Council tax (for police, bin collection, street lights etc) is what you don’t pay

iCode2:
I thought students don't pay tax in the UK?

That’s the standard price on the website and that’s the only option that was available when I did mine last month

Olufemichael:
Thank you for your response. Is the fee for the new e-passport? Also, is the amount same no matter the page number?

Usually you have to wait atleast 6months to 1year before reapplying so you are not seen as desperate.

For someone that earns 220k u might want to limit ur monthly expenses to 40k or less so you can have enough disposable income. However, you have declared ur expenses in the previous application to be around 112k so you have to give a valid reason and explain what has changed that brought down ur living expenses

Christabeliciou:
Thank you all for your response I appreciate, I sent a mail to d email address given to me on this platform for complaints on such and they said they are not responsible for assisting such. Have received a mail for documents pick up from TLScontract. Kindly advise on when next i can re-apply, how much should I spend monthly to ensure it does not exceed my 2month income. Thanks a lot.

If you are going for your masters and u already have ur BSc taught in English then option 2 is what you want to select

dadawig:
Good Morning Gurus. Trying to fill the visa application form online. What do I choose here please. See attached

Almost impossible

20hrs a week x 4 weeks = 80hrs a month

If u earn £10/hr for example x 80 = £800 a month

Tax and NI deductions too will have to come out

Samgalaxy:
Seniors, Please is it possible to make up to 1000 pounds per month as a student working 20 hours in the UK?

106USD

Olufemichael:
Hello everyone, how much does it cost to renew Nigerian passport in the UK?

Yeah I missed the additional income

giselle237:
U hve still calculated WRONGGGGGGGGGLY!!
There is an additional income of 68k per month. Bringing total monthly income to 288k.
If u deduct her expenses its about 176 disposable income monthly and twice of that bein 352k.
Eco acknowledged the addtional income.
Even if as it were that been included, ECO wrongly assessed her application using a wrong budget and still went on to say it is times 10 her income. This is where she is seeking reconsideration because ‘technically’ ECO didn't assess her accurately.

Hi christabeliciou,

I read through your refusal letter and the ECO mentioned

“You state that you wish to visit the UK for 13 days for tourism and to visit a friend. You have said that this visit will cost you £2,258.56. You have indicated that you are employed with an income of 220,000NGN (£435.46) per month plus additional income of 816,360NGN (£1,615.89) per year and spend 112,615NGN (£222.90) per month.”

With this, your disposable income is (220,000-112,615)x2 = 214,770 (£425.10) meaning ur budget should not exceed 214,770NGN

You stated your budget is £1k (505,220NGN) which is obviously above ur disposable income

Bring ur Naira bro

Jaynero:
Good day people.

Please what is the best way to sell naira for pounds? I have a UK account but most of my savings are still in my Nigeria Naira account.

flinton:

Give it up to Omopapa, thank you brother!

Do you by chance work at the Royal?

Check houses around Kensington which is walking distance to the Royal tho there are controversies about some areas there

flinton:
Good evening Sirs and Mas

I'm here again to bother the house

As we are coming out of isolation and our Airbnb apartment will soon expire(24th), there is an urgent need to rent an apartment
Looking for an apartment can be overwhelming
I have been searching for 1 bed flat apartment(family of 3 an infant inclusive).
Average price for a modest 1 bed flat is &£400 and I'm also seeing some 2 bed flats for £450.
Should I go for the 2 bed flat?

Also what should I look out for to avoid stories that touch

Note we are in liverpool, we will prefer houses close to royal liverpool university hospital.
Thanks

Usually you are given 18 months visa for ur MSc programme, return tickets expire after 12months

Ohek:
Good afternoon,

My cousin just tried to book a one-way flight since she is going for her MSc. But was told she had to book a returning flight. Please, is this valid?

Easiest job to get around this time will be care jobs or factory work. In both cases you have to go through agencies. Google agencies in ur area and start from there.

Odedenshi1:
Hello guys,

I have been job hunting using reed and a few other sites for the past 1week without luck.

I want to ask if there are other reliable sites I can use? I live in Luton, on a Tier 4 Visa, NI isn’t ready yet but I have my Reference number.

Kindly assist anyway you can, the bills are piling up...

