Lol. I actually thought of that when I said "she" that this could be a man. But you know how I know its a female ? a man won't get all catty and riled up like that! "Even dough, even dough"

And if its a guy, then he don disgrace brotherhood code be dat! Abi na shim awon ti Bobrisky

Giselle is not God (only God is always right) and sorry to say, but on this one she was wrong. . The onus would be on you to also check what was posted and do your fact findings on the UKVI site. Go read their guidelines. Frankly that's how we learn, unlearn and relearn! ✌🏾

I might not be a popular jingo here, but if I see truth I say

Ire oo ✌🏾 ✌🏾 ✌🏾

Glad you were entertained.

P.S Reddit is just like nairaland, but on a global scale. I put in the search about been able to use vignette to prove right to rent and saw posts and threads from people who were successful with this. I've attached one of such responses as an image below.

Thegamingorca:
Why do y'all assume Giselle is female? Just want you to know that Giselle is never wrong. This has been entertaining to say the least

Your job and assets actually form part of your ties back to the country. They are equally important as well.

Any established business or company you're running? Include copies of company/business registration etc, copy of docs or relationship with suppliers etc. Copies of business financials etc

Include details of any landed property you have as well. Details of any other assets - fixed deposits, etc.

No info is too much info to let the Immigration officer know you have solid ties here.

Family also shows your ties. Marriage certiifcate, birth certificate of kids etc. If not married and no kids, but your immediate family are in the country (siblings, parents) that also shows evidence of ties. Include photos showing pictures with family - spouse or kids if any or immediate family.

Letter of employment from your organisation, mentioning your roles and responsibilities, how long you've worked etc - the letter basically portrays you as an asset to the company, so the Immigration officer knows you have something worthwhile you're returning back too. Attach a copy of your work ID as to the letter.

You should include a detailed cover letter with your application detailing all of these points that prove and demonstrate your ties to your home country.

Jolene474:
Thank you very much.
Yes, I was asking because I felt they no longer look at your history for the 6 months, they also want to know how your previous income was gotten, yes, I will add those various documents.
Please I want to also ask, I do I best demonstrate reason that would return me back to Nigeria.
I have a job, a have few assets, but I just think all of these things are secondary, so from your experience, how do I best make these visa officers see my clear intentions of returning, thank you very much.

Gd morning to you too. 🙏🏽 Peace has always reigned with me. Check my previous posts. Ive not had any altercation or issues in the past. I also respond to people, and they respond to me.

The point of here is to desemminate info. No one is an island of knowledge as you said. But when someone wants to "gaslighting" and distort the narrrative, in a bid to always be right, and not be able to accept theres a second view, then it becomes an issue.

Even after showing the docs, she's still calling names, deflecting, and using pettyy jabs. All to what gain?

What does it cost her to say "oh okay I've seen this info you dug up from UKVI site. It sheds another perspective on this".

For me it is a syndrome of always wanting to be right.

There's no prize here for anyone, we don't know each other. We all just helping out. Period.

Ire ooo!✌🏾 ✌🏾

Now to address you @giselle237: The thread initially started off with me mentioning issues i had with generating share code, and it progressed (moved on) from there to me mentioning that immigration docs can also be used to prove right to rent. I started the thread, so i clearly know what my responses were. And the thread history is still there. Read to understand...

As i said earlier, my employer made mention of share code, and i posted on this site about me having issues generating share code with my international passport. I was told by @cashmadam that i couldn't generate a share code with my international passport. I didn't dispute that. I mentioned that share code is used for rent, so how then would one be able to rent an apartment? I was more or less told i have to wait till i get to UK to be able to rent - cos i cant get share code from Nigeria (that was the insinuation from what was said).

I checked and read the guidelines online, and I later found out from UKVI site that to prove right to rent you can also use your immigration /travel docs - vignette.. I quoted the information and facts from UKVI site, and that was where the back and forth stemmed from with you. A person who is just hell bent on following her views against the facts, and cant admit for this one time she is not right.

So in your own words, "stop chatting bat shit" and just accept you're wrong here. I keep showing you the facts and where you're wrong. UKVI has said vignette can be used, you misread that even after the screenshot from their site was shown to you, and yet you still fail to acknowledge what has been shown to you. Grow up!! You cant always be right every time!

