[@GW-HARSHH]

nice video and very informative

[@lalitpatil5768]

Quite insightful !

[@sabrinanasir1202]

THankyou for this information really was looking for this

[@devyanikoparde]

Most welcome Sabrina!

[@amalvarkey5875]

Thak you very helpful ❤

[@skoopqueen]

Opening a bank account is a crucial first step on the path to financial success. It's like planting the seed for your money tree. 💰💼 Over the years, I've found that having multiple accounts for different financial goals, whether it's a high-yield savings account, a brokerage account for investments, or a business account, has been key to growing my wealth.I wasn't financially free until my 40s, and I'm still in my 40s. I've bought my second house, earn on a monthly basis through passive income, and achieved 4 out of 5 goals. Investments are a wise decision I made.

[@vicahmed221]

Glad I came across this comment section. I was struggling to decide what to do with a good amount of money in the bank doing nothing. I would be happy if you could advise me, as I am ready to go the passive income path.

[@skoopqueen]

Generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (Regina Louise Collaro) an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance.She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy... So I’ll advise you do get a good Investment advisor for yourself.

[@vicahmed221]

I value your recommendations. It's challenging to locate a trustworthy person. I could really use your investment advisor after seeing how much money you've made through investing. If you don't mind revealing her information, that is.

[@skoopqueen]

Regina Louise Collaro is based in the United States and can work with anybody wherever they stay. If you would like more information about her, you can conduct a search online.

[@ugojazzy7812]

personally, I'm blessed and realizing I'm not the only one working with Regina Louise Collaro. I will consider myself lucky. I've been able to feed and make a living through her advice and great work. For such a person as Regina, I owe her gratitude, support and endless prayers as it is not easy to gain access to such a competent and reliable adviser. Who isn't just wise but has all it takes to handle an investment and is good at what she does.

[@rahii_joshi]

How is the connectivity of Voxi in Sheffield?

[@devyanikoparde]

Good question Bhagya! I don't have experience with Voxi coverage Sheffield. Hope you find a provider with great service! 📱

[@melvin07389]

Thank you so much for making this video, one doubt which Sim were you using until you received your new sim, and which Indian Sim you had, before switching to UK Sim.

[@devyanikoparde]

I was using Vi. I was on international roaming

[@prathnair4734]

as you mentioned sometimes it takes a month for the arrival of the brp card. So during that period can we still apply for part time jobs ?

[@code-on-Trip-app]

The regulations state that you can work part-time for 20 hours a week. If you want to save money, you should also pay attention to platforms that offer free lunch. I recently discovered that there are platforms that offer free lunch.

[@shvnjain]

I am moving to UK next month and I have got a current account opened in ICICI Bank UK app while I am in India with only a selfie and a passport within 5-10 min. I have got my account number to share with my employer to receive my settlement allowance.

[@devyanikoparde]

That's awesome Shivani! Having a UK bank account already set up will make your move much smoother. Wishing you the best with your relocation next month! 💫

[@shiamakdas9311]

Can we work without the NI number? With just the application reference number for NI??

[@devyanikoparde]

Yess we can

[@code-TRIP777B]

[@Code-on-TRIP]

[@anjalir58]

Hi . Since most of these requirements take a while to come , I’m guessing you can’t work once you get there immediately so it’s safe to take extra cash for the first couple of months ?

[@wslade]

u can work 20 hours a week

[@kaungzaw3827]

If the student arrive first time in UK . Do we need to buy sim card . Where can we buy?

[@code-on-Trip-app]

Supermarkets like Tesco have it. Don’t forget to apply for a railcard, there are discounts recently!

[@DP76453]

Please make a video on which forex card to use

[@devyanikoparde]

Great suggestion Deepa! Choosing the right forex card or bank account is so important when moving. 💳

[@E-preneur]

I’m 16 and need proof of address for bank but I can’t get it. Know what document I can request ?

[@devyanikoparde]

@E-preneur: To prove your address for a bank, you can typically request a utility bill, a rental agreement, or a letter from your school or college as proof of address. Make sure to check with your bank for specific requirements. 🏦📃

[@user-pj7yg5wl1u]

I can only appply for jobs after i get my NI number which is within 1-4 months?

[@devyanikoparde]

Nope You will get a temporary ni number

[@nayangadhari8602]

Is there any document which is in your list, I can apply from India 🇮🇳???

[@devyanikoparde]

You can probably get a sim card

[@jijaisoniyasuhaskokane1119]

Where will i come to know BRP ?

[@devyanikoparde]

You're very welcome Thales! I'm so glad the video could help prepare you for your upcoming move. Wishing you lots of adventures and memories in the UK! 🇬🇧✨

[@saumyajain9596]

Hey Devyani, super informative video, you are a saviour. I have a question. the SIM card you recommended, you said it arrives to your address within 3 days. what to do right after you reach the airport without the sim? I was hoping to have one as soon as I land to book a cab and contact my family about my safety. what would you recommend for that? please reply, thank you!!!

