thanks for the tip...
My sponsor (my dad) has 8000 euros in his personal account , he doesn't have a business account but he makes close to 15million per anum ..am I safe ? Or should he add more money to the account ? Thanks

Hello you’re very welcome.
Does your father run a business or is a salary earner?
In my case, my sponsor earns close to 200 million Naira, a year. He runs a very big business so I had to show a business bank statement show evidence of income, like, contracts. I included landed documents worth 113 million Naira also.

8,000 euros in sponsors personal account
Tuition paid.
Evidence of income. You should be good.

I am sharing my experience with anyone who needs hope. I have been refused twice by the Irish Embassy, due to simple details and documents not included

First Refusal
No signature on letter of application
Approval from second shareholder to use company funds.
Lost passport affidavit
Insufficient funds in sponsors personal bank account: My sponsor ( my father) had a balance of 19 million Naira in his business bank statement and a balance of 1 million Naira in his personal bank statement. I wasn’t aware a balance of at least 7,000 euros must be in the sponsors personal bank statement. We thought funds should be in the business bank statement not personal. Do not make this mistake, be very cautious of this area. Include enough funds in the personal and business bank statements.

Also, my sponsor owns 95% of the company, the other shareholder owns 5%. We thought a letter from the second shareholder won’t be needed due to how small the shares, owned by this person. It was included in the first refusal letter, assume nothing, submit everything.

I appealed, it was refused

Reason: Letter of invite/date already passed.
My school gave me a later extension letter but a decision was made 2 weeks after that extension letter.

Third time: APPROVED!

Key take: Be patient, go through all your documents thoroughly, apply at least three months before your intended date of travel, do not assume a document will not be needed, submit everything, pray.

Cheers, To God be the Glory.

A point of light for anyone who needs it.

Hello everyone.

I applied for ireland study visa on June 9th, and I just received a call from a UPS delivery guy saying he will bring me my documents tomorrow. But I am yet to receive any email from Vfs or the embassy with regards to the decision that's been taken on my visa application.

I have also checked the website where the weekly decision reports are normally published and mine hasn't been published yet, it will most likely be uploaded on Monday.

I'd like to know if me not getting an email from vfs / the embassy is a normal occurrence.

Thanks.

First of all, congratulations in advance, hopefully, you got the visa approved, positive vibes only. You’ve ‘heard’ from the embassy by a call from the delivery guy. To my knowledge, not everyone whose visa is either approved or refused gets a notification from the Ireland Abuja Embassy.

Cheers.

Philadelphia:
When you tracked your application, did it say it was received in Abuja on the 9th of June?

Your statements about applications received June 9th have been decided upon is wrong.

Philadelphia:
What’s your proof?

The Abuja Embassy WebPage

[quote author=mike1ab post=103679664]I also sent my application on June 9 but I'm yet to get a decision from the embassy. I'm really hoping that I hear from them this week though.

We should.

Philadelphia:
Applications that were received at Abuja on the 9th of June received decisions yesterday.

You are wrong.

dapreal:
Is there anyone who submitted their application June 9 and has gotten decision yet.... ?

I submitted June, 9th also. I haven’t gotten a decision yet. From the reports page, it does seem applications submitted June 9th, is being processed this week. We should get results hopefully, next Monday.
