Pls bros...pardon me for too much questions: okay I agree since it will take 3weeks to process and am applying for STUDENT VISITOR VISA which is pretty easy... But my question is this, if I transfer the funds to my account and am NOT working, hope this will not affect my application?

Oops!! Poor me...I didn't even check the "threads name" since all this while. I thought I am on the student visa thread. I'm so sorry!!
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by fiscalcliff: 7:31am On Apr 10, 2013
Morning thread contributors who spit insight by their replies,
1]What is the maximum amount per transaction from a British ATM [In Nigeria its 20-40k depending on the bank]?
What is the total daily transaction I can take from a British ATM [In Nigeria its 150k]?


2]Also how long can a return ticket stay valid for?
Most airline/travel agents websites grey off their calendars after about 6 months and I should be in the UK for about 16 months
Is it worth it, buying a return ticket or should I just settle for one way straight up?

Thanks for the replies
