Wahala no too much bayii? Not listed anywhere on Irish government website, or is this an opportunity to deny people study visa? even the agency the school directed me to never mentioned anything like birth certificate to me.

Please how do i send it to them?

Hello guys,

I got an offer from Griffith College sometime last month and by this week my tuition fees should be paid in full by my sponsor's bank.

Apparently, the next logical step for me is my visa application. However, I have some questions:

- Is it too late to apply for a visa? It takes an average of 6 - 8 weeks for visa processing and my programme starts on the 20th of September.

- After skimming through this thread, it is evident that accommodation is one of the major challenges faced by every prospective student (especially those opting to study in Dublin). Staying in one of the halls of residence provided by Griffith College seems like an expensive option. Also, staying within Dublin City Center is yet another expensive option. I have looked at the map of Ireland and I found out that there are suburbs scattered around Dublin. These places are highlighted on the map attached to this post. Is it feasible to live in any of these highlighted areas and commute to school via train? Which of these options is my best bet - school accommodation, accommodation within Dublin, or highlighted suburbs?

- Can I use my naira debit card (our everyday ATM card) to pay for my medical insurance on [url]studyandprotect.com[/url]?

- I was oblivious of the fact that the Irish Embassy requires proof of English Language proficiency and no applicant is exempted from this. Since I require one urgently, how feasible is it to prepare for and take the Duolingo English Test within 3 - 5 days? Can my naira debit card be used to pay for the test?

- Will the services of an agent make the visa application process less stressful for me?

Thanks for your anticipated answers and contributions.

Othniels:
Are ye using naira denominated cards. That could be the problem. You need a dollar debit card.

Can I move with my spouse as a post graduate student?
Would I be able to work full time while he studies?

clevermob:
Ma'am,

I'll really suggest getting the private counsel of the ICAS team. It's paid but they can answer these questions a lot better as they've seen a lot of these sorta scenarios in the past. At least, for someone that started a thread that is these number of pages strong, one can tell the agency is legit. My thoughts.

Might not exactly be the safest getting general thoughts especially on a platform where many have more questions than answers.

Philadelphia:
Thanks for your response.
I truly appreciate this.

Anyone else that has paid tuition recently? Please share your rates.
I’m thanks.

HappyBite:
I think all schools in ireland requires ielts, and what course are you going for?

ICaSNg:
Apologies for the late response. Yes all Bank statements should be presented. Dwebb already responded too

Dwebb55:
Yes, the account where the bond was paid from has to be submitted with explanations on the source of funding!

Omon01:
Mehn its the reviews ooo, i had to choose Intl Biz in NCI instead of the business analytics i wanted.......Simply because of the reviews i got and comment from friends in dublin on DBS. i hope i dont regret it

Joohan:
Yeah. I did MIS as a course also in school. But I can't find schools doing MIS in Dublin or Limerick

makay200:
Good evening guys,

Does Business Analytics involves vigorous programming? I don't really like programming

Thanks

Joohan:
Hi everyone.
I'm a graduate of Business education. Graduated with a 2.2.

After my research, I found out that there are little to no opportunities for business graduates in Ireland. So what do you suggest I do? Should I switch to IT by first going for an IT diploma or apply for a masters directly?

PS: I did some basic IT courses during my undergraduate days. I did DBMS, Data management, file management and introduction to computer.

Lastly, I have no sponsor. Can I sponsor myself by tendering my bank statement?

ICaSNg:
Sworn affidavit/ court order

DammyDurst:
Hi guys, I have a similar issue also. On my birth certificate, I have Odili Oluwaseun Emmanuel. But just before getting into the university, I changed the Oluwaseun to Damilola and I've been maintaining that since then. Hence having, Odili Damilola Emmanuel. I was thinking I should do another birth certificate and back date it to be on a safer side, or just swear an affidavit stating that I'm the bearer of both names. Which would be best advised, please?

Rap101:
Good evening everyone. I am Kingsley. A friend of mine recommended that I sign up here to get ideas on how to solve an issue bordering on some irregularities in my name as appeared on my birth certificate. At birth, my birth certificate bears CHINEDUM UKACHUKWU ABBAH. But my WAEC certificate bears a different name though similar as my name since then has been CHINEDU KINGSLEY ABAH which appears on all my certificates. The KINGSLEY is my English name so I am no longer using UKACHUKWU as its my tribal name. The issue here is that my brother that wants to sponsor me is bearing KENNEDY EMEKA ABBAH. Wouldn't this difference in surname cause issues for me? Please what can I do to solve this issue before submitting my application?

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

Chibabe4Christ:
Thank you very much
My first application was for February intake so I submitted in October 2019.
Got refused in December 2019
Appealed that same December 2019
because of covid, I didn't hear anything from them even when I sent several mail, notting from the embassy so I lost hope since they were not answering. To my greatest surprise my visa was approved 2nd week embassy was opened in July and I got my kpali in August hahhahaaa....
It can only be GOD ooooo

NOTE: For those that are appealing, if you think you are behind the scheduled time for your academic session, do not be in a hurry, you can request for a new offer letter for the next academic session from your international officer so that VO will will not capitalise on the reason that your school will soon start to deny you again.
That was what I did in my own case. My initial application was for February intake but I got a new offer letter and invitation to register for September intake, appealed and got approved.

I hope this helps
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Princeadex04:
That's not true, I paid for my EDU BOND using FORM A at ECOBANK, IWO ROAD BRANCH IN IBADAN, 3 weeks ago.

Dwebb55:
So, I got my Visa approved today. I applied last year and was rejected but was told I could appeal. I did this and with the help of Icas and most especially God, I appealed the decision and today, my visa was one of those on the approved list.

I am awaiting the reopening of our international flights and will be in Ireland when school resumes in September. My advice is to put God first and seek the counsel of experienced people on the forum. I pray that we are all favoured in the coming weeks

Jaypey21:
To be honest
I’m not trying to hurt anybody feelings or anything
I think you guys should just forget about school for this
Year and focus on January.
With the way things are going and the pandemic not stoping anytime soon .. going to school will be very hard .
Just saying

ICaSNg:
The point is they certainly won't accept black and white copies and that will cost you #20000 to #40000 when you get to the VFS office.
