No you cannot because of the monthly fx limit on the naira debit card. You do not have to add your GTB debit card to your paga account,just fund your page account and when you want to pay for your IHS and visa,select wallet as against card. Do note that you will have to upgrade your paga account to kyc level 3 in order to achieve this payment. Upgrading requires you uploading your NIMC card into your paga account as your means of identification while you share your utility bill with the paga team to complete the process. TLS payment is different, this is where you select your visa type( priority etc) and you will need to pay this fee with a dorm debit card(all other charges on tls are in naira so your naira debit card may be used)

ehiwuogwuu:
House can I pay my NHS and visa fee priority with naira master card , trying to setup my paga app but it won't accept my gtb card ,keeps giving me error message of all sort.
Do I need to buy dollar from Aboki and fund a dollar card to mk these payments.
Also is it advisable to calculate with "Oanda" for these payment.
I am really confused house pls help
Are there any issues using paga ie is it reliable without issues.
I HV written to paga customer care, no response yet.
I need answers pls. I'm too worried right now.

In my case i booked a temporary accommodation via bookings.com and that was what i used for my application for myself and the family. Am.not too sure of what you should do as your husband who is the main applicant has said he will be living on campus on his application. Maybe the house can advise further.....

cutieb:
Hello gurus in the house, please I have an urgent situation that requires clarification.

My hubby is the main applicant and as at the time of his application, I wasn't feeling to well and couldn't help out filling his form. The agent who helped to process the admission (for free) was the one that filled the application. I made IHS and visa payment for him yesterday which I shared here. Although, I went through the application but I had an oversight on a particular info

We intend travelling together which the agent indicated on the form but she filled the school's address on where he will be staying and the other question about if he would be staying somewhere else, she clicked No.
I am about submitting my own and the kids application and I am confused as to what to fill in that segment.

Do I fill the schools address on where we will be staying and also on the other part state that Yes that we will be staying somewhere else?
I am stuck at this point because I need to conclude the application tonight.

Please help out if you've experienced such

Walk in /flexi is any day of your choosing ....so.you can go tomorrow if you want to.

Samgalaxy:
Thank you, Please can I apply today and do walk-in on Friday 8th January 2021?

This might have happened because there might be no more available dates within the month or you may also try later as suggested.However you may select primetime to see if dates are available with this service ....it comes with an extra cost.

Samgalaxy:
Please I am completing my VISA application but I am struck at picking the appointment date, the dates are not clicking up on the TLS site, please assist.

If you choose primetime ,you will pay 37000 and pick an appointment date and time online but for flexi(walk in),you will pay about 42,000 onsite via POS. You can choose prime time as it is cheaper provided the available dates matches with your quest if not then opt for fexi

Samgalaxy:
please how does walk-in biometrics works at VI TLS? are we to pay 37000 at the onsite or we make payment online? Am I to choose primetime appointment

Very true. Finish the process ...you will see it for yourself

Victorex001:


Thanks much

How true is it Paga gives official CBN exchange rate?

Paga...visit the paga website and create an account ,download the paga app via playstore, upload your national identity card after which you can follow the approved steps to upgrade to KYC level 3 for your utility /address verification.This upgrade steps have been highlighted on page 32 of this discuss.

Victorex001:
Pls house....What payment platform is best for me to pay for my IHS and Visa.

Just got my account statement today and reference letter.

Pls house help a Brother...The exchange rate from these agencies is not smiling.

Thanks

For IHS and Visa fees on the UK govt website,use paga wallet and not paga verve. for the tls website, you will require a dorm card if you are paying for priority or super priority visas while for other tls services you can pay in naira using your naira debit card

codichinma:

For IHS I had to get someone there to pay because paga verve has restrictions of $620 or so for a single payment so you either have to use Dom account, someone there or create a paga account which I don’t know how long it will take.
I used paga verve to pay for visa.

Yes as far as i know you cant use your naira debit card because of the monthly fx limit that has been set by banks. There might be other suggestions from the house though......

2tolu:
Hello house, I will like to confirm if it’s only dorm card that can be use to pay for priority service

Pay for your priority or super priority visa online using the self upload option with your dorm card if the assisted option is not working. You can select primetime appointment as a service as that will.give you an early date for your biometrics. Then you proceed to pay online ( dorm card for your visa category) (naira debit card for other services)

awumen:
thanks.
Ok,the dorm card will be used at tls center?

