Hello,

Is it possible for someone on a dependent visa to be outside the UK for more than 6 months? What is the consequence for staying outside the UK for more than 6 months. Will the person be denied entry by the immigration officers?

Try white calling app, 9.5p per minute to naija.

I really like using the White Calling App for international calls and sending airtime. Try it out, they give you free credit 😊 https://whitecalling.co/install

You'll only have to spend longer years on your visa before qualifying for ILR

For mortgage hopefuls & first time buyers

This is an interesting conversation

Link to post below

https://www.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceUK/comments/11q9nq8/estate_agent_lied_about_there_being_other_bidders/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

There's nothing to take here for the ordinary man. When it's a buyer's market, you can make small shakara, but when it's a seller's market there's nothing you can do, you'd be outbid and gazumped even at the 11th hour. If not the ex-staff that leaked the information, the buyer wouldn't have known what went on internally.
During our home purchase, the estate agent came back after our offer was accepted that the seller had gotten a ~8% increase at that time, houses were being snapped up even before they were advertised, we went back and forth a couple of times but didn't want to deal with going back to the market, so we accepted it and went ahead.
I still don't know if there was ever another offer being considered or the estate agent just wanted to fleece us, but after the purchase, we found out the estate agent was the seller's sister so......

Your employer would match your contribution + tax free element + invested on your behalf + government protection..........

Remember when Liz Truss crashed the economy, Bank of England had to cough out billions, to avoid the eventual collapse of pension funds ........ Guarantee wey no common.......🤣🤪

You can decide to go on wage percentage terms or simply pick and choose........

One person no dey pay bills for the UK, person go just die (whilst the other person is just buying bags and sending unallocated fund's to families abroad)......😂🤪🤣

Continue if your circumstances allow it, your future self will thank you. Also try to take the extra free money on offer by maxing out the matching contribution from your employer, find out what the figure is and make a matching contribution, it will further reduce your tax.

This will vary form home to home.
Partner A can take rent/mortgage while partner B takes other bills and other sundry expenses.

You can open a joint account, divide your total outgoings into two or whatever proportion you decide based on your incomes, and each party transfers their share into the account from where you now pay your bills.

One party might be solely responsible for all the outgoings while the income of the other partner goes into savings and investments for the family.

Different strokes for different folks.

The goal of pension is not the ROI, the goal is to secure your future financial freedom.

Do not opt out except you want to depend on your children to feed you at old age or you have a company that will do that.

The tax rebate on it and employer's contribution is to encourage you to do the pension and I think it is worth it because if you opt out, your employer will not give you their own contribution, you will forfeit it.

Come to think of it, if you opt out, what will you do with the extra £100 on your salary monthly that you already cannot do now?
