This seems to be for health workers only.

justwise:

IHS should be scrapped for those in the UK applying for visa extension, this is like double taxation, people pay the IHS during visa and still when they get here and start working.

fatima04:


Yes for now though, who knows whats going to happen next. Hopefully they realise its an extortion from Tier 2 immigrants

tshoboy:

I agree. We don’t even mind if they don’t scrap for dependents. That’s still understandable because some dependents don’t work.
It just seems fraudulent to be pay IHS and still continue paying NI.

Is there a way to protest against this? Just imagine paying for a family of 4!

LagosismyHome:


Do HMRC audit personal bank accounts if you dont have a business .... I dont think so oo and wanted to ask when I saw that comment

Now if this money you are using it and officially declaring it as an income for visa purposes then fair enough ..... but if u are not declaring it as an income for visa purposes then why cant it be a gift from naija . If my mother sends me regular money from naija then that cannot be taxed

There also an issue of double taxation. If you are taxed in nigeria then hmrc needs to give tax relief so you dont pay double tax on that money

It all depends on what exactly you are doing with that money from abroad

That is a huge amount of money and you have to pay again for next visa extension. This is really unfair.

That is what its, sometime last year somebody shared a link for petition against this i signed it but i'm not sure the outcome was positive

fatima04:


Na so we dey pay am. A family of 5 oo.

But the good thing is the new guidelines allows dependant on Tier 2 visa claim if they are health workers as well, even if the main applicant isn't on the Tier 2 health care visa.

Mine stopped working a while ago, it keeps saying wrong pin/create a pin.

And after contacting GTB they directed me to NRN department which is another story.

My advice for everyone get a token before leaving naija

bigtt76:
You can use the app without the token though

umarwy:


Yes but you need token or card to activate the app

dustydee:

How do you get and activate the app?

bigtt76:
Try the GTBank World app version, this might work for you.

bigtt76:
Try the GTBank World app dial *737*7# to get token number

justwise:


What is the difference between world app and the standard one?

bigtt76:
The GT World app was meant to be the bank's bridge between a conventional banking app and the social media world... has a little bit more features

justwise:


Asking me for access code which i don't have

bigtt76:
Checked your email account registered to your account? Have you been enrolled on the GTBank's internet banking platform before?

justwise:


Yea long ago

bigtt76:
Ok so try login with your Internet bank details and see if it allows you in. If you've forgotten it and it have your card pin, click on Sign up and navigate to the Existing Customer option, click on it to try retrieve your credentials online.
