I heard you can travel with an expired Nigerian passport. I don't know how true this is.

Thank you.

Yes that is possible depending on the airline from the Uk, if you are allowed to board then you have no prob also you need to be holding a valid foreign passport.

Thank you

I replied ur pm,check ur mail

Really? Why?

weyreypey:

You owe me a serious apology mide.

What else do you expect from a dysfunctional government? Some people waited for a year/longer so 5 months is actually nothing compared with what some others have gone through.

OMG!!! Kindly accept my condolences. This is so painful to read. I’m so sorry about your loss. Gosh I’m speechless.

Now this is painful to read..was hoping to get a new passport rather than applying for visa or TC to travel for my mum's burial, i have been monitoring this passport issue since last year as i planned to see her early this year sadly she passed away few days ago. oh well...

It’s honestly so so annoying. We applied for Icelandic passport for my LO about the same time I applied for the Nigerian passport, we got an appointment seamlessly, it cost less than 40 pounds (can’t remember the exact amount) and the passport arrived our doorstep in less than a week.

It’s a herculean task getting a Nigerian passport despite how ridiculously expensive it is compared with other countries. It’s such a shame.

Irenenwaka:


Sorry for the loss…passports are way cheaper than EtC’s. I wonder why nigeria visa/etc cost almost 200 pounds..

Thanks the response. It's really because of the International 'Experience'. For the black box, no way to avoid it as the cheapest insurer I saw is the one offering that option.

I reduced my project annual mileage from 2K miles to 1K miles and my premium has dropped to around £1,500 thereabout.

Is there an advantage of adding another named driver with an international experience aka my wife?

I am impressed by this country Sha and the way they manage data.. Kai!!

Thanks.

wallg123:

Usually I’d advice people not to buy a car straight away but your case is very different as you’ve got family commitments. Your premium is high am suspecting as a result of your international drivers license.
You just have to pick one of the insurance companies you’ve found because all of them would be of similar price. But try avoid that blackbox if you can because your Naija driving style different from UK.

Nanyashaven:
Urgent Guys!

Please is there someone in scotland that can help me get an apartment Aberdeen. Traveling next week and i need to rent an apartment. Please help.

I'm sorry I don't have response to your question. However, I would like to know the kind of flight you booked. What I am seeing online is not favourable

For student visa or any UK visa.. has anyone receive uk visa despite having a US ban (ban was due to overstay)

dustydee:

Euros? I think the person paid £100 minus or so.

I finally read the UK version of that website, that fast track has been suspended and they are encouraging people to apply for ETC if one need the passport urgently. As they are still processing April applicants there is no point even applying now.

As someone who has recently arrived from Nigeria, I would avoid that black box in your position.
It takes one quite a while to overcome the style of driving we've used all our lives in Naija.
Leave the comparison sites and try the insurance companies one by one to find one that will give you insurance without the black box.

Ok, I thought someone posted that here some weeks ago but I wasn't sure. All the best.

With that blackbox and depending on how your driving is, your insurance premium may increase. So for example, if you overspeed, blackbox will take note of it and tell insurer that you are a "risk" and then insurer could then adjust your premium accordingly.

Please who can recommend a good bureau de change with amazing rates. Changing from $$ to ££ . Thanks

Mimzyy:
You have to wait until you get an email confirmation for your appointment which will most likely be next year tbh.(I paid since May and I’m still waiting).

They are currently attending to April applicants.

So the mail to proceed to the office isnt valid?

Add your wife on the insurance so both of you can drive the car without fear of breaking the law. Cuz it will cost you more if madam is tempted to drive the car uninsured and get into trouble with the law. …

Also get in mind that you still have to pass the UK driving test both (theory & practicals) before the expiration of your 1yr international drivers license for you to continue driving. If not you will go back to square 1.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll start shopping one by one then. Any recommendations based on experience ?

Appreciated.

Thanks, I understand it's a kind of mitigating factor for them giving that one does not yet have UK driving experience.

I'll look for how to avoid it then. Any recommendations on insurers will help. Thank you.

Thanks for the advice. Will add and see how it affects the premium.

I won't even wait up to 1 year sef. Once provisional is obtained, it's sharp sharp for all the tests. I understand there is high demand at the moment in even securing instructors to aid with the practical test.

Just take not that if you exceed the 1k they will know and adjust your premium accordingly, + admin charges.

It’s a generic email sent to all applicants after payment confirmation. That’s why there is no specific date on it.

Try Admiral.

Sorry about your mum's demise, please do accept my condolences.

In case of other times, Nigeria still remains the better place to get a renewal all year round. I got mine renewed early this month under 24 hours with no drama.
