hello people....
i believe and pray that every person on this forum gets their Visas. Just to make a mental checklist irrespective of the school we would be attending, of other vital things we would need to do before we arrive at our individudual schools

i know for a fact that students would need to provide TB test probably in form of an x-ray at immigration and also at the school. What next people?

oh thats so great i m still waiting for mine since i got refused first time!

why do you say we need a TB test? who told you that sorry

Dear Pucca,
i was made to understand this by friends who had earlier gone to the UK for their Masters. Was told that without this, they were asked to take the test more of a general test at the Immigration.
Also, some of the Handbooks sent to me from Manchester indicates this.
Guess to avoid any form of delay i'ld take the test at home.

oh thats so great i m still waiting for mine since i got refused first time!

i didn't know about that. Where did you see that?

guess we'll have to verify if its restricted to a particular race so as to prevent any future delay.
Any other info pple???

Please can someone give me details of the post-visa requirements.(tb, xray, innoculations, etc)thanx.

yes i guess it depends on the university,,i was not requested this,,but my uni asked me to get the meningitis vaccine,,,,i also got hepatis A and B just because!

i also got my influenza vaccine specially because there has been many people infected by H1N1 here in my country and i dont want the uk immigration to give me any trouble when i get there,,,,

i also heard that you should carry in your hang luggage your unconditional offer from uni, your accommodation details and if possible your bank letter or statement (the one you showed at the uk embassy to obtain your visa)

Hello Pucca, have you sorted your accommodation? If not, check Unite Students halls, they are very good. You can book them online.
You are right about the hand luggage

I'm don't know the requirements for african countries. can someone tell me. my friend left 2 dundee and she didnt do anything.
I havnt done any medicals.

i wasnt asked about health requirements fortunately when i arrived at the airport

hI Naija, that confirms wot my friend said. was anyone asked about it at all?

i was not

You should keep a copy of your bank statement, your visa verifications, your acceptance letter to Uni, and the address of your residence during your time in the UK. These papers are needed most of the time you will be entering the UK. The visa is only needed depending on the length of stay and activities you will be taking part in in the UK. I studied abroad for 3 months so I did not need a visa, but if I were to work during my stay, I would have needed a visa. Good Luck!

Hey banking thanks for asking,,yes i got my accommodation already!!! already got my visa but the passport with my visa stamped hasnt arrived yet to panama because it was processed in new york,,,and my flight is tomorrow night,,,what about that.................if i dont get it by tomorrow i will have to reschedule my flight AGAIN for monday night and will arrive late for registration on tuesday morning,,thats just my luck,,,i will let you know when i get to london finally!

good luck to all of you who are on their way to london and other parts of the UK
