Hello friends.. Does UK immigration allows a graduate international students to register and operate a business while still studying? Is there a visa category or route that allows UK graduate (foreigners) to become a business founder? Thank you for your kind response! |

Zahra29:Well, immigration is just one of the issues. There are several other issues like the cost of living, tax, NHS etc. And what they say they will do is not necessarily what they will do when they get into power. |

Thinking back to when you were aged about 14, which best describes the sort of work the highest income earner in your household did in their main job? Just curious. what does this question have to do with job application |

jedisco: talking about apartheid in SA, despite the support Nigeria gave SA against the west, it's far easier to get a visa to come to the UK today than it is to get a SA visa, sometimes one must have a long-term perspective of giving support all in the name of humanity, it was the support Nigeria gave SA that began even the harsh immigration policy of Uk to Nigeria where Nigerians born in the UK stopped getting citizenship immediately. What has been the benefit of SA to Nigeria today compared to the UK, let's be honest, I rather protect my interest first than prove solidarity anywhere especially when I can't predict tomorrow. The world is a complete jungle, one must give support with sense and with a long term perspective, If you're a citizen already in the UK, congratulations but for those with visas, they should thread carefully. 5 Likes |

Yes, it does but it’s not the value of the property par say but the downward spiral of naira value justwise: |

justwise: It does actually, however exchange rate makes it redundant. Another is selling it because Nigeria is poor at the minute, you may find it difficult to sell. |

missjekyll: The bolded is very inaccurate, (in recent polls economy/COL/inflation, NHS and immigration were the top 3 voter issues) but I don't want to argue. Come election cycle, you'll see the top issues that keep getting brought up - same as every election since Blair. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 11:41am On Oct 16, 2023 |
missjekyll: There are other resolvable reasons why the economically inactive are not able to work, for example child care restrictions/costs and the tax/benefits implications of working full-time. I'm not an advocate of forcing people into work, but I definitely think that a lot more people would be encouraged into work with tailored policies such as more flexitime/flexiworking, adjusting income tax bands, incentivising the care sector and the like to pay a decent wage instead of relying on cheap foreign labour - such measures would be a more sustainable and economical solution to the chronic labour shortages. The gov needs to look for innovative ways to address these issues but because these would undoubtedly require significant investment and policy changes, they choose instead the quick and easy route. 2 Likes |

justwise:. It does but the percentage depends on the location amongst other factors, one of my Dad propertise appreciated by 75% in the North over 18 years. My property appreciated by over 400% in 5years in Lagos. |

Henix: Not sure i get you, it appreciates in value despite naira depreciation? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Henix(m): 12:25pm On Oct 16, 2023 |
justwise: It depreciate in value as a result of constant naira depreciation. Let me give an example with a piece of land I bought early this year. I sent home almost 10,000 USD for the transaction. If I'm to sale that land today and convert back the money to USD, I seriously doubt I will be able to get the same 10,000 USD I sent home for the purchase. For me, that is a depreciation of my investment capital 5 Likes |

Finally caught up with all i have missed out on here... Please, my fellow Nigerians, lets be careful with all the migrating without having money for Airbnb or hotel at least.. I'm tired of saying No to people when they ask if they can stay at mine.. I'm tired of looking like a bad person .... It is really unfair.. saying No hurts a lot but i'm only trying to prevent long story later.. especially in this UK with smaller houses, cost of living, etc. Also, it is better to say No than to promise to accommodate/support and then fail to do so... that's just evil.. Just say No from the start It is better you read harsh responses here from people telling you the truth than to be exposed to the harsh reality of weather/financial struggle/renting issues/ etc........ Have a great week everyone 8 Likes |

It actually depreciate in value as a result of constant naira depreciation. The increase in value of the property over time is just an illusion. justwise: |

justwise: Tbh I do not fancy buying or building a house in Nigeria given a lot circumstances that includes but not limited to a particular government coming and demolishing the house without compensation and being scammed by this organisation that exist in Owerri OCDA and it's alike in other states. |

Regex: The scam is not only in Owerri i think its all over Nigeria. I'm not interested in buying or budling a house for investment yet because of ROI when converted back to £. I'm very much interested in buying a land when i see a genuine one |

Please after capturing how long does it take get the renewed passport back from london passport office |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Regex: 2:30pm On Oct 16, 2023 |
justwise: How can I buy land and before I build on it, I will first of all settle the indigen per building and borehole is even different and more expensive. After that, I will now settle government agencies that sees to obstruction of building etc... And in the end, a governor will not come because he has interest in my land will now demolish... Too much hassle for a meagre profit. |
