Which ID? Naija passport or Brp?

Try starling bank. It's similar

mimilyrics:
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.

What is your location?
You will get their email address for your location on their website and then send a mail to them stating you want to book a TB test and the purpose of the test.
They will respond with your booking details.

Sorry just saw your location.
Email address is iomlagosmedicalbooking@iom.int

If you are in Lagos, you may benefit from physically going to the address to find out what is happening.

My great comrades in Nairaland.. Please, does anyone knows weather Cotonou required covid 19 test before they can board in their country. Because, I am to book ticket on the 2nd of September to fly through Cotonou route. As our government are not reliable. Please I need answer ASAP. If someone that has passed through can give me the road map.. And the challenges he or she experience.

kcfastshooter:

radiga:
Just to update you guys.... Got a call from TLS to come pickup my passport. I collected it yesterday with the replacement vignette valid for 3 months.
Timeline: Submitted Aug 5th in Abuja.

Wish you guys the very best.

lightest:
its not easy o, mine is 11th March. its getting crazier and frustrating.

honeycrown:
, I submitted my family passports(visas) on the 29th of July, 2020 for vignette extension . Till date, I've not gotten any information as to if the Vignettes extension has been granted as today's is the 20th working day(or 28 calender days ). No information yet. It's so worrisome.

OBYNOWEST12:
Hello guys,

I stays in Enugu. Is it possible for me to do my TB test medical and Biometric the same week? If so how can I do it? because traveling from enugu to Lagos just for only medical is waste of transport fare.

idolda:
Two COS can be assigned the same time FROM EXPERIENCE.

OBYNOWEST12:
I want to ask some questions guys.

Someone who has certificate of sponsorship assigned on 1st of August which expires on 2nd of November that's 3months duration b4 it expires.

Is it possible for someone to make use of that CoS to apply for Visa on October 29th, 30th or 31st. Or is the CoS still valid to apply for visa ending of October.


2nd: Questions. Can one assigned two Cos from different employer at the same time. Or can one have another CoS assigned from different employer at d same time before the previous CoS expires. **employer is NHS**.

Hi house

Please who has idea on how the covid test works as I’m looking to travel September 4th immediately airline starts

Terminalbond:
Hello all, i just got a refusal letter via email. The letter had my name but the reasons for denial were strange to me and not related to me. i applied for a visit visa to see my pregnant fiance, but letter stated i applied for private medical treatment, second it said my sponsor is my daughter which is wrong i'm only expecting my first child. the account number in the letter does not belong to and i am not sick in any way. the later stated that i am retired which is completely wrong.
Has anyone experienced this issue before?
i contacted them via a paid email on the UK immigration website and also TLS as i believe there must have been a mixup somewhere.
i went for Biometrics on the 4th of August, in Abuja
i would love opinions on this. thank you all

lightest:
good one bro,

pls when did u apply?

Raisin:
My application is now showing
Transferred to vac

beckycute1:
Good morning,
I did my biometrics on the 13th of March and yet to get any email from TLS. i just tracked my application but its still on transferred to the DMC .
Should i just go to the center or wait to get an email from them.
For those that already collected their passports, did you get an email?
Kindly advise. Thank you
