Please I need help in getting a temporary Accomodation in Glasgow. The Airbnb I’ve been seeing are expensive. Also, how do I go about getting a 1 room for myself and partner that doesn’t share bathroom but rather with a private bathroom.

Can you advise me on transportation to book from London(Heathrow airport) to Glasgow. Arrival time is around 4:30pm. I saw British Airways for 9:00pm but they won’t allow me carry the full luggage(23kg*2) except for business class which is costly.

Thank you

Guys please. How exactly do these agents have these cos links. To make dem charge these crazy fees to secure job for someone from naija.

How exactly do they go about getting the links?

Do they liase with the employers here in uk
Or do these employers get a cut from what the agents are charging naija people

Or the agents just simply do the hard work of looking for employers in need of staffs oversea willing to sponsor, and they charge naija people for the stress they went through for finding the employer

Hi I have a question please, I am EU citizen and my husband has been refused twice for EUSs family permit because the eco wasn’t satisfied that we are really married, now he wants to come by student visa and he has everything ready and also declared the refusals in his application and my details well. Has anyone gone through this please?
Student visa is point based system

Get the required points, get your visa.

Ensure you declare the refusals too, Might (not) affect your SV application.

Switch to appropriate visa after his study.

consult an immigration lawyer too.

I can't tell if your comment was meant to be tongue in cheek.

In any case, no I was not "demeaning" the "good work" of the OP, but making a point as to why he was initially being coy and going round the houses about information that is freely available and not predicated upon access to a tax consultant.
The answers to questions asked on this thread are available online. The aim of this thread is to aggregate them and make such information easily accessible.

The information required to diagnose cancer is freely available on the internet, but you sure need an oncologist to aggregate the informations and provide guided consultation.

Saying “this information is available freely online” is not needed.

Let’s encourage the man.

Cheers

Thanks for the enquiry,

You may not have to pay UK taxes on foreign income if your permanent home is NOT in the UK.

Let me quote the section of the tax law here - "UK residents who have their permanent home (‘domicile’) outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income"

So the question is, where is your permanent home?

Permanent home is defined by the UK Tax law as the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born.

I hope this helps.
Cheers. Thank you

I am a Tax Consultant so let me advise you for free. The taxes that individuals who are resident in the UK pay is called Income Taxes.

The only opportunity you might have to AVOID paying taxes on this your income is to prove that you earned these incomes before you became a UK resident. That is the only way. If you continue to earn this income even when you have become a UK resident, then you have to make a self assessment and file this tax before HMRC.
Permit me to ask this question

I have a thriving multi million naira business in NGA, and as a UK resident, I’m expected to declare my earnings/profits to HMRC ?

Is it realistic and enforceable ?

ps: All transactions are done in naira.

Hi Mimi,

I got a Band 3 HCA offer but the HR lady I'm liaising with says that they don't sponsor that level unless I'm earning £25060 and that HCA is not on shortlist occupation list. But based on what you've just posted, I see she isn't correct. Can I challenge this with her, and go ahead to request for sponsorship. I really want d job, cos it has prospect for career growth, which is my main focus.
full time permanent position? 37.5 hrs ?

Someone on tier 4 should really be aspiring for more, band 2 is not great start for a post grad degree holder. He should not have a closed mind to the other many opportunities out there.
This is largely because of how we grew up in Nigeria.

Most migrants don’t think big at all. We’re comfortable with the bare minimum. I faced this too until I started pushing for more.

Job requirements are ordinary wishlist. If you’re familiar with at least one requirement, apply away.

Hi Mimi, someone I know got an offer with a particular trust, band 2 but 10.10£ per hour. He tried to ask for sponsorship but the Hr said they don't sponsor unless his line manager endorses him. He is yet to start the job but his tier 4 visa expires mid next year. He is keen on this job because it's a stone throw to his accommodation and he is not planning on moving anywhere else for now. Any advice regarding sponsorship?

Cc rayralph, everyone with any pointers.

Thank you
Unless you have some clinical skills & possible band 3 prospects, forget about sponsorship.

No, that's not quite right. For admin/project support roles and its likes, there's no sponsorship at band 3 but for HCA roles and it's like, yes.
I guess NHS Scotland is totally different from NHS England in this aspect.

So guys i got a question.
(1) Are care agencies under nhs?
Cus if they are under nhs, i wonder why a lot of them do not do COS since nhs usually do COS.
Agencies are not under NHS. They are partners.

Most agencies employ on zero-hour contracts

Sponsorship is only permanent-full time contract positions.

Yes, they do but most Trusts only sponsor from band 5 and above. Some Trusts in inner London will sponsor from Band 4 but you'll need to make your case and show that they can't do without you but it's rare.
Sponsorship is from band 3.

Provided it full time/permanent 37.5hrs.

Is the 30% credit card rule applicable to shopping cards that offer buy now pay later plans. E.g the Argos card with say £800 credit limit. Cos when you buy say an item for £200 for 3 months, the £200 is deducted from you limit. Does that mean you won’t use the card till you pay that off in the assumed 3months. Or the £200 is just for that month n you can continue you 30% rule the following month on the other amount left.

Cos I believe if you have to pay the first monthly 30% off before making another purchase then it beats the whole buy now pay later offer on the card. Anyone with knowledge on this subject.
Argos card is credit card.

Any spend above 25 - 30% will reflect on your credit file and most likely nick your score.

Hello everyone,

I need insights from the experienced peeps on this forum.
I got a job offer from NHS to work as a Data Analyst accompanied with Tier2 /sponsorship visa. I currently work as an IT service desk technician in a private company and I must say, it’s wonderful working here (my current company). My boss put in a word for me and the company is ready to sponsor me so they intend to put in an application to the home office to be a sponsorship licensed employer so I can be sponsored. Also, I’ll move to another department to work as a Data Analyst. I really have no Idea how the NHS works but would like to hear from experienced folks. If you were in my shoes, what will you do? Thanks
Take the NHS job.
