the amount to be paid is 215 euros... https://dofi.ibz.be/sites/dvzoe/EN/news/Pages/Contributioncoveringadministrativecostsofanapplication.aspx

and yes we have to legalise our document in other to submit, Bt wat am nt sure of is if it has to b same as before, i mean when we applied for admission,

yes the minimum monthly allowance for a sponsor MUST BE 1670+150 on each person depending on d sponsor...

so if d sponsor has a kid or two n a wife, it has to be 150 multiplied by d number of dependant...

@fikki1 what about that kamoras ? ..St Francois is 50k while kamoras is 20k thre about..plus have you done the medical and police character thingy ?

am sure of st francis(50k) d oda I really don't, and no I have not, still need to apply for d language school by April and by may or April ending depending on d school response will apply for visa, Bt I got most of my doc ready, except some few ones, which include medical n character report, moreso, I learnt from a thread, I think Germany or so DAT the character is best done in Abuja, even wen u apply in lag, its still sent to Abuja, so y not do all in Abuja.
police report, insurance, medical, and submission of all, after all, you will still need go to Abuja for interview, and pls can you confirm if one truly need ticket booking.. Hopin to hear first info from you oo, yhu are ahead now bro.. @name hope yours is gathering too..
cheers

I learnt the medicals can also be done at kamorass specialist clinic(20k) in lagos here..and is insurance one of the requirements ?..
Am already on the police character thingy tho..
For the ticket booking, i think it should be done after the approval of one's visa.
Applications are submitted in person at Abuja thereafter doing the facial and finger scan..and later on will be called for an interview which is compulsory for student visa

pursue higher education in a private educational establishment (article 9).

documents and by the Embassy of Belgium. For more information on legalization check:
http://diplomatie.belgium.be/nigeria/
All files must consist of one set of original documents + 2 complete sets of clear, legible
photocopies of every original document submitted (passport included).

be paid before submitting the visa application.

attestation by the relevant higher education establishment authorizing the
student to register at the end of the preparatory year) – (article 58) or
 Attestation of registration in a program of courses of higher education in a private
educational establishment together with a motivation letter (article 9).
 Proof that you satisfy the conditions for access to higher education – These

 Attestation of an official Nigerian institution i.e. TETFUND
 The commitment that charge will be taken (Annex 32) together with proof of
regular income of the sponsor.
Your sponsor is resident in Belgium:
The sponsor must register the commitment that charge will be taken with the
municipal administration which dates the document and legalizes his signature.
The student will submit this sponsorship form together with his visa application.
He will also submit:
- copy of the identity card/residence permit of the sponsor
- details of the family structure
- documents proving the sponsor has sufficient regular income to honor his
commitment towards the student (see below ‘documents proving regular
income’)
Your sponsor is resident in the student’s country of residence:
The sponsor must register the commitment that charge will be taken with the
Belgian Embassy/Consulate competent for his place of residence, which will date
the document and legalize his signature. The student will submit this sponsorship
form together with his application. He will also submit:
- copy of the identity card of the sponsor
- details of the family structure
- documents proving the sponsor has sufficient regular income to honor his
commitment towards the student (see below ‘documents proving regular

the document and legalize his signature. The sponsor will also submit documents
proving he has sufficient regular income to honor his commitment towards the
student (see below ‘documents proving regular income’). The consulate
stamps the commitment that charge will be taken ‘Sufficient solvency’ when it
considers that the sponsor does indeed have sufficient resources to take charge
of the student.

Attention: the visa application must contain the legalized sponsorship
form. If the sponsorship form in the visa file is not legalized by the Embassy prior
to submission of the file, the sponsor will not be contacted and the visa will most
probably be refused.
for the academic year 2015-2016 the sponsor needs to prove a regular income of
at least 1617€ monthly. (617€ for the student + 1000€ for the sponsor himself +
if applicable 150€ for every person already dependent on the sponsor).
 If you are over 21 (article 58) or over 18 (article 9), a certificate attesting the lack of
any convictions for crimes or offences under common law issued not more than six
months prior to the date of application (police character certificate). This document
has to be legalized.
 A medical certificate issued by a Belgian Embassy approved medical doctor issued
not more than six months prior to the date of application. Please check the list of
approved medical practitioners.
Documents should be arranged in the above order and be followed by their copies in the
same order.
Additional documents may be requested by the Embassy and most applicants will be
invited for an interview.
Please submit your application in time to avoid any disappointment. Generally a decision
will be taken within 4 months after submission of the application. In some cases this
period can take up to 8 months.
The above mentioned type D visa is a national long stay visa and requires registration in
the Belgian population registers on arrival.

incomplete file often results in a visa refusal.

If i understand your questions very well, it means proof of payment of national social insurance which when an employer goes on retirement it is refunded to him as pension. I hope it is clear now brother.

Bros, social contribution is tax and maybe insurance of the business. So he should provide documents that is biz is registered and tax paid, and insurance too. I hope this helps. Other gurus in the house can add something.
Thanks

Names4: I apply for the master program at Ghent university but was denied recently due to none legalization of my bsc cert and transcript via MOF, MOE and the embassy. But I have admission already for bachelor program and preparatory language program at Ghent last year paid for the program but I'm looking at my age for d bachelor. What are my chances at the embassy with my age 1982... Do I need to tell the embassy I have bsc already or do as if I I'm new to bachelor.... If I can make it there I can apply for my master program directly after my dutch preparatory program. I need advise on this issue house

I think the embassy does not check ur age for visa application for study purpose. What u need to convince them is that u are really going to Belgium to study whether at what age. So package ur self well for the interview and or questionaire usually ask to fill in during visa application. And also package your application documents for visa very well.

It shall be well. Other gurus in the house can add or subtract something from this.

Thank you all.

Please Sir , what is the name of this particular school with tuition less than 1k euros?

@Ademola*..This is Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)..plus the tuition is more than a thousand euro o..ie 230+(11*120)=€1550..since your course is 120 load units in all.
Thats how the tuition is calculated.
Other gurus on here will elucidate in this
