You don’t need a visa as a Nigerian port holder, just buy a return ticket and hold your valid brp or uk visa along if you’re returning to the uk. At the airport when boarding you just need to show your return ticket and the date you’re leaving the carribean islands (most important).

Jamaica isn’t visa free

You definitely need a Visa to visit Jamaica as a Nigerian port holder.

Good afternoon.
Pls, where is better between Scotland vs Portsmouth for someone that has COS? Pls, help.

Thank you.

Can you be more specific ?

You can’t compare a whole country with a city in England.

mayowa94:
What might happen if I don't change ASAP? What if I change after 2months?

Your insurance becomes invalid after ing your practical test.

You risk having a run in with the police ( points + fine ) and vehicle seizure.

Please change it asap

mayowa94:
£90 per month

I doubt you can get it cheaper than what you’re offered.

I’ll suggest you take it.

Insurance rates are crazy right now.

mayowa94:
Good afternoon, Kindly advise on the best way to reduce cost while changing from provisional licence to full licence with insurance company. As it stands I might be paying extra £70 if I change it.

How much are you paying currently ?

holyboss:
Hello everyone,

I am currently residing in the UK and find myself in a bit of a predicament. My port has recently expired and the earliest appointment I could secure for its renewal is scheduled after the expiration date of my current visa.

This situation has left me quite concerned and I am seeking advice on a specific matter: Is it possible to apply for a graduate visa in the UK with an expired port?

I am not exactly able to interpret the message on the page attached: I consider an expired port to be a means of identity still. It might just not be a tenable travel document at the port of entry.

Any guidance or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

You “may” apply with your expired port.

Write a cover letter explaining your predicament.

proof of “booked appointment” for renewal.

The case worker may consider your application.

Lmao, imagine. This is actually sad that you aren't all being helpful, I need to get a Ghanaian forum, as they're more reliable and helpful. Mind you, Anything below Band 5 doesn't qualify for sponsorship jokes on you. I'm a specialist nurse coming in to NHS with a band you won't be able to get in 5 years.

Itchy feet can’t wait to leave Nigeria.

You’ll be fine.

Please my people. Any help with this?

Have you checked / asked your local Facebook page ?

Good morning elders.

Please help o! My letting agency has requested for my right to rent but the prompt I kept getting from the right to rent page is “ The details entered don't match our records”. I switched visas mid last year so I got a new BRP.

Please has anyone had this issue before?

Try your old BRP number.

Rent(ing) is dead money.

elengine:


How did you get this good score in your 5th months in UK. And you also have credit cards. How did you guys do it when I couldn't access credit card until 12 months

Your credit score is “insignificant”

What matters is your credit history.

lavida001:


After 5 years of being a healthcare worker right?

Dey play

One year outside cyber-security and you’ll prolly need 2 year worth of study to catch up with the latest trends.

heroshark:


You are turning this into a personal attack, which is very bad.
I came into the UK last year, so I am even part of the new cohort and wave of immigrant that I'm referring to. I am not even successful yet talk more of not wanting others to succeed.

You raised a salient point and sensible argument.

You shouldn’t engage that fellow as he/she is yet to contribute any meaningful counter argument or suggestion asides from personal attacks.

The UK route is a low hanging fruit that is very easy to manipulate(especially by travel agents) compared to Canada/Australia/NZ route.

I am with you on this. It is totally unnecessary

It’s not “unnecessary”.

It’s an adjective.

To describe the ethnicity of the individual.

To give more context and reason why the lawsuit is being filed.

The heading is in order.




In order to think, you need to risk being offensive.

rayralph, Zahra29 et al...

Different answer versions to a simple question without any reference is totally misleading.

Please let's always attach reference(s) to an assertion. Yes, I know a simple google search or research could have helped the op who originally asked the question and also remove any ambiguity to the responses received.

I understand your point.

I’m speaking based on experience and conversation with school ission team.

The individual that said it’s a lie is free to believe anything he/she wants.

If you’re in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and you’ve spent >3 years, speak to the school ission team before paying international fees.

Not all information are available freely on the internet unless you ask the stakeholders involved.

UniqueDext:
Please what's that agency that I can report my landlord to please..
My landlord just came to my house and remove my room door because am owning her rent which I told her she will receive within 3 days time. Now my room does not have any door and it wild open.
Rent was due on 15th & on same date she came in & change the outside door key that give access to our flat thus locking me out of the house and just today 17th she came again to remove my room door..

Please I want to know if there is any way I can sue her or claim damages before this woman is very wicked and does anything she wants,thinking that there's nothing I can do because am new to UK.
I have been in this house for over a year and I pay all my rent in full & on time but this one I ask her to give me sometime which was because my new roommate have not been paid yet from he's work & I don't have full money to pay for the new house rent as the rent was increased because we are two.

