Cassan: Hi everyone. I am going on a vacation to Albania next month. What tips might you have for me? Specifically in terms of data, currency, security, essential things to pack, activities, how to get the best experience, etc
I really look forward to your responses in this regard. Thankiuuuuuu It was chilled, we went to Durres, Tirana, and Sarande to cross to Corfu (we were meant to visit Ksamil too, but time and we had to proceed to Montenegro because it was a long drive), the currency wasn't an issue as most of the accept Euro, but you can use your card to withdraw too. you will have to get a sim card at the airport because they don't belong to the EU, so your sim won't work. er, it was generally safe and cheap, also you might have to rent a car because that's your best bet as public transport is not as efficient as it is in the UK, you can get it for 20 euros a day or less depending on your bargain. er, I will add more when I remember. |

directonpc: They didn't allow me to board till I got a yellow fever vaccine card.
If anyone plans to book Egypt air from Nigeria, make sure you have that card.
Also during our stop in Cairo, we waited for about 4 hours before were taken to the hotel paid for by the airline. Some Egypt air staff even told us no accommodation for us till we started opening eyes for them. Thank you for this bro I appreciate. |

I’ll advise people to upgrade to the fare with checked baggage to avoid nasty surprises at the airport. lmao. When we're going to certain places we just do extra 10kg. But since we got a bag from temu, we don get the hack. Lol Even the seat, we don't pay. We will see in our various location. 🤣 |

Adebayo82: Please my colleague share your experience on practical driving with examiner and for those that pass the the driving test without engaging with instructor lessons, kindly itemise the material used and other stuff that you think i can read as well to scale through as first time right. DGN Videos on youtube. to be honest, if you have not been driving here in the UK(own your car) or practising, just go for driving lesson. watching videos alone won't get you through roundabouts or the manoeuvres. Others can speak on the topic, but this is my advise. |

Mornings Guys,
Please this might sound like a silly question.
Kindly what can some that studied Master's in Public Health here apply for under NHS, roles named or with names like public health are not so common. I know it's all dependent on the individual also, however with all of the things I have read here, it won't be nice for one to limit one's self to Care jobs alone. I understand experience in it (social care/HCA) might/should count as a valid experience also.
Suggestions will be highly appreciated also sponsorship too is key. |

kode12: You start paying when you switch visas. As long as you're still withing your student visa period you're good. You'll have to go back to the council to revise the bill as you're not affected until February of next year, unless you switch visas earlier. Thank you so much for your response |

Guys, Kindly, on the council tax issue.
when does a student start paying?
for example, student came in sept 2022 (start of session) and visa expires January 2023
and council tax bill was received for upcoming 6 month October till march. do thry start paying after one year or until their graduation/expiration of studentship?
So that one will not be arguing or contesting what is not and one is in the wrong. |

Solumtoya: Hmmm... another topic that needs to be visited. I will try and prepare a detailed explanation later, please remind me.
If she's a pensioner, why are you depositing money in her account I have applied for pensioners with little money in their account. Equivalent of like £150. As long as they have a sponsor and their regular pension inflow shows, it should be fine. Dumping unexplainable money in her account is one of the quick ways to get her visa denied. Bless you sir. I appreciate. I will mention you in few days time as reminder. |

Morning Guys,
Please if I want to invite my mother say in the next 6 months.
Is it too early to start depositing money in her account ? Though she's a pensioner but just to be on a safe side.
And what else do I need to do for those that tried inviting their their parents. |
