It depends on where you are. London is a bubbly city.

[quote author=Scholar22 post=135136618]False. You’re allowed to vote in UK general elections as a Nigerian citizen. Citizens of Commonwealth countries (which Nigeria is a member) can vote in UK elections. [/quote



That’s correct. I started voting in UK elections as a student of commonwealth country.

No 3 is a big fat heavy lie.

The most over-hyped and overrated western country in the world.

I will not agree with number 3. If you are a resident in the UK, you can vote.
I voted in the last election as a UK resident

It is china reigning now.

Rubbish journalism, nothing is new in all what vanguard listed there.

The UK is the best place to be if you are a Nursing Professional and Teaching Professional with the right qualifications and certifications.

If u are in these two professions and u are still in Nigeria suffering with no hope of the future, quickly find ur way to the UK and thank God for the rest of your life.

No 3 shall be adopted and implemented in my state soon.

Oh noo!

Not again!

Not this useless UK bullshit_ again!

No 3 is false. Once you have registered to vote. You can vote in General election without being a citizen...

And to register to vote is as simple as filling a form online...

You mean if someone is of marriage marriageable age, the person needs to seek UK government approval before he/she can marry?

The UK has made immigration into the country a little less pleasant, with the new sets of rules for immigrants looking to come to the UK.

Depending on your Visa status, as an immigrant there are certain restrictions and rules you must follow in the UK.

To be able to engage in any of these activities you must have proper authorization from the right authorities.

Here are 10 things you are restricted from doing as an immigrant in the UK

1. Work without authorization

Immigrants who move to the UK with visitor’s visas generally are not allowed to work in the UK. You are not allowed to work for a UK owned enterprise, or even start a personal business. Engaging in any form of work without the proper visa can lead to legal penalties or deportation. What activities are considered as work? Taking employment in the UK;

• Doing work for an organisation or business in the UK;
• Establishing or running a business as a self-employed person;
• Doing a work placement or internship;
• Direct selling to the public;
• Providing goods and services.

2. Claim Public Funds (Welfare Benefits)

As an immigrant in the UK claiming of public funds is prohibited, unless you have indefinite leave to remain (ILR) or specific benefits entitlement, you are generally not allowed to claim welfare benefits (such as Universal Credit, Housing Benefit, or Jobseeker’s Allowance) in the UK.

3. Vote in General Elections

[s]Voting in general elections is a no go for non-citizens of the UK[/s].
[s]Voting in general elections is only restricted to citizens of the UK and some commonwealth citizens[/s].

4. Overstay your Visa

Overstaying your visa is staying longer than your visa permits, and this is one of the restrictions immigrants in the UK have. People who got their visa through fraudulent means are also treated as overstayers when caught by the authorities.

5. Bringing family members without approval

Inviting family members into the UK without proper clearance is considered illegal in the UK for immigrants. If your visa does not permit dependents, you cannot bring family members to the UK without prior approval.

6. Education

Without a visa supporting education and study in the UK, enrolling for education is prohibited for immigrants. Though there are a few grey areas, like children from the age of 5 – 16 are allowed to access state funded education despite their immigration status, as this is the legal age for education in the UK.

7. Forming legal partnerships or marriage

Forming a legal partnership or marriage in the UK is prohibited for immigrants. If as an immigrant you want to get married in the UK you have to go through the right authorities.

8. Professional sports or coaching

You can’t work in the UK in a skilled capacity unless you have the proper work visa. This includes coaching in any sports activity.
