Good evening everyone..
I currently want to apply for a 6months visitor's visa to join my mom's younger brother.

I have just recently finished nysc and the account statement I want to present is that of my dad's elder brother who wants to sponsor my trip.
Please I would like to know what I would need to apply successfully
I woul really appreciate a detailed response and all the help I can get

Just rest small and build stronger ties and maybe some travel history...don't donate your visa fee to the UK govt like that.

Trust me, it's not worth the stress at this time for you

Good morning,

please house does it mean i have an option to opt in for premium package or not, if i chose a ( Regular with available upgrade to Premium) packages?

I wanted to pick Assisted Regular and Self Service but there is no spot this month


In my experience, I have observed that the more services you pay for, the easier your submission process (documents & biometrics only) will be.

Please read what I typed carefully so you do not misinterpret the meaning.

Please I need informed answers to my questions regarding the UK Health and Care Visa (UK HAC):
1. What are the major criteria for getting a UK job offer in order to apply for the HAC Visa while in Nigeria?
2. Also, does having a Nigerian MSc in Public Health boost one's chances of getting a job offer under Allied Health Professionals (ONS 2219), which is also one of the shortage occupations?
3. Can one with a Nigerian BSc in a health-related profession get a UK job offer for Nursing Assistant/Healthcare Assistant (ONS 6141)? Thanks.

I assume this is your pressing question...you may wish to redirect it to a more appropriate thread as this thread is for General UK Visit Visa enquiries. grin

Questions are being ignored so much in this thread! I don ask tire! cry It makes it look as if there are no knowledgeable people to handle questions/inquiries in this thread! embarassed
If it were other threads like Canadian Express Entry, a lot of people would willingly respond to questions.angry Nevertheless, kudos to the few who make out time to respond.

Maybe you are asking a question that has been asked and answered multiple times....

Awesome. Please, educate me on this Day 2, 5 and 5 test.
Will the payment be made during application or before travelling or in UK?
TELL more about TEST TO RELEASE SCHEME. This seems to be a way to achieve my 10 days vacation.


Payments for tests do not have to be made before your application. However, you need to make all payments before you will be accepted for boarding in Lagos.

Day 2 and 8 are compulsory for all who are to quarantine. Day 5 test is optional (more expensive) for those who want to exit quarantine early. You will still need to pay for and take your day 8 test. IT costs more....

Hi Everyone,

Happy Sunday.

Please I need some guidance. My wife and I would like to apply for a UK visa. I will be sponsoring the trip. I have 2 registered businesses, (both businesses are registered as a business name, so I am the sole owner with NO partners). I do NOT pay myself income monthly, and I do get large payments for jobs done. I want to know if this will be a problem. My wife and kids have often visited the UK and also schooled there. Her last visit was in 2018, will this help sway towards visa approval. (This is my first time applying for a UK visa).

How much would suggest as sufficient for a trip for my wife and I.

Also, we currently have an application for Canadian permanent residence which has been delayed due to Covid, should we indicate this. We have our proof of funds also saved for this purpose, but it's just a huge amount saved up in an account. can we use this account or just use my business account.

Lastly, we are both fully vaccinated (Astrazeneca), are the vaccinations taken in Nigeria going to be accepted (especially seeing that Oxford Astrazeneca is one of the approved vaccines in the UK), I read some conflicting information, I'll just want some clarification on that. Are we going to have to quarantine for 10 days?

I'd really appreciate a response on this. Thanks

Just to add that you will need to pay for 2 tests (Day 2 & Day 8 ) in The UK.

Should you wish to exit the 10 day quarantine early, you can take advantage of the Test to Release Scheme and pay for an additional test (more expensive) on Day 5.

If you are negative, you can end your quarantine immediately however, you will still need to do another test on Day 8.

Programming / Software Developer Required To Build Application Prototype by thegreengooner(m): 4:46pm On Mar 25, 2021
I am on the market for an software developer to join a team to build a novel application for Economic and Financial Modelling.

The prototype is expected to simulate a few aspects of, and may be completely different from the final product.

Once fully prototyped, the product may form part of a proposed product pitch for scaling.

The developer(s) will be entitled to either compensation for participation in the prototyping, or inclusion in the final design team depending on the success of the pitch.

As there is a specific criteria to be met for the prototype to be accepted, it will be helpful if you have an existing portfolio that can be examined.

Selection will be based on the quality of the portfolio and not necessarily the number of projects delivered.

Please indicate interest below, or email thegreengooner@gmail.com for further details on this opportunity and to set up an exploratory session.

Compensation will be competitive.

it does! Do you have any other reason why NNLG operation is a success story?

