i am just few months old here so not qualified ....... until the elders come, I think that's the wahala with sponsored care work. Well, just try and get a car, whether through loan or not. Whether you like the car or not. What matters most at this time is stability. You can always adjust to your taste later.

Alright, would do just that. Thank you

You can look for a zero hours flexitime job. Something like the Royal Mail/NHS Professionals bank kind of thing where you are not bound to work at specific times and book shifts you want which fit your availability (maybe night/twilight shifts in your case, if you have children).

Second, if your husband is going to be doing domiciliary care, obviously housing location doesn't really matter because the clients could be anywhere. Roll the dice and look for a house anywhere, preferably as central (or not too out of the way) in your city as you can get in this harsh rental market (for your own future commuting). For example, think somewhere central like Maryland, Gbagada or Surulere in Lagos.

Regarding a car, it's entirely up to you what you buy. Fireworks were thrown about quite a few pages back regarding the desirability or not of buying a cheap old banger as a new arrival - you decide what you want to buy, you can either buy something within the loan amount or nothing stops you from adding money on top of the loan amount to buy a preferably better car than what the loan amount could fetch. It's your call.[/quote]

Thank you. Let me search for those kind of jobs and be busy for now until his job is stable.

Dear UK-based Global Freelancers:

1. How do you receive money (USD) in the UK?

2. I saw a USD account feature on my Revolut app, can it be used for USD inflow?

3. How are Freelancers that earn from abroad taxed in the UK?

4. If I have a Nigerian USD account and receive USD into it, then convert to Naira, then convert to GBP, would that make sense and will the inflow be taxed?

Thanks

Yes you can and you should be fine if you follow the plenty advice on CC usage that abound on this thread. Basically pay up your balance in full every month or in the least make the minimum payment. The rule of thumb is don't spend money you don't already have on your credit card and you will be ok.

[quote author=tolajay post=113347621]Dear UK-based Global Freelancers:

1. [How do you receive money (USD) in the UK?
Your clients can either wire the money direct to your UK GBP account (it will be converted at the day's exchange rate), or you can open a Wise USD account so that you can receive directly in USD, as a separate account will help for accounting (and maybe tax) purposes.

2. I saw a USD account feature on my Revolut app, can it be used for USD inflow?
No idea. Try it and see.

3. How are Freelancers that earn from abroad taxed in the UK?
You have to declare your income to HMRC separately by filing a self-assessment either online or manually. If your income is sizeable, best to pay an accountant so they can claim all the reliefs claimable and loop you through the loopholes

4. If I have a Nigerian USD account and receive USD into it, then convert to Naira, then convert to GBP, would that make sense and will the inflow be taxed?
See the response to 2 above. No-one goes checking your accounts for inflows to be taxed, except where their amounts raise questions at your bank. It is your duty to declare your income to the government

justwise:


You can call them and request to downgrade to broadband only, even with broadband and landline only you are still paying too much.

i used to be with them and was paying £27 a month..broadband and landline, after a year i renegotiated it down to £25.

Currently with talk talk, started with £28 a month..broadband and landline, a year into the 18months contract i switched to another supplier within 3days talk talk called me and offered me a better contract with the same speed..which was all i wanted, wasn't interested in leaving them, just wanted to pay less and it worked.

You can do the same.

I sent you a mail. Kindly respond,pls

Good evening seniors in the house. I want to ask a question. What is full Uk drivers License means when employers ask for it. Is having automatic license that’s is not provisional also full license?

Did you get the "automatic licence" after passing your uk practical driving test? If yes, then what you hold is a full UK driving licence.

giselle237:
no. it’s a temporary visa
After 5 yrs on it and meeting the conditions you can then apply for settlement visa (ie ILR)

I greet you boss, please when you say meeting the requirements, what are the requirements. I wantu start gathering the requirements sumusumu

Lexusgs430:


You got experience in nursing assistant roles.......... The hospital bank staffing departure, would not just employ you like that o ........

Start by hoping, the bank department would curre be recruiting, when you arrive ..........

I hope you get a role with the staffbank department, you would then decide your shift patterns........

Bank staff does not only apply to hospital na. Many care homes offer bank shift.

To the dude asking; yea, come in first. You can apply as a bank staff. That would actually be more beneficial to you in terms of flexibility. Whilst at it, also go online and apply to remote jobs as a Data Analyst. You never might know. It may not come immediately but if you have already started in the care industry, then at least you have an income. Keep at it. Something should eventually click

Lexusgs430:
No jokes...... I would need a secretary to deal with this IPTV lovers request......

NHS trusts have bank staffs, how do you apply for staff bank roles, if not via the hospital........

info can be found here :- https://www.gov.uk/indefinite-leave-to-remain
Depends on your route- 5 years or 10 years. Each must be lawful/legal
By now you should know which one you have started on
For tier 2/H&C/skilled worker you need to spend 5 years in UK to get indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and one year after ILR to get citizenship and passport.
5+1 = 6 years
Some(illegals) use the 20 year route ie 20 years if illegal goes to 10 years legal and then ILR = total of 30 yrs
(Consult with a solicitor for this)

Good evening elder.

Please has anyone travel to the UK from Abuja using Qatar airways recently? Were you required to present a COVID test result at the Abuja Airport? Response will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Yep, 5 years for most: H&C/skilled worker (Tier 2).
If however you are academically inclined, you may roll into ILR in 3 years. Not a route for many though. #GlobalTalent See https://www.gov.uk/global-talent-researcher-academic
Same 3 years apply for Global Talent (digital technology) #leader (exceptional talent). It reminds me of the good old HSMP.

I have reached the maximum referral bonus limit (£400.00)..........

After 20 years such a person who had no visa, can apply to start a ten year route to settlement, applying 4 x 2.5 year visas. 20 + 10= 30 yrs to ILR. He/she will need evidence from every year of his residence in the UK.

Kudos @Viruses. #innovative #ingenious
For those that might want wider reach, you may substitute the 5G enabled phone with a 5G (CPE) router (most should.
Seems 3 has a 5G router on contract for about £20 pm (5G Home Broadband Hub on 'special' with £60 pre-paid Mastercard). EE and Vodafone seems expensive with their offerings.

If you can, you might want to source Huawei 5G CPE pro range (H112-370) router

For standalone 5G router, see https://5g.co.uk/guides/best-5g-router/

Viruses:

You might not go with this option but let me still put it.
I and my household use 3 sim only contract. We put the sim in a phone and every other devices use it's hotsopt. Smart tv, Netflix, laptops, phones etc all connected and works absolutely well.
Unlimited data, no cap. £16/month
Confirm that your area has 5G with 3 network and the phone is 5G enabled as well else don't try it.

The babe works in IT Audit with NHS and she's on a student visa (20 hrs)

Does it qualify as sponsorship and towards ILR?

1. No to the first half of the question, and yes to the second half. She's on a student visa, so she is not being sponsored.

Sponsorship is a specific process whereby the employer tells the Home Office you are working for them and you are given a COS number (same concept as a CAS number for students) to apply for a Skilled Worker (former Tier 2) visa. If you get a skilled worker visa, you have to spend 5 years on that visa (you can change employers) to qualify for ILR.

2. If you are on a student visa, all time spent legally in the UK counts towards the 10 year ILR route, including student visas and the post-study visa.
