The account must be a personal account. It can be owned by you or your parent

You submit the documents specified on your CAS

Have you guys heard the new rule? International/foreign students can no more work during school and must leave immediately after studies!! These people have started again. Their wahala is too much!!

Yes. Its not good at all.
*Non-EU students will be barred from working while studying in Britain
*Will have to leave the UK when their course ends under immigration curbs
*Students told they can only apply for a work visa once they have left.

Well I hope it doesn't pass through as the plans will be presented to MPs next week. If approved, students from outside the EU will have to leave the UK before applying for a work visa if they want to return to the country.

Looks like it's mainly to do with colleges and not universities.

Well, I saw the "college" thing but, it says "students" in some cases.

CHILL.
Its further education colleges

Theresa may's plan is to abolish/replace the 10hrs per week which is for college students, and also prevent further education (college) visas from 3years to 2yrs except if the college is linked to a university eg. LSBF. m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/7783050

I need help guys. Please i need someone to explain international bank transfer to me. How many charges are there? What exchange rate do they use? CBN rates or on the street rates? I want to know which is better? Bank transfer or card payment? Someone should please help me.

International bank transfer are 2 types. One is bank to bank ie you that wants to transfer should have a foreign currency account aka domicilliary account ie pound or dollar account. The second type is form A. Form A u need a current account in naira, the bank will then pay for u in the foreign currency you apply for. for form A most banks will charge 1% as charge, 0.5% of charge as VAT, #4000 as telex charge, then about $18 as offshore charge. Yes they do use CBN rates. I myself paid with my card over the weekend, i was charged #338 to 1GBP. For card there are no extra charges. NB: i applied for form A but was declined because i didn't have my university certificate, my school says it's not ready but the bank refused stating that it's a cbn requirement. Which is better? It's your choice. card is faster cos ur payment reflects immediately, but form A seems to be more strict in terms of cbn rates ie you will still pay less than card inspite of the charges. hope u get?

You are such a darling. You have been very helpful. I have a current account and i have my certificate. I would ask for more info when i get to the bank. One que, how long does it take to reflect in the school's account? Do u have any idea?

form A could take up to 3 days.

Okay. That is not bad. I still have plenty of time. I hope issuance of cas won't take up to more than 5 days o. Thanks for your help.

Congrats @qstomiwa

Stay positive, am sure you would do just fine.

In addition to kokegbe's response, Form A could be as fast as 24hrs (I'm very certain of Banks like First bank, Diamond and Keystone on this).
Also, as per charges, if you are very charge sensitive I'll suggest you use Form A instead of the card option. If you use the card option, you'll be buying at the bank rate, while Form A gives you access to CBN rate (with minimal charges). Trust me, on a payment of £10,000, you could b saving up to 200k.
