Hi Bacteria and everyone, thanks for your response. Pls how much in naira is the £147.50 for ECCTIS? The person who paid for me paid with Euro and said the conversion is 190knaira. Pls is ECCTIS up to that? By the way she's my sister so I'm not going to pay her that much but out of curiosity I want to know how much the ECCTIS fee is in naira.

Bacteria8:


You can't use naira card for international payment.

CBN already cancelled that since last December.

Get a dollar card.

There's also a virtual dollar card (GTBank and Zenith bank I don't know about others)

Or you can get someone from outside to help you make payment while you transfer the money to them.

As at this morning, £147.5 is less than N90,000

And Euro is also lower than pounds.

CBN official rate for 1 pound as at this morning is N800. Black mkt rate is about N950, so do your math.

She spent 180euros which is not supposed to be more than 100. She used pounds black market to calculate for you which is roughly 190k.

Notwithstanding that, Euro is still less than Pound Sterling. CBN rate for Euro today is N684, while black mkt rate is about N815. So no matter which of the currencies you calculate the total Ecctis fees with, it shouldn't be up to N190k.

The price quoted doesn't include VAT.

So the English proficiency that's listed as 140£ suddenly becomes £168. Then e statement 7.50 with var increased to £9 n posting also had small vat. So ended up paying £180. You'd see the total + vat in your receipt.

Then if she pays in euros there's also an additional cost on some cards for foreign transactions

Good day all. Please I want to find out, are people from Nigeria still getting COS from care homes or I'm about to be scammed by someone with a make believe offer that I can get a 3 years caregiver job in the UK now. Are care workers from Nigeria still being employed and being offered visa?

The interview is one on one with Oyinbo.The questions will centre around why you are travelling,what you stand to gain,why you choose the country and what is your relationship with your sponsor and the rest.You might be asked anything.I hope your sponsor has evidence of tax payment to government.
Hi. Please, can one have two sponsors?
That is, can two people pay into one's account for the proof of fund?
In this case, do you think it is required to get tax clearance for both sponsors or would the tax clearance of one sponsor suffice?

I think they are about to scam you. There has been an influx of care workers in the UK and not do they not offer CoS anymore. They rotate the jobs between agencies and caregivers working under agencies don't even get to work every week. The pay have even been reduced the from about £23/hr or more to £10.5 - £14/hr. Though few agencies pay up to £15- 20/hr but it's difficult to get jobs in such agencies.

I have already stated the obvious truth to our people here but it seems we like deception , some people were even calling me names self but It time wasting on my side for such silly engagement. .
Direct abroad recruitment for care job in UK is almost getting to its end ,people should seek alternatives route but it seems we want to open ourselves for scammer that will collect 12M from you and get you down to UK with no shifts on ground to give you.
From what i have personally witness , there are more than hundreds of innocent nigerian that were already stranded in uk right as they fall victim to such scams and with little or no shifts from their so called sponsors .And I am sure you should have a guess on how horrendous and awful it can be for someone to be living in uk with no daily income coming to you ,infact present naija situation right will be like paradise in comparison.
There are still lot of nigerian student and dependent already in uk with verifiable care experience that also looking for same sponsorship opportunities with no luck just to know you know how competitive it is becoming unlike before.
even the few reputable organizations that can give sponsorship will prefer to give sponsorship for people that already working with them and most them will not even advertise that they have license to sponsor ,you have must worked with them for up to 6 months and have passed your probation period before you get such offer.
Uk experience matters alot to employer if you much know, with that in mind now tell me how will a potential employer now leave those in uk to give it to people abroad when you have enough peope on ground t? it simple common sense na unless there is more to it.
care sponsorships from abroad Is not something that easy that falls on people lap like before , the recuitment is getting to its saturated point already , so don't fall victim to hungry scammers .
And for those people still searching from naija ,I wish you goodluck, there is no harm in trying but shine your eyes o and why not dissipate your energy to other route as this particular route don caste already .

Evening Greetings Sir, Please do you have any idea, if it is okay for someone who just got into the UK with the Skilled Worker(Care Worker) Route and doesn’t have Shift or training yet from the Employer that issued COS. Is it okay for that person to quickly Travel out of the UK and back, even before getting shifts? (This Person already received the BRP card upon arrival in the UK). Is it advisable for the Person to make this Trip outside the UK. (Urgent/important Trip)? Thanks for your response in Advance.

The visa form will ask you the COS number of years and you can't lie, once you pick 5, then it will automatically ask you to pay for 5 years.
