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.

why do u like to lose money 2x.....change ur money straight to £ from Nigeria and u are good to go unless you already have another currency at hand.

chnging naira to CAD and to £ na two way loss o

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

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.



Thank you veli veli much

Good afternoon everyone. Please we are having an argument here. Can a tourist travel to the UK with dollars instead of pounds sterling?
U will buy dollars and still need to buy pounds to use in the uk. Waste of money as this is a 2 way loss. I learnt the hard way.

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.

Please what card did you use. (Bank name and of it was MasterCard or verve). Thank you

I loaded my paga e-wallet by transferring from my bank account using internet banking (you can use mobile app too). Then went to the UK visa page for payment. I then selected paga, it took me to my paga account where i logged in and paid. You need to have a paga account.

2 years - £361
5 years - £655
10 years - £822

Sell the dollars and buy pounds before leaving Nigeria else you'll count your losses.

Tier 4 Visa Timeline: 11 working days (Standard)

Received CAS: 1st Sept (Was delayed)
Application: 2nd Sept
Biometrics: 7th Sept (walk-in at tls Ikeja)
Received email from Uni that CAS has been used: 8th Sept
Received not straightforward email: 11th Sept
Received decision has been made: 18 Sept
Pick-up email: 22nd Sept
Collection: 22nd Sept, 2020

Visa Status: Approved!

No interview at tls center Ikeja, no follow-up interview on phone. Just drop off. It's a rare privilege.

Lesson learned:
Make your application as simple as possible and avoid unnecessary info and explanation in the name of cover letter. Experience indeed is the best teacher...I learnt the hard way.

ALL THE BEST GUYS.

I think it's fine but that's my PERSONAL opinion but I believe once you uploaded it properly that's the koko. I feel the checklist is just a check list.

Hey guys, this has probably been asked a few times, but there is so much conflicting info. Is a COVID test required for those departing Nigeria and flying to the UK? Please those that have flown out should help with accurate responses.

Yes, it has been asked. UK as a country does not require a Covid test. What you need to do is provide your journey and contact details at https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-contact-details-before-travel-uk from 48 hours to your arrival in the UK.

However, negative covid test is airline and destination specific of which destination is ruled out here. You must check with your airline as some transit flights may require it owing to transiting through countries that may require it. BA, for eg, does not require it.

For Turkish Airlines, u dont need Covid-19 test but u must make arrangements for 2 weeks quarantine to show at the UK Airport (LHR) when u arrive. As I'm writing this now, someone is being held at Heathrow Airport since yesterday because she is going for 9 days vacation, tourist and she has no one in the UK, they called the hotel if they can quarantine her and d hotel said no and now they told her that they will cancel her visa.
