veramani31: Then why are you asking since you know it’s not a requirement I was not the person that asked the question originally. It is not compulsory but people do it, just because we didn’t do it doesnt mean others can’t do it. Pls do it if you have the time and money as it legitimize your documents better. It makes it more easy to verify your documents….. it is not a requirement but it’s advisable to do it. Everything nah 50/50 so do anything to up your chance ma/sir |

Olulana06: For those that have registered on the ISD… I couldn’t because I already submitted my original passport. What are the stages for application?
And does under processing the same as application received? You guys should not stress yourself about it too much until you get a response. We all know the waiting period is the most intense and annoying part when this people don’t follow their own time, mind you they never do. So does of you that can raise a query with them on the ISD portal should and wait for response. It’s not easy but there’s nothing else we can all do aside wait and pray. |

MemeOg: The school doesn’t have a January intake. It’s just September Ah, email the school and ask them for when their late resumption is? If they have late resumption for October 20 something, you can risk and apply tops within a week and if they don’t, you will have to defer to the next intake and apply for the next intake but pls ask the school if they have any other intake before September as some of they usually have for April/may |

MemeOg: Hi everyone. Just wanted to get your opinions. Do you think it’s still a good time to reapply after a refusal. I’m concerned about them not giving a decision before resumption. If it’s for this September intake, do not try it but you can apply for January 2027 |

Vee04: Hello, Please I have some questions to ask about the police character document needed for the visa application 1) is it compulsory? 2) should the police character report be on education because I saw a format for what they do for those going to UK they either write for education or employment. So I am just asking for clarity, thank you My brother, pls add it if you can Dont let anyone tell you otherwise |

Jamolodeen: Before I used someone I know in Ireland address and when they refused the application they didn’t state that as part of the reason. Ireland visa refusal rate is high and everything has to be airtight if you’re submitting a new application. |

Jamolodeen: Ohh please can you send an email or point me how to send you an email. I’d like for us to discuss so you can direct me how to go about the police thingy. Yeah, my document were scanned and returned back to me immediately, the only thing they return back was the money I paid. So, I don’t think they’d have to returned any document back to me. Sorry but they returned your money?? What money if I may ask?? |

Jamolodeen: Hi everyone, I’ve been contemplating whether I should withdraw the appeal I submitted about two weeks ago. I submitted through the new process where documents are scanned and uploaded at VFS, which I understand started around December 2025. After coming here and seeing many people advise against appealing after submission, I honestly felt a bit discouraged and sad. So I wanted to ask if anyone here has submitted an appeal this year using this new process. If you have, please let me know how long you’ve been waiting so far and how the process has been for you. Also, I’ve seen people mention a Police Character Certificate. Is it compulsory or necessary for reapplication? I’m trying to plan properly in case I decide to reapply. I’d really appreciate any recent experiences or advice. Thank you. Pls, what were reasons given for the refusal? |

Jamolodeen: Please how can I get this police character thing? Must it be police station? Also, this accommodation invoice I’d have to pay before I get the invoice or just by booking without paying? You are not paying on booking.com, you will just book it but you will have to input your card details and you can cancel anytime… get any accommodations maybe for a month or two that your proof of funds will cover, something cheap |

Jamolodeen: Do you know how long it takes them to withdraw an application? Like if I send a mail today when is the earliest they’d act on it. The police stuff is online, you pay and you go for capturing and get it that same day sha. Withdrawing appeal takes around 3days and maybe a week to get your documents back if you’re not in Abuja. You said all the documents for your appeal were scanned and uploaded, does that mean they gave you back does documents or what?? |

I sent an email to the insurance company that I wanted to move the date and they told me the policy was canceled due to my visa refusal. How did they even know my visa was refused if not that the agent did. I asked them who canceled and when. They told me I will need to contact my agent for that. lol By brother paid thr money himself that time but I initiated the transaction and added his card for the deduction. I emailed them my visa refusal and told I will like to shift it to a later date as I am trying to reapply if it’s possible and they ask me for the date and they did it Finish. |
