Lady breaks down cost of relocation to UK
Emmanuella said her tuition fee cost £21,900, but her school gave a scholarship of £6,500, so she ended up paying £15,400.
She did her medicals (Tubercuosis test) at the IOM centre in Lagos, which cost £95, which was N136,000 as at the time she did it.
For her visa, Emmanuella paid £530, adding that she went for the standard visa.

Her words:
“I applied for a standard visa, which usually takes about 3 weeks to 1 month for your visa to get approved, which mine took 1 month. But don’t panic, if yours takes more than 1 month. Do not panic as long as you submitted all your necessary documents.”
For the Immigration Health Surcharge, Emmanuella said she paid 1£250 because the duration of her course was one year.
She added:
“If the duration of your course is 2 or 3 years, your health surcharge is definitely going to change. There is no fixed amount for the immigration health surcharge. For biometrics and visa uploading, I was lucky that I didn’t have to pay any extra money, and I got a close date.”
Emmanuella said she used Qatar Airways and her flight cost N2,250,000. She added that she paid 400,000 for extra luggage.
