On getting to IOM for test, what information do we provide, anything to note?

How much does the scholarship pay for living expenses monthly?

With this new CBN move, will banks issue dollars for visa and ihs fee?

Thanks. Is the payment at the centre POS?

Melahou:
The payment allowed at the center are
1 payment for walk in
2. Payment for sms notification for your passport
3. DHL etc.

Payment for Visa, IHS, use of TLS VI center are made online

The payments made at the tls centres, are they cash payments?

Dumebi213:
Uhm, just thinking about that 55GBP
Someone I spoke to recently said he had to go a day before to write his name down, I plan to go on Monday though

Keep us updated the outcome

Melahou:
It's not getting messy...I was there today and they were in order... Just come on time and write your name for walk in
If you are on appointment then it's a smooth sail for you.

Like what time is late?

Please share your VI TLS experiences

Olawale1993:
If you plan to use the walking-in service at Ikeja TLS please you can kindly do that but you just have to go there very early. Just left there now. Thanks

Sure someone will not use VI centre like this. This Ikeja stories are becoming scary

Tolvin:
Very true oh. I had to lodge in a hotel close to the VAC and I got there today at 2:30am (yes I did).I started the list for walk-in today and I am still there.

Really? Wow.....what could be reason why you are still there

Appointment or walk in? For TLS, and which office, ikeja or VI

Tls Ikeja or Tls VI. Please share your walk in experiences.

With flexi, can I choose closer dates online?

Babababy:
This is literally rush hour and i believe ukvi are actually overwhelmed with applications. Priority would get you a closer date than standard would get you. That being said, if you book priority and still not ok with the date you can do a walk in which would cost you an extra 42k.
Priority is a ukvi service, while walk in is a tls service.
In context, if Mr A books priority and Mr B books standard and they both do walk in and pay the 42k on same day, Mr A would get his decision before Mr B because ukvi would attend to Mr A before Mr B.

Flexi is same as walk in, only difference is that you pay for flexi online while you pay for walk in same day you walk in and both cost same 42k. If a family wants to get same date, it’s easier if they all book flexi and they can all go same day or do walk in and still go same day.

So if the primary applicant books priority and dependanta book standard and they want to do their biometrics same day, they primary can pick a date he gets online and pay for flexi online for dependants and they can all go same day. alternatively they can still go same day and pay for walk in.

It’s getting really tight now, someone paid for super priority on 23rd, and only got pickup message today the 28th. They currently have more applications than they can handle at the moment.

look at it this way, if 100 applicants apply and 20 pay priority, they can easily sort that out but when you are now having 80 out of the 100 pay priority then it’s like they have to handle all applications same .

Current or savings account for domiciliary, which is better to open

Ojasope1:
I booked for a Friday BA for 299,999 for student and 378,000 for dependant through aeroland.

How were you able to book as a student. Link pls

My address is no 5 soji Street, but my bank statement is showing no 5/6 soji street. Hope no problem

Where did you get student loan boss

Tolvin:
Thank you very much.
I merged my student loan letter and my bank statement as a single document under the financial evidence section. Is that okay?

Dom account and the card have separate accounts?

Melahou:
With GTB you are good to go
Just go over the counter and make a deposit from your Dom account to your Dom card or you can even do it via internet banking if you can see all accounts on your profile.

japhethGold:
Hello Good People,

Please what is the right time to walk into TLS office in Victoria Island to pay walkin fee to submit biometric and scan documents?

I will be going there tomorrow-Tuesday. I have applied for priority Visa and I hope they will attend to me quickly?

Please can someone advise me on the best time to go tomorrow.

Vecharry:
What is the correct pick here? Does Nysc count as government?

Two conflicting answers so far. Guys please clarify

What is the correct pick here? Does Nysc count as government?

Can I apply for visa and submit without uploading any documents on the ukvi site? Is documents upload only done via tls

Did u submit any employment letter

Bank statements must be minimum of how many months?

Josh121:
Stop this kind of advice , they will be cancelling the whole visa application. If their visa fee was not paid by them or they used third party payment platform it become and issue getting refunds. I know of someone who did this till today she as not gotten refund she used Paga

Using paga cheaper? In terms of rate?
