Hey guys, I am very happy to tell you all that I have received my visa. Thanks be to God and all of you here. You have all been a great help.

However I have a question o. I checked the visa and saw that I was given only 10hrs to work during term time and I am a postgraduate student. I was planning to work for only 10-12 hours then volunteer for about 4 hours now I can't. Pls does anyone know why I was granted only 10hours?

P.S: I have a scholarship and a bursary. And my course is a 25 hours per week one.

PTA (Personal Travel Allowance) affords you the opportunity to buy dollars directly from a bank, using your naira account, at the bank's official rate.

I know some banks used to allow non-account holders to buy from them also, though at a higher rate than account holders. Don't know about now though, since the recent squeeze on fcy transactions BO CBN.

It's major plus is dt u don't get charged exorbitant rate for your fcy needs, as would have been obtainable when u buy from BDCs and blackmarkets.

If I may advise, I'll say you buy PTA basically to meet your "pocket money' needs. If u have other bills to pay, say accomodatn etc..try and push as many of them as possible under Form A...reason being that, with PTA, u buy at bank's official rate while with Form A, you buy at CBN official rate, which is way way lower than most bank's official rate.

To buy PTA, you need the following;

Your Visa, Data Page of your Int'l Passport, Flight Ticket and of course, the bank wld give u an application form to fill.

Others with more info I didn't mention could equally add...

Hello everyone,

Please I want to find out if a letter from from my bank stating that the funds has been in my account for 28 days is required.

My appointment is tomorrow and I just printed my account statement. I didn't do any transaction on the account for the 28 day period. So the statement is just about one-eighth of a page. I hope this won't be a problem? Thanks

spikesC:

Congrats

worry359:


As long as it shows the dates then it should be no problem.

Pls guys I got my visa lastweek but I just noticed that the bank statement I printed out when applying is missing.. Would I need to show the immigration officers at the airport? Or is this normal?
