Good Morning House,
I am here on a study visa with my spouse as dependant.
How can one get accomodation for a couple in Kingston upon Hull?
We are looking for a studio flat and most of them are either not accepting couples or fully booked on viewings.
6months upfront rent within reasonable budget is not an issue, but my naija blood needs to see what I am paying for.
Any contacts or tips on how to go about this is well appreciated.
T for Thanks.

Good day All,
Please house I am planning to book flight to Middleborough (Teesside international airport)..I want to use either Air France or KLM royal Dutch Airlines...please has anyone use them of resent and how smooth was the trip and hope they are in amber list...thank in anticipation

The transit visa is for only 1stop in the schengen area. While the shortstay visa is for more than 1 stop. Please confirm that your flight is just one stop before you go ahead.

Applied on the France website. Made payment for appointment - about 20k per person

Went for biometrics and paid for the visa - about 40k per person

Visa / Passport was returned in 3 days.

Documents needed.
France Visa application.
VFS appointment confirmation.
Passport.
Passport photographs with white background
Bank statement for 1month.
Make copies before you go or inside the venue....those outside are pricey.

Did they ask for accommodation or where you will be isolating?

Yes. Forgot that bit.
I landed in an airport far from my school but close to where I will be isolating

So she asked why i came through there, I told her its the closest to place X where I would be isolating.

Does it mean that the day of application is actually the day of biometrics and not the day of online form submission?

Well, going by their timeline, i got my visa in 15workdays after my biometrics.

I got a mail on the day of biometrics saying my application had been transferred to ukvi.

So guys i feel you can avoid paying for walk in by starting your application early.

This is what I mean. Starting the visa application say 2 weeks before your POF matures .
Pay for IHS and Visa fee then select biometrics appointment date which will be 2weeks ahead.

In 2 weeks time when your statement matures. Print the statement and upload all documents

Then go for your normal appointment.

I'm not so sure how long the application is valid after creating the account but I think you will have about 2 weeks to complete that. So it should work.

By the way, You are free to criticize this. Let me hear what you think

You are absolutely correct. No visa application is complete until it has been transferred to UKVI.
No transfer until you have done biometrics.
To do your Biometrics, you need to have uploaded your documents.
Completing the questionnaire on the gov.uk website is just a part of the process.....

I had to reprint my POF a day before my biometrics and I have my VISA....the date I got for standard after completing my application was more than 31days after paying my VISA fees thus rendering my intial statement useless.

Good morning gurus in the house
I am filling my visa form and i am going with my husband
Confused questions
1. Do you have where you will stay in the UK?
yes or no
what should i answer because i have not gotten accommodation yet and if i say yes, hope they will not ask for receipt

2. Where do you plan to stay in the UK and i should provide enough detail

can i simply say i will stay in the university accommodation in a self apartment. is that detailed enough. thanks

please justwise and people that have been given visa what did you write because i don't want any wrong answer to delay my visa

Book an air BnB with free cancellation in your Hubby's name. I used booking.com

In your application, put only the school's address (not a hostel name) as where you will be staying.
And add the air BnB as the other place you will be staying.

On your Hubby's application, put only the air BnB as where he will be staying.

Attach the booking receipt or invoice to both applications.

REASON - School accomodations are single, they do not allow spouses or dependants.

Thats how I did mine and we both got our VISAs

Can domiciliary account be used as POF for UK student visa application?
Someone told me it can't be used. Please I need a response from someone that is certain.

It can be. I used mine along with my Naira account to achieve my POF. As long as it is in your name / Parents name.

Please is Ethiopian airline a good airline to travel to UK

Last I checked, Ethiopia is on the red list and all these carriers must stop in their country before proceeding to their final destination.

If you are going on a student visa, do not use them.

Thanks for ur response. But how can it be normal? They wrote ‘work restricted’ in my wife’s dependant visa. I taught is suppose to be unrestricted work so she can work without restrictions. Pls I need clarification from anyone Thank u.

Please state the complete quote.....there are certain jobs that a dependant cannot do and that is what is stated there.....not number of hours like the main applicant
