that what always do but now i think they want to charge the credit card o

If you use the filter as I posited above, you can always find a couple of hotels or apartments that are free of charge even on Airbnb.

Before settling for one hotel in Istanbul a couple of days ago, I reserved 4 different hotels with Pay later option. I only cancelled more than 2 weeks after our choices have been made

See below quote. The hotel practically 'begged' that I cancel 1 out of two

Hi
You have 2 bookings on the same dates for your upcoming trip from Sat 21 Dec to Tue 24 Dec. Please cancel any you don't need, so our properties can plan ahead - and you can save money!

see the terms below

Prepayment
You will be charged a prepayment of the total price of the reservation in the 7 days before arrival.

Cancellation cost
until 13 December 2019 23:59 [Istanbul]: € 0

from 14 December 2019 00:00 [Istanbul]: € 117.45

Today being 2/12/2019, I could have waited till 13th December and still cancel for free and no prepayment made or card charged
Same for Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam hotel reservations

Why speak with so much authority? Well, my experience these past few weeks is what I just put up here. It’s not compulsory you believe. Just first make the mistake of submitting an application to these embassies with any of these bookings done with unfunded cards, and then they go on to cancel it, you will then understand what the time says, if you like, use all the filters you can think of, you will understand at some point. Hope you know they mostly have it as part of your booking conditions that they can try to access the money in your card at any point in time, and that this point can be after you have submitted your application?

I just got refunded one of my reservation’s money on Friday after it was withheld for over two weeks, the others - some up to three weeks - are still being withheld, including the one I’ve cancelled by myself. I however know that I will be refunded most definitely. And I think I’m much more comfortable with this their approach, instead of them canceling my reservation out midway into my visa application’s submission.

LESSON: Dud and unfunded cards as at today will sure get applicants into trouble per their hotel bookings if not extra careful.

Oga, I have been traveling for more than 3 decades, but I can help educate you by sharing some threads on some of the countries that I have visited

This year alone, I have visited 4 different countries and in the next couple of days, I'll spend 4 days in Istanbul, Turkey and another 10 days in many of the 26 Schengen countries. Invariably, I have booked Hotels in 10 countries this year 2019 alone in different parts of the world(excluding Africa) and all the bookings I made are of free cancellation without losing N1.

Experience matters. Don't just argue based on your limited experience, as you're not talking to a fresher. Some people call me 'Ajala the traveler on Nairaland'
There are ways I do it, that I don't pay 1 kobo in booking hotels in any part of the world using booking.com, hotel.com and Airbnb

OmoBendel24:
Mostly a night's money has to be withheld, whether you pick the no prepayment option or not, noticed this with the UK and France hotels already in the past few weeks.

Not true

There are over 100 filters on Booking.com and Hotel.com

Just select Hotel with free cancellation.

When I did mine, I was confused at first, till I figured it out.

It's not really straight forward

Watched the game with my wife and was laughing when Kelechi was praying hard while the goal was being checked by VAR.

The guy changed the game

Provided an assist for Vardy to equalize and scored the winning goal

BeStroNG:
So how are they going to convey this one to its main destination? By road?

Read about barges

I like the fact that they used flat barge to bring it in

I received an award in September, 2017.

When the letter of notification came in, I saw a part that says most of their recipient donated between N100,000 to N200,000 that was when I knew most awards lack merit.

Gab2015:

These people actually need to be convinced that you are doing well in Nigeria.

As a business man who owns his company, if the company is doing well, you should have added the bank statement of the company and yours

I said it already

HRprof:

Hello house,
Please I have a pressing situation that I need help with.

Please bear with me as this is quite lengthy

I got a PhD admission in New Zealand beginning of this year, but I was not able to secure the scholarship. And I could not afford their tuition and living expenses on my small salary. I applied for another scholarship which I was told might not be available till next year

Also at the same time, I got an admission in South Africa which I can afford as the school will pay the tuition and but you will have to take care of the living expenses yourself.

Therefore, in a bit to progress and not waste more time at home as I had already spent two years working on this, I decided to go to South Africa to start my PhD. I got a 3 years visa for my studies and September I decided to leave. When i arrived, my supervisor advised me to wait till next year to register officially as the year is almost over. But I can continue my research unofficially. I agreed.

Early this month, I received a letter that my scholarship has been granted for my studies in New Zealand to start immediately. Which is great news.

My question is, will the 3 years study visa in my passport for south africa affect my chances of getting a study visa for New Zealand? I havent been officially registered as a student here so will they have reservations about the S.A study visa?

Ps. The scholarship is not from New Zealand.

Femi and others can advise, but pick NZ over any other country
