it was because on the registration for the university intake I was using the older passport one and during applying for visa, I have renew my visa then provided the new visa number...

what do you means by called?call UKBA or VFS or UK embassy??which one??? They do not provide any number to be call....Have anyone of u have a contact person that can be call???

i have a driving license that will expire next year and I will be in UK next whole year. so, do I need to renew my license now since I am in msia now?

A malaysian driving licence?

yes. malaysia license. im a malaysian.

Best to renew before you leave for the UK. If I'm not mistaken, you can drive in the UK for 12 months on your Malaysian licence, as a student.

Also:The government has decided to force through a new contact for junior doctors, resulting in unsafe working hours and a pay cut estimated to be around 30%.

Sociable hours changed to 7am - 10pm Monday to Saturday resulting in an unacceptable loss of earnings, and replacement with higher paid, lower qualified 'physician assistants'.

This following years of other cuts, with the 'new deal', loss of accommodation and pensions decimated (twice).



We've been screwed for too long, it's time to stand up for ourselves and call for the BMA to support industrial action.

I see, I assume you meant you applied for your course with old passport and applied for visa with new passport, and you did not update your University with your new passport details?

I think you should've update the University with your new passport details. This is because your CAS statement will show your old passport details if you don't. That's what I did anyway, I updated the university and my CAS statement shows my new passport details, visa application approved without any problem.

yeah...i just got the email from the university about it. Yesterday , they already update the CAS number and also notified the Manila UK Visa... does it will take some time to be added on to settle down all the thing??or just 2 3 days?it because my flight is on this saturday....worried if the visa could not settle on time

Will the UKVI at Manila re-consider their decision from their side straight away? Or do you need to submit a new application?
I don't know how long will it take for the 1st case, but for latter one you'll have to expect at least 4-5 days even if you opt for priority service.
Is postponing the flight ticket and course admission possible for your case? Cause I think Saturday is too close, I don't think you can get everything done, so I suggest you postpone the date if possible.

Oh ok..currently the UKVI Manila is deferred my application and there is no specific date on that action. Hoping that the progress will provide the positive result.

If you are driving a private vehicle make sure you are covered under the owner's insurance policy. A vehicle hire company will automatically insures its customers. If you don't have a UK driving licence the insurance cover is going to be expensive.

Which methods of money sending are more cost effective?

1) Bank draft
2) TT
3) ATM

bank draft. it's rm5 and a bit lousier rate but overall cheaper than TT.

if u got money in USD/EUR maybe you can try TransferWise. cheap way to transfer small amounts of money

The thread is dying down now since everybody should've been in UK and in classes now Best of luck guys/gals.

the draft rate is normally the same as the tt rate....but cost only rm5....however, you will need to physically bring/send the piece over....

tt is fast, but expensive way of transferring....but in emergency, would be the best...

My bad then. I always believed the bank draft was a lousy rate cause when i bought mine, it was quite exp (hsbc)

but yeah, if not uk banks will charge quite a sum to clear the tt

Anyone studying in Sheffield? I'm a fresher here.

How's everyone settling in?
My course starts on 28th September but my first class starts on 12th October, lol.
Now I have 1 week of free time to prepare myself before the busy life kicks in.

I just use malaysia atm card to withdraw
500 pounds at a time.

Less hassle, rate about the same i think
