tushqueen: Are you in Nigeria? If so, why do you want to do a covid test in UK? By the way, there are very many places to privately do covid tests in the UK. Google is your friend? Boots the chemist does as well as other major chemists or drug stores. There are test centres as well as self administered test kits used... The package is sent by post for analysis. It is not like Nigeria, most test centres will be approved and there is no big issue about accredited by the government. Google and read the reviews. I also had to Google to find these things when I had someone going to Nigeria. Most UK people will not know or need to know covid test centres unless travelling... As for travel Covid tests - fit to fly. I know someone that used Collision at the Airport recently. Collison are at the major airports - Manchester, Heathrow, Gatwick etc. And it cost £99 (100pounds). Result in less than 24 hours. Test prices range from 99-150 or more. |

claremont: I have 2 friends who studied biomed but couldn’t get a job before they were forced to leave the country. Maybe it’s cos they worked all the time to pay their tuition like you pointed out, or maybe they couldn’t get the needed certs to allow them practice. Last last your advice is spot on. |

Christabeliciou: Let me borrow you for one second. Put yourself in England’s shoes. You travel from abroad and then you want to quarantine in someone’s house. That person likely has a family. The point is, the house is not empty. You will eat in the house, touch door knobs in the house and lick spoon in the house. And you know Nigerians, we can’t talk without shouting or laughing out loud that saliva will be everywhere (little wonder why BAME community is mostly infected). If you mistakenly catch the virus from Nigeria or the airport, you will infect them, and they will infect others, if they are part of the “I won’t wear mask brigade”. Then UKs 20k daily cases will increase because of you. Would you, if you were England, be happy to allow anybody quarantine in their family friend’s house? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Christabeliciou: This is true, from Monday 15th February all international flight passengers especially from the red zones will be taken straight from the airports to a hotel to isolate for 10 days at a cost of £1, 750. If you are visiting that’s most of your shopping money gone. ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by mimilyrics: 7:08pm On Feb 13, 2021 |
You can use CityDoc or Boots. CityDoc cost £200 as at December while Boots was £120 but Boots required a booking 28 days in advance of test date as at December, not sure if that's changed.

mimilyrics: Thank you, we actually checked online but a few centers we saw online denied doing such tests even when I could clearly see it stated. We eventually opted to do it Manchester airport. Thanks all 1 Like |

Please I need accommodation link for a family of 5 on Edinburgh. We are currently in Essex and we need to move to Edinburgh next weekend. I need help please |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by tushqueen(f): 9:09pm On Feb 13, 2021 |
marylandcakes: Is this only for ppl on visiting visa? But I don't understand all these rationale yet. Travelers must test negative before they travel then on getting here isolate for 10days. I know someone who has only stayed for about 2 weeks he had to leave for naija before his return date because he has an important exam to write. He still had too do covid test again |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by tushqueen(f): 9:13pm On Feb 13, 2021 |
Mamatukwas: I realized getting an accommodation as a johnny just come in the UK is an arduous task, you apply as if applying for jobs then they will tell u they are running checks. I tell you for a fact, sometimes they don't. If you ask from your referee, you will realize that they were not contacted. I will advice OP to exert efforts, and a very sure link is getting linked up to a house owner if you are lucky to find one |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Mamatukwas: 9:48pm On Feb 13, 2021 |
tushqueen: True. But the Op said they are moving from Essex so I’m assuming they aren’t really new in the UK. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by cutieb(f): 11:03pm On Feb 13, 2021 |
Mamatukwas: I have but haven't found any that suits my budget |

tushqueen: Thank you but I don't know anyone in Edinburgh, Scotland |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by cutieb(f): 11:04pm On Feb 13, 2021 |

Good morning house, Please is it feasible to rent a 2 bedroom flat in UK from Nigeria? I'm in need of a 2 bedroom flat around Gillingham for a family of 5. The three kids are same sex. I will appreciate your guidance. Thank you. |

The people to self isolate in the hotels to pay the £1,750 are people coming from countries marked as red list and Nigeria is currently not part of the red list countries. “ How to book a place in a quarantine hotel and arrange coronavirus (COVID-19) tests if you're travelling to England from a country on the banned travel list.” (As seen on the gov.uk website, please visit the website for more information on this). marylandcakes: 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Emeraldvoque: 1:48am On Feb 14, 2021 |
Regarding the payment plan, you have to make a deposit of £3,000 before you can be issued CAS. Then you’ll pay 50% of the total outstanding tuition fees on or before the start date for classes and the outstanding balance on or before the end of two months or is it three months? But that’s the pattern, so just prepare your mind. Wishing you all the best. Zoe1234: 1 Like |

Good morning house,I’m new on this thread and I have tried to read as much as I can.i am tired of this country and I need to leave as soon as possible before my life crumble.I can raise as high as 4m naira and I want to go the student route.I work here in Nigeria and I have my masters here too.I have tried Canada EE but mehn that IELTS wahala is another thing.I’m 31 and I’m not married.please is going to Uk through school a good idea?what about settling there after the masters program?will I get a job after schooling with the post study visa?I am tired of living like this in this country. please someone should advice me.thank you |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by marylandcakes: 8:47am On Feb 14, 2021 |
Emeraldvoque: I have just re read it again and it states that travellers from those red zone counties are banned but British residents who happen to pass through or from those countries will do the hotel isolation. All other travellers arriving will have to isolate for 10 days along with their entire households. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Aphrodite007(f): 6:48pm On Feb 14, 2021 |
captainxero: Yes! It’s a great idea to come here now because the UK is offering Post study visas of two years to students where after school, you can stay here and work any job for two years. This means after uni you can apply for a professional job without needing sponsorship which is a great thing, as more employers will want you. However the wahala starts after two years. If the employer decides they can’t sponsor you, you’ll need to leave the country. But as a sharp guy, I expect that within those 2 years of working, you’d be saving for Canada. Then like that, you’ll emigrate to Canada if you don’t get a sponsor here. So yes come here. Getting admission and visa to study in Canada is like pushing a camel through a car window ![]() 7 Likes |

Good evening House, I'm considering getting on the property ladder with a 2 bedrooms house not more than £90k. I have a Mortgage in principle in place and the bank can only offer me the said amount of GBP 90,000. I'm considering picking between Sheffield or Bradford . But I'm not sure if there is any job prospect in this 2 cities . Currently I live in London planning towards moving out to get my own property but I'm just a bit skeptical of the possibilities of getting a job in this 2 cities . Please I will gladly welcome any suggestions as regards affordable mortgage that's not more than £90k in England with job prospect. Thank you |
