Sholsp baba the silent man. How far.

You don get accommodation?

My advice for those that are yet to receive their visa is to be patient and optimistic. This is peak period for the Irish embassy in Abuja right now and they do not have many visa officers. Many applications has been moved to Dublin for processing especially those that sumitted late.

So nobody here got visa this week?
This thing Irish embassy is doing is very depressing

Hmm....Question? How does UK handle over 100,000+ study visa applications from Nigeria alone during peak periods and still maintain Three Weeks Turnaround period?

It's not funny. Some here have received deferral notice from school programme coordinators to forego starting programme this September as lectures have already begun.

Possible Implications?
• another €500 deferral charge
• €160 insurance wasted (will have to be purchased again)
• €400 booking charges for residence possibly gone (admin charges will come in where refund is possible)
• possible 10% admin charges for fees paid during refund
• possible N46, 950 visa fees wasted
• wasted One Year (huge and impacts ones goals/progress)
• emotional trauma & pains
• etc..etc..etc...etc

Either this is deliberate or a case of gross incompetence. Either way, we bear the brunt and the losses/pains that comes with these frustrating delays and screwed up visa process!!!

Saying as it is...

The school I applied to has already begun and i have not gotten my visa I applied for since July. Tbh it is very frustrating and depressing

I really don't know what else to do. If I don't hear from the embassy by Monday. Then I have more problems to deal with. This is just very unpleasant. My school resumed on Monday too. Submitted on 11th July and the embassy received on the 12th. So I sincerely don't get the delay.

In short the UK makes 165k to 500k on each visa application. They've earn alot over the years and also learnt alot. Ireland went from 800 apps in 2018 to over 3000 apps in 2019 with the same number of staff in Abuja.

Its very frustrating but the UK 2 years psw came at the right time. They have no choice than to sit up and step up their game.

Am however interested in your 180 euros for medicover. How come ? Standard is 150 euros

You have raised valid questions and I understand you bro...... currently I think it's just eight visa officer that attends to visa application and also remember that some African countries visa application are proccessed here in naija. My international officer was the one who mentioned that so many application have been moved to Dublin for processing ( those that submitted around middle of July). That's why you're advised to submit very early before resumption date to allow time for any eventualities.

So 12th of July isn't still early enough? This is simply gross incompetence on their part to be honest. To think that I still used an education bond to make the process faster just annoys me. I let a 50% fee scholarship from Teesside University go because i was chasing the "Irish dream". NCI gave an extension to the 21st so if they don't respond this week then I've wasted money for nothing. Sad, very sad

I sent them a mail. Called severally but it doesn't even connect nor ring.

Same here. But don't give up. Let's all wait till Monday.

You can also use student copy since its the school that gave o you.. at most they will confirm from the school but you will need to notarise it to make a legal and official document.

samhardy:
Hello house, I appreciate the concise info this thread has given out to help student visa processing easier for those coming to Ireland to study...
I have a questions I need someone here to help me answer, I applied 4 my university transcript but d uni TLD me they can't give me the original copy except they send it over to the higher institution that requires it
but there is a student copy that can be handed over to me. My question is CAN I USE A TRANSCRIPT (STUDENT COPY) TO APPLY FOR SCHOOL ADMISSION & VISA? WILL THE IRELAND EMBASSY ACCEPT A STUDENT COPY TRANSCRIPT FOR VISA APPROVAL? Anyone who can help me with genuine info!

@breezy147, how are you? your emoji,s and emphasis on silent reader is rather insinuative.you should understand there would be a lot to do with settling in and all.yes i still bump in to this forum from time to time to learn stuffs which the forum is for.you no go just dey comment if u no get anything to talk na abi? God go answer everybody prayer.

We dont need to cast all blame to Irish Embassy.. They know how their system works and has clearly stated that all application should be sent 8weeke of processing time, some could not adhere due to unforeseen circumstances.
Abeg atimes we need to heed to instructions, knowing well that they do not have Naija mentatlity.

Standard Medicover - €160 my bad
180 was a mistake

But we also have a lot in the bracket of 9wks+ who haven't gotten their visas or a reasonable update up till now. Is that a case of not heeding to instructions or the Naija mindset

If it takes them longer and Irish schools understand, then it is not a problem.

But when your programme coordinator tells you to defer and get to pay another 200k+ (€500) as deferal charge + other losses cos of visa delays....then that becomes a Big problem and most unfair!!!

Try calling between 10am to 12pm, it might be busy but keep try and include your application number when you send a mail

To all those screaming and accusing the Irish embassy of gross incompetence, I bet you all didn't read the part where you were told to apply at least 12 weeks to the resumption of your programs.
So because you submitted an application in August for a program that starts in September, they should abandon every other application on their hands and attend to yours?

Let's all play our parts first before spewing thrash and bugging them with calls. The rules are clear!

It says you "can" apply 3 months before your intended travel date, they didn't say you "must/should" its not a rule.The standard processing time is 8 weeks unless your case is special.
This your post is very insensitive because there are many of us who submitted between the 1-12th of July who haven't received a decision yet while a lot of people who submitted 17th upwards have gotten theirs. For the life of me I can't understand how that happened unless somebody made a clerical error they aren't owning up to. I bet you're probably in Ireland that's why you're saying all this. This is clearly an error on their part, so please evaluate whatever opinions you might have before you lay blame on applicants who are simply being frustrated due to the ugly situation we find ourselves in. Peace