You might be a Methuselah on this platform, and have been here for eons, but there would be times when you would not always be right, and this is one of them. Learn to be gracious in those moments. You cannot know it all! Sit this one out and move on.

Im not UKVI, and i dont make these stuff up. I simply quoted to you (showing pictorial evidence) what the guidelines say on their website. I have also attached 4 screenshots below the post from UKVI website. Abi did i forge UKVI site too ?? Toh!

In summary, if vignette can be used, it then implies that people should be able to make use of it to sort accommodation before they step into UK, and then proceed to get their BRP.

The bone of contention was you saying only share code can be used as right to rent, and i showed you a document that said vignette can also be used. . I never said it would be easy - sorting accommodation before getting to UK, but according to the guidelines it is doable with vignette, and i am taking the necessary steps required to pursue that route. Sorting out a soft landing is ideal before coming down - if one is able to get that.

*You're not worth the replies after this. So going forward you'll definrtely be ignored. This platform Is about disseminating info. I was civil with you, till you went ranting in your replies with name calling*

giselle237:
It is now no longer about the share code can be generated from passport details and vignette stamp?
This beautiful line just keeps shifting … all smokes and mirrors as usual.

Please feel absolutely free to write 10 more pages of misleading and irrelevant information, immediately they get called out they shift to trying to guilt trip people and change the distinguished narrative with veeeeeeryyyyyy irrelevant information laced with enough sob stories.
I come across your type of people on a daily basis. Like daily!

The talk was all about the right to rent share code abinitio, stay on the discourse of the right to rent share code been generated without getting a BRP. Stop chatting batshit. And stop moving the goal post. That is a foolish rookie move.

Abeg sleep well tonight as I absolutely do not care about your 24,000 words of sob stories after derailing the thread.
Keep on with quoting me.

.

.

Anyone reading this, let this thread not digress. I am the fellow in question, and this isn't about share code anymore. It initially started off with Share Code, and the discourse moved to documents that can be used for right to rent. I initially created the thread, but my posts and replies were intentionally removed in a bid to distort the narrative....

As i said earlier, my employer made a mention of share code, and i posted on this site about me having issues generating share code with my international passport. I was told by @cashmadam that i couldn't generate a share code with my international passport. I didn't dispute that. I mentioned that share code is used for rent, so how then would one be able to rent an apartment? I was more or less told i have to wait till i get to UK to be able to rent - cos i cant get share code from Nigeria (that was the insinuation of what was said). After doing my research, I later found out from UKVI site that to prove right to rent you can also use your immigration /travel docs (vignette). I mentioned this, quoted the facts and that was where the back and forth stemmed from with you. A person who is just hell bent on following her views against the facts, and cant admit for this one time she is not right!

Yeah, we know share code dosent work with naija passport. You can only get it in UK with BRP, and you need share code to prove your right to rent...However, according to UKVI site, you can use, your vignette to prove your right to rent (I only stumbled on this when I read the guidelines as well).

Now, I believe this would work for a short term accom stuff. Afterall, it's a given that people leaving from naija are trying to sort rental out for 1 to 3 months before they get settled in UK.

So if you're trying to sort a short term accommodation from naija before entering UK you can be proactive and mail renters with a copy of your vignette and send them the link to the info that says vignette can be used. Nothing ventured nothing gained. It's not easy getting short term rental dosent mean it's not doable. A few landlords or rental agencies do offer short term.

The guidelines already said you can use your vignette. So my own advice is try. There's no harm in trying. Worst case you don't get any positive response, good case you get a positive response.

Afterall we can agree than not every land lord might know this... Information is power and if you can use it to your advantage good!

At the end of my post is a screenshot of the doc from UKVI site that clearly states "for those who are not British or Irish......"

I didn't come up with the guidelines myself, i only stumbled on it, I am still in Nigeria, and I'm currently trying to also see if i can obtain a short term accom as well before arriving UK, using my vignette if asked about right to rent.... Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am in touch with rental agencies ; based off my own research and my employer sent me a link of some short term accoms to check as well around the area and some agencies who can be able to do short term.

