The second test is how much and where will I do that ? And how much is covid 19 test here ?

The 2nd test is to be done in Nigeria 7days after your arrival. Payment is done online and cost N39,500k.

As for the covid test to be done in the UK, I think it is a factor of where it is done, a family member did her's at Heathrow for 330pounds on Saturday.

Good day full house,
I just arrived London today. Thanks all.

I have a GTB USD with closing balance $520 and it's not going through


This is the response i am getting :
The payment was refused by your card provider
This could be because you do not have sufficient funds, or you entered your card details incorrectly. Please try again.

@wales111

Pls bro how much is the rate for that one and explain more sir. Am I paying in naira or pound? My travelling date is still may 11th.

Good day guys, i want to travel on the 1st of May and return on the 10th or 11th of May.

Will my second covid 19 test on the 8th day be sufficient to bring me back to naija ?

Hope the lockdown will be over by then ?

Depending on where you are, Boots is 120 quid and the results normally come out in 24hrs or less that's my experience. If you are in Scotland XpressTest charges 80quid for travellers.

For the test in Nigeria, I paid 39,500 but it is location dependent.

Hello everyone. I applied for a 2 year visitor visa on 8th February in Abuja and used the "keep my port" service because I needed to be in possession of my port.

After they confirmed that my application had been received on the same day, I did not hear anything from TLS for a month so I decided to UKVI on 9th of March, after which they said that a decision had been made on my visa application and that TLS will get back to me soon.

Another two weeks have now ed since I made the complaint and I still haven't heard anything back from TLS. I went to the visa application Centre to make enquiries and they said I can submit my port now before getting the port request email. I am tempted to do that because I assume that it will speed up the process, but I also need to use my port in about 3 weeks and I am scared that they can hold my port for longer than that even if I submit it before getting the port request email.

Has anyone experienced something like this before? And what do you advise me to do?

Ah please I’m still waiting for a reply

amh10:
Ah please I’m still waiting for a reply

only UKVI can answer ur enquiry.. they determine the timelines for holding and stamping of port and subsequent return to TLS. ukvi

good day house,

I just wanted to know if anyone has and ideas of the kind of job (part time) that an international student in uk can take to pay his or her school fees.

Please guys is a yellow card needed at the airport before departing from nigeria

Wales since ur travel is still may 11th , i will strongly suggest u dont make any test bookings yet.These are unprecedented times . In these times alot can change or new laws can be implemented in just one week, how much more a month. Even flights are very prone to cancellations or alterations in this period. So If i were in your shoes i will start sorting out covid tests about 5-7 days to departure date.

Hello Guys,

Hope you are all doing good?

Am filling out a dependant visa on my 'Tier 2 work visa' for my wife. As an evidence from my bank to show financial for her do I need to just show am paid enough to take care of her while here i.e. payslips and bank statement? or should it be a savings of a substantial amount? Will either of the two be okay?

Your response would be appreciated. Thanks

strong NO!

Call GTB to activate the card.
If you've done that, you should see a separate Mastercard/Visa in your internet banking profile. This is for your card alone and is separate from your USD domiciliary .
Transfer money from your USD domiciliary into that using your internet banking.
If you don't have internet banking, then you will have to go into a branch to do it.
Then use your card.

Good day guys, please! Do anyone know how to go about DOB correction on original Waec certificate. Thanks!
