Akinsu:
Guys, I didn’t do any English Language Test but I get a mail from the Visa Officer for me to provide an evidence of English Test taken and my Birth Certificate. I was able to provide a proficiency in English Language Letter from my School and my birth certificate. Would that be sufficient?

Try consider Duolingo test. It is simple, cheap and fast. You can get your test result in less than 5days.

Dwebb55:


You can get some documents that bear the names of the deceased, maybe the death certificate and a few other things. Then when you add your own birth certificate, it should have a space for where your parents name are clearly stated which should correspond with the names on the other documents. This should suffice!

I couldn't get the "Will of my grandpa" but I got the obituary news paper publication that has the names of the children in it. I will also include their death certificates in there to support it. Hope this works out?

Dwebb55:


My 2 cents on this is to advise you to not proceed! The stories coming out of there are not too good. If you research well, Ireland and UK are really good options now.

worst part is I already deposited $1500 and they can't give it back unless you are denied visa. I'm not trying to back off because you said so, it's been on my mind.

For anyone coming to Ireland for Undergraduate courses age doesn't matter

This is to establish that you have access to your tuition and living expenses for the duration of your programme.

I made a third class, what is expected of me ? if you fall within this category, you are encouraged to apply for a top up or a higher Diploma course which an equivalent of a premasters, these programmes runs for one year respectively .This will cost 9,850Euros.

I have HND, what is applicable to me? For HND, you just have the top up alternative as no school in Ireland would acknowledge HND for PGD or bosses. The tuition cost for this 9,850Euros.

Age matters for undergraduate program especially if the person is older than 23 and has a gap of at least 2 years without any tangible qualifications and work experience.

As much as we are trying to assist probably based on your experience studying in Ireland, some of us do get trained or updated by the Irish Embassy at least twice a year and to the best of my knowledge there is an age limit on undergraduate admissions. You cant be 30 years with just WAEC that was obtained 10 years ago and say you want to start from year 1.

Things that applied to your professor years ago aren't applicable at the moment.

I know a lot of people like me and they were given visa to USA etc
The only problem is you have to demonstrate to them, what you have been doing since your high school

The caveat here is that you'd not apply for a study visa from Nigeria.

It's not impossible but from recent trends, a positive visa application outcome will have a very low probability after factoring in a > 22 years age for undergraduate study.

seunny4lif:
I'm start college this month and am more than 30 years
I only have my WASSE and CV
I know a lot of people like me and they were given visa to USA etc
The only problem is you have to demonstrate to them, what you have been doing since your high school

On that Yes
You sounded before like its not possible
That's the reason I said earlier the person must give a valid reason for waiting over 10 years before going to back to college.
Its easy for people with IT background than others

Access to 20million after paying fees? How's that even possible.... that's almost 44,000 euro, as how? When its just 7k euro that is required to cover your upkeep.

I'm hearing this for the first time o and I don't think u are totally right

Preye21:

Are you going for undergraduate or post graduate ?@Preye21

As much as some think they are experts , please carry out personal research.

Undergraduate honors in the UK is 3 years excluding foundation .

For IReland its 4 years . Ordinary BSc is 3 years. You cant proceed to a masters program in Ireland if you obtain an ordinary bsc as compared to BSc honors.

Its important to say some colleges have 3 years BSc honors but kindly be sure of what you're applying for and what is expected of you please.

Someone who does not need to apply from Nigeria may get away with some things as compared to ordinary Nigerians who have to go through the visa application stage. E.g American citizens dont need to apply for visa to study in Ireland likewise few African countries e.g SA

Guys does the embassy contact you if your visa has been approved or how would you be notified ? Thanks

It’s better to mention me than to make it indirectly
Now back to the topic here
What I posted was from DBS, you can read it again
I insisted you can a visa as a mature Student over the age of 25 years.
So madam

Congratulations mate.

When applying for the Edubond, did you use a domiciliary account or the Form A? If you used the domiciliary account, did you have to provide the statement of account for that domiciliary account as well?

Chibabe4Christ:
Thank you very much
My first application was for February intake so I submitted in October 2019.
Got refused in December 2019
Appealed that same December 2019
because of covid, I didn't hear anything from them even when I sent several mail, notting from the embassy so I lost hope since they were not answering. To my greatest surprise my visa was approved 2nd week embassy was opened in July and I got my kpali in August hahhahaaa....
It can only be GOD ooooo

NOTE: For those that are appealing, if you think you are behind the scheduled time for your academic session, do not be in a hurry, you can request for a new offer letter for the next academic session from your international officer so that VO will will not capitalise on the reason that your school will soon start to deny you again.
That was what I did in my own case. My initial application was for February intake but I got a new offer letter and invitation to register for September intake, appealed and got approved.

I hope this helps
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to open euro account and transfer 7045 euro because they will subtract some charges from the money so if you send 7000euro the money will not be up to 7000euro after removing some charges and that will reflect on the receipt they will give, Remember Irish embassy demands we pay 7000euro for EDUBOND.
I hope I answered the question

Try consider Duolingo test. It is simple, cheap and fast. You can get your test result in less than 5days.

So while I followed instructions I got here to do the Duolingo test, I already paid and was about to do the test when I got another mail from the Visa office asking me to do Duolingo actually. I did it yesterday and I’m waiting for the results so I can forward to the Visa Office. I just hope that the only requirement I need to be approved since that’s all they requested for

I used First Bank of Nigeria (FBN)

Good evening house, concerning the 14days isolation: Is it compulsory to use the accommodation provided by the school or can one get an accommodation outside the school? If one can get an accommodation outside the school, please, how can I go about it?

This is the one provided and it’s too expensive for just two weeks