Hint here: So i approached one of the private accommodations that house students, i mailed them and mentioned what i needed. Because session is ending in June, theres a possibility they may be able to offer me something for about 2 months before the students resume in September. They asked if I'm a student. I said no and i attached my vignette....They said they'd get back to me on the other short term options they have. They dont only manage student properties....

I am only explaining all this to say nothing is impossible so far the guideline permits, and you're willing to give it a shot. People are quick to jump and say its not doable, housing crisis in UK blah blah. E no dey doable abi, but some people still dey manage get am. E fit dey hard to get, no mean say its not doable!

Here's the link to the info and facts, for those who want to read it up themselves https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents

I have a tenacious spirit, and i don't follow crowd or follow what people say blindly, or follow peoples opinion without fact checking and giving things a good and thorough try/attempt.

Same way they say its hard to get a skilled visa from outside UK in a non care /health sector role, non education role, or non IT role. That you would have to attaché to a dependent etc etc. Its hard but not impossible..... I was able to secure such without attaching to anyone or being in any of these listed professions...some others have been able to secure such as well... I dont say it to boast, just to reiterate the facts that - e fit dey hard, but still some people dey get am. If dem no give things a good try (armed with the right knowledge and info) how dem for know??

giselle237:
(I will not ignore)

This fellow has not left Nigeria to commence the job but is instead so worried about all the naysaysers that did not want him to land a skilled job.
All the naysayers and those who don’t know UK well… so why are you in a thread asking questions that you already know all about? You know it all but you are here debating a naysayer like me who knows nothing and who is out to stop you and your ‘skilled work visa’

Who wants to know who your employer is?? 👋 talking about I do not want to spill too much before he/she exposes employer… oh dear!

At least 3 UK residents have come to tell you that you are wrong and will continue to be wrong.
They have all echoed same thing, if it does not work with your passport, simply wait and get your BRP… but oh no… we are all talking crass!
Speaking loudly about short term rentals further exposes/establishes the fact that you know nothing about the rental situation in the UK … like you think a UK landlord cares about your bloody 30 day vignette stamp and would rent accommodation to you because you are showing him a vignette stamp of 30 days from your house in Nigeria. The 30day entry stamp is proof of what? Please do not make any effort to pick up your BRP. Stay there. Everyone except YOU does not know the guidelines or how to read www. gov.uk
Do not pick up your BRP. Tell them the guidelines say.
You are the brainchild for skilled work visas, vignette stamps, how to rent in the UK and shortage occupation lists.

With housing shortages a landlord would look at you with your skilled work vignette stamp from Nigeria… a 30 day stamp… and no BRP, no e-visa and no right to rent share code? Why have you not generated a right to rent share code since your first attack with your almighty screenshots?
What is delaying your ‘factual’ vignette and guidelines from generating this right to rent share code?


Your community people that were telling you you could not land a job in UK are the people you need to go back to as clearly you have a serious bone to pick with them.
I absolutelyyyyyyyyy do not care about you or whatever guidelines you are crying about. This I can assure you!

Shes been here for long doesn't mean she'd always be right.... and it sounded like she wanted to be right at all cost!

I posted and put the facts, yet she was still charging head on. I mean - i put the screenshot from UKVI site with the info. What more again? In a bid to quickly discharge and dismiss what I said, she didn't even read the facts/ info correctly, and was misquoting wrongly.

Afterall, isnt that the purpose of this place is ? to put credible information out there?

My responses were defending what i read (the glaring facts) and not going at her. I dont know her personally...

You say i came across as knowing it all? - im not clueless on UK immigration matters, but that dosent mean i know it all. I didn't even know that vignette/ immigration docs can be used for right to rent (according to UKVI) till i researched and read it up on their website... just days before, my employer mentioned share code and that was what spurred me to read up more about it.

If you see the initial question on the thread, it was about how to generate share code with passport and not talking about share code for renting....

My point is no one knows it all. That someone has been on the platform for long still dosen't mean they know it all...

If information (with supporting facts) is brought, that's different from what a person has known all this while, or information they didn't know....then let them also be gracious enough to accept the new info that is been shed in a different light, and not display an attitude of "I'm always right or I must always be right"

We all learn everyday. There's no one here that knows it all. That's the essence of this group.

