what about NDLEA certificate?

Thanks, Good if you submitted Black and white of VAL and admission letter and they didn't ask you for the original to confirm, that means it's not compulsory, and we can use a scanned copy or were u asked of the original

zaimeg:
My VAL was delivered on Friday. I was at the embassy today. I have to get a late registration letter from the school as the date of candidature is September 1st . Other documents were accepted. I should get it and send to them by latest Thursday.

Good, pls can u list the documents u submitted ? And how many days did it take you to get the letter from when it was shown on Emgs portal that it has been couriered, the sch already sent me a scanned copy tru my email which I av printed and it looks very original, are they insisting on the original copies? And what's the name of your sch pls?

So who's in abuja for Visa now? And has ur VAL letter been delivered to you,I have not gotten mine, that's what is d only thing still keeping me away fromthe embassy in abuja

Jayne2014:
Please who has been to the embassy recently that can confirm this NDLEA requirement for students?

I know some1 that just travelled dis August, I can confirm to you that For masters u don't need NDLEA cert and letter of eligibility although the guy told me today that he was asked in school to get d letter of Eligibility from d Nigerian Embassy in malaysia as part of the registration requirements but for undergraduate and diploma u need it to get visa here at d embassy, my VAL just got approval some minutes ago, I hope I can receive d letter dis week and head up to Abuja next week, we should meet up in Abuja next week by God grace

Please as a student can you book one way flight to Malay without no issues with d immigration at d Airport?

Please as a student can you book one way flight to Malay without no issues?

Jayne2014:
I sent my documents to a friend in abuja who helped process it. It took about one week. I don't know the procedures.

Please are you going for Masters or undergraduate?

Gbangbalicious:
okay, I already went to the office of Ministry of Education in My state. And I had to submit some docs for verification, paid a certain amount and I was told to check back in a few days to collect the eligibility letter.

I stand to be corrected it i'm wrong, I think the only acceptable letter of Eligibility is the one from d Ministry of Education Head office in Abuja, neva heard of LOE from d state ministry, pple I know send it to abuja and it's something u can get within a day if u know ur way

Jayne2014:

zaimeg:
I did my eligibility letter in February. It took about one week. I dunno if it is compulsory but I did it to fulfill all righteousness.

Masters or undergraduate?

Gbangbalicious:
@barleeh, I think you need it because if u check the requirement for student visa on the Malaysia embassy site you will see it as part of the documents to be submitted for issuing visa.you cab check the site to confirm.

i know, I uploaded it on this site, No, Got a friend that travelled recently, yu don't need later of eligibility for masters

Gbangbalicious:
have you collected the certificate of eligibility? If yes, wat are the procedures and duration? Thank you.

i'm going for masters I don't need it

Jayne2014:
80%, VAL has been approved and posted. I should get it next week.

Congrat, Happy for u , Straight to ABJ next week den

Jayne2014:
The application wasn't processed until recently.

howfa with ur VAL application?

mezcri:
Thanks so much. I already have a dorm account. I will use that method then. I really don't have anyone trustworthy in Malay. I would have used that method.

why don't u wait till u get to malay b4 u pay, it's not compulsory u pay from Nija, u can just withdrawal directly from Atm in malay, u just go with more than 1 ATM, or find some1 to do western union or money transfer to u from Nigeria in dollars, it's abit cheaper than buying dollars, depends on d fee u try to pay tho, if it's upto $5K, I will advise u to just buy dollar and transfer

mezcri:
Please, I wanna ask. With the current economic situation and forex policies, what is the best method to send school fees to Malaysia.
Also, why is it that we always have to send money in dollars.
Thanks.

From my little Experience, opening a domiciliary account, buy dollars from the parallel market at a very expensive rate, Fund ur dorm acct and transfer to the school with ur phone is the safest, Fastest, easiest, but very expensive, d last time I tried it I paid abt $80 dollars as bank charges for just transferring $370 to the sch, don't even think of form A unless u have like abt 5months to spare, the process is very frustrating, I tried it, I was debited and they told me the transfer didn't go through, my money disappeared for almost a month before it was refunded, a very better option is to tell somebody to pay for u over there on ur behalf, u can credit is acct in naira and e will withdrawal it with ATM in malay and pay for u,its a little cheaper than buying dollars from mallam + Bank charges, but dis process is risky if u don't know the person u dealing this, E might just disappear with ur money, so find some1 u know very well and u can track down easily

Truth234:
I think it is better to travel with your ATM since you will be doing your withdrawal at bank rate, which is much better than the parallel market rate.

Thank you bro

Truth234:
Asia Pacific University?

Yh, just kiddn ,I know d sch exist but I'v don't really hear people talking abt it, l just have d impression that only few nigerians are heading there

mezcri:
Please, Who here is for APU? (Asia Pacific University)

i'av neva seen, heard or ever come across any similar name of a sch like dat in malaysia, d sch must be a special sch 4 special folks

Please Is it possible to change naira to ringgit in malaysia,if I go with naira to malay, and I think it would be better withdraw in malaysia with d atm that buying dollar at 405/$, @Truth234, @allhavesinned pls gimme d break down, if i'm to withdraw like 5K ringgit from atm in malay,like how much would I be charge as bank charges, how much is d maximum withdrawal per day and month and pls update me on other best,cheapest, easiest and fastest option to receive money from nigeria e.g western union or money gram etc , Thanks

mezcri:
Please what documents do they ask for at embassy when you have VAL

pls
Check page 8-9 of this thread already posted it

Jayne2014:
Mine has been that way since 29th July. How long has yours been?

i'v checked progresses of many applications online, it takes a little while mostly take a week plus or 2weeks with d immigration but d good thing is ur next update u gonna get is VAL approved, ur application is on d verge of being approved, so start packaging ur visa document and start celebrating in advance

Jayne2014:
I think this is okay. Send it to the visa official in your school as soon as possible via mail.

Thank you, have sent it to both EMGS and the sch

Jayne2014:
Exactly the same story they told me. They also said that my passport details page wasn't clear. I went to a studio to snap a new passport photo. Just make sure that the photo is on a blue background and not edited with photoshop. It's preferable that they use umbrella flash to eliminate shadow.
I scanned mine and sent to my school who forwarded it to emgs. They took almost four days to confirm receipt of the documents.

Thank you, what do u think abt dis new 1?

Jayne2014:
No, still at 15%. They said some documents are incomplete. I have sent new documents but they are yet to acknowledge. How far with yours?

pls what additional documents do the require from u and did u send it by email? Mine is also at 15% now and they are telling me they need another photo, Please note that the photo submitted does not meet the EMGS requirement. The photo must be free from any shadow on the face. Kindly submit a new photo for i-Kad processing.

They changed everything abt VDR on Upm website including the account number to pay in to, they now expect us to apply directly to EMGS and pay into their acct directly, my application has been on 0% for more than 2weeks now, the sch has not sent my documents to EMGS and payment, I don't even know whatsup with them again,and it's getting late already

deligatus:
i had a friend in malaysia that did it for me and i paid him here in nigeria

Lucky u, how much is naira to ringgit on atm withdrawal in Malaysia now?

deligatus:
the school said dae where undergoing upgrading to a universiti level n couldn't proceed with the VAL application payment n doc submission wit emgs

Ehya,it dosent make sense at all, u should av been told much earlier

Jayne2014:
Sorry for your troubles. Mine just showed up on the website on Monday. They said that they made changes to the system, hence the delay.

thank's, Mine also popped up on Monday, Ehya I just hope they process it asap before registration starts, I read it on thier website that it takes 14working days after they receive the complete documents and payment
