Hello fellow nairalanders!

I want to kindly inquire from expats in the UK if it is possible to work(any job) without work Visa.

My cousin just got a visa to the UK, a standard visit visa actually. But he was wondering if he can work during his visit with his no work visa. I know this is illegal there but does it have a chance to even get a job? like working in a McDonald's kitchen kind of job?

Thanks

Okay. Thanks.
What advise do you have for someone who wants to work abroad but with no work visa?

Don't do it because its illegal and abuse of visa.

No responsible company will ever employ you on visiting visa. Companies caught employing illegal workers get find £20K per each illegal worker that is why you hardly see any responsible registered company doing it.

Thanks for the clarity.
I also want to know if Account statement from Nigeria banks is accepted for Germany student visa as per their requirements for Financial Proof. They mainly require a blocked account with €10000 in it but will bank account from my bank be sufficient?

You need to open account with German bank and fund it with required block account amount, it's more than €10000 though.

Do you mean set up the German bank account here in Nigeria and fund it from here or when he get to Germany.
