released every morning at 9:00 but for dates 28 days after and beyond.. not immediate dates .
So you will need to go into future dates almost 1 month after, that’s how you’ll see the free ones. For a place like London, u need to be fast and check several locations immediately it’s 9
Oh I see was even thinking of immediate dates

Thanks for this

Ralphlauren:
I'm guessing this is a contract job offering a day rates? If yes, then ask for a salary illustration from both the umbrella company and whoever administers the Payee system. Compare the take home pay offered and then make your decision.

Based on my experience, you are better off with the umbrella (although they have their charges called "margins" ) when compared to the take home salary being offered by the payee payroll system.

Most agencies have more than one preferred umbrella company, so I'll suggest you ask for salary illustration from all of them before you decide on who to go with.
Yes it is
Thanks

These days it works out to almost be the same tax wise....so look at what other benefits is the umbrella offering and what is coming with the paye to then decide. I would lean towards more on the PAYE payment that is directly with the employer
Thank you

Hello good morning everyone,

Speak to your employer or GP. If you're looking at a job with the NHS, you'll be scheduled for an appointment (to review your history and give imms as required) with OH so you don't need to sweat it.

You can but it's better for the company to do it for you. Sometimes the DBS letter might get to you after the deadline to register it on the website.

There is a response in the portal by GTB staff saying passport and ticket verified, and another staff quoted visa will be checked upon submission at the branch. I will do that tomorrow morning.
Alright thank you

CBN don't approve, it's the processing bank that approves.

I just got my approval this afternoon and ticket was verified by GTB

Ticket: Qatar Airways
Yes processing bank has approved but the bank staff at the branch said he was unable to validate my ticket,
Thought that before the processing bank can approve the ticket must have been validated

Good day house
Pls has anyone had any issue with flight ticket validation by the bank for PTA purchase esp. Qatar airways?
Spent almost the whole day waiting for my ticket to be validated by the bank even though CBN has approved my request online.

Hello house
Please which bank can give me pounds for PTA
Instead of dollars?
Most bank claim that dollars is what's readily available to them

ThaSlimKidd:
If one amends appointment date for biometrics , do you have to pay for the courier service again by adding to cart if you choose a different date. ?
As the courier service paid is usually linked to the appointment date if I am not mistaken.
You won't have to pay again
Just print the initial appointment having the courier service along with the amended appointment.

Hmmmm... yesterday I booked Turkish airline to Manchester via wakanow and they called me to ask me the visa I’ll be traveling with. I told they study visa and they said they’ll have to refund me my money that people with study visa are not allowed into the UK. Only those who are citizens and residents. I told them students also have residency status and they told me no we don’t that they’ll have to refund me. I then asked if there are other airlines I can use and they said no. I’m waiting for my refund from them now.

Sorry for the plenty questions but Did your friend book directly?
I booked Qatar airways yesterday via Wakanow also, they called me that student are not allowed to enter UK , I told them no that they are allowed but if they insist that they should refund me . After sometimes they sent me my tickets to Heathrow

loptee:
Good morning All. Pls, I need your urgent advice. I had booked for biometrics earlier today because I started counting POF from 6th Nov to 6th December hence the reason for today's date for biometrics appointment. The next transaction date after the deposit of funds was 10th November which I was later advised that I should count from 10th November which will remake the 28days to mature on Wednesday tomorrow. But unfortunately, I cannot get any other closer date. The dates are showing "upgrade to super-priority" which I cannot afford. I also paid for priority. Can I just do walk-in when the POF re-matures? Will the priority option I had earlier paid for still be in place? Thanks for your anticipated response.
Print from 7th Nov. You are good to go
