Hiya @1andonly, was it the embassy that requested you get such letter or the school sent it to you out of its own volition.

Well they didn't but I figured they would send me back if I didn't provide an additional proof that I was still on time because you should submit the application 2 weeks before resumption else you will be sent back. I think I saw a document online that made this statement.

Btw for those of you who want to translate, I had need to use an official translator recently and she would be willing to do business with you guys. I think she would also come in cheap....

I paid part payment and I'm required to pay the rest when I resume there. My question is that do you think it's necessary to still get a note from school stating that I'm paying the remaining school fees during resumption? Which was your case concerning this. (Plus I have my remaining fees in my account as suggested here)

If you can get it perfect. Else just have the money in your account.

I would reiterate, the main reason visa applications are rejected is because of funds. If you don't have sufficient funds, don't bother applying.

Hello house, someone told me that they only accept school fees receipt from school. But I only have the one bank gave me.my school didn't give me any receipt, they only confirm to me that they have received the money when I scanned the receipt to them.can I apply with that receipt? kindly advise.

print out the school's confirmation letter and staple it to the banks receipt then head to the embassy. No worries.

God bless you zendman. Ummm what do you mean by when i pay for the hotel booking the better? I want to book for 7 days, pay fully for four days nd complete the other 3 when i reach there cos i dont want to hear shoot bird so i can easily get my refund when i hear stories dt touch the heart frm there embassy. If i dont make the complete payment will it raise a red flag?
Are my employment docs needed nd do i need to swear an affidavit?

Four days is ok. But those spanish guys >for documents try and add any document to prove you will definitely come back so doc such as employment letter, salary slip, marriage certificate, shares etc will go along way to let them know your intention, also add a cover letter detailing the nature of your "tour" whether na to go enjoy or business tourism or to go snap with Messi.

hello house, has anybody applied for visa? was disappointed today at the embassy, my certificate is not yet ready for collection felt like giving up! I was told to call a number tomorrow to see if it is ready. enrollment in school is 8th of sept, i need to be there that day. only God knows when i will get my certificate. Already sent them a mail though, they should make it available for collection tomorrow.

Hiya Zendman, very unfortunate but call them or write them an e mail explaining your plight and should your document be ready, they should send you a notification by mail. I tried it and it worked for me...

I also have not applied because I am still expecting my translated copy of my PCC from Vivian. In between I will advise you also request the originals of your documents from the school - admission letter, school fess payment, scholarship letter...etc. I will receive my Spanish translation on Friday and hopefully will apply next week.

Let us all keep faith it will all end up in praise by God's grace

Paid for DHL to deliver them to me from my school but was told the school is closed. Meaning I have to wait till 31st when school resumes. Before I get it. How much did u renew ur PCC? Did mine on 8 of June. Does that mean u will have to legalize it again? Just kind of depressed with the whole stuff. Saw someone who collected his certificate after 3 months of investigation even heard some saying they bribe the so called investigator. The whole story made me very sad today. All the same I wont give up!

Don't give up! I had similar challenges. PCC expiration-this was why I said not to do it early because it might expire. I think you have to legalize it. Phew! I understand how it feels. That sinking feeling and you want to abandon ship but don't.

School resumption. OMG!!! Take a chill pill. Wait till your school resumes on the 31st, get a resumption extension letter from them, legalize your PCC but enquire whether you need to legalize this expired version since it is truly not your fault and it wasn't mine either. Bombard the consulate visa section with emails. Find their specific email it should have visa something in it complain and rant. I used this and it worked wonders for me. Rant, rant, rant and rant but in a clearly thought out and logical way.

Once more, keep up the fight don't give up and we may yet meet in the beautiful city of Barcelona.

Just thought to warn you guys, Spain is facing a very dry moment with respect to its economy. So don't expect too much as this ain't UK, Germany or the US. The kind of jobs usually available are bar tending jobs, salesman jobs etc not the kind of job you probably dream about hehehehe. I seriously wanted to come back after my studies but something dropped for me. Doesn't mean I won't be coming back though. There are more opportunities in Nigeria than Spain. The only thing that irks me is the power situation and the rough traffic in Lagos if not I would have come back home a long time ago.