I am open to helping people out too. I post replies to peoples questions as well, same way people reply to mine, and its been all good thus far.

love and light Amelia!

N.B Here's the link to the info and facts for anyone to read up themselves. https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents

AmeliaT:
Congratulations on your new role and your visa. It’s great to see people progressing legitimately. Very well done. @Giselle237 has been on this thread from the early days helping thousands of people. She’s always done this with no malice; no matter the silly questions asked. She’s truly been an asset and I can assure you meant no harm in her responses. However, you came across as knowing it all. So, why then keep asking? Your responses were too defensive and I think both of you going at each other is just futile.

Wish you all the best with the rental. I’m sure you can use what you have and the guidelines to sail through with some landlords and that’s what matters. She was just saying that the chances are likely to be low but I see you want to be well prepared and organized and that’s great. All the best! You got this!!!

@giselle237 thanks for your painstaking advice to everyone over the years.

lol you are still replying, even when you said you wouldn't?? Be decisive mhen!..

They asked for the share code because according to the website one should be able to generate it with passport details...and this isnt even HR but a liason person to HR ....i wont go into much details to give you an incline into who my employer is...(and before your mind goes far im not working with an agency).

They most likely needed the share code for some paper work on their end. Not generating it wasnt a deal beaker.... I only mentioned it when you started running mouth about me putting the cart before the horse (because i mentioned share code and rent) Mentioning it was to let you know where the thoughts about share code came from and what made me research about it - (even if like i said earlier, i owe you no explanations....the explanations are to clear you on your assumptions and jumping into conclusions).

I am in the process of renting. As i said, my visa only came out last week, so be calming down. I know you're hurriedly waiting to hear i failed to rent cos of lack of share code. .

Again, If you read to understand, in my reply you'd see where i said the renters i have contacted i sent them my vignette to prove my right to rent and quoted what the guidelines said and i haven't received any objections thus far. Still in the process. I approached one of the private accommodations that house students, i mailed them and mentioned what i needed....session is ending in June, there's a possibility they may be able to offer me something for about 2 months before the students resume in September. They asked if I'm a student. I said no and i attached my vignette..

Naysayers like you would always be there. If i didn't know the UK well, how did i get a skilled job in an occupation code on the shortage list that isnt a care job or in IT or attaching to be an arangee dependant. A job directly with an employer not via agency.

I studied the shortage list jobs like it was a bible! i read the immigration guidelines etc. I saw the niche i could leverage, where my skills fit, i followed some laid out steps and God did it!

My point is if listened to naysayers like you i would probably wont have this. Same way if i listen to naysayers like you about saying vignette cant prove right to rent, i probably wont have a temp or short term accom sorted before i come to UK.

It might not be easily doable getting a short term accom and using vignette to prove right of rent, but it dosent mean it cannot be done (as the guideline permits it)!

Same way its not easily doable getting a skilled job from naija; that's not care, teaching, health sector or IT; but it can be done. Proving youre the best in the interview amongst others who sef dey UK is not easily doable but can be done (so far as the immigration guideline permits)!!

Now let that sink!!!

You are the one with the nasty energy here, not me....Rather than keep arguing back and forth, accept what the guidelines say. We didn't write the guidelines. Not me, not you. UKVI did. That its hard to get done, or you dont know anyone whose done so, dosent mean its not doable - so far as its stated in the guidelines.

N.B Here's the link to the info and facts for anyone who wants to read it themselves https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents

giselle237:
Sharing an email from your employer to prove that you were asked for a share code.. really??
Everyone in the UK knows that HR 99 percent of the time are clueless about these things but know the tick boxes and would ask you these questions .. it is part of an important tick box as they know to avoid to employ any illegal fellow.
If she were following the guidelines as you say, she would have jumped at your idea of receiving your visa vignette and used that to go ahead. They have no business with that visa vignette of 30 days. Hear it and hear it well. The vignette is to grant you ENTRY into the UK.
Why have you not generated the share code from your vignette to rent and for your employer as you know the guidelines ??

Why is your employer still waiting on a code from you??
Why have you not rented yet as you know UK to a large extent? Why are you still telling us?