While the majority of Nigeria government-controlled organisations are failures, NNPC can't even operate basic oil refineries.

You misunderstood my point. NNPC is the largest shareholder with 49%. This is without prejudice to the operational structure of NLNG. I just wanted to correct the impression you made that they were minority shareholders.

The other shareholders have different business objectives so consensus is the way decisions are made at board level and not by majority vote.

Shell holds a 25.6% share, together with NNPC (49%), Total (15%) and ENI (10.4%).

If after 60 years of independent all your state enterprises are not working, then there is something wrong. That is simple logic to ignorant and irresponsible people. Quota system destroys meritocracy.

A government without merit is a government that will be corrupt and lawless, what do you think a man that has ascended to the role of director of a government agency through a quota system or poor education would when faced with complex tasks.

The reason why NLNG is profitable is that the Nigeria government is a minority shareholder in the organisation.

Awolowo free education program was a noble effort to provide basic education to all Nigerian in the Western region, but the consequence was that the standard of education deteriorated because the UPN state governments didn't have the funds and management skills to support mass free education programme.

The products of UPN free education programme of the 1980s are now the hopeless government officials that are now involved in all forms of corruption and lawlessness in 2020.

The same can be said of the all-regions in Nigeria when you destroy meritocracy you open the gates to corruption and lawlessness.

common sense should have prevailed, free education model should have operated side by side with the private-owned missionary schools that provided qualitative education.


NNPC is actually the majority shareholder with 49%

Chai, all this plenty money for one visa. I don use brain calculate am, the money go they pursue almost 500k. I guess it's because you werent able to upload your documents your self and was just at their mercy.
What should have been done was to apply for both of you online, submit and even if you need self service, you walk in together, but I guess you needed the visa fast.

What I did during my time was to apply for I and my spouse, uploaded our documents, booked normal free appointment for same day and time and we walked in same time. Our passport still came out same time and visa granted and I spent less than 100k for both of us in all.

Actually it cost a fair bit more than that...I typically always use the Premium Lounge as I don't like spending the whole day moving from seat to seat on a queue. The only unplanned cost was the Flexi Appointment. I only completed the forms a few days to my appointment date hence the regular appointments were unavailable. Total Cost came down to around 600k plus per person including visa fee

I am applying for a new long term visa for my wife and my self and have a quick question.

Is there a separate section to include her application with mine as a joint application as a dependent as the only information requested so far was her passport information?

I remember I was able to do it on the old system but that was in 2014. I included it with my application at the end but I can't remember if it was before or after I paid the fee.

Thank you

As an update, I had to pay for assisted service as that is the only way the VAC could consolidate our applications.

I went in for Biometrics first and documents were scanned. Her documents were then also scanned and her application linked to mine as I was the sponsor. I submitted my Bank Statements in support of her application.

As it's been quite a while since I last applied, I didn't realise that the slots were now hot cakes...we both had to pay for a Flexi Appointment. This was in addition to paying to use the Premium Lounge...we were done by about 9:10am

Submitted applications on Wednesday 5th February with the 8am appointments and received passports back today Tuesday 11th February via courier grin

Okay...


You could not award the local companies but the international ones.
If this current regime promises a self-sufficient economy and are doing this,then it is a clear epitome of illusion .


The contract will be for the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC).

Nigerian companies DO NOT have the competence or capacity to undertake major growth projects like this.

However, there are Nigerian content regulations that will see several Nigerian Companies benefit from the Nigerian content portion of the contract.

NCDMB fully endorsed the bid process which is why they were also present at the signing today.

I really wish people will just come here and at least first agree they haven’t read more than a page or two instead of pretending that they have read much. Their questions keep betraying them, and someone like me will also join them and pretend like I didn’t see their post too. The most that will happen is you will be referred back to the first page or to some previous thread maybe.

When I joined nairaland and the US Visit Visa thread, I took particular interest in even previous posts by Tzetzefly especially, VisaOfficer, AbujaNIV, LagosNIV, then Fastlink, Gbenge77, LadyG and Thegreengooner (these were people whose takes were loaded and captivating at the time and till now) amongst others in spite of limited time, I’m better for it. My first and second question on here had some good space between because I was catching up after work, every night as I lay there on my bed till sleep comes. Was showing stuff to my wife alongside as I saw something new and important to us.

There are some people either sharing or liking posts from even as early as 2016, I wish I knew them sef, I won’t hesitate to answer all of their questions to the best of my ability as time and opportunity avails, they are serious, clearly!

Thanks for the compliment...I still visit the thread frequently but I see it is well manned and loaded
