Good evening House.

I booked my TB test with this link:

https://appointmentnigeria.iom.int

ABUJA is my venue. After filling my information, my application status was tagged as draft and UNPAID.

Those that applied for their test in Lagos got a leaflet informing them to pay they medical fees. I have applied but haven't received that of the Abuja.

My question is this, should I just log on to IOM website to collect the bank details meant for Abuja, or should I wait for them to send it like that of the Lagosians?

Please, I need your responses. The medical date they gave me is 26th May.

@dduchess
@mimilyrics
@Ifshr
And other gurus.

Thank you in anticipation

The GBP is the transaction currency also known as base currency . The right arrangement is GBPNGN.
UKVI will convert their Pounds to Naira equivalent using the oanda site.
They will NEVER and NEVER put Naira First in the Oanda converter to determine their Pounds

GBPNGN

1 GBP = 1,013.95 as at today

not NGNGBP

I have to strongly disagree with you. The applicant's available currency is naira which he would trade in for pounds for his maintenance and tuition.

So the right arrangement would be to determine how much naira would give the desired amount of pounds for POF.

I know we all want the more palatable news, but the truth is that it's NGN-GBP and not the other way round.

This reasoning does make sense. Also, since the rate has been quite dynamic recently, for those just commencing POF, it is probably advisable to either just purchase your forex directly and show proof of that in your bank statement, or use a high rate (1200?) that accounts for potential future fluctuations.

I disagree with ur analysis. The UKVI will never valued your NGN as a basis to get their our currency equivalent (NGNGBP) The currency position is GBPNGN, GBPUSD or GBPEUR as the case maybe

Using the Oanda Site as at today.

GBPNGN, NGNGBP
as at today
1 GBP = 1,004.96

1 NGN = 0.00096 GBP

as at yesterday
1 GBP = 1,013.95

1 NGN = 0.00097 GBP
* It implies that, Naira value increases while the pound depreciated.

On the Oanda website, there is 'Currency I have' and 'Currency I want '

As Nigerians, we have naira and are 'buying' pounds with our naira not selling. GBP-NGN means we have pounds and want to buy naira.

I will reiterate that we are buying pounds and should use NGN-GBP.

What the UKVI use as equivalent is their own currency which the transaction currency (GBP) as basis not yours.
The decision maker will use GBPNGN not NGNGBP. They are the one to determine the value of 1 Pound to your Naira or USD not you telling them NGNGBP. You can take your time more to research about currency pairs.

GBPNGN (Its means UKVI valued their currency and tell you or quote the Naira Equivalent) This is what they use as POF for International students
NGNGBP (You are the one valuing your currency and quoting the GBP equivalent to them)

I disagree with you. A student is given tuition and maintenence to pay into his account in pounds, for instance 25,000 pounds, then you go to oanda and convert from GBP to NAIRA to know exactly how much that is, then you put the equivalent in your account as pof.. So you convert from pounds to naira.

Wrong, In forex, currencies are traded in pairs. The first currency is called the base currency and the second currency is called the quote currency.
Using the Oanda Site.

GBPNGN, NGNGBP

Hello

Forex exchange principles for trading is different from meeting financial requirements for visa application

For visa application the statement in other currencies will be converted to GPB using the Oanda exchange rate on the date of application.


Simply put ECOs will use the NGN to GBP conversation.

See link below and check section on money in other currencies

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/financial-evidence-for-student-and-child-student-route-applicants#how-your-finance-requirement-is-worked-out

I am unable to respond to other post on this, I hope this settles the argument

Use the NGN to GBP conversion

Cheers

I don't claim to be an expert. Over the years, I have read a lot of UK visa rejection letters and the visa officers always quote:
1 Pound = whatever Naira eqivalent. So, I believe the correct way to calculate POF is GBP = NGN. That is what I've always done for my children -without any issues. I hope this helps.

Hello

It depends

If you select a self service appointment you will have to upload the documents yourself

If it is an assisted appointment then you go with the hard copy of your documents and TLS will scan and upload them for you

The question is what type of appointment did you choose??

To buttress what duchess wrote, ukvi after receiving applicant soa, they examine through it and see the available balance. Furthermore any additional dependant too incase its one soa.
They will refer to there policy of required amount for MA and then add dependants as case maybe.
Additionally your actual balance would be checked with oanda rate from GBP which is total of required sum for all application into Naira to actualize the balance brought forward In the SoA. Thus if not fully convinced, the balance in soa with then be converted from naira to pounds to satisfy that atmost minimum 2000 pounds is offset for any currency fluctuations.
