Hi Nairalanders,
It’s my first time posting on this platform. I’m currently studying in the Netherlands and I would like to know if there are any Nigerians in the country. It’s really lonely here and I have a few questions. Thanks

Bro, just one advice from a brother in diaspora. On no account should you send your ID to someone you don't know personally. From personal experience, if your personal ID is used for something illegal you will have to take responsibility for it. International passport is not just an ordinary document, it's a very sensitive document. I'm not accusing the admin of that group of any illegal activity but being in possession of passport data pages of different people can even put him/her in trouble. Advice the admin of that group to change form of ID to pre-recorded video with a pass code written on a paper.

Chizumahizu:
Go and rest, that WhatsApp group is not like every other WhatsApp group you can join and do whatever you like, the Admins of that group always do a routine check for the benefit of the members against scammers like you. If you are not okay with their method then you bounce and stop talking rubbish.

Depends on your University policy. For example, University of Wroclaw only accepts one year payment before they issue you necessary visa documents

Can one make part payment for school fees

Schon007:
National Visa please

Vistula does

UARBIAFRAODUA:
PLEASE what school would accept intakes for january? or is poland schools just one cycle per session?

Importation is bad for the economy but the government should give all local investors same opportunities. If US was biased and gave Bill Gates the monopoly there wouldn't have been Mark Zuckerberg orJack Dorsey. Nigerians are smart people, all we need is equal opportunities to put our ideas into practical

It's ineffective to the covid variant in SA

Why sell something you can't consume to your fellow Africans? I think this is a Xenophobic attack on the unsuspecting buyers

Ilesha is a good place to live, things are cheap there and there's adequate security. You'll meet people of like minds. I have a property there but it's occupied until December (I'll contact you for more discussion in future if the need arises)

For doubting Thomas

Understand your point, I have been living in China for over three years and even though they have high-speed rail,they're still building more narrow gauge lines. We are a developing nation, how many people do you think will be able to afford the ticket prices? People are even complaining about 2k5 Lagos-Ibadan train ticket. We don't have the expertise and manpower to handle such infrastructure yet. One step at a time, I believe one day we will get there

pandax:
I am not impressed at all. It is narrow gauge oooo in this 21st century of supersonic train speed. who did we offend as a race?
No developed nation or aspiring to be developed nation will build narrow gauge line in this century
The better North and SW will be standard gauge and FG will build narrow gauge in the defeated south and lesser North.. Tueeh

It covers some South Eastern cities. The rail will move from Bonny Ports to PH in Rivers with a spur to Owerri and link Abia-Enugu-Benue-Lafia-Kaduna-Bauchi-Gombe and Borno. A new spur to Ebonyi and Anambra will be built to connect all Southeast states to the line.

Grgton:
SS to NE rail project!! what has SE got to do with this

My school said they can't give such letter until mode of teaching changes, so right now just waiting

DAramis:
Hmmmm,

So, were you able to get such later from your school and your appeal was it successful?

After first denial, the consular officer explained to me that because courses are done online, the purpose of travel is not proven.It's better if your University can write a backup letter, explaining that you need to be in University because of exam, practicals or physical classes

Escanor:
I understand that d embassy has been giving denials since d beginning of this year.but let others in d group contribute. Let's see what docx u need to solve the no 8

The Payslip I used had 750k on it. I'll be going to Wroclaw

necz:
How much was on the Payslip you used?

Also, which city are you going to? That could also be a factor to consider when using a payslip. If you're going to big cities like Warsaw or Wroclaw. Please don't go and use payslip of 300k or 400k oo. Look for a sponsor who earns higher i.e; 500 - 800k

I believe you will get your VISA, if you do the needful.

I wish you a +ve response outcome as you appeal

I used a sponsor for the payslip but it was deemed insufficient by the embassy, I then moved the money into my account for the appeal

necz:
Why would you sponsor yourself with Payslip?

You can do better than that. Get a sponsor and appeal

Yes,I am

agyeigilbert2:
Are you sponsoring yourself?

The embassy rejected the payslip I used. They asked me to present either credit card certificate (Which is a bit difficult because the deadline they gave me is not enough) and secondly evidence of money in Poland or an EU country. My question is who knows how to open a block account in EU. And can I have access to the whole fund when I get there..... Thank you

Who used Zenith bank credit card? How did you go about it and how long did it take for the whole process?

I entered metro. Knowing how racist most Chinese are towards blacks, I don't sit beside them (I go avoid you before you avoid me). This woman still whispered to her husband and they changed seat I told them no need to change seat I'm not sitting close to you. In China, if they see you it's either they adjust their mask, change route or use their hands to cover their nose. This is everyday occurrence

ok, thanks for the suggestion. I will work on that

Canterbury:
I don't think your school stating that there is accommodation for you and the price is enough. They should say that you have made some payments for it no matter how little and you have available accommodation for 1 year at least

Do you know what they did to fix this problem?

necz:
I know about 2 people who had the same #9 refusal issue as yourself and they're currently in Poland.

Is the accommodation reservation from the school?. and how many months reservation was given to you?

Also send a mail to the Embassy to ask the reason for the visa refusal/denial.

Yes,the accommodation registration is from the school, stating just the price and availability.

I submitted accommodation reservation and
extension letter from the University stating I can arrive at the end of this month. The University is aware that I just applied for the visa...Ill do as you've advised. Thank you so much

Hardefillar1:
It’s either one or two ways...
Accommodation or admission... this isn’t about your tuition fee payment or something or accommodation payment..

The embassy must’ve contacted your school and the school may have replied ghat they’re not taking in anyone for this semester or session till October or something... or maybe they’ve revoked your admission. I had someone who ran into the same situation.

So contact your school and ask them what’s your admission and accommodation status. If it is still valid; tell them to send you a recent document that shows that; and go to the embassy to appeal with that or better still get admission to another school and go with their documents

yes, I included payment confirmation and even extension letter from the University

necz:
Did your school give you an accommodation or were you able to get an accommodation contract?

Also did you include payment confirmation evidence from the school?

Please if someone gets Number 9 (You have not justified the purpose of travel and conditions of stay), and planning to file an appeal, what are the things to be worked on? Thank you

Don't waste your money. Not worth it

It's supposed to be 6months before expiry because no embassy will accept passports that has less than 6months validity, you need to write a backup letter and state the reason why you're renewing earlier than the usual time

gypsey:
Right, is it possible to renew a nigerian passport 7 months before expiry? Good infor. Thanks.

I am in a group of South Africans in China, and it takes them close to a year to get a new passport. When I renewed my passport in China, it took me just 20minutes to get a replacement. I have an Australian friend that his passport got damaged in Thailand, it took two months to get a replacement. I want you to understand this is not just about Nigeria alone but a common occurrence that's why it's better to get a replacement months before your current passport expires (I got a replacement 7 months before mine expired) Sorry for what you're going through, I hope you find a solution soon

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
