My initial suggestion was that Yiu should build your account for six months

Opening Balance should not be less than ₦5million

Then end of month 1 Salary only drop into the account

Spend 1/3 as expenses keep 2/3

Do that until end of 5th month

At the start of the 6th Month, apply with you bank statement for 5 months

So let's say you want to apply at the start of June, print statement a day or two before biometrics

Let's say travel date in July, let your TB maturity date be middle of June, so it will not reflect in your account, for them to flag as large deposit.


This is what worked for me 100%

Clean 5 months plus pending FD

Now, You Begin The Documentation Aspect Which Is Most Critical . In No Order, Please Read
- Gather All Evidences Of Your Family Work( Cac, Tax, Pension, Etc)
- Proof Of Marriage
- A Letter Of Approval From Your Children School Or A Note That They Are Out Of School And Can Go On Holidays Overseas

- Proof Of Previous Trip Out Of Nigeria- Copies Of Your Canadian Visas, Etc - Note That You Are A Frequent Traveler If You Have Being To Uk, Us, Schengen , And Canada - I Think, So Do Not Register As First Timers For Your Tls Appointment - This You Can Confirm From Tls Customer Care In Advance.
- Letter Of Financial/Sponsorship Support - Duly Signed By You And Your Husband Stating That You Are Both Co-Sponsoring The Trip.
- Passport Of You, Husband, Kids - Original To Be Submitted - Also Do Copies Of Data Pages (Colored , 2 )
In Addition, You Can Take Passport Sized Photographs As Requested By The Embassy At Tls - It Cost 6k.

Congrats bro
I am planning to apply for conference. Please do you mind sharing your contact so I can ask few questions please?

firebreather:
You'll submit physical copies only. No provision for uploading anything.

Make sure to make at least two copies of all your documents before going there. The cost of photocopy is usually higher at the visa processing centres and its environs.

davodyguy:

That's why it's advisable to apply months before travel date.

I went to New Zealand precisely 1st September, 2019

I applied for Visa in June, 2019 and was granted on 5th July, 2019

Apply early

Anything can happen

freedomtours:
You are good to go..but you will need to get your o level stranscript, SS1-SS3..if you are going for Bsc. And note you will pay for verification fee at the embassy.

freedomtours:
You need to legalize your documents before applying, inorder not to be denied admission after paying 50-70£ application fee, some have been denied already this year for this year for this same purpose, we strongly advice you authenticate and legalize before applying most of the schs are serious on this...
For the course taught in English you can mail the course coordinator to inquire if can be taught in English most time they do if they have upto 3 International students that register for the course.

freedomtours:
It can be in your account, it can also be in someone account, you are using as sponsor, he or she will give you notarized sponsorship letter, including other accompanied documents.
Why we recommend POF through sponsorship is because people that applied with it last year from our angle where give visa and not everyone can afford to pay 3-4% of 15-60m of POF and sometimes getting visa approval decision takes 1-2 months. And this the one that fits those going with dependants.

Babypal:
Chief, is it possible to a friend (whose bank acc is very good) here in Nigeria but doesn’t bear my surname as a sponsor?

johnikwoyi:
Hiii application fee varies but from 250k( for one applicant though)
No you can only legalize in Abuja , the embassy
https://agendamentos.mne.gov.pt/en
Remember to verify at moe and mofa before the embassy
