ICaSNg:



Banks require a return ticket before they can sell FX and I think max amount is 4000 USD so weigh out cost implications of a return ticket well. Futhermore, if you don't intend using the return ticket make sure the ticket is refundable.

Lunette:
It's fine Yasiin,
Sorry for the late response, just seeing this.

Well, I personally funded my Barter account, then funded my Dollar card with $200, I had about $9 left when I was done making payments.

So my naira account was not directly charged. I hope this helps.

juniior:


Thanks for this information. Why applying for the visa did you include any other financial document apart from the education bond? Did you include bank statement with big money?

Floyd45:
Anyone in Cork that has shared accommodation available. Thanks

Dwebb55:


Yes to all with complete explanation of any lump sum N100k and above, for me and my sponsor

Sarto:


Did you explain with receipt of payment attached for all transactions you received in your statement of account from 100k or just ordinary explanation in the letter?

Dwebb55:


Not all the transactions will have receipts. But you still have to explain them once they are N100k and above. For the ones that have receipts, explain them and attach the receipts. For the rest, the explanation will suffice

Sarto:

16 days...

Go to any courier service office and arrange for them to go to the embassy and pick up the documents for you.

Please how long did it take for them to reply you that on your appeal?

Skiller2421:

I have been a silent follower of this thread and I must say that all the information anyone needs regarding Irish study is here! I applied for visa second week of July and by God's grace my visa was approved recently. Please if you are new to this thread, plan to read through from page 1 to the current page. It may appear stressful, but I tell you, it contains a lot of credible information as regards how to go about your application. So make out time to look through this thread as I feel every possible question has been covered.

I want to also mention that it is important one learns to be proactive about his/her application. If you have applied, don't wait for notification by email, call or sms before you begin checking the status of your application online. Weekly decisions are released every month here: https://www.dfa.ie/irish-embassy/nigeria/our-services/visas/weeklydecisionreports and sometimes you may not even get an email or phone call when your visa is out. So it is your duty to monitor and know when it is released and work towards getting your documents back.

For those applying for visa, please ensure you have every document mentioned for your visa type in hand. And make extra two copies of each. Also arrange them in order to avoid confusion when submitting. I was fortunate to have one of the staff at the VFs office help me, it was a lot of documents to handle at once, so better arrange them separately before going as some of them don't have patience to wait once it's your turn. Also include as much certifications or awards as you can as supporting documents in your application. Other information as regards what to submit on this thread are true. But still check this site: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to-study-in-ireland/what-are-my-study-visa-options/how-to-apply-for-long-term-study-visa/ . And please don't lie in your application. Best bet to be honest!

Above all else, after submitting last month, it was prayer season. Prayers work! Pray about it to the God you believe in.

I want to specially thank ICasNg and every other person who has made useful contributions to this thread. God bless you all and please say a prayer for me as I begin this next phase of my life. I wish everyone still applying or expecting a decision success in their endeavors!
