So this below is what I picked up from the FAQ ...its all dependent on your Airline and or your destination country. All the best.


Brightingsus:


Thanks for your feedback. I think those links are mainly for returnees or passengers whose flights or destinations countries require them. I wanted to know people's experiences at MMIA.

Yeah, that's the info we are privy to. It is airline and destination country dependent. I was misinformed you are asked for the test before you are allowed to get inside the airport from street level
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by bigtt76(f): 11:44am On Sep 21, 2020
Ok I understand but you know our people at MMIA ...they may first ask you for your airline + destination and based on the information they have, restrict your access to the departure hall. Best you find out from your airline their requirements before leaving for the airport.

Good afternoon everyone. Please we are having an argument here. Can a tourist travel to the UK with dollars instead of pounds sterling?

Yes. The person will have to change the dollars to pounds though on arrival, same way you can travel to the US with pounds and change to dollars on arrival.

You are not compelled to change it anywhere. It's at your discretion to do so whenever and wherever i.e at the airport, post office etc

Good evening all, is there anyone who couldn't travel to the UK with his/her 6 months visa due to the pandemic that has reapplied and visa wasn't reissued?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by niwura: 7:20pm On Sep 21, 2020
Hello guys,
Please I need help with this
My husband and kids were supposed to have joined me on a tier 4 dependant visa which was issued in before the lockdown, unfortunately the 30 day vignette is expired. We applied for renewal and it’s been almost 4 weeks and nothing from Uk home office. I was asked to send a proof of my current student status.

Is anyone having similar issue? What was the eventual outcome? How long did it take to resolve this?
Thanks

I got your point. What I'm saying is that they should reply people irrespective of their decision. I have been waiting for a reply and it's already beyond their stated 20 working days.

hello,
have you gotten any reply?

Hi everyone
So I booked for TLS and chose the Courier Delivery option to return my passport, but nowhere was I requested to enter my address?

Is that normal or will I be asked when I go for my appointment?

Thanks
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by ekpanbaghi: 2:41am On Sep 22, 2020
Airports have horrible exchange rates. Except you need to exchange some for transport to town, pls wait until you get out of the airport into town. If you must, change small only at the airport.

I did my biometrics today (Abuja) and I asked if I could pay for priority service as a first time applicant and they said yes, and I did for £220 extra. I hope they don’t Bleep me up. I just want the decision to come out ASAP to avoid unnecessary heart attack

Did you pay online or paid with card/cash after you asked them verbally at your biometrics appointment?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by twojul: 7:00am On Sep 22, 2020
Please people of God has anyone here paid for their visa with paga using a naira master card? I use GTB and it’s not working. I’m trying to pay for a 5 year Uk visit visa and the total amount is $890. Also I plan to travel on the 25th of November.

Does anyone know if I’ll be able to get a biometrics date at IKEA by Friday this week (25th September)? Can I do a walk in and is there a fee? Please help!!

I will strongly recommend paga. I paid my IHS and visa fee yesterday using it. By my calculation, the exchange rate used was 383 naira to 1 dollar. This is the cheapest around. When you get to the payment page, just select visa and click the back button, you will see paga verve, you would also see paga, select paga you will then login with your paga credentials (I would advice you open a paga account, it operates just like a normal savings account) and simply use a click to pay.

Please what card did you use. (Bank name and of it was MasterCard or verve). Thank you
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by twojul: 7:32am On Sep 22, 2020
Please can someone post the direct link to the UK visa application website? When I use this one https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome
there aren’t options for me to select my location so I can’t proceed.

Register a paga acct. When it is time to make payment, choose paga verve instead of mastercard, it will take you to paga page and you can log in. There is option to pay with bank or pay with card.

Card is preferrable as there are just a few banks listed.

Please has anyone done the paid email enquiry for an application that has passed the normal processing time?

Please someone should help.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by FYsol: 9:46am On Sep 22, 2020
Yes it does. They will tell you the actual state of your application e.g Decision made, not straightforward, still under processing etc. They will however not be able to tell you the decision or the actual time tls will contact you.
