I think its necessary for all of us to keep this thread active before the portal is open again, so that we don't rush in and do the wrong thing. I read on the UK visitor visa thread, where a nairalander said his friend advised it is better to remain in the UK until they call you for Phase 1 training, so long as your 6 months visa hasn't expired. He added there is no point coming back to Nigeria after the assesment. Sent the person a message but he hasn't replied since then. So now my question is how do you deal with UKVI embassy, when you initially told them you will be staying for 2 weeks, when you have exceeded 2 weeks? |

Lotusflowerbomb:I really hope he does, he's done his time in the BA, he has a very good and simplified way of explaining things. |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by jaeybee98(m): 1:59pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
Lotusflowerbomb:Why should you tell them 2 weeks knowing fully well the process might take longer than that? |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by Lotusflowerbomb: 3:05pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
jaeybee98:hmmm well I dont think it is the persons fault. Someone I know said assesment is for two days, but you are advised to be in the U.K. at least a week prior to the assesment. |

How were you guys able to pass through the visa questions and date you entered UK on the registration page of the portal? |

Lotusflowerbomb: Sorry I have been away for some time and I side with you that this forum should be active for us to inform ourselves when recruitment commence. From your question, if you went to the UK for a visit and recruitment had not begun, its advisable you do not overstay more than the duration you stated on your application. In this case anytime recruitment begins, it will be very easy to get another visitors visa to join the Army. 1 Like |

Lotusflowerbomb: This is when you have already proceeded with your application and have been given a date for the assessment before you travel to the UK. But if you travel to the UK before you start the application, it will take a bit longer 1 Like |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by NanaOne1: 7:45pm On Apr 29, 2020 |
mamatwiny: You just have to complete the initial part of the application without filling the visa details. The Army recruitment agency says when recruitment begins you will be assigned a CSM who will contact you and move your application forward |

NanaOne1:The people I know, they aren't from Nigeria sha. They are from st Lucia. After they went for assesment and it was successful, they stayed in the U.K. until they were asked to start basic training. Don't you think Its pointless coming back to Nigeria and doing visa again for basic training, plus you risk visa denial and expenses all over again. Well I just read somewhere on UK visitors thread about someone who overstayed the number of days she put on her cover letter. She was advised to write a letter to UKVi explaining why she had overstayed. |

Dose that mean I must have stayed in UK for five years if not I can't be qualified ![]() Need answers please |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by NanaOne1: 4:31pm On May 04, 2020 |
Lotusflowerbomb: Ones you pass your assessment, you are granted 'leave to remain' visa which allows you to stay in the UK. You only have to go back to Nigeria if you have not yet done your assessment and your visa is running out. 1 Like |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by NanaOne1: 4:32pm On May 04, 2020 |
Ablemax: That law was changed to allow commonwealth applications to apply even if you have not stayed in the UK for 5 years. Ones commonwealth application commence you can apply |

Lotusflowerbomb:maybe that why when I try to take their time eligibility check ..I was told I didn't qualify .was thinking maybe it because I stated that I have never lived in the UK and have nobody there |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by Lotusflowerbomb: 11:21pm On May 04, 2020 |
Adamkeyj:Exactly. Its like that because the form is not for us, rather it's for their citizens. Let's wait for when the form will be suitable for us. |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by NanaOne1: 1:55pm On May 05, 2020 |
Lotusflowerbomb: Yeah when recruitment begins and you are assigned a CSM, he/she will complete that section of the application for you |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by Lotusflowerbomb: 2:14pm On May 05, 2020 |
NanaOne1:ok o Boss na you I dey fellow ohh ![]() |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by Adamkeyj(m): 10:35pm On May 05, 2020 |
NanaOne1:so as a Nigerian now that has never been to the UK and have no family there. how are we going to apply |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by NanaOne1: 1:17pm On May 06, 2020 |
Adamkeyj: Since recruitment has not started for Commonwealth applicants, you can just create an account on their website. When recruitment commence and it gets to your turn, you will be assigned a CSM who will contact you. Knowing someone who is willing to support you with documents to travel to the UK and also accommodation is a basic requirement so you should started linking up with friends in the UK 2 Likes |

Hello everyone. I hope we are all staying safe and steering clear of this pandemic. May the almighty keep protecting us! My question now is "How sure is this recruitment going to be" because i`m planning on getting my international passport solely because of this recruitment so i can fully apply because i noticed they asked for passport details. I have an uncle in the UK though and i`m hoping he will sponsor me. Is there any other thing i will have to do? I`m a graduate of chemistry education. Anticipating your invaluable responses!!! |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by NanaOne1: 1:32pm On May 07, 2020 |
ridboy94: Go to the army website and create an application now because most likely it will be "first registered first serve" when recruitment commences. Since you have your passport, if you are selected and you are invited for the 2 days assessment in the UK, you would have to apply for a visitors visa. So you should also prepare all the documents needed for a visitors visa when the time comes Regards 2 Likes |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by ridboy94(m): 3:07pm On May 07, 2020 |
NanaOne1:I started the registration but I stopped where they asked me to fill my passport details since I don’t have a passport yet. Do you suggest I fill in that I don’t have a passport or I should wait till I get my passport. |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by ridboy94(m): 8:34pm On May 07, 2020 |
Waiting earnestly for a reply please |

NanaOne1: Thanks for this info. Pls can you drop the web addresss |
Re: British Army Recruitment (Hopefuls) Lets Gather Here by Adamkeyj(m): 10:01am On May 08, 2020 |
ridboy94:you can create your account with ur passport details ..then maybe update it later when u get the passport but the real deal is to create the account ASAP as the OP suggested .peace |
