Yes, just include as living with you on the council site and that’s it. When they are sending the letter to your apartment you will MR A C and Mrs B C.

Thank you for this.

Good Morning All,

Without the intention of derailing the thread, I have a question about council tax especially in Scotland. Are spouse dependent also covered under student exemption? Its a bit confusing

nwauwa:
they don’t pick calls or respond to emails and they can come up with different rules eg this Covid test. I will advise u to do your PCR test. Better to have it than to miss your flight cuz of it

I was able to get someone to go to their office in Lagos. Pre-departure Covid tests not required for fully vaccinated. Thank you.

All these airlines do have one or more offices around Nigeria, why not search for their numbers & call to clarify from them directly.

I have. They aren't picking or replying emails and I don't stay in Lagos, Enugu or Abuja.
That's why I need firsthand experience from someone who has travelled with them recently on this pre-departure test certificate

Good afternoon,

Apologies if this isn't the right forum but I need some clarification.
Has anyone recently travelled to the UK (specifically Scotland) in the last 2weeks with Ethiopian airlines? Was pre-departure negative test certificate required for fully vaccinated travellers?
I have gotten different responses on the issue. Id appreciate help on this. Thanks.

Good evening all.

Please has anyone travelled with Ethiopian airlines after the rule change for fully vaccinated persons not requiring pre-departure negative covid test before travelling to the UK.

I am reading conflicting statements on the requirement for pre-departure covid test prior to flying out. My issue is the fact that there's a stopover at Addis Ababa before connecting back to Heathrow.

My question: Does one need to have a negative pcr test before flying to the UK?
Please kindly assist. Can't get through to customer care by emails or call.

Any help please would be appreciated

Km007:
Yes,

Thanks.
I guess the no pre-departure covid test for fully vaccinated persons is for direct flights then.

Please who has used Ethiopian airlines lately? Do they insist on a pre-departure covid test prior to flying for a fully vaccinated person.
Thank you

Has anyone been able to register on the Trade system website in the past 2 days? Can't seem to go past the verification of BVN.. It just scans and does nothing. Any help?

Hey guys, my last post was 2months ago. it's now 4 months of being here in the UK. And I have made it a point of duty to unlearn, learn, relearn, adapt as fast as possible. of course, I'm still a JJC

Disclaimer: This post is strictly my opinion, thought, and experience so far, which of course will be different from others.

This might be a little long so I apologize in advance

so let get to it.

Well said. I think a lot more people should come out and put out short time experiences like this. So that everyone involved in this "study/Japa visa" route understands what they are getting into. It's one thing to go through all these financial stress to get the visa to "study" , then another to actually get a job within the 2years PSW that is willing to sponsor you beyond the PSW. (Ps: you are required to apply for the PSW for yourself and each of your dependents.. Application is roughly £2k per person).
If that's not enough headache , you'd have to compete in a steadily saturated worksphere to secure jobs(that offer sponsorship) during the PSW. PSW can't be extended past the 2yrs(MSc) or 3yrs(PhD).
It's a lot of uncertainty and a bit worrying/scary personally but like we always say .."It is well". May God come through for each of us as we all thrive for better in the UK and beyond.

mooyewhy:
Somebody should say something on this

£14000 is a lot to pay from working 20hrs a week. Without factoring in rent and other utility bills , council tax, FOOD, clothing etc. then combining that with school stress and it’s own small costs here n there. It’s a lot to be honest and will not advice.
Also necessary to know the school fees payment plan. Some schools require 50% to be paid BEFORE enrolment even after the £1000 deposit. So let them check , check and check again with the school

florixi:
Thanks,its sorted.

How did you resolve it? Did you still pay directly to the airline? Visit their office? Or you went with wakanow, travelagents etc type agents.

This will help folks if this question comes up again.

Hello is anyone awake? Please when filling my husbands visa application as my dépendant when they as him if he has any dépendants what’s Gould the answer be ? Should I put my sons name there ? Or should I leave it as no ? Seeing as they are both my dépendants ?

