Yes of course. These are things I was telling her too but it was as if there is an exemption for those with disabilities. Which am here to find out

Next question -:

Can applying/accepting a council property, be deemed public funds .........

Anyone in Shropshire?

AgentXxx:

That would be discrimination, against people without disabilities...........

Hello everyone, has anybody here been able to change employer on tier 2 or skilled worker visa?

Would like to ask for a few tips on the whole process. Thanks

This domiciliary care is not for me. Haaaa Kilode!!!

The only public fund available to non-uk citizens is this - https://www.gov.uk/help-with-childcare-costs/free-childcare-2-year-olds . Even at that, it’s for certain earners and not for everyone. Perhaps, you could read out the policy on council flats and public funds to her from legitimate websites so she doesn’t base it alone on hearsay but on facts.

For those with expired passports who need to travel to Nigeria between now and next month, this is for you!

Nothing happened! I just don’t like the house to house driving thingy.

I feel like I am not getting the most out of my time as time is money in this country.

I am not having issues with the care work itself, I just don’t like the domiciliary part of it and would love to change employer.

I hope I answered your question.

There was robust discussion on NRPF around housing sometimes back in 3rd week of July (page +/-529). I posted a collation around mid Nov (although with focus on FE and bootcamps).
There's a body/network, NGO I think, focused on NRPF: search for them. [Update: they are nrpfnetwork.org.uk]

In-btw, I find the Wolverhampton Council site collation on NRPF well structured.

By the way, even Disability living allowance is classified as public fund.

She might get away with it!!! But then, to everyone, their own ...

AgentXxx:
A Quick one, I have a neighbor from Nigeria on student visa who is blind. She claims she can apply for council housing using her disability as a reason without affecting her PGSV. Can anyone confirm this? Haven’t been able to get a reasonable answers online .
Thank you

Compliments of the season everyone.

Please how can someone going to the UK for studies this January transfer her money from a USD dorm account in Nigerian bank to pounds in the UK? Please what are the options?

Carrying cash from Nigeria is out of the question as she is afraid of carrying huge amount of money. How can she navigate this money issue? Thanks

You can use wise app to transfer the USD to a UK account. If it's GBP dom account, it would have been easier.

Does she have an account she wants to transfer funds to in the UK? If so, let her visit her bank and ask that they debit her USD account account with the £ equivalent to the account in the UK.

To do this, she will need full bank account details of the UK account (bank name, bank address, bank account number, swift code, etc).

I know GTB does this and believe other banks should be able to render same service too.

Nice...would this also fly for regular naira savings or current accounts too?

No she doesn't have a UK account. Can one open a UK account from Nigeria? If possible, then it will be a matter of opening a UK account and moving the money from her GTBANK dorm account.

If she opens a UK account on arrival, how would she be able to move the money out of naija? I'm beginning to realize that money transfer out of naija isn't as straightforward as I thought.

I said she will use wise app to do the transfer.

Don’t know how to open a UK account from here. But if it’s possible, then she can try the suggestion I gave.

No, only foreign currencies. It’s currency conversion but they don’t convert naira for obvious reasons. Lol

Most UK banks need you to have a mailbox that dey can send their physical ATM cards or activation codes to

If you find a way to navigate around that you should be able to open a revolut or Monzo account

Abeg who don use BA of recent? I don reduce load tire . Now na 24.87kg, them fit accept?

Opening wise account needs some verification Infact me that I here I couldn’t do the verification for address and all. You can open revolut account and I can sell pounds to you . Lemonade app is another option but my rate is much better than lemonade as well.

Guys please advise me! This is urgent

I am coming to the UK in a few weeks

I have some dollars in cash. Please can I change them to pounds in the UK, or I should just change them here in Nigeria before I travel ?

Please which one would be better for me in terms of rate ?

Morning All,

Please can anyone advise fun places to visit or do in London this period with family?

Thanks.

Change with Aboki in Nigeria. it is usually better than fx rates in UK. You can google post office etc. to check the rates

Your best bet is to convert your USD to Naira in Nigeria, save it in your Naira account then when you arrive in the UK you can convert your Naira (Lemonade, Sendwave) to GBP.

Another option: When you come, you can withdraw GBP at the ATM with your USD debit card. Put into consideration the exchange rate and transaction fee.

Wise discontinued its card and inflow services to Nigeria. Nigerian banks aren't approving USD to GBP transactions on Sendwave.

If you already have a GBP account, you can do direct bank conversions and transfers to a GBP account over the counter.

In all you do, don't bring raw USD to the UK. The exchange isn't usually good.

You can try any of the following with family:
- go to the winter wonderland at Hyde Park
- book/take a tour of London Christmas lights
- book/take a city tour
- go window shopping at Westfield shopping center at Stratford (and have lunch/dinner) at their food court, take a short walk from there to West Ham home stadium.

Change your dollars to Naira and then change that Naira to Pounds with a reliable Bureau de change and bring the pounds to the UK Or like someone else suggested, put the Naira in your account and then use Lemonade to change the Naira to pounds when you get to the UK. Whatever you do; do not bring dollars over to the UK because the rates suck.

But did he have to open lemonade account when he arrived in Britain or open it while in Nigeria ?

How do you convert naira on Lemonade app because I have a Lemonade account here in the Uk , A friend is coming over with some Naira in his account hoping to transfer it into my account when he arrives.

I'm yet to figure out how the conversion/ transfer thing is going to work .

Please can someone break it down into pieces how it works because I have never done this sort of transaction before. Thanks

1. Your friend will have to send his Naira to your own Naira account.

2. You will fund your Naira lemonade wallet (lemonade gives you an account to pay in Naira to do this).

3. Once your lemonade wallet is funded in Naira you can convert to £ on their app. At this point you’ll be at the mercy of whatever rate is there.

4. You take your £ in the app (after conversion) and send to your Uk account.

Rinse & Repeat as needed.

Hope this helps.
