I doubt that Ooooo I just tried fluttewave now now and see the image below.
The final amount you'll pay is higher than that.

Use Flutterwave! Fund the account naira and setup a dollar card sharply
Flutterwave's exchange rates are above blackmarket rates, so one option for monchat is for your person in Nigeria to open a domiciliary account and buy from the BDCs to fund it unless you are in a hurry and don't want to wait for the bank to produce a dollar card.

Please someone should answer me,please.
Just guidance.
Thank you.
Start completing the form first.
You can save it as you go along.
Any specific places where you have issues, then you can ask here.
If you've previously completed the student visa and partner forms, then you should have no problems with the child dependant form.

Hello house please for those that apply through student visa OR spouse visa, how did you made payment of fees and IHS using Naira. I am finding it difficult to make payments using my ATM card. I want to make payment in Naira. I can not transfer 2.5M for a spouse visa and IHS using my card. Kindly assist OR advise on the easiest way. Note:- It is not possible for my spouse to make payment in the UK due to some circumstances. Thank you.
You cannot use naira cards to make payments above $100 a month.

Please when paying the IHS and VISA fee, is their going to be a payment option in naira? Or we will still go through the stress of finding someone with a pounds card. For someone like me that doesn’t have a domiciliary account and can’t afford aboki rate.
Like can I make payment straight from my gtbank app?
No naira payment options.
You will need an aboki in your life.

Can someone put light to this pls?
If I remember correctly, with a flexi appointment you book a date, but can appear any time within working hours on that date and will be attended to, while walk in means that you can just turn up without any appointment at any time and if they agree to take you, you'll pay 42k and they'll attend to you.

Thankyou .please do you know to go about it .. whether there are an documents to be submitted when going there because I do not live in Lagos I’d have to travel there and I would like to know all documents needed. Please what is the address/ name of office in ikoyi that I would go to. Thankyou
It's done at the Records office in Ikoyi, near the Passport Office.
You don't have to go to Lagos to get it done, go to the police HQ in your state and they should be able to give you contact details or ask around.

Good evening
Please who has done international certificate of good character check and UK DBS here
And how did you go about it?
It’s usually required for people going for masters in social work and some other teaching courses
Please help out!!
Thankyou.
To my knowledge there is no such thing as an international certificate of good character as that presupposes a central international body authorised to issue such documents to anyone anywhere in the world.

A certificate of good character is simply the criminal record check you get from the police in Ikoyi.
A DBS is the UK equivalent of the police certificate you get from Nigeria.

No. 2: Co-Asking ! Anyone?
Saying "cash in hand" generally has the meaning of something being hidden from the authorities, so note that self-employment is not allowed for students no matter the field.

You are allowed to work 20 hours a week legally. How you are paid for that work, by cash or electronically, doesn't matter.

Good evening, this is my first time on this thread (I am not new to nairaland), I just got my unconditional offer from Edinburgh Napier University, is there anyone else going to that university and has gone through the visa stage, I need a few clarifications from someone that has experienced, reading isn't helping enough.
Ask specific questions and you will most likely get specific answers.
All UK universities follow the same process - application, admission, payment of a deposit of varying amounts, CAS, then visa application, hopefully followed by a visa and a flight to the UK, then a meeting with reality.

What part of the process are you not clear about?

Thanks, so do you mean I dont necessarily have to get an accommodation from here before applying for Visa?
No, you don't.
It is understandable that one would want to see potential accommodation in person before paying/committing.

Hmmmm, you're right justwise, verification can happen anytime at the time of entry, I also saw some of these on YouTube videos, mostly visiting visa with high level of skepticism of not having enough fund to sustain themselves, but yet to see student visa refused entry into UK because he has no money in his account. It's possible as you have said not disputing that fact but still amazes me, may God help us in this race. My brother was asked some simple questions in accounting when he was at Heathrow, because he studied Msc corporate finance at Salford. I am still expecting others to share their experience the likely questions being asked or if they had same experience of showing their proof of fund at the point of entry as a student. Please ooo let's learn so I can keep my money intact abeg. It doesn't worth it after all the stress in getting the visa you're then refused because you can't show enough fund at the point of entering the UK I could have transferred or used the money for accommodation, foods and other important things to take along remaining few funds.
Yes, but even if you have transferred it or paid for accommodation, etc., you should have access to the transferred funds and/or the proceeds of the funds, such as the accommodation, yellow garri/palm oil or cash sterling on your person.

