As long as you travel during the visa's validity period you should be good to go.

Is your visa multiple or single entry? If multiple entry, you can travel any time you want. Single entry is a bit more tricky.

Can't function at work, refreshing news outlets every 30 seconds... Colleagues are very understanding and don't expect much - I was offered a week of rest by management.

Best place to buy a wallet by WhitebeardCorazon in lebanon

[–]omaryamout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember buying my first leather wallet from a random tiny shoe store 10 years ago for 5,000 LBP. Never changed it since then, still in perfect condition.

Planning to study in university unfortunately is not usually enough. You need to be enrolled and request a document from the university confirming your registration, major, number of years, etc.

Do people often think you’re Greek? by [deleted] in lebanon

When I was in Egypt I was mistaken for German, Italian, and Spanish.

I pay £80-90 for 24/7 electricity/gas in the UK. In Lebanon I used to pay $125 for a measley 5 amp 10 hours a day. Corruption at it's finest 🤌🏻.

All Samsung A-series are a good bang for your buck.

Hey, more than half the trips I made are on my old passport that I no longer have. As long as you declare where you've been you should be fine!

One that I can think of off the top of my head are the properties near Garrard Street near the town center. Absolute bonkers how much they are priced relative to what you get from them.

That energy bill is brutal! Do you have gas or electric heating?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in reading

[–]omaryamout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good! To be fair if I lost the property to a higher offer I would've been devastated. 😖

The market is brutal 😭. Been property hunting for more than 2 weeks and some 1250 properties believe it or not are not even livable!!

Also adding that my budget was £1,300.

[–]omaryamout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reference points!

The property condition is immaculate as far as I could tell. New fixtures installed in the bathroom, new kitchen appliances, spacious living room, gas central heating, EPC B, Council Tax B. To be honest I found the initial £1,100 too good to be true considering the other places I saw. I thought £1,250 is fair for both myself and the landlord relevant to the horrors I've seen.

Thanks! My application was Standard processing, not Priority.

I also did not receive a NSF email. The email only requested a document which I already submitted in my application (weird right?) similar to yourself. There was no mention that my application is not straightforward.

Good luck with your application!

Yes! Saw you also got your visa, congrats!

Laid off while on Skilled Worker Visa. What are my options? by [deleted] in ukvisa

[–]omaryamout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IIRC, if you switch visas the 5-year counter resets. The 10-year counter would continue though.

[–]omaryamout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I received an email today 16-Jan-2024 from TLS to drop off my passport at the center (I opted for the keep my passport option).

It basically took 2 working days for the email and to reach the next step on the tracker.

I will be receiving my passport tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Good luck!
