Please is anybody going to university of East London this September. It’s seems like I’m going to be the only Nigerian going this year…☹️

Please has any one book their visa appointment and paid on the vfs global site recently. my attempt to pay keeps failing and they say you have to wait for another 24 hours to try again. This doesn't make any sense.

Whats the purpose of travel? Long stay pre-clearance

Hi @ICaSNG

I have about 1.5 and received 2.5million from my sponsor, i decided to open a euro account and I deposited the 7000 euro into it after changing the money into euro in the black market ( the transaction is explained and referenced in my bank statement). I clearly explained this in my visa application letter and my sponsor also did the same ... the account statement for the euro account is not up to a month ... I hope this doesn’t affect my chances although I and my sponsors naira account is up too 6months ...... I and my sponsor clearly explained source of funds.

Oshiiin:
What are the documents needed to show as proof of car sales please?

Please does anybody have any idea ??

Hi @ICaSNg,
I know that even if you use an education bond that you still need to provide your bank statement and that of your sponsor as well as explain source of funds..But what exactly is the importance of using an education bond?

Thanks a lot @ICaSNg, but I don’t think you completely understand the first question.let me try to explain better ...
Most of the lump sum received in my account is money from my sponsor to pay for tuition fees and to secure an education bond. All I can explain in this situation is that my sponsor sent money to me to pay for tuition and edubond. I can’t really provide proof for that ...

ICaSNg:



Is it necessary to explain a large debit in my savings account or that of my sponsor if the debit is not tuition fee or edubond related? both credit and few debit is required but more importantly all lump sum credit for your account and your sponsor's coupled with proof.


3. What amount can be regarded as a lump-sum- your salary and above or average monthly income if you're unemployed.
if employed and salary is 80k for example, you start from your salary and any amount above 80k

if unemployed and on average you get like 40k as gifts or little transactions, you start from that.

Hi,
@ICaSNg
My sponsor transferred like 90 percent of my tuition fees and also transferred the equivalent of 7000 euro in Naira into my savings account for education bond . Is it necessary to explain this lump sum considering the fact it was deposited by my sponsor..

Hi Icasng,
After the tuition fees have been paid in full and a 7000 euro education bond has been done. Can a balance of 4million in your sponsors account be enough to help secure an irish student visa or rather show sufficient proof of funds.

Please can someone help me here

Hi, Icasng
Please how do you process a euro edubond?
Can it be done using a naira account in Nigerian banks using a form A or do I have to get the euros in the black market and credit a euro account.
Thanks

They didn't actually tell me the appropriate rate there. according to the manager, she will confirm the rate it is as of today and the correct amount will be what will be deducted from my sponsor account. But I check online I saw 444.98

Document requested form the bank are
* Evidence of admission
* School Bill for the period
* Photocopy of first degree certificate/
Copy of statement of result by awarding institution (post graduate)
* Valid means of ID

Did the bank take additional charges

After paying your full tuition and securing a 7000 edu bond, leaving a balance of about 4 million as your sponsors account ....will this be sufficient for proof of funds.

Chibabe4Christ:
Thank you...

I had to open euro account and transfer 7045 euro because they will subtract some charges from the money so if you send 7000euro the money will not be up to 7000euro after removing some charges and that will reflect on the receipt they will give, Remember Irish embassy demands we pay 7000euro for EDUBOND.
I hope I answered the question

Did you transfer from the Naira equivalent from your Naira account to your euro account. What was the exchange rate at the time of this transaction...

Did you include a sponsor or you are self funding

Chibabe4Christ:
You are right...
For those that their visa were denied, am truly sorry about that but the truth is that I was once in that terrible mood when I was denied. I felt the world has collapsed on me but little did I know that it was the will of GOD.
What do I mean? My first application was 101% ok. I submitted everything even added extra documents to prove my transparency. My financial aspect was clearly stated. I had enough money left after i have paid my school fees, I presented my letter of employment, my pay slips, letter of recommendation from our HR..... Infact my statement of account I printed corresponded with my pay slips and inflow/outflow of money was 101% consistence. All the reasons for their denial were funny because they were part of the evidence I presented. Eg My financial status, date of birth (Note: I have never used another date of birth since my childhood, my WAEC result has my original date of birth crested on it, my birth certificate from NCC, my baptizmal card looking old you will clearly know that it was not forged in all they said I gave a fake date of birth... hahahaha. The ONLY thing I did not do was EDUBOND. So when I was apealing I used EDUBOND, immigration lawyer in Nigeria and presented all documents I submitted earlier according to the way it was stated in IRISH website.
Finally a decision was made and my visa was APPROVED.
My point is that GOD allowed the denial to take place so that I can apply for EDUBOND and doesn't have to be stranded. The exchange rate when I did the EDUBOND was N395 per 1 euro from black market against N552 per 1euro currently.
It has added extra 1million Naira.
Attimes God allows things happened for a purpose.
Just be optimistic and believe that God can do all things.
SHALOM!!
