Thanks for sharing.

But the explanation isn't clear.

The initial communication extending extra hours fro 20 (first image below), wasn't labelled "if you're working with the NHS".

The one you shared (second image below) says the concessions contained in the "if you're working with the NHS SECTION.

If the initial communication is what's referenced in the new post then, their communication is unclear. The least, they can do is update the inform on the initial post or hyperlink the section in the new update. That won't give room for all these back and forth.

Also, you have this in that shared link "If you do any different or extra work due to coronavirus
You can carry out supplementary work in any role at any skill level during the coronavirus outbreak. There is no restriction on the number of hours you can work."
, does it mean the update is still promoting unlimited work hours, and in another breath saying it'll end by 4 October?

It's really unclear.

It's very clear.
The section lists various concessions that were granted, and states that the concessions for those working in the NHS in various capacities will expire on 4 October 2022.

In other words:

a) all the students who've been working unlimited hours as healthcare support workers (which they weren't actually allowed to do in the first place as it's not a regulated profession) should stop from 4 October 2022.

b) those who are on Tier 2 visas normally have a restriction on working for other employers other than the sponsor (max 20 hours). This restriction was lifted during the pandemic to allow healthcare workers work as many hours as possible for any employer. Now that will end from 4 October 2022.

Thank you so much. I was beginning to think I am the only one who get what the communication is all about. My conclusion is that they are not seeing it cos they don't want to accept it.

Please I will like any of my naija people to help out with accommodation in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. I just came into the town a week ago and will also appreciate any link for jobs within that area.

Hi guys, if I open a revolut bank account in Nigeria and I fund it before traveling to the UK. Can I use the virtual card to pay for train or bus at the airport and do transfers in UK? And is there a way I can withdraw the pounds without having the physical card?. Pounds rate at the airport is scary.

Abeg make una help me reason the matter to help me plan better

tshoboy:

They responded and confirmed I don’t need to pay any additional funding and it is fine to access the full time nursery.

Good day bro, i have applied and paid for the H&C visa on the 23rd Sep. Today is the 26th and i am yet to get any decision mail. i used priority service and applied with the id checker app. i added the evidence of my pof on the same 23rd but uploaded scanned copy of my BRP today 26th as i did not hear from the UK office. Does it affects my application? thanks.

no insider needed
Find the link to pay. Pay online, if you dnt have NIN, find nin centre and go and sort out NIN if you dnt have. It is 40 pounds. Before, during or after NIN book a passport biometrics date … ideally 2 to 3 weeks after ur nin capture. After payment for passport you need to book an appointment. Check the thread for the passport appointment booking link as well
Also need to buy postal order addressed to NHC for 20 pounds and if u wont b returning to pick passport up, buy a self addressed enevelope

Those fellow students are her village people that followed her from Nigeria.
She/you shouldn't really spend more than you can pay off on a monthly basis. With rising cost of living, getting into a debt trap is very easy.

Yes you can pay for train via the trainline app with your virtual cards, other payments I don't know.

You can also transfer too.

When I got in, I transfered my taxi fare, I didn't have a card, and I payed for train with the virtual card.

By having a UK sim and an a UK address

Technically, yes, you can spend 'what you want' and pay the minimum £25 monthly but there are a number of issues with this:

1. Interest - Once you begin accumulating a balance, interest begins to count on that sum and it will continue indefinitely.

2. Creditworthiness - spending a lot and paying the minimum harms your credit. It's better than not paying anything but it's far worse than paying in full. When your report is being reviewed there'll definitely be a minus based on the assessment that you have a habit of taking on more debt than you can service.

3. Credit utilisation- you don't want to use too much of your limit. The general rule of thumb is that you should keep your usage less than 30% of what you are permitted across all your credit lines. Going too high will harm your credit profile and will mean you will either not get other financial products in the future or get bad terms.

4. Risk of default - Spending on credit cards is very 'sweet' because you don't have the feeing of seeing your bank balance reduce as you would with a debit card. You're basically constantly deferring the accountability. What is likely to happen is that you'll keep spending and paying the minimum while the balance piles up and then at some point you'll find that your debt has accumulated so much that you're now paying a lot more in interest while being unable to make a dent in the principal debt.

Personally I use my credit cards just for credit building and I transfer every pence I spend on a card from my bank balance to an account that's just for that purpose immediately after using the card so that I can see how my budget is affected in real time.

In summary, resist the temptation to treat your credit card as anything other than a debit card, just that you pay at once monthly instead of instantly. Pay in full every month and it'll be a great thing but that advice of paying the minimum monthly will lead to lots of trouble.

Technically you can max your card and pay in full on/before your cycle completes. But high credit utilisation will have a hit on your credit score.

Providing incomplete documents usually delays decision making although they should have reached out. Just wait till end of the fifth day. U should get get a mail.

I had revolut before I left Nigeria. I used the sim and visa/passport

This is so shameful and insane.
