Does anyone know how long it takes for payment to get to the school after it’s been received by flywire?

CitiboiLagos:

Hello

CV represents everything academic/ work experience and skills you have acquired in both

Not sure of what you mean by academic CV.

Cheers

infosoftlife:


You don't need a new international passport as long you have the marriage certificate. But who has the POF? There is a catch... Who is the dependent? Who is going for studies??

slimmy2005:
Thanks, do you know if they have January or May intake

zanebaddo:
I thought they said banks can give you telecopy that shows such transaction has been initiated but debit is pending. I'm not sure about this however, can anybody help confirm it?

Lamika24:

Hello guys, I started pof from 23rd September. Please when can I print the statement to meet up with the 28days rule.

Horlamidei:
I got my CAS yesterday evening from Uni of Sunderland for January intake. I plan of applying for visa towards ending of this month of October.

My questions are;

(1.) The bank statement I used for POF which is my mom’s to get my CAS was printed from 7th September to 4th October which is 28days.
Can I use that same printed bank statement to apply for my visa which will be towards ending this month of October??

(2.) My mom who’s my sponsor removed a lump sum from the account on the 4th of October which is the 28th days from the account after it was printed which makes the required funds fall way below the minimum needed funds required for visa. Upon my displeasure, she returned it back to the account that same day.
Can I go ahead with the account or start another 28days again due to the transaction??

Will be very grateful for responses please as am confuse right now..

Form A Update
Form A is an application form designed by the Central Bank of Nigeria to pay for service transactions (invisible trade). Form A is electronically done and does not require your presence.

It can be accessed via

https://www.tradesystem.gov.ng/

Form A is the cheapest means of payment for international students.
Form A is not really easy and it is always advisable that applicants start on time as it may take about 15 working days or more and the processing time depends on the bank. Some banks may take about 30 days or more depending on the already existing queue.

NB: Form A is not only for new students. Returning students abroad can use it.


FORM A SERVICES

The prevalent services it’s utilised for are:

- School fees

- Medical bills

- Training Courses

- Mortgage and others


DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR FORM A

1. Offer letter
2. Degree Certificate
3. Invoice from School
4. School bank details
5. Letter of Authorization to withdraw (may be typed or hand-written containing your signature)
6. Passport Bio page
7. Student's ID card (returning students)
8. Residential Address (returning Students - not quite necessary)
9. BVN
10. Your Gmail must be linked to your BVN

N/B: If you fail to provide any of the above documents, you will be rejected. Again, CBN charges N5,000 per form A transaction.


STEP BY STEP GUIDE

- Visit https://www.tradesystem.gov.ng

- Click on the Form A floating button

- Click on Sign Up

- Input your BVN ( your Gmail will pop up in a cryptic format)

- Log in to your mail and copy the code sent to your mail and input in the text area at tradesystem.gov.ng portal.

- Select your password

- It's advisable to use Chrome in order to save your password for future access

- Click on Form A and follow screen prompt

- Remember to select YES on " available for Forex.

- Make sure you provide input correct information from the school and provide a genuine information.

- Make sure you monitor your progress to know if there's a request from the processing bank.


Stages Involved in Form A

1. Adb_Reviewer: This is a bank officer who assesses your submitted informations and if deemed correct, will recommend for Approval.

2. Adb_Supervisor: This is also a bank officer who Approves the recommended information by the adb_reviewer.

3. Adb_disbursment_reviewer: This is also a bank head office officer who assesses the required recipient's details and the amount required to process your application. If he finds everything satisfactory, then debit is processed.

4. Adb_disbursment_Supervisor : This is the final stage. The bank officer do verify and confirm the debit and term your application successful.

NB: Some banks may leave your application on ADB_DISBURSEMENT_REVIEWER level even after transaction is completed. It's not a problem at all. All you should bother about is your TELEX copy which serves as an Prove of payment.

Again, Form A can be processed from every part of the country but you must be a Nigerian.

Down Points

Form A is not the only source of payment. There's black market whose rate is not friendly but is faster.
Form A is a secured means but it might take time depending on the processing bank.
Again, there are some charges outside CBN and Tuition fees, it's advisable to have extra N15,000 because it was my experience.

Note: Starting your Form A journey on time is an advantage.
For tuition fee around £4,000, you can save upto N900k using Form A.

I applied to a uk school but no given the course. I asked an agent three days ago to apply for me me in another school. Now I'm unable to reach out to agent to know whether he has done my application for January 23 intake.

Can I do another application to be on a safe side because January is very close. Hope there won't be any negative effect in double application if the agent had already applied??

Justwise

slimmy2005:
