I experienced that in 2023; my UK visa and family, started on the 25th of that month. The Qatar flight from Nigeria departed at 10am on the 24th from Nigeria to arrive in the UK on the 25th at 6am. You will NOT have a problem with boarding Qatar flight and staff on that day.

But at almost the last point of the Nigeria immigration side, they would try everything to frustrate and extort you (telling you, Why do you want to exit Nigeria when your UK visa has not started?; telling lies their like their system flagging it, would not allow them to check you out....bla..bla... they would ask you to come back the next day,your visa start date. Though I strongly disagreed with their story and was very adamant not to give them a dime, they still delayed and extorted 10k from family of 5 at that point.... we were never expecting there could be this kind of extortion. Hope they would have changed now. you may prepare against this.

Thanks a lot for your response. I will keep that in mind.

Most likely. Your trip to UK via Doha is based on your valid visa.

Since the visa is not valid till 27th, Qatar Airways might not permit you to travel to Doha.

Best you change your travel date. What were you thinking?

I just left the Qatar Airways office and they called their check-in desk at the airport and they said there wouldn't be any issues boarding me since I will be entering the UK when my visa is valid that's the most important aspect.

Thanks everyone for your help.

They will most likely not let you board. You can depart from 27th and not before.

This has happened to me before with Air France and they boarded me.

My visa start date was the following day, whereas I was to depart at 11pm or thereabout.

Using these your dates for example. My Schengen France visa starts on the 27th, but I booked AF flight scheduled for takeoff around 11pm on the 26th.

Air France boarded me. But I recall I got in touch with them earlier and received confirmation that they'll board me. Some Naija immigration I sought their opinion earlier wanted to use that opportunity to extort me but I later ignored them.

Now, AF may exercise some discretion and flexibility because they are the national carrier of their country,my destination and may be able to easily sort things out.

So you have to ensure you get multiple confirmation from Qatar. Both their customer care and directly from their Airport desk.

All those Emirates, Qatar, Turkish, MAROC... Those guys sometimes do not treat us with respect and dignity. Emirates almost made me miss my connecting flight from Dubai to Paris on one occasion when they were analysing my visa over and over saying it looks fake. I just stood there watching all their antics with amusement wondering if someone who is not the issuing authority can validly declare a visa as fake.

All these english On top simple question wey person ask.

Negate first leg? Na champions league?

Mrphilia, I don’t think you’d have any issue. As long as you have a valid visa. You can lay over in Doha, Qatar as a first timer going to the UK.

Speaking from experience.

Okay I will go to their office today and confirm.

Lexusgs430:
Was your flight Qatar Airlines..... I would ask questions before the day, than risk refused boarding.......

Yes I'm using Qatar airlines

Lexusgs430:
I would think yes .... But, go to the airport tomorrow and make enquiries......

So you think I will have an issue boarding. Maybe I should go to the Qatar airways office tomorrow morning to enquire. Do you think that good enough?

Good day everyone,

I want to depart Nigeria on the 26th because I will be using a connecting flight by Qatar airways which arrives Gatwick on the 27th but my entry date is 27th to the UK.

I want to know if I would have any issues boarding on that 26th?

Good afternoon everyone, I created a UKVI account today in other to link it to my evisa, I got a mail that I can view my evisa minutes after linking but when I open the link in the mail and login to my profile. This is what I see. Screenshot attached

I can access my share code though without any issues, it's just the evisa I can't access.

Should I be worried?

Hello guys, i tried to pay with OPAY on AliExpress for the first time and got this error below, i tried few more times & still getting same error, any solution for it would be highly welcome, i have some hrs left before my payment time will expire

Thanks!

If your Opay account is in Tier 2 and you are trying to order items above 195k, you might experience this issue.

Mrphilia:
Good morning Everyone,

Please I made about 4 orders from AliExpress. 2 of the orders confirmed that order shipped (package left warehouse) and I can track them on Parcelapp with their tracking number

The other two just say order shipped (the seller has shipped your order) and I can't track them on parcelapp with their tracking number.

Attached is a screenshot of one of the order I cant track

Should I be worried?

This package was delivered to me yesterday. Just under 2 weeks.

Good day everyone,

I'm trying to get this item from AliExpress using the choice. It's just a small instrument for work that doesn't weigh anything. I want to know if I would have to pay custom duty because of the price?

Good evening everyone,

Tomorrow is my biometrics and I don't know if I should only carry the document on my checklist which were international passport and police certificate to VFS. Will that be enough?

Attached is my checklist

Yes please

Doing the additional transfer of 50 Naira is a good idea right?

Good evening everyone, please I made a mistake when paying for my TB test using the online transfer, instead of paying 142,205.50, I paid 142,158.00 and my appointment is on Thursday morning. Should I transfer even if its an additional 50 Naira and go with both receipts? Or is there any other likely solution to this?

Good day Everyone,

Can I use my Naira ATM card to pay for my visa application fees and IHS fees? If not how would I go about the payment?

Thanks

Maresca’s tactics have been top notch this game. Knew Brentford will park the bus. We are killing them with cross after cross right from the get go and not letting them play long balls on the break.

That goal is immensely important, now Brentford can’t just sit back anymore and our boys are feeling themselves a bit more

AquilaW:
Declare it. It is still 2014.

Thanks a lot for the response. I will go with yes then and I will declare it as you pointed out. The issue is that it's on my previous expired and lost passport so I will not be able to present evidence. I have a police report for the passport though.

AquilaW:
Yes. Transit Visa.

That’s how you answer.


I declared my July 2014 visa and my October 2014 visa refusal. It is still within 10 years.

So the month doesn't matter? June 2014 to August 2024 is 10 years and 2 months.

Good day everyone, Please If you were issued a transit visa in June of 2014 and it was valid until December of 2014, How do you answer the "Have you been issued a visa in the last ten years" question? If you are applying today being August 2024.
