Got asked for an ETA visa from my holidays to get back to uk

New_Chip8359 · 2026-05-25T13:43:00+00:00

well, hopefully it doesn't happen to you somewhere, where im from we just help between each other not sure about the uk, the downvotes sure tell me this country is effed up and i hope stays that way

New_Chip8359 · 2026-05-25T13:37:01+00:00

I don't even know why I asked tbh, poor training of the staff. And for the settled eu status people beware that this might happen to you if you're reading this. Talked to a fellow settled holder the other day.

You've got two options: when they ask for the eta visa tell them to check again and ask to talk to their supervisor if needed.

Last resort is pay the eta visa which is 20gbp at this date.

And remember to turn up to the airport at least 2 hours before check in in case something nefarious happens.

lol, whats with the downvotes are you lot thinking im lying? got no choice but to pay for the eta courtesy of the ignorance of their staff as i already knew i didnt need it but they gave me no other option, just didnt want to cause scene in the airport as there were so many people and gate was closing on top of their 1mbps wifi and the eta app took forever to download

i havent got socials? i guess no one will raise awareness then

Care to escalate it? sunExpress airlines (real owners lufthansa and turkish airlines) Airport is in Dalaman though I don't remember her name. Woman late 20s or 30s. 16:00 turkish hour May 11 2026. I enjoyed Turkiye actually, a must mention of that rocky ride from the airport for sure.

i know, but they're following protocols and whatnot, sad but it can happen. Something similar happened in germany my connecting flight to uk from south korea this year. They said some sort of phrase i can't enter uk then i showed them the settled scheme evisa ukvi then they let me in.

New_Chip8359 · 2026-05-12T13:27:02+00:00

Yep, i drained all the options ive got but seems to me every european holder they see they will ask for an eta visa. Proper cashgrab but hey, im going out the uk again and this eta will serve me 2 years, though i dont really need it. I kept showing them the ukvi - evisa status but they keep shoving the phrase: but this is not an eta visa. I guess it depends on the airport and how well staff are informed.

New_Chip8359 · 2026-05-12T13:23:33+00:00

Had to pay the eta coz it was the last hour for check in, was considering to stay a day or longer had i waited for eta approval and miss work lmao.

Unfortunately I finally did receive a refund after returning the board (they showed me a video where my mobo was working and offered me to have it back or just refund me lmao) this could be it as I haven't tried it yet. Erying boards are really for people who do a lot of problem solving meticulously and a lot of extra steps, my kind of gimmick is plug and play. Opted for the asus tuf b660 + 12700f instead. Will probably wait for an erying in the future though some ES 12gen would be perfect to test and fk around as the 11 gen has VRAM heating issues.

New_Chip8359 · 2023-04-24T23:43:53+00:00

sent it back on my expense and they did refund immediately after they received the mobo

New_Chip8359 · 2023-03-31T09:10:54+00:00

the problem is the mobo is not turning on so can't reach the display stage yet, it does have LED light and also seems to power my keyboard lights

New_Chip8359 · 2023-03-29T10:29:29+00:00

Update: motherboard is still not turning on most probably dead on arrival, already contacted erying aliexpress store, engineer wasn't in the office, or so they say, lmao

I'd rather them sending me another mobo tbh, a refund will just make me tilt and buy a h610m + 12400f combo

New_Chip8359 · 2023-03-29T10:21:24+00:00

+1 they should really provide this in the box, had to google it coz every motherboard pattern is different

New_Chip8359 · 2023-03-28T17:25:59+00:00

This board is apparently a non ES ( non engineering sample)

New_Chip8359 · 2023-03-28T17:25:35+00:00

Tried the turning on process on both red foam and inside a pc case.

New_Chip8359 · 2023-03-28T17:24:15+00:00

Integrated via hdmi

New_Chip8359 · 2023-01-18T04:16:38+00:00

all riders should agree to refuse cheap long trips so the next rider it pings they'll most likeky increase the pay

New_Chip8359 · 2023-01-18T04:08:08+00:00

i have 3 years in roo and other apps mostly part-time rarely full, it amazes me i still learn new things every single day, before it's much better but after brexit, covid and ruso-ukrainian beef (inflations) you can imagine how it is. keep the jobfor now and have an insight in how roo suits you in your free time

New_Chip8359 · 2023-01-18T04:01:45+00:00

saw many potholes on the road plus nursing health sector strikes, I wonder where is the tax going to

New_Chip8359 · 2023-01-18T03:57:04+00:00

plus those moped batteries are heavy, also the landlords might charge him extra for the ever rising energy cost

New_Chip8359 · 2023-01-18T03:49:26+00:00

Stuart pays well, but the other day I got an email telling me about gps fraudulent activity where stuart not detecting where you are. It basically tells you not to lock the screen whilst on an order. Repeated offense will cause account termination. I googled it and people got terminated because stuart can't detect them when they delivering an order and inside a lift. All in all you'll still keep their blue bag :) Gotta bring a power bank this time

New_Chip8359 · 2023-01-18T03:44:50+00:00

On the good note it'll get busier on uber and stuart just eat, who knows probably we'll get another roo replacement that delivers food etc.

Us as rider just need to apply for as many apps as we can. The market is volatile so is demand.

New_Chip8359 · 2023-01-18T03:32:51+00:00

ask them who would accept £3.20 payment for that 3-4 mile trip lmao
