Good day house
I called wakanow for the student promo with BA to London and i was informed its for students below 30years
Please has anyone above 30yrs been able to benefit from the promo
That’s not true , which agent is that ? I just spoke to wakanow minutes ago for British airways and they only asked me to bring my student visa to the office and flight as of today is 215k to London

Putting this out for those interested in cheap flight tickets. Tickets don't have to be expensive if you know where to look unless it is compulsory to use BA. I booked for someone for 10th October (Turkish airlines) and there was more than 200k difference between the price and BA.

For those trying to cut down on flight tickets, use skyscanner.net and you can save close to $700 than using BA. They might not be direct flights though and may usually have one stopover.

https://www.skyscanner.net/transport/flights/LOS/LOND?oym=2010&selectedoday=01&iym=2010&selectediday=01
I think people don’t have that time for a COVID 19 test that’s why they are going for BA

What's your tracker saying?
If it says transferred back to VAC, you can go and check at the TLS office even without the mail esp if you ate in Lagos


It’s still saying at DMC though

Thank you to all who assist on this forum.

I got this too this morning and i am a little scared cos i didnt do phone interview.

Don’t worry about it, I think people that submitted from September 7th are not being called for phone interview especially if your decision was made in Pretoria , I am talking from the chats I’ve been reading on here from people that got decisions from U.K. Pretoria.

So let’s hope and pray it’s positive , me I am going to stand at vi from 1pm sha waiting for collection email lol

Morning everyone

So I just got this in my email

Please be advised that a decision was made on your visa application today. Your documents and visa decision will now be returned by commercial courier to the visa application centre where you applied (unless you paid for the courier fee in which case it will be returned directly to you). This can take a few days and be subject to unforeseen delays so please wait for the visa application centre to advise you when your documents and decision are ready for collection.

Regards,

UKVI Pretoria

International licence, not Naija licence.

And the insurance premium would be significantly more expensive. Best to apply for a provisional licence once you collect your BRP, do a few lessons, the theory test and then the practical test. Since you can already drive, 5-10 lessons should be adequate. The lessons aren’t essential but would be helpful.

You can download the theory test app and start studying for that now if you have some free time.
Well am asking on behalf of someone anyway, who already has a visa to go study , he is saying to book a Theory test now take up to 6 months or more due to the long backlog of people waiting , so he is looking to see if he can change his naija licence to international and then be a second driver to his sister who is based there under her insurance

Yes, you can drive an insured car, with you as a named driver on the insurance for 1 year.
Thank you so much so to understand in order for someone with Nigerian licence you drive in the U.K. for one year , they would need to be added to an insured car as a second person on an insurance. Thank you

Good morning folks,

Please has anyone attempted checking if passport is out in vi?

I mean those of us from 25th to 28th August applicant.

The anxiety is so much
I think someone posted here that he went to pick up his passport and there were lots of passports there so they advised to go to TLS whether you received email or not especially those that submitted the last week of August