I can paste all the responses you have received even from the living in Uk thread that if it concerns a share code- you would have to wait to pick up your BRP but you have decided that you know the guidelines. Please show the guidelines to the landlord and your employer Mr. Sunak and stop mentioning me.
For the last time, Why have you not generated the code Mr. Rishi Sunak??
Please go and generate your code from the guidelines and stop dissipating nasty energy on nairaland.

The question i asked was because my liaison contact in the organization has asked me if i have my share code (this has been the same person who processed my COS). Even the HR don't know it all - agreed. They work with the guidelines. I was asked for share code because she needs it to process right to work.

She may have seen it on the website and UKVI guidelines that I can use the passport option. It dosent work with the passport details, but for the passport option to be listed, that feature might still be work in progress.

Not been able to generate the code isnt even an issue. When i was told i needed to use BRP, i didnt argue.

This was my first time hearing about "share code". I got curious and decided to read up about it, then i saw one needs it to prove right to rent. Now, as someone who plans to try and rent before my arrival, i dug deeper into the guidelines and then saw immigration docs can also be used to prove right to rent - vignette.

The issue i had is the person saying "Only share code can be used to prove right to rent. Immigration docs dont prove right to rent". When the govt already put on the UKVI site that immigration docs e.g vignette can be used to prove right to rent. That's all what i was trying to clarify and pin point - what i read and saw in the guidelines. . Afterall, no one can know it all on this platform- even gurus still have their learning moments. We are all here to learn and offer advice. If new information with supporting evidence is brought too light; disproving / showing something that a person didn't know all this while, let them be gracious enough to receive and acknowledge the info, and not give the i always want to be right attitude/ know it all syndrome.

First thing is to be armed with the right info and one sees how to use it to their advantage or use it when needed. Like you rightly said even some of the people there dont even know the rules or guidelines.

Here's the link to the info and guidelines if you want to read it up yourself https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents
------------------------------------------------------------

Il digresss a bit here - same way i was told by naysers i cant get a skilled workers visa outside UK unless I'm in IT or care job or i pair up as a dependant. But guess what it happened - by the Grace of God, and tenaciously following some certain steps, it happened! Not in care, or IT and not as an arrangee depandent either, but in a good role on the immigration shortage list. My point is people always say its impossible till its done even when the guidelines say its possible.

I for one like to know what the rules and guidelines see how i can use it to my play. I approached one of the private accommodations that house students, i mailed them and mentioned what i needed. Because session is ending in June, there's a possibility they may be able to offer me something for about 2 to 3 months before the students resume in September. They asked if I'm a student - I said no, and i attached my vignette, and they are using that to process my right to rent.

If i hadnt seen that info i wont even know vignette can be used to prove right to rent. I shared the info then became the bad person

humblemoi:
It's a know fact to residents that you can only use your BRP to generate a right to work or right to rent. In the questions asked, you are told to provide the reference on the document and the example in the question is referenced to the BRP. This is why you are advised to get in, pick your BRP and generate the code.
Often times the HR staff in my organisations do not know the immigration process and many times they themselves have to consult for the most up to date information.

In conclusion, if you receive an error code from attempting to use your passport, share that with your company and explain the alternative is to get your BRP when you get in.

.

Clearly you are not reading to comprehend, and are only reading to reply. So I have re-attached the doc and highlighted in green what you failed to see.

First off, the document I posted said " permission to stay for a time - a limited period - this must cover the time you'll be renting" ... so tell me if that dosent apply to those who are either on a Skilled visa or study visa. (But no your eyes only saw the part that said indefinite leave to remain..). The doc also categorically states vignette can be used. Check the image attached. I have highlighted that for you as well.

Stop arguing baselessly with me on what is in the guidelines. I am not UKVI.

You say the vignette only states 30 to 90days, and whose house are you renting for 30 to 90days?? That's why there's a thing called short term rent....even the guidelines says vignette can be used; again I have highlighted that for you in the image below. You think short term renters don't also want some form of proof or identification behind who they are renting too? Or that those coming in before they pick BRP should not be able to sort rent ahead of time?

