You can only withdraw to UK bank using bank transfer if your binance is created in the UK, for withdrawal to visa bank card, it's now 1.8%.

So if your binance wasn't created in the UK, you can't use this function?

What kind of travel insurance do you currently hold?
Depending on the website you got your travel insurance.
You usually would have your insurance cover Europe travels and the policy is valid for the number of days you wish to stay at your final destination.

I currently don’t have any but not sure if I need to get one for a journey from Lagos-Glasgow via KLM flight transiting through Amsterdam. Thanks

not all places.
Places that will need PCC will be majorly for holders of work visas working with vulnerable people eg medical jobs etc. and this PCC will be among the requirements of work visa applications.

It is not. It is dependent on hours worked and how long you have worked.

Hi Mimilyrics, can working 3months + qualify?

eweleeeee. You even added precisely smiley
This is in the hands of UK immigration.
grin I added precisely because I know it is within 6-12weeks but someone got it pretty earlier than that. That was why I added precisely maybe 6-12weeks is just formality.

I have looked for warehouse jobs, not been lucky. Even customer care work, they reject because of my visa status. I am fast losing it, there is so much my brain can take as a woman. Does anyone know how else I can get a job, I stay in Bradford, so anything around Leeds is fine. I can even work in Manchester if the pay is okay. Please help.
One thing I have found helpful is to narrow down your search on Indeed to your location and type in immediate start job ( especially if you require one ASAP) then tailor your CV accordingly. You will definitely find something, at least to start with until something better comes along.

A lifetime's too long, unless you have lots of property to leave for your heirs which will generate serious death duties or mortgage(s) to pay or ongoing financial commitments that will need settling after you die.

Otherwise, the premiums on life insurance beyond retirement age are way higher usually. Most people take out life insurance so their young children will be provided for in the event of their untimely deaths with a lump sum (which can be used for paying off mortgages), so apart from the reasons above, at 65 the average person with children has generally finished raising them and does not really need life insurance, except of course, where one intends to keep firing on all cylinders and downloading pikins for the community well into old age.
Thank you for this perspective. I'll reconsider since I intend to be mortgage free in the next few years.

This function does not work on my own binance as it's verified with a Nigerian passport. Also, I can't create GBP ads on binance P2P anymore, I spoke to the help centre about this and the response was the same "My account is verified with 9ja passport"

Your best option as suggested would be USDT>NAIRA>GBP BANK...you may loose a lot amount depending on how much you sell usdt to naira and what amount you buy gbp.

USDT>GBP may be the better option.

Best to do the calculations first before proceeding.

Work visa is 3 weeks not 6-12 weeks, unless something has changed within the last one month.

However, there are cases where it takes over 3 weeks.

I assume you should be able to update the KYC or worse case create another account

Update:
Aparently, once verified, you can't change your country. there are other sites you may use like Paxful and Local cryptos but you have to be extra careful and they use ERC 20 which can have high fees. Maybe you can try creating another Binance account or use coinbase (cautiously) as someone suggested. cryptodotcom too is another good one. I found out yesterday that Huobi has p2p to but I am not confident in their dispute resolution process simply because of their reach and home base.

Truth is there are several ways to convert crypto if you are careful and adventurous enough. I even have 2 crypto cards that I can use to spend crypto direct from my wallet but I am yet to use any because I am unsure of the conversion rate.
