Hello, thanks for the feedback I have always known that I learn better with visual aids and practical than reading. Can you share list courses that are practice based and which school offer such, currently researching such schools and courses not about the ones I have seen

H0tbabe:
Hi guys, hope you guys didn't miss me much grin well, to prospective UK students, be careful with ur choice of course, not all that glitters is gold here oh, don't go with just whats written on school page about a course, if possible connect with a present student and no if the course would meet ur expectations, I'm writing this because I'm having regrets already, doing msc environmental management and I'm already wishing I did more active/practical course. Its not entirely a bad course, just that I imagined something different in my head, just be careful, thats my advice, u guys stay safe, cheers!

Mine is for one way. And scheduled for 10th Oct.

Call them again and this time when they connect you to a call person request to speak with Annabel. She did mine for me if she is busy on another call you can also request to speak with Arion she is also up to date.

Thank you very much.

Banks are not giving PTA for one way ticket at the moment. Even return ticket are finding it difficult. So far Stanbic IBTC is the most likely option.
Ibromoney:
Please, which bank is giving PTA? I have approached a number of them today and they keep saying they don't have.
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by Kinpelz(f): 11:26pm On Oct 06, 2020
Check with stanbic IBTC if you have an account with them. You can also try their BDC. The rate for their BDC is 391 to a dollar

Its official, student visa replaces Tier 4. Thankfully, IHS is still £300/year and maintenance is still £1015/£1265. I hope both fees remain so.

please i need clarification. Does stanbic have a BDC asides from their regular banking operation?

This new visa is a big change compared to the tier 4 visa. Part timers can apply, dependants can switch in-country, no proof of financial requirements after 12 months etc.

@justwise.. Looks like a new thread needs to be created.

I will try to break it down as much as I can. I hope it helps.

You can only open Monzo and Starling accounts once you're in the UK because you'll need a UK phone number and address.

Transfer wise is an app that you can use to transfer money across different countries. If you don't download a VPN app / service (VPN - Virtual Private Network - allows you to use IPs that mask your location and shows IPs from other countries making it seem like you're in a different country), the Transfer Wise app will automatically select your location as UK (for example) and you'll only be able to transfer from the UK to other countries and not the other way round because of your IP address.

Dorm account is your $£€ account in Nigeria. You can usually transfer to foreign accounts via online banking or by sending an instruction to your bank or account manager to do this. This will be subject to any restrictions that your bank has in place.

BDC is Bureau De Change aka black market sometimes. They usually take your Naira while they transfer the £ equivalent to your UK account.

But if the above still seem complicated, just carry cash on you and open an online account that you can pay your money into as soon as you arrive and sort your phone number and address. You can always open account(s) with a brick and mortar bank after you get your BRP and are settled.

Please I couldn't find Robert Gordon University in the list of Registered student sponsors. Please does this mean it might be a problem to get CAS from them and VISA approval or i might not get the 2years post study Visa after masters. Or is it just an oversight.

I got Lagos to London student fare for 276k via wakanow.

You have to call the customer service to book and pray you are connected to a person that is up to date not the ones that will tell you that the student fare is only for part time student below 30 years of age.

I got mine at 248k for tomorrow Thursday and i booked on Monday, I think Aeroland is still the best with ticket deals.

Check the site where you are searching carefully; RGU is definitely a registered institution.

Symbae:



Note that TransferWise is also an online bank like Monzo, Starling or Metro, but for our purposes it is way better than Monzo because it is open to users anywhere in the world, i.e. you can open a TransferWise bank account from Nigeria, with your Nigerian address and phone number, and they will give you an account number which you can then use to transfer money from your Nigerian domiciliary account. You don't need a VPN to use it from Nigeria and you don't need an app (optional). Just use your PC to connect.

When you get to the UK and open an account, you can then transfer your money from the TransferWise account to whichever new account you open in the UK, be it an online bank (which is faster and will come with a debit card, very necessary) or a physical B&M one.

Basically you "upload" your money by making all your transfers from Nigeria before you go and ensuring there are no problems from the Nigerian end (I have had none from GTB thus far, I used their online banking), then "download" your money when you get to the UK. They don't charge fees for local intra-UK bank transfers.

Yes you should never buy a ticket when you dont have your visa in hand ..... it might be a general advice and not applicable to your visa

It depends on what mistake you made on your visa but yes this common sense advice
