tried the card and after clicking “make payment”. The window disappears and goes back to the “entering of card details” page again. She has tried different web browsers, but still same issue. She has also sent mails to complain about the experience twice but still no response. Do you have any idea on how to go about this.

Anyone had this kind of experience?

I believe you need to register your card first (if you haven’t done so) before you can use it on the site. At least, that’s how I did mine. You’ll submit the card details with proof of id, then you’ll get an email like the one below when the card has been approved for usage.

P.S I used my debit card. The website also classifies/addresses all cards as credit cards from my experience.

Chreze:
Happy weekend guys. Please anyone recently paid for passport renewal. My wife has been trying to pay on the innovation site and it’s not accepting her debit card. There are mixed information on if it’s just credit card that is accepted or both debit card.

Please anyone can help. At first I thought it was network or site is down, but it’s over 3days now.

Also if it’s credit card, is there anyway one without a credit card can make payment? Cos we don’t have one at the moment and we are not in England.

I’m on this table . I can’t complete one sentence without including ma/sir .

Thank you.

Zdig:
Sure- Made payment on 18th October 2020, received invite for Biometric Capture on the 27th May 2021(221 days, 32 weeks, 7 Months).

Hi there, kindly permit me to ask how long after you made payment did you get an email inviting you for biometrics?

Zdig:
Hiya, I just did Biometric Capture on Tuesday 8/06/2021. I applied and made payment October 2020. Passport to be posted to me via Royal Mail, so fingers crossed. My experience at the High Commission was surprising; well organized and no delays, was in and out in 1 hour. There is also the Fast Track provision now, just cost £100 more. All the details of requirements and process are here:http://www.nigeriahc.org.uk/. Cheers

Omg. Speechless

Okay. I get it now. Thank you ma.

LagosismyHome:
Randomly you get a follow up email to come for your biometrics. When that email will come nobody can predict. They are working to clear the backlog since before covid

You don't need to do anything

Good afternoon all, I need your input please. I applied and paid for passport renewal for my six years old and a fresh application for a baby since the 6th of this month. The only email I received was the payment acknowledgment.

I haven’t received any other confirming appointment date & time. I’ve also tried to call the number on their website but the call just keeps bouncing back.

What else can I do please ?

I haven’t laughed this hard in a while

Commercially, Most carriers won’t carry even 1kg of it. You need a license to do so and very few people have it. In your personal luggage this might not apply (re:guidance)

However, (slides closer and whispers): You must be very careful. There are people close by with ‘teams’ watching our every move. And horror of all horrors their office seems to be 4 levels above M16. Even Scotland Yard is afraid of them (looks around furtively)….. If you’re not careful, they might come with badges and haul your ass in for attempting to smuggle in ‘dry fish’ (shudders). For them, the sin is not much different from bringing in cocaine through the borders. So please, watch your back, lock your doors, make sure you eat all your fish, don’t leave any traces. May heaven safe us (sprinkles holy water).

Good morning.

Mtschewwww!!!

You’re on 2.5yrs visa and you’re already throwing threats here and there. If you now get PR nko, you’ll probably ask us to mind the air we breathe. A job that you ain’t guaranteed for life. Shiorrrrr.

Divine88:
E go shock you �

Very very unnecessary subtle threat.

Will do today. Thanks.

Lexusgs430:
You would have to try, that's the only way to know........

Do you know if I can I open starling or monzo for my mum who has just arrived the uk on EU family permit ? I don’t want to attempt it unless I’m sure she’s going to be accepted.

Lexusgs430:
Try starling, I just opened a starling account.......

Oga Erico2k2, would not like this........ I am now forcefully, joining the soro soke generation..........

Monzo & Starling now on tap..........

Ok boss.

Lexusgs430:
See me on the WA side.....

Good morning. Has anyone got Naira in exchange for pounds please?

Good morning. Sent it already. Thanks sir.
