There are these perfumes they sell in Poundland for £1. You can buy up to 40 if you wish. You have to hunt for it cos the run out of stock easily.

You can get packs of face towels in Primark too.

For Mumcy, uou can select some good gowns from SHEIN.

Instead of chocolates and candy, if there are children, you can throw in some Multivitamins from Aldi.

If there is a Dad back home expecting gifts, you can go to Lidl and get some variety of nuts.

These are just random ideas... Look out for things on sale in shops like Primark - Kids clothings and shoes, Tshirts, handbags, headscarfs, toothpaste, etc.

Remember to stay within budget, people back home don't care. As long as it's abroad item, they'll be glad they were remembered.

Please, me and my wife are on Tier 2 Visa and we had a baby 6 months ago here in the UK.
Do we need to apply for dependent visa for our baby or visa is not required?
And if visa is required, do we get our baby a Nigerian passport or is the visa application done with just birth certificate?
Thanks in anticipation!

Halo.

How can I add a spouse to my skilled work visa?
I just switched from study visa to Skilled work visa.

I used an agent to help me switched. But for my spouse, I want to do it on my own without her attending biometrics.

Thanks!

Good evening everyone.
Please I need suggestions.

I did my biometric at the Nigeria High Commission on Nov 22 and my passport was to be delivered on the 19th of Jan 2024. This is what my portal looks like after tracking it.

You need to apply for a visa for your child from 3 months for them to have access to free NHS healthcare via the IHS:

Children born in the UK to those here lawfully for more than 6 months
If you give birth to a child in the UK, your child will be entitled to free NHS hospital treatment in England on the same basis as someone who's ordinarily resident up to 3 months of age, but only if they remain in the UK during that period.

You'll also need to meet one of these criteria:

you have a valid visa of more than 6 months and paid the surcharge for that visa
you have a valid visa of more than 6 months, but were exempt from paying the surcharge
you have a valid visa of more than 6 months, which you applied for prior to 6 April 2015
You should apply for a visa for your child during the 3-month period after your child's birth.

If required, you may have to pay the surcharge for your child. Failure to do so means you may be charged for NHS services provided for your child after the 3-month period.


Immigration Health Surcharge
From April 2015 babies born in the UK are not entitled to free healthcare from the age of 3 months old, unless it is emergency treatment. In order to access healthcare parents of babies born in the UK will need to make an immigration application within the first 3 months of the child’s life and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge.

Abi na you try
When mine was returning, I made sure all my brothers, sisters, spouses and children got at least one item, some got more and my mum pack goodies for her neighbours in the market.

The smile on their faces gave me more joy than what the change I used to buy those things would have given me if it was sitting in my account.

OmichaelO:
Guys, does anyone have experience with Egypt Air? it's the cheapest we've seen but the layover is too long.

is it advisable?

Ogonsbaba:


Thanks for this detailed information. I deeply appreciate this!

Iruobe1987:

For your peace of mind, I would advice you ignore the online tracking. The online tracking was at the same stage even after my daughter's passport was delivered because I kept checking it too.

This is confusing... I don tire with the contradicting information, I guess I just have to do it and rest biko before story story go enter.

Some persons here, babies born in the UK do not need to switch except of they intend to travel in and out UK, they can stay and enjoy the same benefits as the parents does until they turn 18.

I equally saw this on UK.gov website:

Children born in the UK
If you have a child while you’re in the UK, they do not automatically become a British citizen.

You must apply for your child’s dependant visa if you want to travel in and out of the UK with them.

The form you fill in depends on whether your child is inside or outside the UK. Your child must either:

apply online as your child inside the UK

apply online as your child outside the UK

You’ll need to provide a full UK birth certificate for each child, showing the names of both parents.

You must apply for their dependant visa before they turn 18 if they want to stay in the UK.

Moreso a parent/main applicant in the healthcare sector do not pay for ihs, how come according to your submission; that baby would pay for ihs?
Maka why?