GCU seems not to be a popular school here as I hardly see people with update unlike other schools. BTW anyone attending GCU this September and had gone through the Pre CAS data check or anyone got their CAS already for September start? Many thanks
Their responsiveness is quite poor.
Either they are overwhelmed by the numbers they have to deal with or they were always this slow.

So what's the Plan B you can suggest?

Is it possible to secure admission for him in Schools for Special Needs?
Can you afford to pay fees for that in the UK?
That would be a shitload of money.
If you have that money, enroll him in Nigeria.
You will find it difficult to manage a child with special needs in the UK even if you could bring him over.

I think u misunderstood me, I want to reduce/cut off the responsibilities on my dad's shoulder, I want to share the burden, I don't want him to stop work and leave the family helpless, that man have tried abeg
For the future, remember that a parent is responsible for supporting the children they brought into this world, so your father is only doing what is required of him and of anyone else who has produced children.

It's good that you want to help out, just keep asking family and friends for tips and ideas and your zeal will get you something.

You still don’t get it, do you?
It’s not about opening the door, it’s about not giving anyone a reason to knock at your door in the first place.
Applying for an exemption - which is the right and legal thing to do - takes less than 2 minutes. Now, if you do the right thing, no one will show up at your door, and you will have no reason to hide/slam the door/tell them you are not home, like my uncle Lexus grin
This is it in a nutshell.
Well spoken.

I dont remember the details of the discussion between justwise and the Ralph Lauren chap, I usually tune out when matters drag on like they did that time, but I think the chap was bent on proving his point (which I thought and still think correct). However, you've wielded the ban stick on him long enough, let him back in, and let's learn to tolerate all the various beings we've got in here as long as they're making contributions of some help to some people.

I have said the same thing severally.
And that guy’s ‘crime’ was because he disagreed with the mod of this page.
ralphjeans post and link was very helpful. I applied and received a mail in the post 3 days ago, exempting me from paying Tv licence.
The Ralph guy offered sound legal advice. Yet he was banned because the moderator preferred door closing rather than simple legal means to get Tv licence exempt.
And that was enough for a ban.

Someone provided 100% legal panacea for Tv licence, he was banned. And yet we blame Buhari, Lai Mohamed and AGF Malami for banning Twitter in Nigeria.
SMH
Was he banned because of that altercation?
If he was that's hugely unfair. I normally waka pass the dramas here, but as I remember it, his advice in the Tv license thing was sound.

Oga or madam you are part of the problem we talked about recently. "pull down syndrome ". That is why Nigerians cannot collectively rise and be great together. You only been in UK barely 5 mins you are here forming Olokpa of Nairaland.

Aunty Priti Patel quietly signed a deal with India and Britain to agrees to accept more students and talented young immigrants into Uk in exchange for increased deportations ..... imagine this nonsense. Why is India special, most people if they catch you here illegally they deport you straight. Why does Indian have to have this special agreement. You can be sure the first part of taking in thousands will happen and the later part will be radio silence. But its their quiet way of raising their people

Secondly they quietly added occupation chefs in visa categories so that once they graduate and no job. They can quietly package themselves with visa for 5 years as a chef in an Indian restaurant. At least after 5 years it ILR for them that way they get to stay here.

Left right they are quietly putting policies to favour them and their strength will become in their numbers. Sadiq Khan it going to be hard to unseat him even as he doing rubbish here.... because of numbers of voters .

These are few examples...instead what do we have here. Mamatukwas minding her lane, never posted anything illegal apart from making me salivate with her mention of fish, egusi but you are forming officer of Nairaland

Welldone and continue watching .....
My dear, you follow observe that sleight of hand? Give them a few years and Hindi will become an official language in London, while Nigerians continue to compete with ghosts and form themselves to death, then suddenly wake up one morning and realise they have no community to fall back upon.

You can apply either alone or with your children, there's no preferred or better order.