PLEASE HOUSE I NEED YOUR HELP.
SHES STILL HOLDING MY INITIAL £700 DEPOSIT

Before you take any step,

Did you rent the flat legally ?

Do you have signed tenancy agreement ?

Did you inform the LL before taking in a room mate ?

Kindly ensure you’ve followed all due process prior before renting the apartment, so you don’t burn your hands

Kunleop:
When are you allow stay legally skilled work visa before you can qualify to pay home school fees status.

Depending on your location and years spent in the UK

Speak to the ission/international team

Zahra29:


You need to have settled status or ILR to qualify for home fees

Not necessarily.

Some schools in Scotland will let you pay home fees if you’ve been resident for at least 3years.

Especially if you’re on tier 2 and your spouse or children applies to study.

I know someone on 4th year Tier 2 whose spouse applied to study nursing and currently paying home fees.

mex551:
HMRC DONT SPONSOR VISA. I can tell you that 100% even though they have the licence. I don’t know about DWP

Funny how you’ll just jump on a post denying someone else lived experience.

HMRC definitely sponsors visa provided your role is on shortage list”

I’m saying this with evidence.

PalestianIsrael:


Wow! Interesting. So because I reached out to you as per your gracious offer to unmask yourself based on personal experience and I replied with my feelings (or my own truth) and even told we’re seeking professional counselling and you ghosted me afterwards means I’m not ready to listen to good advice (or validating my own thoughts).

Sorry Sir, that someone who’s 50% of a union dare voice out his fear and trepidation.
1. Created an anonymous
2. I took advice on physical separation to avoid a repeat.
3. Opened up regarding my fears
4. Listened to your personal and experience

But God forbid that me that saw my eyes flash before my eyes should open up and tell you what doesn’t align with your personal view. You kept on pushing that I’m not a saint and madam is not all bad, even though I owed up to the causing emotional pain. You don’t know if I have ADHD or any condition which prevents me from fulfilling the emotional needs etc.

But because I must accept your advice hook line and sinker, even at the risk of OUR personal safety and long term viability, I’m thus “interested in validating my own thoughts”.

Well done sir.

PS - thanks all for your comments/suggestions. We will seek professional help (from a distance) and follow the process. May God help all of us.

It is well with you and your family.

Nothing to say anymore.

I wish you all the best bro !

Hopefully, all issues get resolved amicably.

bigtt76:
Una nor de fok? Funny as it may sound, but it is the truth. I don't know the cause of your quarrels though but I think if she say she doesn't like you ignoring her during such quarrels ...try to be the bigger person and don't ignore her. Never leave the house in anger or sleep over a quarrel. Sometimes just a hug and some knacks would resolve the whole issue. Also try to initiate moves to see the gynecologist if conceiving is an issue ...this is one of the causes of tension in newly weds. God bless your marriage.

Updated..
Before I forget ...you guys should sign up to go see a professional marriage counsellor that is if you try playing the bigger person to resolve the issue doesn't work out. Think of what she loves best, order it and get it delivered to her at work or at home. Ladies love surprises. Try to knack too ...inside kitchen or where she least expect in the house ooo

The guy is not ready to listen to good advice or possible resolution.

He more interested in validating the thoughts in his mind.

RalphJean:



Then later in the night, you want to turn her into a construction site, for ‘construction work’.

Because she is the wife, who is expected to be loyal, she succumbs. You get up, go on top. Your entire 70+Kg on her. You construct your construction. Discharge akamu. Snore off to sleep.

Hi Elders,

Had to create a new to hide my identity.

Need urgent advice. Domestic Violence.


I’m really confused. Please help!!!

She’s probably feeling lonely in a strange country.

She’s all you have and most likely venting all on you.

Invest more time in ing your wife emotionally.

Take time off from work, Travel together.

Christian or Muslim ? , seek counseling and pray together.

Don’t involve the Police yet


Why not start all over again with your wife, just like old times when you first met her.

Mornings Guys,

Please this might sound like a silly question

Kindly what can some that studied Master's in Public Health here apply for under NHS, roles named or with names like public health are not so common. I know it's all dependent on the individual also, however with all of the things I have read here, it won't be nice for one to limit one's self to Care jobs alone. I understand experience in it (social care/HCA) might/should count as a valid experience also.

Suggestions will be highly appreciated also sponsorship too is key.

Health improvement practitioner/officer

Public health project officer.

Project manager.

E.T.C


There’s nothing like “silly question” only silly responses.