Cheer up guys!!!

Hiya Zendman

It cost me about N2500 to do a new PCC, the pink copy only and you will have to authenticate it again in Abuja then submit all of it for legalization. I was able to do mine including legalization in less than 10 days. However in submitting for both authentication and legalization you will need to attach the previous ones along side so that the MOFA and Consulate will understand why you are only bringing a pink copy.

Please never give up... Hey just on legalization they will only legalized the new pink copy but will need to sight the expired one. If you can submit on a Monday you can get it on a Thursday same week

That's what most people say at the embassy and even the world economic news place them low in terms of employment. Anyway what's important is just to get the degree and move on from their, may have to opt for an exchange program in Germany or Japan after my first semester since my school has an exchange program with some school in those countries and many other countries. Anyway will cross the bridge when we get there.
BTW how about the so called teaching English as a foreign language which I heard is quite common in madrid and Barcelona. You should be through now with your program I guess.
@objifeanyi called the embassy and I also wrote them but was told they will get back to me as soon as they receive it. Told them to send me the lawyers number but no reply to that request yet. I just pray I get it next week Thursday.

Hello, thanks for starting this thread, quite insightful. I recently won an Erasmus Masters scholarship and my first mobility country is Spain. Waiting for my school to send the necessary documents. So I will be visiting the Spanish Embassy soon.

Also I would be going to Barcelona!

Regards.

Wow congratulations on your scholarship! I'm so happy for you like it was me . I'm also applying for the Erasmus Masters scholarship in Educational Policies for Global Development (2016 application for 2017 intakes). Please i would really need your guidance for my application. My email address is nkechi.osuji14@gmail.com. Would be happy to hear from you soonest. thanks and God bless!

[quote author=Nkay14 post=48829083][/quote]

First mistake made is posting your email on here for scammers.

You can easily send him a message on Nairaland which he'd get as a notification on his private email.

I will possibly put in a word or two for you seeing I know him.

Cheers!

To be sure, I am done with my program. As for Teaching English as a Foreign Language that one dey don't think I've tried to explore that option.

You still have options though. When you come around you can assess them but just bear in mind that they'd be somewhat inferior to what you'd get in the UK, US or Germany.

Cheers!

Hiya MaCiCi1, Thursdays are for collection but the embassy could call/mail (most times mail) you to pick up your doc any day especially if you have been interacting with them on e mail.

I had same situation where I submitted for legalization on a Wednesday and was asked to pick it up Thursday the upper week, only for me to get an e mail on Friday morning (same week of submission) that it was ready and I could pick it up either that day or Monday

You suppose trust naaaa... ai pick am up sharp sharp that Friday

ManCiCi1:
It'll definitely be successful. Congrats!

Thanks and same for all of you too... like I mentioned it will all end up in praise

Hiya zendman, this answer would have been best if I had collected my visa because the officer at the consulate does not return your statement of account if it is insufficient or the embassy give an indication of a minimum monthly expenses in euros.

In any case I had excess of N3m and I used the below logic;

I contacted my school for the minimum living expenses in a month and it totaled to 600 Eur. I added 25% more to it to make it 850 eur/month hence I had to budget 8,500 Eur for my 10 months course. On the conversion to Naira, I noticed that all the fees recently have gone up by at least 43% with visa fees going up by 47%, I used it in converting to Naira with the base as the old rate of circa (N230/Eur) and leaving me with the formular (8500*230*1.47). I left the balance as excess just in case... all in a bid to reduce my margin of error

Not sure if the money is sufficient or my conversion logic correct... I can only hope and pray that I am granted visa...

Hey one more thing, I already paid all my school fees before applying for visa and I was glad to have done that because I was able to get CBN funds for over 64% of my school fees before the devaluation and used the parallel market to sort out the balance... imagine if I have to pay 12,300 Eur in today's economics ... would seriously re think this whole PG cum Spanish visa wahalla

Phew! I like u are going for economics, this ur analysis no be small , anyway I used about 850 to calculate, and I also have added my sponsors account statement. But ur fees is quite hight, over 12000 euros for a one year course, mine is 7500 for the whole two years.
