Pls, permit my ignorant question... How will they know she is into Freelance jobs? I thought this will be done within the confines of her home without the authorities knowing.. I am just curious to know

I believe it has to do with how she would receiving funds.. I really dont know. The way I am wired, if the rule says don't do this, and I plan to be here for the long term, I avoid that thing like a plague, to avoid stories that touch in the future

Hello Everyone,

Please i need your advice.
A close pal got a UK NHS job offer and required to fill the COS form asap but his Nigerian Passport will expire in Jan2022.

Can he use the passport to fill the form now? Or need a renewed passport?
But passport renewal take a minimum of 3weeks with the new process.

Thanks

14 Weeks from the date of application. They will indicate on the application that you should only contact them if you haven't received any letter from them after 14 weeks have passed.

Thank God! Thank you.
Most schools are starting to request for ielts ..some have made it compulsory now..as nursing is becoming very competitive especially msc nursing ( pre-registration)…if your waec is older than 10 years, you would have to write ielts oh..if you have any grade below C4 in English,you might have to write it too. Like uni of derby rejected lots of people who did not have C4 in English and maths in waec. While for some schools , even if you have A1 in English, they would still require you to write ielts. For university of Bournemouth, if you have any grade less than B3 in English, you would need to write ielts

So just be prepared for any of the outcomes

Best of luck !

with less than 80k you can get your passport renewed within 72hrs in Lagos. Look around for those doing it in Lagos or Abuja.

it took him 3 weeks... this Brp delay happens mostly to those who chose "post office" as their BRP collection center, instead of their university (sponsor)

Mine took 6 months to come out. And after then, my work place started slitting my throat with NIN charges.

Please how can one pay visa fees here in Nigeria? Please help. Downloaded the barter by Flutterwave app but I can’t seem to find the security code for the card and it’s requesting it on the worldpay payment section of the application. And also how does one fund the barterwave app from say the Uk or USA ? Thanks y’all