I am personally contacting some short term renters and attaching my vignette as proof of right to rent (cos the UKVI guidelines mention this, and i mention it to them as well). Its called been proactive. The plan is to get a place to stay before i come to the UK, which is very doable. If they need proof as to your right to rent and you dont have a share code yet cos you cant generate one till you get into UK, you send them your vignette. According to what the guideline states - vignette can be used.

Secondly, about me putting the cart before the horse as you claim, my employer actually did ask me if I already had a share code, and said I should be able to generate one after getting my visa. That's what prompted me to check about share codes and then I saw I might be needing it for rent. I don't owe you an explanation.... but I have attached the mail where my employer asked about share code as others might be reading and following this.

And thirdly, YOURE THE ONE CHOOSING TO WASTE YOUR OWN TIME. I didn't ask for your response.... I know and have read the guidelines and I am conversant with the UK to a very very large. You think every post and every enquires means people are clueless?? i laugh.

Fourthly, not many people have replied to my post (stop it with the over exaggerations plss!!). Only one person did reply, and I acknowledged her response and mentioned what I saw on the site.

Lastly, no one is derailing any thread, if you read to understand and didn't just read to reply, you'd see I was pointing out what the guidelines state about being able to use immigration docs to prove your right to rent ; even if its rent for 30 to 90 days as you say , the guidelines categorically states you can use your vignette to prove your right to rent! Of cos this therefore means you can use this to sort rent before you come into the country or before you are able to pick your BRP.

Now please go drink water, drop cup and rest!!

giselle237:
You only have an entry stamp for 30 to 90 days.
Whose house are you renting for 30 to 90 days??
Does your visa stamp say any of the following as you have in the screenshot you have posted?? Did you not see the document must have those things written on them inorder to be used to prove immigration status??
Do you have ILR? Do you have a visa with no time limit?
Do you have exemption to immigration control written on your visa stamp? Do you have limited leave to remain?

Your status would be activated when you enter and only after entering can you pick up the BRP.
Even your work , will not allow you commence work without picking up your BRP even though the guidelines state that you can prove your right to work with the visa/passport.
Immediately you go to them without your BRP they will ask you to come with it and wait for it as long as it takes! Stop arguing baselessly and hear it again from me, if you are unable to generate a right to rent code, landlords will not touch you with your guidelines.

Get into the UK, pick up your BRP AND GENERATE YOUR CODE.
Several people have told you already, it is needless for me to waste my time further.
Stop putting the cart before the horse!!!! There is a proper procedure to renting/living/working in the UK, you should follow it and stop derailing the thread.

Nobody said UK govt can force anyone to rent to you.

You mentioned you can only get right to rent when you have BRP, and I pointed out that the guidelines mention you can prove your right to rent by using your immigration documents.

It's good to know the guidelines, so if one is hearing something else you're in a position to speak from an informed point of view. Even the landlords might not know this. There's no harm in people knowing what the guidelines states and the right information.

… if you don’t have right to rent share code, you don’t have right to rent share code. It is a code.
Landlord is a private entity, Uk government cannot force anyone to rent to you

You can actually get right to rent without BRP. I read the guidelines judiciously....See images below. Now whether landlords comply is another topic on its own...I cannot speak on that.

giselle237:
you can not get right to rent when you have not entered and collected your BRP + the site refuses to generate it based on your passport details.. you have to wait

I'm not visiting the wrong link. I'm visiting the same link. Still not working....Was it your BRP details you used or your passport details?

Schoolhike:
You might be visiting a wrong link, it has happened to me before , just google “ right to work share code” and choose the first link that appears

Yeah, I know of getting it via BRP. I just thought it would work with the passport option, since UKVI site prompted one to input their passport details.

Plus renters require share code (right to rent). So it's something I might be needing before I arrive UK; because my plan is to sort accomodation out pre arrival - hopefully.

Since the passport details option isnt working, then I don't have much of a choice asides waiting for the BRP and that would only be when I arrive in UK.

Cashmadam:
Wait for your BRP. You'll get the code once you have received your BRP

Generating Share Code - UKVI

According to UKVI site, one should be able to generate their share code using the Passport Identity Option.

