justwise:


The Uk did not start any visa waiver for doctors wishing to travel to the UK to work, there is nothing like that.

Show me that link to support your false claim.

The UK only gave foreign doctors working in the UK an automatic visa extension without paying for visa fees and ILR to health care families who lost their loved ones working for NHS during this period

I also saw something like that on twitter.

Doctors are in high demand right now.

Even the US embassy under Trump created a waiver for doctors to come and work in America.

abnot:


They all had letters from the UK Home Office and the UK also sent a jet to convey them. It's part of the Covid strategy as countries (uk, usa etc )are looking for doctors. The UK high commission visa section is currently closed thus the government made this arrangement though Nigerian government countered it. A set of over 100 doctors left for USA about two weeks ago .Air peace conveyed them to Lome, Togo (Ethiopian airline's mini west african hub). From Lome they all boarded an Ethiopian airlines flight to USA. Nigerian government had to pull this move else there will be no more doctors left here lol .

Made up stories, so the UK did all that without Nigerian govt consent? They charted a flight and landed in Nigerian airport without any permission from Nigerian govt?

The Nigerian govt should send a strongly worded message to the UK and the US consulates.

Poaching our doctors would not be tolerated.

The lives of your citizens are not more important than Nigerian lives.

..and you think that the UK govt will fly into Nigeria to pick up those doctors without informing the Nigerian govt? And they will travel without a visa?

I don't know if that is true or not

But I am sure moving to the UK as a doctor is easier right now than it has ever been.

mimilyrics:
I think you are mixing it up with the free visa extensions for NHS staff. There's currently no visa waivers for doctors to travel to the UK.
Even British Nationals stuck outside the UK with expired or no passports have to wait for the VACs in their locations to open to enable them submit their passport applications.

He is actually very correct.
This arrangement is for health workers.

Your oversabi too much.


Why don't you calm down and learn?

Before you spew this trash with confidence, Hope you know they were issued Visa waivers by UKVI for the travel.

They had no visa.

The immigration were doing their job.

Then create an environment in Nigeria and a pay package for them similar to what they obtain in those countries

The pandemic is a new frontier for everyone.
The concept of visa waiver that existed between UK and some countries has been extended to intending essential workers from from other countries. These people most likely hold the initial visa vignette which must have expired due to lock down.
The fact is you can get an electronic visa waiver to enable you pick up your BRP if your initial vignette is expired. This is granted on a case by case basis.

You are making this up, show me a single line from govt website to back this up.

You have not heard of visa on arrival before?

MASTAkiLLAh:
you know that excuse is ridiculous

Why is it ridiculous? A visa is an essential document for traveling to another country.

Why employ immigration officers if they can’t do their job?

Lawlessness is one of our major problems and you seem to be supporting it.

Yes with tier 2 visa.

Some authorities are not open to correction and education.

People in the field are enlightening you on what likely transpired.

There is no such thing in UK.

abi. They deserve to leave. Some of them got infected in the course of treating covid-19 patients yet no allowances were paid to them. Imagine Lagos state sacking the health workers employed to take care of covid-19 patients at the various isolation centres when some countries needed more doctors to attend to their people. People supporting the useless govt have suddenly kept quiet about it as if nothing happened
Read the below

Of course they can travel. But for God sake let them have valid travel documents. What’s wrong with you?

Lexusgs430:
Go to where your profession is appreciated....... Nigeria for sale............

Hahahahahahaha

Health workers with valid leave in the UK, not in Nigeria. Even those with the expired 30-day vignettes have to wait till the VACs are open for applications to apply for a renewal of their vignettes.

UK has no visa on arrival arrangement with Nigeria.

They all had letters from the UK Home Office and the UK also sent a jet to convey them. It's part of the Covid strategy as countries (uk, usa etc )are looking for doctors. The UK high commission visa section is currently closed thus the government made this arrangement though Nigerian government countered it. A set of over 100 doctors left for USA about two weeks ago .Air peace conveyed them to Lome, Togo (Ethiopian airline's mini west african hub). From Lome they all boarded an Ethiopian airlines flight to USA. Nigerian government had to pull this move else there will be no more doctors left here lol .

Over 100 doctors left for the usa? For what? This is worse than fake news.

Visa on arrival things

What subsection nonsense are they talking about

The UK visa waiver arrangement excludes holders of the Nigerian passports. If you hold a Nigerian passport, you can only get a visa or visa vignette and this will have to be in your passport, not as an electronic document.

knowles89:

For a nation with shortage of doctors, this very alarming.

The only letter the UK will give you as a holder of an immigrant entry visa or (leave to enter) will be your BRP letter and this letter cannot be used as proof of entry authorization without the visa vignette in your passport.
