Hey man, sorry to hear that. I was like you actually, I took online classes cuz I wasnt able to attend the university that I had already been studying in. How can I help you? Are there specific things regarding the visa appointment that you need help with? I'll try my best to help you

[quote author=Ykhgu1 post=111317831][/quote]Hey thanks man, I am under no illusions that it'll be tough getting adjusted to life there but I'll take things one step at a time. Hopefully by some fortune I'll get through it

Hey guys,

I recently received my student visa from the Polish Embassy (not in Nigeria unfortunately) and this site and especially one kind soul has been instrumental in my application. I'd like to give back to this site since reading past posts really helped me out with my situation. So if you have questions that I can answer, please send me them and I'll try my best to answer all of them from my recent experience

If it helps, this is the profile of my application:

1: My father sponsored me and he works abroad, so I think foreign sponsors do work given that you provide all the necessary requirements and verification to prove relation. The documents I recommend you to provide are: notarized sponsorship letter, payslips extending from the past 6 months, salary certificate/letter of employment which includes joining date and have been signed and stamped by the employer confirming your sponsors status of working in that company, birth certificate or family registry proving relation with your sponsor. If your birth certificate and family registry are not in english, have them translated to english/polish by a sworn translator and if possible also notarize them as true copy so that the embassy will know for certain your relation. Payslips & letter of employment MUST be originals, so you don't have to notarize them

2: In my case I was already studying in the University there so I just had to prove my student status to the embassy. I did this by providing the following documents: Confirmation of student status and of having no debt with the university, proof of all tuition fees payment, student ID/Card/other identification, and Transcript of Grades from the University

3: I received a lease agreement from my private accommodation so I dont know how it would work with University dormitories unfortunately. I believe you should ask your dormitory for a document of confirmation of your status renting that dormitory with proof of payments and length of stay in dormitory. Remember that the length of stay should ideally match the length of your Visa duration

4: I was overzealous with providing documents but I think they helped in convincing the embassy that there could be no doubts in the data of my application. So I recommend providing all documents that can help you with strengthen your argument to obtain the student visa, be they important things like a TOEFL or IELTS certificate to prove mastery in English or trivial things like a screenshot of your weekly subjects timetable schedule or your Polish public transport account. The idea is to give your embassy no reason to deny you.

5: I'm actually not from Nigeria or Africa so there might be differences here. From reading the past posts, I understand that you guys feel as if there's a stigma against Nigerians by the Embassy. Hopefully, that isn't true and that the embassy treats all applications equally with professionalism, regardless where they come from

I also understand that from reading the past posts that there is a stigma here where the people that succeeded in obtaining the Visa are silent and have left the site but the people that failed remain. I know that isn't true because the user CypherHendrix was kind enough to help me out, despite probably having already successfully received their own Visa. I'd like to return that kindness shown to me by helping you guys out as much as I can and for as long as I'm not busy.

Cypherhendrix:
You are welcome and also have a nice weekend
Anticipating your success story

Hey man! I successfully received my visa. The info and advice you gave me, especially with the foreign sponsor notarization stuff, really helped me out with the visa application so I'm deeply thankful for your help. I don't know how to express my gratitude online in a stronger way, so please accept my sincerest thank yous.

Cypherhendrix:
Honestly first thing you need to know foreign sponsor are not advisable but if you go on with one you wont be told to summit any special documents from the one someone with local sponsor
So what are you notorizing it is just your sponsorship letter from your sponsor and yes you can do it in any reputable law firm i advice high court and since you are using payslip all you need is
• 3 months payslip
• Certificate of employment
• your sponsorship letter

Ah I see, that is quite relieving to hear that I wont be told to provide any other special documents. I was actually prepared to include my mothers bank account statement just to prove that I sort-of have a local sponsor, even though bank account statements aren't really accepted as POFs. And yes, I will indeed be notarizing the sponsorship letter. Hopefully from the best law firm or high court I can find.

Once again, thank you so much Cypherhendrix. You are quite literally a life saver in how much stress and confusion you've saved me from. Hope you have a great weekend

My sponsor (father) works and resides abroad, is the certificate of employment with 6 month salary payments acceptable when applying for the student visa here? What other procedures must I do in this scenario?

Good day everyone, once again I come here for assistance and I would be ever-indebted to you for your responses

My father (same surname) who is sponsoring me is working and residing abroad but I currently have his certificate of employment and the payslips. After reading a couple posts here from people with sponsors also living abroad, I understand that they must provide data on their sponsors ID, Passports and or residency permits, and other proofs of relation with the sponsored.

In terms of the certificate of employment and payslips, what other procedures and actions should I take such that this situation wont be an issue for the embassy? I read that people of a similar situation such as I had their sponsor notarize the payslips and certificate of employment. Would it be acceptable if I notarized the payslips, certificate of employment, and sponsorship letter where I live instead of my sponsors residence?

For those that have received their student visas whilst having sponsors who work and reside abroad, I beg that you please tell me how your appointment went and what additional documents you prepared for this particular situation, especially documents on the sponsors payslips, certificate of employment, and letter of sponsorship.

As always, I am ever indebted for any responses.

Thank you

Cypherhendrix:
Both form of POF are advisable
But for self sponsor most especially someone going for bsc it is not advisable to be the self sponsor and for msc yes you can use your payslip or cc and also dont forget that ur POF would have connections with your tuition, city, rent and transportation
One little thing i can chip in is look at ur age are u sure self sponsor wont raise an eyebrow

Hello Cyhpherhendrix

Yes, I am below the age of 21 so I definitely am not self sponsoring my undergrad/bachelors education. My parents are sponsoring me so I think there will be no eyebrows raised in that end. Thank you so much for your response, it was very helpful and gives me the confidence heading to my visa appointment now.

Is it possible to use sponsors pay slips instead of Certificate of credit card limit for the Polish Student Visa requirement?

Hello guys, hope you're doing well.

My agency advisor told me it was best to get my sponsors certificate of credit card limit (I am too young to make my own CC in my country) to fulfill the proof of financial resources section, but the bank refuses to issue that certificate. I can only use screenshots of the CC limit from their internet banking app and I don't think that's acceptable for the Embassy. I was wondering if it was possible to use my sponsors payslips and bank account statement as an alternative to the certificate of Credit Card Limit. Has anyone successfully obtained a visa using sponsors payslips instead of the CC certificate?

All responses are very much appreciated, thank you.