You are not allowed to work with a visiting visa else you are breaking ur immigration rule

Wonuola111:
I'm applying for the UK visiting Visa

My purpose of traveling is to work when I get there

Academic progression*

inphoenix:
I think the bolded applies only when you are applying from within the UK

Yeah I sent you pm

Ovapororo:
Please, do you have pounds? I need urgently please

They don’t even care if u come with them and go back next day but u must apply with ur family and travel with them first

LagosismyHome:
When I first saw it ,I thought it was so unfair especially as UK has many single parents up and down..... but might because they dont want you to use childcare as an excuse why you dropped out or couldnt complete your studies

That’s 687.75/£
Meaning you are buying £1 at 687.75 which is too high. Higher than black market sef

flinton:
What do u think about 15k to get £21.81? Is it worth it?
Thank you for the heads up
One should have more than one account for different purposes

You might not get away with this with high street banks. Any traces of crypto na straight block on your acct

flinton:
Hello I tried an experiment this afternoon and here are my findings(wetin boredom dey cause )

Note, I'm 12days old in the UK

Title of experiment : Currency conversion
Aim : To convert naira to pounds via cryptocurrency exchange
Procedure:
Monzo account was opened on Saturday (online) I'm still in isolation. Debit card arrived this morning and got activated

Nigeria verified binance account was funded with 15k, since it was an experiment the account was funded trice with 5k each transaction in order to meet the minimum transaction requirements

Btc was purchased with ₦ and exchanged for £

Withdrawal from my binance wallet to Monzo account
Total of £21.81 was received

Major transaction costs
To fund 5k, 150 naira charge, I did that 3 times
(Minimum 150naira max 18million)
Withdrawal charge £1.5

That is it!
Do you think it's worth it?
Started out with 15k, got £21.81
What do you think?

This UKVI sef what if the person is a single parent

LagosismyHome:
NO, at first glance as this is against the rule (for Visa application and submission)

but it can be allowed if you have strong compelling reason why the husband cannot come ....

Today’s quote won’t be the same next week but u shld be looking at £1,6+ for 1m

iCode2:
Pounds for #1m. The receiver will be opening an account next week. How much is your rate?

Although you need to show academic profession when applying for further studies in the UK. However, since you are changing career they might consider ur application.

The other drawback will be the fact that u are not allowed dependents as an undergraduate

ChinnyCliff:
Good morning all, pls I need an urgent response to this ���� I want to apply for BSC Nursing in Birmingham City University and I just heard from an agent that it’s not possible since I have a BSC in FUTO and a PGD in Sheffield Hallam University. She said it’s not possible to go with my family for undergraduate studies. Pls how true is this

They shld call the bank and rectify any issues. They can write a letter of instruction to move money to another Nigerian acct

shorlington:
Hello, please I have a question, my friend got to uk about 3 weeks ago, he wants to pay his remaining tuition fee, he can’t access the account, he can’t even make a transfer to a Nigerian bank account, please what’s your advice?? @justwise @mimilyrics @lagosismyhome

How much pounds do you need and do u have a UK acct to receive

iCode2:
Pls where can someone exchange naira for pounds in the UK?

Yeah capital one will most likely start you with £200 and increase it base on ur performance. Also, like wallg123 suggested try ur high street bank first

cchimaa:
Thanks for your response.

I arrived here in January, 2020

Can I still check these two out

Yeah u can either keep stocks and sell locally on fb or gumtree or do dropshipping without keeping stocks.

However, unlike Nigeria Uk govt take imitations seriously. Infact it’s a criminal offence

flinton:
Good morning all
Back in Nigeria I buy items from China and sell in Nigeria
Mini importation
I have purchased some items at higher prices in this UK, I know I can get them cheaper.
Pardon my ignorance do u guys think such biz will thrive here in the UK?
Thanks

We have been discussing this mortgage option for days now and no single mention/referral to a broker abi una no wan collect referral voucher?

*just for laughs*

Apart from private universities which Nigerian university will graduate you within the time frame quoted

*I laugh in ASUU*

EngrSaks:
Like say you start nursing in 2017 for naija, you for don dey plan to graduate this year...and to travel for easy well well

What am I trying to say? Make a plan and start working towards it from today.

Your easiest ways to migrate to the uk include: getting a job; enrolling in a course in the uk; or by having a spouse already in the uk...

We dont have any details about you, what you studied or your circumstances so we cant really give you advice...as wetin work for uche fit nor work for you, every man case different o

Wahala for who no dey learn from this topic

Las las the importance of mortgage over rent can not be over emphasised.

Na person wey no get good credit score or wey no get deposit go sey rent is better than mortgage.