[@devyanikoparde]

Activate international roaming for a few days☺️

[@SatnamSingh-is7yi]

Magge campus hag kas da Ulster uni da

[@krishnaac8771]

Devyani, cash will work in bus and train or not as a newly came student?

[@devyanikoparde]

@krishnaac8771: Yes, cash generally works for bus and train fares in the UK. However, it's also a good idea to explore contactless payment methods like Oyster cards in London or contactless debit/credit cards, which are widely accepted on public transport. They offer convenience and often cost savings. But remember in London it does it.

[@code-on-Trip-app]

It is better to buy tickets online, which is not only convenient but also has discounts.

[@taranjeetsingh7368]

How to receive money in revolut

[@devyanikoparde]

Will make a video about that

[@kaungzaw3827]

Can we buy sim card in Airport if we arrive immediately?

[@devyanikoparde]

You can order it to your address or can buy at airport as well. However on airport you won’t find the best deal

[@helenstudio5468]

I got mine free ,from a store in March

[@S..u..n..i..l]

Will I be able to regisster for any of these before reaching UK?

[@devyanikoparde]

You would need a valid brp for most of these things.

[@jeetinj]

[@devyanikoparde]

Glad it helped!!

[@Random.videos0090]

thanks devyani. can you make a video about getting a driving licence as an international student?

[@devyanikoparde]

You can get it at your RTO. All you need is your CAS letter. Go there submit CAS and they make a 1 year license for you

[@shivantikaraje586]

What card or payment method does Voxi accept? Can we register our forex card for the first few months before we open our bank account?

[@devyanikoparde]

[@mr.victornwafor2335]

Hey you’ve got good vibe of communication. My question is, if a student arrive in the Uk and wanting opening a bank account without a job, how do you answer the financial inflow questions when filling out the forms.

[@devyanikoparde]

Hey there, Victor! Thank you for the kind words about my communication vibe. I appreciate it! 😊 When a student arrives in the UK and wants to open a bank account without a job, addressing the financial inflow questions on the bank's forms can be straightforward. Here's a general guideline: Savings: You can declare any savings you have, whether it's from your home country or scholarships. Be ready to provide bank statements or documentation as proof. Scholarships and Financial Aid: If you have received scholarships or financial aid for your studies, mention them. Ensure you have the necessary letters or documents from your educational institution. Family Support: If your family is financially supporting you, you can mention this. Some banks might ask for a letter from your family member explaining their financial support. Part-Time Work: Even if you don't currently have a job, if you plan to work part-time during your studies, you can mention this as potential income. Affidavit of Financial Support: Some banks may require an affidavit of financial support signed by you or your sponsor, confirming the availability of funds for your stay in the UK. Consult the Bank: Each bank may have its own specific requirements, so it's a good idea to get in touch with the bank you intend to open an account with. They can provide precise guidance on what documentation is needed. Remember, honesty is crucial when answering these questions, and having the necessary documentation to support your financial claims will make the process smoother. Best of luck with your banking journey in the UK! 😊

Hi Devyani, great video. Very informative, i do have a question would appreciate a response. When you say unlimited wtsap/fb/instagram - Does it cover international calling using messenger and wtsap like calling anyone in india or the UK. Also, do reels/videos on instagram fb cost you data or are they free irrevelant of the type of content on instagram and fb i.e. pictures/videos/anything.

[@devyanikoparde]

Hey Gautam, you can do anything on insta, facebook and whats app. It's free, even whats app calls and unlimited for that month. If you do decide to buy it, go though the code I provided for benefits :)

[@financialvox]

I am currently in grade 12 in India. My subjects are Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics but I want to do BSc in economics from UK. Since I don't have economics as a subject in grade 12, someone suggested me that I should not complete my grade 12 from India and in fact go to the UK on the basis of grade 11 result and do a foundation year. So, should I complete my 12th from India or go to the UK?

[@devyanikoparde]

I think staying in India is better If you have great financial background you can consider but that will be very expensive. But I think bachelors in India is okay, and do your masters aborad

[@devyanikoparde]

Abroad*

[@financialvox]

I agree with you but could you tell me that can I directly do BSc in economics from UK even though I don't have economics in class 12 or I will have to take a foundation year?

[@danyelo9032]

@@financialvox u have maths right so it'll be fine. First choose a university of ur choice and check ur course. And there they will mention all the subjects u need to study that course. If ur not eligible or u dont have few subjects u can go into a pathway program for 1 year where they teach u all the subjects that u have missed and u can join the university of ur choice