Im trying to generate my share code. I went to UKVI site and followed the prompts. I Inputted my passport number and DOB. However, I got an error saying "the details entered do not match our records"....

I saw there's the option of using BRP. But I don't have BRP yet so can't use that.

Anyone successfully generated their share code using the passport identity option?

Hi, how did you solve this. I tried retrieving my share code as well. Used my passport and DOB as identity and its telling me no such info in their records

taalas:
Yes the link didn't work. When trying to get the share code it said :

“What identity document did you use when you created your account?”

Passport

National identity card

Biometric residence card or permit

I did put my passport number and it said this information doesn’t match.

Is this click bait?? cos Nigerians are not eligible for DV lottery. So wondering why the link is posted here and what people are to be checking

Plans do change and people are allowed to change their minds. Whatever hotel reservations you put in your visa application dosent affect you at the Immigration entry point. That you did not add your friend dosent affect too...

Example: one can put a hotel reservation in London for their Visa application and end up staying in Scotland when they get to UK

At the immigration point,They'd be asking where you plan to stay if you have a reservation etc.

Worst case scenarios they would call your friend and the hotel to confirm. Ensure you have a solid reservation and ensure you have your friends details when you land. His address and phone no

Good morning, guys. I am having a dilemma, and I need URGENT advice, please.

My trip is in a few days, and I have already booked a hotel room for my entire stay. I haven't paid yet; I will be paying at the property. I informed my friend that I will be visiting, and he suggested I come stay at his place, which is a few hours away from London. The plan is for me to spend just a few nights in my London hotel and spend the rest of my trip at his house.

My issue is I did not mention this friend on my application because I was not planning on staying with him. I fully intended to stay in the hotel, but his offer came up, and I thought it might be nice to spend some time with him.

I am thinking of changing my hotel booking to just the first few days, but I am worried that if I show up at Heathrow will a hotel reservation that doesn't cover the whole trip, it might pose an issue with Border officials.

The most important thing to me is to not get harassed or bothered at the point of entry. But I also don't want to have to pay for a hotel when I have an offer to stay with somebody for free.

How can I navigate this? Please advise. Thanks.

Ethiopian airlines enquiries

Anyone travelled on ethiopian airlines this year?

Asides your hand luggage were you also allowed to have a carry on bag (carry on bag means hand bag , laptop bag etc).

And how was the flight experience generally?

Handing it over to them is different from them asking though....you may have just given them with your passport - dosent necessarily mean they asked. Just saying... as the general consensus from other travellers here is that Qatar dosent ask for yellow card

sanyaolurilwan:
Then I maybe wrong, I've had it since I've been traveling and I remember very well handing it over to them over the counter when I traveled last time.

Asides your cabin baggage (hand luggage) were you also allowed to have a carry on bag (carry on bag means hand bag or laptop bag etc).

Really? I wonder when this changed. I travelled Dec 2022 to UK. I didn't have a yellow card then, and they didn't ask.

sanyaolurilwan:
Me

January to the UK

Yes, they normally ask for it.

I beleive what she's trying to say is since the mistake is from their end, the appeal process shouldn't be a long one.

There's no office to contact, other than to follow the laid out steps to appeal.

I saw a recent post on facebook of a guy whose study visa was denied, because of the immigration officers error. He appealed, and later got it. I can't recall the timeline of the appeal process.

You can Google and see if the search results would take you to that guys story.

Please have
you gotten update on your application post biometrics capture? I like to know the average timelines in recent times

Who contributed? Both parents, one parent? Was it a joint bank account or separate contributions from their account?

Whatever the case the guidelines below would apply.

Since a large sum of money went in, it might do good for your parent(s) to write a letter stating they gifted you xyz amount towards processing your visa and relocation expense.

In the letter let them state transfer of xyz from their account in ABC bank . Attach proof of birth certificate with evidence they're your folks.

Hello house,
Please I need some clarification/advice. I got a job with the NHS and I’ve gotten my COS. My parents have contributed some funds for me to help with the move. I’ll be using my bank statement which shows this amount entering my account and staying there for 28 days. I plan to use this account and these funds in it for my POF when I apply for my work visa next week. Do I need to explain this money? Prior to this payment the account didn’t have much and I barely used it. Help please.
