Thank u so much. U have been really helpful. Having cold feet but your replies are making me more confident. One last question for now: did u have to present your legalized documents at the embassy wen applying for visa? Or the legalization is just for the school only

You're welcome
Legalization is for the school. Embassy just helps you legalize the certificates after you've booked your appointment

Okerrionome94:
Guys please do I have to legalize the letter proving that I studied in English and my eligibility letter? Because the only letter I am instructed on my profile to legalize is my waec.

No you don't
Legalize your WAEC alone

Okerrionome94:


Few questions:
* please throw more light on the cover letter
* you applied three times in three months, how did u do it because I have read on this three that booking an appointment is really crazy at the popish embassy
*how did you notarize your sponsor letter? Did he just sign on it or you took it somewhere else to sign/notarize?
* how much did the allianz insurance cost?
* does this mean having a payslip is more valid than having an account statement?

1) Already answered
2) I called the embassy like everyone else the first and third time. Second time was an appeal, you don't need to call for that. Just submit your appeal documents within 14 days after refusal
3) Go to any notary public they will do that. Sponsor signed on the sponsor letter tho
4) Almost 27k
5) You cannot use an account statement to apply for visa. For now most people use payslips or credit card certificate

How did you make accommodation reservations at bookings.com for one year. I have been trying to make reservations but I can only reserve 30 nights maximum

Reserve the 30 nights for 12 months consecutively ie after reserving 30 nights for January, reserve for February, March till you reserve for January the next year. Go for hostels that have the free cancellation option and free reservation

Please explain more on the cover letter

A cover letter basically states your intentions for your studies in Poland. Why you chose the course, the school and the country. It will help the visa officer form a better opinion of you but it is not compulsory. Lots of people got their visas without a cover letter. For cover letter samples, go online

I just want to share this to encourage someone to not give up.

I applied for Sustainable Development at the University of Warsaw, (MSc) (more of how I applied for this tuition free course in here https://www.nairaland.com/2272115/polish-student-visa/103#93008393 ) and started classes online since October. Applied for visa in November, got denied. Appealed and still got denied. The first reason for my denial was number 9 then and it had to do with my accommodation and unsigned sponsor's letter. The second reason for my denial was that the school accommodation they gave me was not up to one year.
I applied afresh on February 3rd and got visa on March 9th.

Key takeaways of what I did differently:
-I submitted a cover letter
-I used booking.com to reserve one full year accommodation
-I prayed

From my little experience, it is not only by what you submit, it is also by grace and favour. Also it's good to ask questions and join forces with like-minded people that will support and encourage you. I had a lot of them in my corner and to God be the glory, it ended in praise.

I am applying to Collegium Civitas, I have registered and profile has been created for me, i am asked to send my legalized documents after payment, where I am confused is do I need to legalize it now or send them a mail that I will legalize my doc when I go for visa application as getting appointment date for legalization isn't soon

If you can legalize it now, you should. If you can't, send them a mail

Hi can I apply for work from Nigeria to any company in Poland. If yes, pls recommend job sites for me pls

I have no idea

Blupearl:
Please does anyone know if Polish embassy conducts interviews for intending students like the German embassy.

Vlibray:

No interview

Yes there is a small Q&A these days but it is basically pertaining to things about the document you submitted like sponsor's name, your purpose of going to Poland, how much your sponsor is earning etc

No wonder your younger sister does not regard you

Kyase:
be calming down babe, na banter angelfrost dey bant, na our normal way

MANCHESTER IS RED

Let him banter with the appropriate words is all I'm saying

Angelfrost:


Yeah... Can't be my fault that you don't get banter, or even know the essence of using quotation marks around a word.

If words offend you so easily, then you might need to avoid football threads in the future.

So, just breathe before you spike your B.P for no reason! Haba!!!

Did I start following football threads today? Tell me another story

There's nothing pyrrhic about the victory (and I mean this in the form the phrase is meant to be used not that Man U's performance was spectacular or something)

Angelfrost:


I am quite sure I have never supported Chelsea in my sweet earthly existence so far...

Congrats to United fans for securing this "pyrrhic' victory, and slightly (almost insignificantly) slowing Pep's march to glory!!!

Fergie001, Kyase, Xynerise, Lamasta, Fuckingmallam45, Redblood01, Ray07

Sometimes it's better to keep quiet than show your ignorance, Manchester United's win is not a pyrrhic victory, go and look up the meaning of that phrase before you use it.

Ciao!

Omo this thread is scary

DAVE5:

There's also an icon for card payment unless it is not university of Warsaw

simplydmd:

So I talked to to my sponsor, he'sactually the CEO of my company, he said he doesn't pay himself and it means he doesn't have a payslip. But he said he can create one for me and notarized it. But the issue now is the money stated on the slip wouldn't be in his bank record. Is that a problem ?


Also, I thought about the credit card route, can he create a credit card in his name and give me the certificate? How much limit must it have?

Thank you.

Hoping to hear from you.

The credit card would be better, the amount depends on the city you want to go to. Expensive cities like Warsaw, Krakow etc the limit should be about 3-4m.

alphawolf12345:
Thank you very much! Any advice on booking an appointment? I've calledover 2000 times in two weeks.
