For your own convenience, easier processing and to get your eCOE on time wire all the fund at once because you won't get your eCOE until the school confirm your initial deposit of both tuition and OSHC.
For police clearance, I only know of Alagbon in Lagos and police headquarters in Abuja don't know if you can get a clearance in other states.

Please, what are the requirements for getting a police clearance and what is the cost?

Thanks.

Biometrics #7,430, medical depend on your intending course because those going for health related course pay little more than others contact the designated clinics for the actual amount budget like #45,000 radiology #5,700.

How to Open a Domiciliary (Foreign) Account With GTBank, Zenith Bank & Firstbank in Nigeria

Now that we have more people into online business, the best time to talk about
Domiciliary account opening is now. Because in one way or the other, you will always want to transact business that involves foreign currency.

I do receive foreign currency from my clients abroad, but not into my Naira account. If you have been receiving foreign currency into your Naira account, then you are being cheated because bank rate is not the same as black market rate.

As at today 02/08/2016, dollar exchange rate from black market is 381 while inter-bank exchange rate is pegged at 320 . You see the difference?

What is Domiciliary Account?
Domiciliary account is a bank account in Nigeria that is operated in foreign currency. The account allows you save money in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euro with your money valued at the prevailing exchange rate. This account is funded through bank deposits, traveller’s cheques, cash inflows and lodgement of foreign currency cheques.
Note that you cannot transfer money from a naira account to a dollar account. But you can easily transfer money from DOM account to another DOM account

So if you are a serious online business entrepreneur, and you don’t have a DOM account, then you should consider opening one for yourself. This is why I don’t too border about PayPal not receiving money because I use my DOM account to receive money from online stores abroad.

How to Open a Domiciliary Account in Nigeria
Many banks offers this services but I’m going to focus mainly on three (3) banks. GTB, Zenith and First bank.

How to Open a Domiciliary Account With
GTBank Nigeria

Requirements
1 . Identification Card : This simply means, valid Identity card like International passport, drivers lincense, National ID card.
2 . 2 clear passport photos recently taken
3 . 2 referee: Two persons that would serve as referee and fill each of the two reference forms that will be issued to you are required. Both referees need to have a current account each preferably with GTbank to facilitate opening of the account.
4 . Utility Bill: Photocopy of your Utility bill issued in not more than 3 Months
Once you have the above completely in place,
>>Visit any GTB branch closest to you and walk straight to their customer service department.
>>Request for Dom account opening process and you’ll be guided through on what to do.
Zenith Bank Domiciliary Account Opening
Requirements
1. Account Opening form duly completed & signed.
2. Two (2) specimen signature cards duly completed.
3. Two (2) recent clear passport size photographs with your name and signature written on the reverse side.
4. Residence permit (where applicable).
5. A valid form of I.D. (International Passport, Driver’s License or National I.D.)
6. A copy of a Public Utility Receipt (not older than 3 months)
7. Initial Deposit.
8. Two (02) References.
9. Make sure you have an active account with the bank operating in not less than 6months.
Once you have the above in place, walk in to any Zenith bank and request for Domiciliary account opening. You’ll be guided on what next to do.

First Bank Domiciliary Account Opening
Requirements

1. Minimum opening deposit of of $500, €500 or £300 (you can always withdraw some part of the money leaving a minimum of $100 or £50)
2. Valid means of Identification: e.g International passport, National ID or Drivers lincence.
3. Two (2) independent and satisfactory references (For Checking account only)
4. Two (2) recent passport photographs are required
5. Utility Bill, to verify your address
6. Resident permit (for non Nigerians)
Once you have all the above in place ,
>>Visit any Firstbank of Nigeria closest to you
>>Head straight to their customer service desk and request that you want to open a domiciliary account with them.
>>You might be asked if you already have current or saving account with them before. If you don’t, they will open one (current or saving) alongside with the domiciliary account.
>>After that, you will be given a foreign currency account opening form, and specimen signature card to complete and sign.
>>You can decide to take all the forms home , fill them properly and return back with them to submit
>>After they must have gone through the forms and make necessary corrections, you will be asked to go home.
>>Within 48-72hours, you will receive an SMS indicating that your domiciliary account has been open with your account.
>>Go back to the bank and pay in the minimum deposit to activate the account.
It is as simple as that. Receiving money in dollars, Euro and Pounds is very important if you are a blogger, online entrepreneur, PR or a freelancer.

GTB Dollar Master Card makes a lot of sense; it is what I now use for my international transactions, linked to my PayPal account without any currency restriction. If you do online business, genuine blogger or freelancer, you simply need this card.

Benefits of Getting a Dollar Master Card
>>Global Acceptance, it is accepted globally as means of payments of anything
>>It can be used to make multiple payments across POS terminals, ATMs etc
>>It is easy to use and access your current balance.

How to Get GTB Dollar Master Card?
Getting the card is as easy as ABC so long you have a DOM account with GTBank. If you don’t have a DOM account, see how you can open one for yourself here.
>>If you already have a DOM account, go to the nearest GTBank closest to you and pick the Dollar Master Card application form.
>> Ensure you have a minimum balance of $50 in your DOM account.
For Non Account Holders, please refer to the link above to see how you can open a DOM account for yourself.
My Dollar Master Card was ready for pick up after 8 working days, you’ll be notified once its ready either via email or sms, in my case I got an email to come and pick it up.

How to Activate GTB Dollar Master Card?
The moment you pick up your card, your pin will be given to you but do not change the pin YET. You’ll be required to call GTConnect on this number 1800 right inside the bank and you’ll be asked some sensitive questions like the below;

>>Date of Birth, Account Number, your last transaction, Mothers maiden name and some other sensitive questions to be sure you are the owner of the said account.
The Rep will tell you to wait for 15minute to change your pin. After 15min change your pin and after which you can start using your card anywhere in the world from Nigeria without any restriction.
GTB Dollar Master Card Charges;
· Card Issuance Fee: $20
· Annual Fee: $18
· ATM Withdrawals: $3.50 per withdrawal
· POS & Online transactions: Free
· POS cash advance: $6.25 + 0.1% of transaction amount
GTBank Dollar Master Card Transaction Limitations
ATM Withdrawal: $1000 (or equivalent in the local currency of any transaction)
POS: No Limit
Web (Online): No Limit
I know other banks too issue Dollar Card like Zenith that issue Web Surfer Card. But if you know any other Dollar Card better than this one, please use the comment to tell us about it.

Please i need a good advice on what to do.
I got an admission for Masters in Social Works at UQ (AL1 institution). Would like to find out if i have to show SOA while applying cos i intend submitting a family application.
Would appreciate a response to guide me especially from fellow applicants whom must have also applied in recent time.

Just give them exactly what they asked you for. That is your docs without SOA and English. If your case officer decides on asking you for your SOA, then you can send it.
They are alot guys that does not have strong SOA and are going for AL1 schs. If you start producing SOA when we were not asked to, you begin to jeopadize things for your fellow Nigerians.

So my own CANDID advice is that you should HOLD ON on submitting SOA until asked by your CO. Don't start a trend that other peeps wont be able to sustain, dont turn into an unwritten rule for them.

Lastly, my birth certificate carries IBEBUGWU as my surname but all other documents is IBEH. As a short of the long name.

Medicals can be done in two ways. Before applying for a visa (thou you need to complete your My Health Declarations application in order to get a HAP ID) OR when asked by your case officer to go for one. Things may get complicated if you have already applied for your visa before doing your medicals.

Biometrics can be done on same day when submitting your paper application or as soon as possible after applying online.

Not sure what you mean by radiology mate.
