Folks should always apply 6 months before the expiration of their passport... It's a Naija factor don't get caught u thinking oooh I still got time to spare.

It seems others are asking: a thread created - https://www.nairaland.com/7080230/how-apply-renew-nigerian-passport#118848406
You might want to ask there as well.
I suppose passport should be ready within a month. They should give an indication on confirmation slip when you go in for biometric? However, things at that high commission (indeed almost all other 9ja high commission globally) changes so often like Dublin or Cape Town weather.
Unfortunately, calling them is almost a waste of valuable time!
Someone mentioned on this thread about collection earlier. I'll try look for it if I can.

Ok, so can you get it within a day. It's possible!!! I won't advocate that route neither do I have a plug!
Regarding travel, Justwise indicated earlier with expired 9ja passport and valid UK permit, you might be good to go: as in 9ja trip to & fro. If there are stop overs or if the trip is not UK-9ja-UK



I understand your enquiry is about collection. Here's an earlier collation on 9ja passport in the UK -

He should explore single mother as an option, after all, separated or divorced couple can reignite their love interest again.
And guy code 001 clearly states that “once de be, always de be”


How will that work when the husband is living here illegally?

Please can't one get a NHS job as a student, I have gotten 2 jobs now as a HCA but they keep saying they can't offer 20hrs, they can only do 23.5 for PT..
I think you can filter for "job share" roles...those should be able to give less than 20hours I think.

You can even switch from Tier 2 to Global Talent Visa or Scale Up and it would still count toward your 5 Years to ILR.

What was your agreement with the employer? Did you agree to work for 40 hours or 20 hours? Also, are you still in school or are you done with school? We cannot advise unless we know the full picture of your initial agreement with the employer.

Did you inform them during the interview that you are a student and are restricted to 20hrs during term time?

First person i'm seeing on here moving to Southampton. Been here for over 6months and I can tell you accommodation aint easy. Try and get your company to sort an airbnb or hotel for at least 2 weeks while you search around for a place. Other than that its a chilling peaceful place.


Hello, Please do you have any link for accommodation in Southampton?? I have been searching online, can't see anyone free for January

How will that work when the husband is living here illegally?


Single mother @ the time of filing application

Illegal immigrant hubby came back into her life much later when she got to UK - boom! Tell UKVI this story for the hubby to regularise stay much later.

If you really want the job, I believe you should request for a meeting/phone call with the person who made the offer and make a case for yourself, explaining that you can only work 20 hours a week during term time and full time during breaks. See if you can reach a flexible agreement with them, particularly since you began university in January and will be finished soon (if you are a non-placement student). Inform them of the date you will finish university and be available to work full-time with them. Make a case for the 20-hour workweek and how you will perform effectively.

I'm not sure what the position is, but if they seem hesitant, you could also bring up the possibility of sponsorship, which would allow you to work full-time with them (but only bring this up if they are hesitant about the possibility of flexibility). All the best

Good morning people,

Please, between a company car and car allowance, which option is best for someone working in the construction industry as a site manager, not a tradesmen.

Personally, I prefer car allowance because no drama choosing car and flexibility to leave the company without being in a hurry to buy a new car. Also company car will be a taxable benefit with the potential to change your usual taxcode

Yes I told them about it but they insisted is a full time job and I totally understand that . It’s a customer care representative type of job . I have to be online 24/7 to answer calls and it’s also remote too . I told them that I could work during breaks fully but they insisted and they don’t offer sponsorship for that role .

Hi everyone . Kindly advise me on how to go about the brp of my 16 years BRP with NO WORK. I believe that could be a mistake. I want him to start volunteering job or perhaps paid job during the holidays. Thanks

Hi, you can try other positions within the NHS. I suppose the advertised position for HCA already mentioned number of hours prior to applying.

You may consider applying to band 4 positions to secure sponsorship instead
oh, thank you very much..I will target these, I was just looking at 2/3 for a start