No.you cant because it is above your monthly card limit.So a dorm card will be used for that but for other services such as flexi etc,you can use your naira debit card.

awumen:

Can one also use naira debit card to pay for super priority? Or it has to be forex card only?

Yes you can pay for assisted service when you get there using your naira debit card

EmeraldMars:
Abeg Help oooo!!!!!!


I want to select assisted service for V.I TLS, but the payment isn't going through.

Can i select self service then pay for assisted service when i get there for the biometrics?

I tried paying with 2 mastercards, one visa card and a dollar card



Below are the errors I'm getting.

this is the process as you will have to complete your dependants application separately.i saw the same thing too when i was doing mine.Don't worry just proceed. As regards Paga you can select wallet to pay so you don't need to link a debit card

Greenville990:
Good morning,

I am currently trying to pay for IHS and Visa application fee. I have some queries

1. I had filled in the information of my dependents on both the IHS link and in my visa application but on the summary page, it is stating "you do not have dependents" and it's processing amount due to only myself


2. I own and have funded a KYC 3 Paga account. Do I really need a card linked to the account before payment can be enabled. A friend is insisting this is the only way.


Thanks as you help a brother out

Go to UK Govt website, there is a link there ...i think under the student visa page that you can use to determine your total Ihs bill for you and your dependants.it will ask you a few questions and then automatically calculate your cost.

awumen:
@sandradee, mimilyrics and just wise, when kids are below 18 years,how do you calculate their IHS? Is it along with other applicants above 18?
Secondly should the main applicant calculate separately from other dependants?
Please I need explanation.
Sandradee,how did you calculate for your kids,since you already got visas

Merry Christmas House. I have completed my priority visa application on Tls and the date of my appointment is 12th of jan which is too far. Can i opt for flexi where i can walk in and pay for the service by next week ? Kindly advise

This is the exact error that i am getting.Please am i suppose to open another paga account? I have spoken to the paga team about this and they said they will resolve the issue.Please advise.

shubraba:


Check if you can transfer from the paga acct.
If you get an error message limit exceeded, use another paga acct

Oh ok. So how will i know when they are done or i should just keep trying every hour? Please confirm .

legendarycrypto:



The site is undergoing maintainance

Good morning,i have been having a challenge with lying my IHS bill as the error is that they are experiencing technical problems.Please how do I resolve this?

Please confirm that what you mean is that the regular naira debit card can be used for the TLS payment

NomzyJust:


TLS is card payment.

Thanks for this update as i just upgraded my paga account to level 3. Please confirm the mode of payment for TLS services (courier etc)

NomzyJust:


No.

Paga is limited to IHS and Visa.

Please what is the paga rate like and explain the turn around time .

whitley:
Use paga unless you in a hurry

N650 for pounds, N507 for dollars

Mindlog:


What is the black market rate?

Please i need advice on the best method to make payment for the IHS for me and my dependants.I went to my bank and they said if i open a dorm account,i can fund it with money from the black market and then use my dorm debit card for payment but the exchange rate is so high from aboki.please advise as i have also visited the paga site based on previous comments on this forum but i don't know how to go about that.

2 kids .Please what reasons can we give as the main reason why he is staying back is to provide financial support

LagosismyHome:


How many kids?.... you usually need a very strong compelling reason

Please can i travel for postgraduate studies to the UK with the kids but without my spouse as he intends staying back to assist with financial support.Please confirm if this is possible with a letter of consent or affidavit of consent.

Please how can one get an appointment for the TB test in Lagos? I have sent them an email but no response and the three numbers on the website are unreachable.Please assist

Everything that he has said is true.there are Universities in Austria that will give you admission pending your legalisation of documents.e.g University of Klagenfurt ,all they will ask for are notarized photocopies of your credentials which a lawyer can do here easily.some other universities will ask for your originals but that might be after they have given you the comfort of a pre-assessment.As he has advised,just follow the steps adviced by the school and upon admission also follow the steps advised by the embassy.

Hello, i also have admission to University of Minho .For my enrollment,the school has asked that i provide tax identity document and anti tetanus vaccine document.
