Hi all,

Has anyone here tried to renew their Nigerian passport in the UK? What's the process like please? I've visited the website several times but can't seem to progress beyond the page where I input the reason for passport renewal. It also navigates to a login page meanwhile I don't see any link for creating an account (which I assume is required before you can log in, in the first place).

Thanks!

I renewed my passport and it took about 2 months before obtaining the PP.
Read this link below, perhaps it could shed light.

I just started my switch from Barclays to Lloyd’s on Thursday, am hoping to get my 200£ In ten days time

Did you read Lloyds' terms and conditions for switching?
I think you will be paying a monthly fee to maintain the account.

koonbey:
I don't know about other banks but for First Direct I switched and got the money last year on a student visa.

Later got switching promo, from NatWest. cheers

Peerielass:
Thanks for taking the time to reference that. I’m sure new immigrants on here will find that useful.

I eventually got a £200 switching bonus from NatWest. They are less strict when it comes to UK residence permit duration.

Peerielass:
I can’t see anything in the blurb to suggest that. Can you post link please?

Firstly, check the terms and conditions of the accounts you can switch to, namely Santander Edge,
1I2I3, Everyday, Select, or Private Current Account:

https://www.santander.co.uk/assets/s3fs-public/AD_documents/h257208_p562799_coremc0933jan23h_lr.pdf

Thereafter, check the links for each of the Santander current accounts mentioned above and all have eligibility (how it works) criteria excerpted:
''You are over 18 and live in the UK permanently''

Peerielass:
Are you into shady dealings 😂? I’m only keen on the switching bonus.
They all have their individual problems eg. TSB has intermittent IT issues, HSBC is very selective when it comes to choosing their customers etc.

Eligibility for switching bonus is for those with permanent residency in UK

Hello
I went for renewal of my Nigeria passport on December 15th last year at the Nigeria embassy in London and my passport isn't ready.I have tried calling their number but it's not going through. Also tried tracking it on royal mail and it's showing passport not registered.
Please I'm really tired of the wait as I need to use it immediately. I'll be grateful if anyone can suggest how to go about it.

Thanks while I await responses.

For those who are asking, my international passport was delivered today. I completed biometrics on November 3, 2022, in London. The anticipated delivery date was January 4, 2023, according to the date on the acknowledgement copy that was captioned on phone. Give or take any glitch, that means the arrival date will be around one week later.

ahnie:
Hello good evening, trust you're doing good, I saw your pm

Yeah, thanks for your reply.
mention me in an old thread.

Tawak:
Please, does anyone have knowledge of passport tracking? I applied in November 2022 and opted for the special delivery envelope option, but I am yet to receive my passport.

Talking about public funds/not public funds, has anyone checked the small print for this £400 energy rebate?

According to NRPF network and I, quote " The Energy Bills Support Scheme is not a 'public fund' for immigration purposes".

É plenty....... But you get the money to pay ....... Price ranges from 15 minutes relaxation, would cost you £45 only ..........

If you no explode in 15 minutes, you go pay for another session....... Full GFE is assured........

How come you are so knowledgeable in nearly all aspects, chief?

phyl123:


But her father didn’t sing the song ni?

He was arrested and deported for raping a child. So I wouldn’t shout his name too loud.

My allusion is to one of the most popular British vocalists of her generation, Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey not her father. She also had other James Bond films soundtrack on her list, Moonraker and Diamonds are forever.

By the way, the isolated case of her father's misbehaviour does not invalidate that most Nigerians in UK or abroad are diligent and indefatigable.

Liz Truss was asked today at a hustings event what her favourite song is and she replied soundtrack theme song from the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger.
Can you guess, mates, who sang it? Dame Shirley Bassey!
Her father, Henry bassy was a Nigerian.

Nigerians are making giant strides everywhere we go.

LagosismyHome:
semmyk and nineville thanks for checking

I went on a great family holiday for a week and didnt check Nairaland at all. When I got back I logged in and saw about 200 post on my followed topics. I said chei, I no get power to read now I check later and na so later later, it kept growing. Its over 2k....

The aproko in me wanted to read all so I haven't clicked or check post in what has grown from days to weeks..... I guess at this point I just start afresh .

Great and elated to hear from you, senior. Enjoy your well-deserved vacation.

It has been long we read from @lagosismyhome.
If you are reading this, just checking up on you and to let you know ma'am, that we
"your siblings and followers " miss your erudite inputs here.

Not been online, are you sorted now?

Thanks for your response, not yet.

I am thinking perhaps, is it this website?

Hello, can you share the exact link you eventually used for passport renewal? Thanks

Can I have the website link for passport renewal, please? Thanks

tushqueen:
Please has anyone done biometrics at Nigerian house in London for passport renewal, I need the correct link to apply

Hello, can you share the exact link you eventually used? Thanks

onecoder:
Travelled to this schegen country some weeks ago.
On arrival at the border, the woman kept on staring and scratching my passport like there is eba on the sticker.
I later showed her my brp before she later calm down.
It's so annoying

Hello Coder & other members that have gone this route as a student.

please I need your informed opinion.

Filling out my Schengen visa application now and I got stuck in type of visa entry. Is it single, double or multiple entries for a 3-month short-stay visa application? Please note, I am on a tier-4 student visa. Don't want to be denied because I create an impression of a nonserious student and gallivanting by selecting multiple entries.
Meanwhile, what I am trying to do is to save cost and rigour of visa applications.

Gokoyer1401:
Hello sir,
Whaaoo, you created this thread in 2016.
I actually have a plot of land in Odo Ona Kekere also.
How did it go with your findings sir? Did you eventually bought the land sir?

I think my area then was free of government encumbrances.
I bought the land then & sold it before I left Nigeria.

Multiplier7:
I will suggest to everyone to go and listen to Peter Obi's interviews on Channels television and Arise Tv. Come back and tell me why you will not vote for him

So true but sad.

However, do you know the saddest part? Majority of voters don't have access to all those media you mentioned. So chance of winning the poll is slim.

Way forward?

Electioneering is grassroots! His campaign team should comb all grasses of federation in showcasing Obi's manifestos, in different languages & dialects.

We need a paradigm shift from these other crops of politicians.

Xanderlex:
Last month, with the increase, we used roughly 60. No heating throughout last month. Just cooking, washing machine, electric kettle TV n fridge. EPC rating C

I am grateful for your feedback.

Xanderlex:
This is similar to mine. All Electric, same EPC rating. Spend between £70-75 per month. Prepaid meter. 2 bedroom. Just myself and my partner

Hello Xanderlex, what is the current bill rate after the widespread energy increment for your 2-bed flat, pls? I intend to move from all bills inclusive to paying bills soonest

Chreze:
Congrats. Please note that the information I shared is 99% accurate for Glasgow (or maybe Scotland). I have never visited London or England and so don’t know if the same applies 100%. I know similar from reading but never been there and don’t know what applies. You might wanna confirm from people who live and stay there.

Blessings

Chreze, what you shared is so similar to the situation in England too. Just nodding my head in affirmation with most of your postulations, even though I stay in Yorkshire.
