OK use ecowas passport and apply for UK visa if the embassy will not ask for your international passport.
Literally passport is passport because it gives the details of your identification but they're exemptions to it.

Didn't you notice that everybody ignored the sabi sabi mallam

Sunkyapogee:
Even if it's 10k am not coming.

10k plenty naa

stanisbaratheon:
Sometimes we encourage corruption in this country. On the Immigration website, the cost of applying for international passport is 25k and we know this but some of us will still go there and break the bank. We no longer believe in standing our ground to demand for what is right.

You see people paying as high as 50k for the international passport. Smh

I'm tempted to ask you to pleeeease shut up!
But last last na you get your mouth.
Who knows if you're from Togo

otiokpo:
We have 32 page 5yr validity passport 64 page 5yr validity passport and 10yrs validity passport

You're wrong sir There's 10 pages now sef
Lol... can't believe you took me seriously on that occasion

EndyO42:
Biko, can I get info from someone that has done this successfully?

Done what exactly successfully?

Kennydoc:
15 pages keh. What of 5 pages?

There's 15 pages naa...
In fact, there should be 2 pages, cos guys now just want to knack out and stay out - no need for more than one page sef cos it's 1-way traffic outta this sh!t hole

Change of details on passport comes in different categories, some are almost impossible.
There are also requirements you have to present before you will be considered.
Change of name due to marriage or divorce must be accompanied with your application and evidence of marriage and divorce.

Any other reason for change of details on your passport is must also be accompanied with an application in that regard and documents backing up your claim
Your application must state the reason why you are changing details on your passport
It could be spelling error, change of faith, family resolution, adoption and name rearrangement.

Whatever reason you are giving must be accompanied with a corresponding convincing document backing up your claim.

Yea, he said the same thing. Those are the formal requirements. At the end of the day, the guy I went with presented Sworn Court Affidavit and Newspaper publication, paid the 150k and got the passport in about 1 week. He changed his surname entirely, his former surname became middle name, and just combined his other names into one. But he got it done.
So, basically, the rules are there, but the backdoor is always there for everybody to get what they want.

holuwasheyiWGP:
Who knows if it's possible to change the age on your passport?
Kindly quote me if you have an idea of how much it'd cost and the requirement.

That's supposed to be complicated, maybe even impossible. But I had someone with a similar issue and we visited NIS just to satisfy curiousity. To my surprise, we met a connect there who is a mid-level immigration officer. He said all that's required is sworn court affidavit and 150k. This was like in 2017 ooo... But I still have his number cos I linked my sister who got married and changed her names. He actually did it for her in one day. Walking away from there, I was heavily under the impression that even without court affidavit, they'll be happier cos it'll be an excuse to charge more.
Bottom line: Nothing is impossible in this jungle called Nigeria. Just have the money and they'll change your complexion too on your passport!

TianaR:
Hello.Please how long does my passport need to be valid for when applying for visa.My passport is expiring April can I apply for visa with it this January or I should renew?

You're kidding, right?
Have you bothered to simply read through the visa requirements on their website?
We really shouldn't employ people's disposition to help as an excuse to be lazy, cos this is probably the easiest information to find in the world. Smh...
Anyways, you need at least 3 months validity from the expected time of your "return."

Lind2:
Lol. I was trying with mtn, glo and 9mobile but I got through with the glo line

Bro howdy
Yo man do you gat any generous tips for how to get that appointment locked down via phoning in?
From my readings here, seems like one heck of a mountain to climb.

Cutealexio:
When filling the visa application form the space that says (first Schengen entry country) will it be Poland or the country I'll have stopover? According to my itinerary my stopover will be in Germany..... Please it's urgent

Poland

kc6964:
Okay thanks. I guess same way i will use to pay the application fee just wish i can pay everything at once to save me time

I doubt you have any other choice. The institution you applied to must have specified how they want their payments i.e. there should be bank account details to send funds to. But if they have provided a variety of options, that's when you could be having this conversation.

kc6964:
Thanks alot . I know of someone that use zenith bank transfer and it took 2weeks before the school confirm d payment

Usually bank wires take about 3 business days, but that's banks playing it safe. Sometimes they arrive the same business day, or the next. Now when the school decides to confirm is a whole other discussion, cos sometimes they get these funds, but whoever is in charge of verification may need to clear the hangover from vodka before they get to work again
9ja banks too have their own brand of craze.

kc6964:
Good morning Fam.. Please what is the best method and fastest way to pay tuition?

The best may not be the fastest, and vice versa.
Besides, if, as I imagine, you're referring to Polish institutions, most of them are pretty specific about their lean toward bank wire. Else, methinks card payments are convenient and instant, albeit issues with linking the payment to the particular student may pop up. Or not. Idk...
Last last sha, bank transfers win the vote.

