What's the best way to move Naira from Nigeria to UK banks when relocating? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by RalphJean: 11:51am On Apr 20, 2021 |
tpain22: It depends on How Much Naira you want to move, and what that translates to, in ££. Another question is....to whose account do you want to move it to? Your own UK bank account or a 3rd party? |

Please am worried. I graduated with a third class and I apply to many U.k university which I was rejected. Now the problem is that I was issued by university of derby that I have gotten admission that I would be given admission letter yesterday. I have waited and waited no letter. I want to send them message but my inner man dey tell me to calm down and dont show I am desperate

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 3:19pm On Apr 20, 2021 |
morinto: Lol @ desperate... That a Nigerian thinking Admission is a two way beneficial relationship. You need it but look at it as well they desperately need your money too. .... so if it that then let us be desperate together ![]() It important that you take their advice and do those lessons well so that you don't repeat the 3rd class grade again so ensure that happens I would say both would work. If you want to follow up then do that nicely and politely. If you want to wait for some days then thats fine as well |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by tpain22: 4:21pm On Apr 20, 2021 |
RalphJean: Thanks for your response, I would want to move it into my own account, will have to open an account once I get over there in few weeks, am not familiar with the UK banking system yet.. Also large amount of funds that might translate into at least £10,000 |

starboychan:It has been discussed gazillion times on this thread...get a sim only contract phone (usually less than £10/pm), get a credit builder credit card for like £150 credit limit to use and pay back in full, get on the electoral roll, sign up to credit reference agencies - free ones are credit karma, clearscore and MSE credit club. They all pull info using the original agencies APIs. Good luck! 7 Likes 8 Shares |

Hello all. Trust the day is going well for everyone. Just wanted to share my experience with the UKVCAS. So I applied for Tier2/Skilled worker extension on 20th March using the priority service and following the application, I scheduled a UKVCAS appointment for 16th April in Cardiff for the submission of my supporting documents. I also made an additional payment for document scanning. On the day of my appointment, the caucasian man that attended to me was extremely rude. He did not have knowledge of the current UKVI rules as he told me my application would be refused due to my expired passport. I explained the situation of the Nigerian high commission due to the covid restrictions as well as a cover letter and the fact that the UKVI would not penalize me or anyone especially due to the government-imposed restrictions. He also refused to scan my consent form page saying that it was not part of the document checklist. My pleading fell on deaf ears. Anyways, I received an email yesterday from the UKVI communicating that my application was successful although I started doubting whether it would be considered. So, before going to the UKVCAS appointment, scan all the documents that are not on the document checklist yourself and if you are applying for Tier2/skilled worker visa extension with an expired passport, just include proof of payment of passport renewal fees, a letter from the Nigerian High Commission and a personal cover letter (if you did not put the actual expiry date in the application). Cheers. 9 Likes |

Sim only contact is a SIM card you get on contract from the big Telecomms like Tmobile/EE, three network, O2, Vodafone and the likes. Giffgaff, Lyca, lebara and the likes belong to same whatsapp grp and they do not have any effect on credit score starboychan: 2 Likes |

sgtponzihater1: Driving in Nigeria especially Lagos is so drastically different to driving in the UK, that I really don't think it counts as driving experience. I think you'll find that you need more lessons than you initially thought ![]() |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by sgtponzihater1(m): 10:00am On Apr 22, 2021 |
nihilistjnr: Want to book in block. Would a block of 12 lessons be sufficient |
