I would like to know which airline one can fly from Nigeria to UK

KLM and airfrance seems to be the logical one to take, but there's this confusion about needing transit visa or not. Has anyone flied them recently?

Check Skyscanner for all flights and see which has the best deal. Airmaroc fly Lagos to LHR and Gatwick now too.

KOVIC19COVID20:


Yes.
All students get this.
Speak to staff at the stations. They give you form. You fill. Your school endorses a stamp.
You submit with a passport photo.
You are sent an oyster photo card with your picture on it.
You get discounted travel when you purchase weekly or monthly travel card.


Read back a few pages...... Matter recently dealt with.....

Hello house,

As a crypto trader, is it better to register a company as a sole trader, open a business bank account with starling and pay yearly taxes? Instead of using my personal account.

1.Are we allowed to have people come into fix something in the house?

2. We are badly in need of wifi as my wife works online a and in the flat we rented, there is a vodafone modem used by the previous tenant. Can we call them to choose a plan so they can reactivate it for us?

3. Is it possible to open a bank account without going to the bank as we are still I'm quarantine?

Thank you in advance

We’re you guys able to get a house before landing in the UK, and what platform or means did you use? It’s been proving very difficult for us.

Good evening brother’s and sister’s, God bless you all for your helpful tips .
I’m new here in Leicester with my family, we moved to our rented flat yesterday and now applying for jobs (support work ) I’ve received two calls from my application and both asked if a have care giver experience and I said No and they told me to do volunteer jobs for three months before I start application. I don’t have DBS and NI-NUMBER ( I’ve applied for NI number and only have registration number) .
Please how is the best way to start work ASAP for my husband and I ?
Please pardon me if this has been sorted out before .

Welcome to the abroad. You didn't indicate visa you came in with. I'm assuming student? You usually can't do any work without your NI and you require DBS for only a few jobs. You can do volunteer jobs for a few weeks as you have been advised and that will count as part of your UK experience.
I wish you all the best.


NB- I have a 5 page document i titled "First 5 years in the UK as a Nigerian Expatriate (Migrant)". Although it's for skilled workers, others may find it useful. Let me know via pm if you need it.

For part-time jobs, try Royal Mail (Angard Staffing - I think they should have started their Christmas casual recruitment about now), Amazon (pay is good these days, up to 12 quid or so), for full-time jobs; Indeed.com, Totaljobs, and https://jobs.theguardian.com/ (for those who remember Tuesday Guardian in the late 90s and early 00s), the supermarkets as usual (browse and apply online and try walk-ins to local branches), and see if you've got a Reed or Blue Arrow in Leicester, walk in there, and where all else fails, let your husband try an SIA certification then work security, Xmas is coming up and there will definitely be demand.