SetZ:
Happy New year FAM please your bro still need help oo how this booking go be on the 7th I don't have money oo just honest help to book this appointment please help a brother out

Lol I don't understand you don't have money
As in, you need someone to help you go through all that sh!t for nothing??
Anyways, I'm kinda certain you're just kidding

Amanee:
The national visa can allow you stay in Schengen countries for some weeks, not too sure. If you want to apply for study visa, it's the national d-type

I guess all's well after all

Amanee:
Choose national visa (D type)

Yuck that just murdered like 50% of Poland's allure in an instant!
All the while I'd been under the impression that applicants all get the Schengen visa. Damn

Amanee:
I apologize for the omission Mr brainbucksng you can't blame me, your moniker is a mouthful fingerfull... No enmity intended

Wait what? Lol that's classic.

Ah here we go again...
Yea just tack a "Mr" on me all day

Amanee:
Like someone said, you shouldn't have a problem after sending the original to Nigeria. The embassy doesn't care where you're located, just have enough income to cover your sibling's study

You ought to embrace amity, ditch "someone," and start addressing me more personally i.e. Amanee referenced me without referring to me...
See? Easy!

Hardefillar1:
Good
At least I have someone from here I can hang out with
You’re welcome
Let me know specifics when you’re coming

For your studies, was it a [D] National Visa you were granted, or the [C] Schengen Visa?

emajebi:
Hi, we're currently trying to get my sister a study visa to Poland. She's currently taking her classes online due to COVID. We applied earlier in November, but we got rejected on the grounds that we did not submit the original of my sponsor letter. I live in Canada so I wasn't able to send the physical copies. We're applying again and I was able to mail my sponsor letter, proof of employment letter and pay stubs to them through DHL. I'm just wondering if they have an issue with sponsors that are not in Nigeria or if they'll start questioning whether the latter's are original or not. Has anyone else done this with a sponsor who isn't in Nigeria?

Since you already couriered the said items, all should be copacetic.
Even if there's doubts about any authenticity, I'm sure your documents have reachable contacts that can help with verification.
All in all, you're on track, no worries.

Canterbury:
I just realized that the course I applied to is taught in polish, first, it wasn't stated anywhere in the website that it is taught in polish.

I am considering taking another course, though I don't like it.

My question now is, how flexible is it to change course in poland when you have get to the school or after a semester.

Don't worry about that. Even the embassy will help you pump your brakes on that plan

If you're in Poland already, is it the national visa (D) or Schengen visa (C) that the embassy issues for studies pls?

Swazy22:
Please can any one advise me, on how to solve the issue on “sufficient funds” how can I get the credit card? The money in the card, can it be pulled about afterwards? This is the only problem I am facing now, someone should help me please.

If you're able to get anything between 1 - 2 million NGN I think that should more than offset the "sufficient funds" palaver.
Apply at your bank. Be sure to use a bank that can issue it to you within about a week. Thumbs up to the likes of Access Bank, GTB etc. Don't even try the likes of First Bank etc.
Yea your funds can be "pulled about" or whatever the heck that means. I'm not too sure you can instantly drain out the account in one fell swoop, which is what I suspect you mean. Just ask at the bank when you're applying for the CC.

Amanee:
Lol, you guys coming from the woodwork to mention me didn't bother replying his questions in the first place. Anyways I was talking about winter semester studies and basically the cheap schools like University of Opole

...usually implies I've got stuff to gain. Not.
Stick to the message and forget the messenger.
While at it, why would anyone "start checking" for winter admissions "from March" when that's exactly the time winter ends and spring begins?
Just be more accurate with your info, is all.

LoyalHustler1:
You know it's kind of funny how the most admired man in America with a huge % will lose an election to a man in America with just 6%.

I think right now it's now becoming clearer.

The truth will come out, you guys should watch out.

Biden will never become president of America.

Watch what is about to happen In America.

DONALD trump will rule for a second term.

by the order of Ishawuru.

You will still receive sense in this lifetime. I won't give up on you. There is hope.

Canterbury:
I am in Abuja, my school is in Anambra start my dead line is in 8 to 10days. I got relatives that are close.

Well there you have it. Your solutions staring you right in da frigging face!
See ehn, send someone to the school tomorrow. Even if it's mai guard that is there, explain the matter and I'm sure he'll give out a number of any staff he knows. Call that number. Explain. Spice up the matter with a promise of a little token (this is VERY important). Tell them it's just a sentence that's required in the letter. Remind of the promise to give a little something in gratitude. Then sit back and watch wonders.
Even if that fails, dude you're in Abuja. Your Plan B would be to go to the Ministry of Education and, using the same strategy above, well, let's just say necessity is the mama of invention. I'm sure you'll figure out the rest.

Canterbury:
thanks bro, please for someone going for BSc what do I use for confirmation of Language Proficiency, as I can't access my secondary school now for it (reason being that schools are not in section now and my application deadline is soon)

Aww damn this yuletide must suck for you too...
Okay, well, when is the deadline? What part of the country are you at, relative to where your secondary school is?
Answers to these will go a pretty way in determining your options.

Canterbury:
Good evening, please I am trying to submit my application for admission process, the last item on the required documents is confusing to me, I need help.
Check the image below

Your WAEC/NECO Certificate as it is.
It's already in English and the results stated there are the transcripts.
All that's left is that sh!t you gotta do either at MFA/MOE or at Embassy on the day of your visa appointment.
