Please house @victorsol @DeeKeem @Tomisin I have an urgent question.

Does the Belgium embassy Currently possess student visa.

I sent a message to them and they made mention of them not currently processing student visa till further notice, I don't know if I should still book the appointment and hope that by the time the meeting comes around that student visas processions would have began

They are still processing visa.. besides you don't need to book an appointment with them, just walk into VAC and submit your application. I think submission is every Mondays and Wednesdays

I'm not sure if I understand your post or not.
But you don't need to authenticate and legalize the medical report. (Actually don't even open the sealed envelope)

Also you don't need birth certificate for study visa

No you didn’t understand.

Medical report was listed under required documents for visa processing Not for Legalization.

You can find out from the hospital to confirm price. They are usually faster than the other clinic at VI

Ministry of Education and Foreign Affairs = Authentication of result.
Belgium Embassy Abuja= Legalization
MoE- 300 per document
MFA- 500 (officially), 1k fast track
Belgium Embassy- 9.4k per document.
NB: only original documents or certified true copies. The embassy will not accept ordinary photocopies. Don't waste money authenticating photocopies.

2nd hospital 36k. You get result next day. They now operate from within another hospital in same VI but call the same phone number online first.
First hospital is 60k not 50k. You get report same day.

victorsol:


For statement of result, I think it is allowed if your school can show a proof that they have not issued original certificate for anyone.

For student copy transcript, I am sorry, the answer is no... it is not possible.

Ask school to send transcript to Legalization Section, Embassy of Belgium (Abuja). Pick it up and do the authentication (MoE/MFA) and then resubmit to Embassy for legalization. We did same for WAEC. Once you have info from your school it has been sent, wait 2 weeks and call the embassy legalization section. There is also a simpler way. Ask around.

Omo e don cost, my babe did it 50k last year

Alright

DeeKeem:


Technically you can do the fingerprints and fill the form in any major police station.
But it rarely works that way, you'll need a contact

Thank you, I have sorted it out.

Pls, kindly suggest a good courier service in Abuja for legalisation

Thank you.

Please. In my E-legalization form for the Belgian Embassy. The part they wrote “Power of Attorney “. My question is, Is that section meant for me to fill or do I require a lawyer to fill it for me?

Please is there any group I can join in other to be properly guided on getting the Belgian Visa.

I have been mailed to show up for interview for my student visa to Belgium on the 7th of July in Abuja embassy. Anyone else invited same day?

I Submitted my application at vfs office Abuja on Wednesday and was invited for interview two days later. Going by what I've read on this thread I was expecting to be invited in at least four weeks time.

Deekeem, premiercare, anyone who has been interviewed by the Belgian embassy, any advice on what to expect?

Is a waec certificate sufficient to apply for a Bsc program in Belgium?

This video nails it. 40-50minutes written, 10minutes oral interview

Yes!. You need to prove that you have the qualification to study the same course in your country.
KU Leuven requires SAT mathematics for some courses eg Business Admin/Business Engineering. Ghent/ Antwerp only WAEC, but the latter 2 has only Dutch programs so you have to do the 1 year language prep programme.
NB: while WAEC can secure you admission, the level of stuff you require for year 1 is higher. BSc is 3 years so no introductory courses like you have in Nigerian universities in year 1. Remember that Belgian students do not require admission. They register straight from secondary school to the University. So first year serves to separate the boys from the men. So, while you can get in with WAEC, doing A levels or year 1(University) here in Nigeria while processing admission will help on the long run.

Thanks for the detailed response, it seems the admission period for KU Leuven is closed, do you know any other affordable university in Belgium,?

I sent my documents about 2 weeks ago and I haven't received a mail from them.

Nice one...

Please I will like to be guided on how to apply for a school in Belgium.

Am an undergraduate and will like to study abroad.

Your inputs will be very much appreciated

Something is wrong with your documents. They will send your document back with your return FedEx/dhl envelop. Did you use any non- certified photocopies? Even if only one document has fault, they will return all for you to correct and resubmit.

I sent mine on Wednesday through FedEx. It got to the embassy Friday. I was mailed by the embassy on Monday that my documents are accepted and being processed, and was mailed again on Tuesday that they are finished with my file. I got my legalized documents back exactly a week later through the prepaid return FedEx envelope I put in the envelope when I submitted.

So 2 weeks is too long for you not to have gotten your legalized documents back. Did you follow the instructions well? Did you pay the legalization fee? Were you mailed that the embassy had gotten your documents and it's status is accepted?

Premiercare:

Exactly. Immediately the embassy gets the documents, they will send you a mail listing all the documents and stating whether it is accepted and would be treated or not.