Put your son name and details. That should suffice.

sweetoma:
Okay thank you. Also for filling for children do I need to download this consent form and fill it or no ? When it asks him “my underage son” if he is receiving funds from a third party “me” should I say yes and then download those third party consent forms ? For ppl who have filled for their kids please explain to me how you did this

Yes to both questions.
Download the consent form , fill and upload with your visa application

As the year winds down, God bless everyone who has contributed in making this thread a success and responding to the endless questions from prospective students and fellow Japa-ikes.
May the New year bring all the Joy and blessings we want. Cheers to 2022!

sadewodu:
Hi guys!

I am working on processing a dependent application, however, they asked a question on the Visa route of the main applicant and I am confused on the response I am supposed to provide.

Please see screen shots below.

Note: the course of study is MSC

Which am I supposed to select from the following:

1. PBS Tier 4 Student
2. Student
3. Student (non point based system)

Please helppppp.
Thank you.

Student.

mummy1964:
For this please, is it compulsoryto change passport name if u have valid one which is not yet expired before ur marriage? How compulsory is this pls? because I heard it isn't compulsory

It's not compulsory especially if you still have most of your documentation in your maiden name. A marriage certificate would suffice for any ties to the partner.

triumphantboi:
Good morning all , please I want an advice for me and my wife , she’s the main applicant while I’m the dependent , she got biometric appointment for 14th January while I the dependent got for 29th of this month please house what do we suggest we do as I wish we both do it same day or she get to do hers before mine .

Kindly share your advice sirs and Ma’s

It’s TLS Ikeja

Go on your date 29th. She'll go in with you and pay 42k for walk-in. That way you both do together on the 29th.

SirWellington:
Good point, but I think everyone have their plans. Some might ply the route you highlighted above, some might leave for Canada or the US from there. But I guess this forum is majorly for those who want to go via the tier four route, as to what to do afterwards vis a vis the cost implications, there's another forum for that.

@ Canada... This is still the dream destination.
Means to an end I presume like you highlighted.
It's all good.
Good luck to everyone on this UK route though.

Just out of sheer curiosity.. as much as we are all eager to leave everything behind and move to the UK, have we all considered that after the MSc, you'd be required to apply for the PGW visa for yourself/family + another IHS surcharge (2yrs for MSc , 3yrs for PhD).?

Also after the PGW period, we are all required to get a sponsor (Employer) to move to a Tier 2 visa as the PGW visa can not be extended unless you're applying again for PhD or the dependent decides to embark on an MSc.

We don't seem to talk about this enough so that everyone is aware of what "Japaing" to the UK is going to entail and cost.

Wilfredon160:
please how do i book directly from klm?..


!. You can book a flight directly from the airline you want to travel with, BA,KLM,Turkish airlines etc

2. you need to do PCR test 48hrs before your flight and show the result at the airport else you will not be allowed to board.

Google pcr test centers in Nigeria for list of govt approved labs
https://nitp.ncdc.gov.ng/testcenters

Also note: If you do decide to go with KLM, I think you'd require a transit visa.. so have that possibility as well on how to get a transit visa

Pacypatty:
Pls for self service biometrics what documents do I upload?
Make una answer me abeg
Cc everyone

As many documents as you want. But minimum should be the documents stated on your checklist + TB Certificate

Emmyk:
Hey bro, I want to ask a question about assisted service please.

Am I to print out all my documents and take them along on the day of my appointment? I currently have them scanned and in pdf format on my phone.

Kindly advice.

Yes you have to. At least all the required documents and any extra you want to add to your application. Kindly note that the assisted service is at a cost too and make sure none of the documents are stapled when going for your appointment

Fourcade:
Is the transfer immediate? Can one log out and log back in to continue the process after paying ihs and visa fee

Not exactly. You'd be asked to click to proceed to the TLS partner site to upload your documents. (that's if you chose self-service during visa appointment date).
Yes you can log out and log back in. You'd be sent a link to continue from your last stop.
