lol. i only paid the student union fee when i got to finland. but if helsinki is asking for something diff.. i think you have no other option than to pay

Inufele1:
@Oga Sirkezman and Iceberg54 , Please I don't understand this University of Helsinki people O, they are saying I must pay for students' Union fee (€102) before I even secure my RP. They have made June 12th the deadline for me to accept my study place and July 31st deadline for enrollment. I can't complete my enrollment at faculty without paying the Student's Union fee. Though I can complete all these processes while still in Nigeria, is this the norm or there is another way around dis?

she will put the whole funds. but either way is fine.

ooluseyipa:

I guess nobody applied for MSc in Finance and Intl Business at Uni Vaasa. I am OYO. It is well o

I applied to University of Vaasa too, but not in Finance or International Business. They already send an email to notify me of the admission offer.

Which means you were offered admission already? Was there any link to check admission list? If there is please let me know, thanks for the reply

sirkezman:
seems you are in the same department as my lil sis. Mari is the course coordinator abi? i personally sent him/her an email, telling her to sign the scholarship contract and send it back to me but she said it isnt necessary since it has been stated on the admission letter. and yes i think she is right. just package other documents and include the details in your introductory letter/SOP and you are good to go

@sirkezman which course did your younger sister apply for at UEF that gave her the €5000 yearly scholarship?

@adebasket and sirkezman....

I want to put things in order before contacting the Finnish embassy.
Please, the issue of health insurance, which AIICO was the best suggested for(in this forum) as against SIP... I want to know if one is to pay for 1month insurance? Cos the kind money ds ppl talk for a year is damn too scary...

.
Part of their mail on health insurance:
.

'.......Please note that any communication or questions about the insurance should be directed to the insurance provider and that your residence permit will only be valid for as long as the health insurance that you buy.'

Ogas, pls clarify ds, abeg.

U would need one year insurance regardless of what is written. Ur insursurance must cover u to the sum of 30, 000 Euro.
I would have advicesd you buy SIP..but the price is expensive. Using SIP means there will be no issue with the verification of Ur insurance document as even the embassy recommends it. However other insurance policies are accepted...but will go through verification and other processes to ensure the quality and the ability of the firm to pay claims in case something does happen to u. This takes time. Whatever one u purchase..must be valid for one year....and be worth 30,000 Euro cover

Guys I have a question ooooo.

If we re to fill in for electronic application. Are we to pay online or pay thru bank? Am confuse here.

I wish you have any contact for SIP in Naija, it will be of great help. I think the Embassy require the health insurance certificate. And I can't confirm how online registration can provide that.

Abeg no vex for ds my disturbances.

Thank you

Modified:
I 'googled' for their contact and the guy is telling me between 50-54k... That he's not too sure. He's not in the office to confirm from the papers.

Abeg, if its this way, I'll need SIP contacts for 9ja den?

their contact? just google their website and check the nearest office to you.

Cmanforall:


Pls can you send me their contact?

Thanks.

online is faster. scan all your documents, convert them to pdf files and upload them to your migri account.

I can see most people are confused about the online application. for clarification, payment for both online and paper application will be made into a nigerian bank. so if you are applying online, when you get to the payment option, you choose the option of paying at the embassy. nothing will be done on your account till you visit the embassy. when you visit the embassy with your payment slip, your account will be activated and then they start to process your application. I prefer the online route because it is faster since decision on your application will be made in finland and not in Nigeria. about uploading documents, i think you have the maximum of 10 files to load on migri.fi, so all you need to do is to scan all your files and convert them to pdf. so, (all) your bank statement sheets (last 3 months) becomes one document, your sponsors statement (last six month) another one, insurance another one, your letter of introduction (or Sop) and your Sponsors letter of support makes another document.. also include your sponsors employment letter and pay slips then you are fine..

those who have been scheduled, how long did it take to get a response from abuja? my sister sent an email since yesterday and no reply yet
