Does anyone know if you need to make an appointment at the Accra embassy for them to put the MVV sticker in your passport?

I applied for a residence permit, but it should be the same procedure for study permits too. Hopefully I should get a positive decision from IND sometime in August. Seeing as you can only get appointments 4 weeks ahead, I was thinking if I should book one just in case.

From my experience there when I went to apply, the embassy staff are probably the most incompetent and arrogant set of people I've ever met, and they can't seem to give me a straight answer.

What experience and when did you apply ?

What experience and when did you apply ?

Just general incompetence and misinformation. The (Ghanaian) lady who attended to me didn't know what I was applying for, and kept saying my documents were incomplete. Even when I showed her a printout from the IND website listing the requirements. Instead she was asking me non-pertinent questions like 'how come I have a UK entry/exit stamp in my passport, but no UK visa on it'. I wasn't there for an interview; just to present my application.

They kept my passport for a week for verification (so I was stuck in Ghana) and didn't bother calling me when it got back from the Regional support office. I knew this was going to happen, as it's standard procedure, so I prepared for it. However when I called back, I was dismissed by the person on the phone without them verifying if I could get it back yet.

They were supposed to provide me with payment instructions at the embassy. This is according to the email I later got from someone at IND. The people at Accra told me otherwise.

I'll make a more detailed post when the application process is complete. For now, my main concern is for this to be over.

I applied around 6wks ago. I only came in contact with their Ghanaian staff.

Something else too: my appointment was for 9:45, but they ended up attending to me around 1pm. Lots of people who came after I arrived were attended to before me.

Take it easy bro. Since you have forwarded your fees and documents to the school and applied to IND, you don't have much to explain to the Ghanaian staff : what is her position at the embassy ?

Just stay connected directly with the IND and main consul at the Dutch Embassy : who would actually be a Dutch right ?

Keep us updated, at least so we can learn one or two things from you.

Thanks, I definitely will. I'm not going for study though, I'm going to work.

I just wish their embassy in Abuja still dealt with visas. This Ghana business is long thing.

The Mvv can only be issued at Ghana Embassy started last year. Just don't keep calm with those people. . The staffs doesn't know anything.

Keep track on your application yourself when they give you days to come for interview or collection or anything that as to do with you Application whatsoever, Keep calling them asked about your application process don't be shy or scared to asked them what is going on. I used Cotonou believe I travel over night to Cotonou just to got correct error made by the embassy so many experience. Just keep track don't just sit and say yes I have submitted the application and keep calm.. must staff doesn't know what to do. Get their emails get all their numbers.

none Nigeria embassy can issue the MVV again.. the only west african country that is equipped for it its Ghana as of last year. If you apply through other country it has to goto Accra Embassy when you get the sticker you go see place of issue "Accra"

It's alright.... Planning on moving to Ghana to undertake some courses. So it will be easy for me to monitor.

its takes about 2 weeks to get the stamp on your passport and for the interview actually the interview its not something to be worried its not a normal interview and in many cases you don't have to sit for any interview. And the payment for MVV I don't know how it goes precisely. And for anybody in Ghana. If you should book an hotel

Congratulations on your visa approval. The thread will live on for prospective applicant. Though, it seems few people aspire to study in the Netherlands.

Congrats Bro! You dont need to pay anymore thing, just make sure you go with all documents so you are not asked anything. You will need to book a hotel if u have nobody, pretty obvious! But that's just a little sacrifice tho! I'm still waiting on mine!

I really appreciate the advice that u guys hv given me once more thanks a lot....
