How do you want to open a revolut from Nigeria?

I thought I can open a revolut from Nigeria since I have a lebara sim and a UK address. Abi e no possible?

Trex12:
Hi guys, if I open a revolut bank in Nigeria and I fund it before traveling to the UK. Can I use the virtual card to pay for train or bus at the airport and do transfers in UK? And is there a way I can withdraw the pounds without having the physical card?. Pounds rate at the airport is scary.

Abeg make una help me reason the matter to help me plan better

Hello house, my question is to those on this thread that have gone through all the process. I did my biometric on the 23rd of August. Since it's assisted service my employer is the one that paid for everything and updating me. Got a mail from my employer on the 4th of this month September with an attachment they received from UKVI that say congratulations my application has been successfully for a 5 years visa for starting from September 1st of this month. The problem is now today is 13th and I'm yet to receive any further communication from UKVI to pick up my port with the vignette. Those who have idea should please let me know if it takes this long for pickup after letter of approval.

It is normal. Many people have similar experience. They recieve successful decision letter before their application moves from DMC to VAC. The letter just informs you that a positive decision has been made on your application. However you still have to wait the normal duration for your application to move to VAC and to recieve collection mail. Some get the letter attached to their visa or as a mail before or after movement to VAC. No worries

Please I once worked in government organization and the job I did was not related to health care. Meanwhile I didn't see any other place where they made provision for me to put my job history on health in the visa application form. In this scenario what can I do to reflect that I have working experience in healthcare or is there no need for it?

No need to proof anything about your job experience to UKVI. Your Cos is already a proof that you are qualified for the job.

Ibkpeace01:


Pls kindly list the documents you submitted.
Pls don't ask me to check previous post, I've tried during that It doesn't work
Thanks

Ok... the visa officer can look at it right front of his screen that why I was just curious why this would even be considered to be ed.... same with COS... Cos is an electronic document that the visa officer can see on their screen

I guess it doesn't cause any harm even if it might not be necessary

I didn't Cos or visa application form and I got my visa in about two weeks. Standard. The COS number and employer license number are very important. The GWF number is specific to the application form, hence the application form isn't needed.

However, no harm in submitting those documents if it will make the mind at rest

Chefyemc:
Morning everyone, kindly help....is it possible to get BRP decision letter before picking up port

Many people get BRP Letter even before their application is transferred to VAC.

They won’t tell you this, but most care jobs are usually gotten through runs. You have to know someone usually in the Uk and pay for it.

Keep applying, you may get lucky

This is not true. you can get care jobs without knowing anyone in the UK. apply rightly.

Just say "I intend to lodge in a hotel, and after settling down I arrange for house rent" it's not a big deal, that was my response and I got the visa. Since your employer did not tick maintenance (i.e employer not providing accommodation), in my opinion, the office address is not the best. Always be consistent with your application.

Go with this advice. You are not going to be staying at your work address. Best leave it open as you will be temporarily staying at a Airbnb till you get a permanent place.

ukay2:


Do everything possible to keep it secrete until your visa is out.....know that walls get ear...

....all the best...

Sure

gistbite:

Your partner can submit your port on your behalf.

Yea but unfortunately the port will not be with available for return to TLS when requested. I would be using it for the European travel. Both will clash

5gee:

Is your employer that bad? No notice period? I think the option suggested earlier would have been better for you especially if your trip won't last more than a week or two. There is no guarantee that they will request your port almost immediately and even if they do, you can send it to them when you return.

.

Thanks for your reply. i am secretive about it because i dont want the whole company aware of my impending travel when i never even get Visa. as per returning the port when i return from the trip. my delay may affect my dependents visa since we are all applying together. it is a 5days trip.

Lexusgs430:



Let this tabby cat out of the bag ........ Your secret would no longer be a secret, when you eventually japasynthesis........

I hope to tell them when i get to the UK. besides i never get my Visa yet. waiting for biometrics

Hello guys. my trip to Europe by my company will will definitely coincide with my UK Visa application. i was advised to do keep my port at TLS but when i may be asked to return the port may be when i am to leave for Europe. The two dates are clashing. . gave a good story and my boss said the trip can be postponed by a week which will still not work for me. How do i politely tell my boss to exempt me from the trip without raising eyebrows. my UK japasynthesis is a secret from the company.

Pounds: 730

Slightly negotiable too.

Please guys be careful especially if the price is too cheap. Pounds as of today is 835 to 1 naira

TLS offers the option of keeping your port while you wait for a visa decision. Check the TLS website in the Added Value Services section. It comes at a fee of £58.65. So go enjoy your trip to Barcelona and stop lying Lol

Thanks

giselle237:
