TheGuyFromHR: This. However if you’re willing to commute even 30 minutes there are plenty affordable towns around Glasgow you can get accommodation in and should be slightly cheaper generally than living in the Centre. CC: @ybahrbz91 |

giselle237: You are talking about something different here, if you got nobody to live with in USA how much will it cost you to live in a hotel in USA for two weeks compare £2000+ for 10days. Come to think about it, you also need to apply for US visa to be able to travel there to isolate for 2wks. 2 Likes |

Good evening everyone, We just got the Student Visa, will like to find if we can travel through Dubai to get to UK in order to avoid the hotel quarantine. Kindly advise |

Teedagz26: How long are you going to stay in Dubai before heading to the UK? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by AKALAMAGBO: 7:14pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
Well, I have been in Dubai since 8th of this month and my flight ✈️ to Birmingham is 21st, which numerically means I have stayed in a Green List country for more than 10 days and that’s what I will be filling inside the passengers locator form… When I was booking my flight at emirates airline office here, their agent only asked how many days would it have amounted to between the days I got here and the day I plan to travel, the answer was 13 days and his response was; you are good to go, but you have to ensure your Covid-19 test is negative in the last 24 hours and you must remember to fill a passenger locators form… Well let’s see how this play out. 13 Likes 1 Share |

AKALAMAGBO: That is it, isolation in the UK is 10days but you have done 13days and with negative PCR you are good to go. Your case is different 1 Like |

justwise:So invariably it means that someone can stay in a green list country for more than 10 days and be allowed to enter. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by justwise(m): 7:56pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
careerwoman: Yes that is the whole idea of 10days isolation rule, just do PCR test 48/24hrs before boarding and complete the locator form |

I’m on a resident visa though, to avoid any ambiguity, I will advice you put a call through to UKVI number and ask if visitors visa holders are allowed to travel from a Green list countries after spending more than 10 days… Please make findings with them careerwoman: 1 Like |

justwise:10 days. Justwise you are sounding more concerned about the feasibility (cost and visa availability) rather than the actual possibility. Personally I always have multiple valid visas in my passport. I would rather add some money to that 2k pounds and take a short holiday in Turkey, Dubai or visit family in the USA or Canada or elsewere rather than dash the hime office and be stuck in a room in a holiday inn eating crap thrice daily. 8 Likes |

mizGene: ..and how about those who have family only in the UK or student with visa already? If this is the case of holiday then i wouldn't encourage my enemy to come to the UK now as there are loads of countries to visit. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by AKALAMAGBO: 9:01pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
Not everyone has that opportunity of your choices. I guess justwise was concerned about the majority and not the minority. mizGene: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Teedagz26: 9:11pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
justwise: 11 days |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by mizGene(f): 9:40pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
AKALAMAGBO: That is besides the point. The question is whether it is possible or not, and not if people can afford it or not. Also 2.3k pounds can get a student an affordable transit holiday/adventure in a greenlist destination including Dubai. Even Ghana sef dey greenlist, Kenya is there and a host of other affordable countries. 5 Likes |

justwise:The holiday is a forced one if you get me. I'm just saying better to visit a new country, see and experience something new with that 2.3k pounds than pay to the home office to quarantine in UK Only issue is if the country you decide to visit gets redlisted while you are ther |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by justwise(m): 10:08pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
Teedagz26: ...and with negative PCR test you will be fine |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by AKALAMAGBO: 10:39pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
It is possible. This self-enforced 2.3K by the UK government was what actually brought the idea of people staying in green list countries for certain days to avoid that money coupled with the quality of service being rendered by the facilities in the UK. I already booked a ticket in Nigeria with wakanow around November 20th before this Omicron of a thing and the banning of Nigeria by the UK, I called wakanow for a reroute from Dubai to UK and they told me they can’t reroute it. I had no choice but to ask for a refund. I requested a refund and those slowpoke said the value of my refund is 153,000 naira from a whopping 288,000 naira It’s been over 4 days now, I still haven’t gotten the said 153K mizGene: 1 Like |
