Amosiye:The need to make your itinerary is very necessary as any doubt noticed can break your application. In my opinion they might think that the 7 day supplementary free accommodation is an intention to beat them, i could be wrong though. Though i don't think its compulsory, but it will help if you can reserve out-of-campus accommodation maybe for another 2 or 4 weeks and you can explain in your statement of purpose that you have infarct reserve extra 2 or 4 weeks accommodation so as to have more time to look for your full time accommodation. I hope this helps? I will try to invite my ogas at the top Justwise and Vicjustice to comment on this for you, they know better. |

Amosiye:(1) Your friend is not your family member. (2) There should be a space where they ask the name, address and contact details of your school, i think that should be your host.. I think the host space you mention is for visitor's visa application but am not really sure... I hope Vicjustice can share more light to this, but i will check it out too.. (3) You can get a short time/temporary accommodation on the following websites daft.ie, rent.ie, myhome.ie, it is advisable not to reserve long term accommodation in advance. |

Amosiye:Here are the documents that are required of visa applicants of every category. This article is subject to modification and updates: * Invitation letter or accommodation details from the country you intend to visit; * (If on invitation by an individual,) a copy of the bio-data page of the passport of the person inviting you. * Your national passport or travel document with at least 6 months to expiration; * (If you are an alien resident in the country that you are applying from,) evidence of permission to remain in the country: ie, a residence permit or an appropriate long-term visa; * Passport sized colour photographs, not more than 6 months old; * (If employed,) a letter from your employer granting leave of absence from your job for a specified period. The letter should also say how long you have been employed by that employer, in what job(s) and should indicate when you are expected back at work; * (If sent or sponsored by your employer,) the evidence letter to this effect; expected to demonstrate the reasons and benefits for sponsoring you; * (If sent or sponsored by your employer,) the company's financial statement with evidence of fund availability for your own use; * (If self-employed,) evidence of your business activities and financial standing; * (If self employed or if applicable to you as an employee,) your tax clearance certificate to show your tax compliance level and also your income; * (If a student,) a letter from your school stating what course you are on, its start and finish dates and the dates of the holiday period during which you intend to travel abroad; Note: if you are not working you should include financial documents of the person who is supporting you; if someone else is paying for your trip, You would be expected to explain why you are being sponsored and to demonstrate how your sponsor will benefit from your trip. * (If applicable,) evidence of any property you own in your home country (if applicable) Note: the property is expected to represent anything that could be considered a tie; such property may not be an isolated land or building that are not deemed to be taking more of your responsibilities: it is different if you own (let's say) business property that requires your obligatory management; * Details of any firm travel plans you have made, ie itinerary: Warning! Do not book a flight because, you will forfeit your money if your visa is refused. Itinerary does not only mean flight ticket, it means travel plans which are, the preparations that you have put in place: such could be site seeing or tour guide arrangements, or onward flight tickets if applying for a transit or stopover visa; * Bank statements showing up to six months transaction details, must show sources of income: Warning! Avoid vast Money Lodgement (especially if it makes the majority of your finance), you will be refused without question. * (If applicable,) evidence of any income from other sources e.g. friends, family, savings, property etc * (If applicable and/or if the purpose of the trip has got something to do with family,) Evidence of family relationship and marital status ie Birth Certificate and/or Marriage or Civil Partnership Certificate, divorce certificate, death certificate (of spouse) * (If applying to join a spouse,) Evidence of relationship and communications or correspondences with your spouse: ie telephone details; emails; posts or/and photos of both of you together. * (If applying to join a spouse or family,) Birth certificate or Age Declaration document * It is very important to be able to show Ties or Obligations to return to. Note: Although, family or social ties and responsibilities are recommended, but logically, family ties aren't considered as strong as other ties because, there are vast cases of seekers involving in immigration fights to bring their family to join them, but yet, the magnitude of the family may be considered * (If an ex-convict) The official record of any conviction(s), detailing the crime(s) you were convicted of and the sentence(s) you received * The appropriate fee Note: You must provide original documents (except the identification documents of another person). Failure to submit original documents may mean your application is delayed or refused. HARD DOCUMENTS are documents that carry Security Authentications; or Stamps; or Seals; or Signatures; or Apostiles, etc: (For example; a Marriage Certificate), such documents must be submitted in their original states (except the document is an identification document belonging to another person ie your sponsor's passport etc). Any other document that does not carry any of the mentioned authentication is allowed to be submitted in photocopy state: Your hard documents will be returned back to you in due time. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ireland is a multicultural country that has never stooped welcoming migrants and visitors from abroad.

Complete your questionnaire form different from the online form, you can download it here http://www.dfa.ie/uploads/documents/embassy/Abuja%20EM/questionnaire%202010.pdf Living Costs Before deciding to study Ireland, you should ensure that you have sufficient funds to cover your costs of living. For students who require a visa, being able to demonstrate this will form part of your application. While you may be able to undertake part-time work during your time here, you should not have to rely on this income to meet all your expenses. Precisely how much you will need will vary depending on where you are studying in Ireland, on the type of accommodation you choose and, of course, on your own personal lifestyle. But, on average, we estimate that a student will spend between €5,000 and €10,000 per year. Estimated Living Costs for Dublin Rent (per week) €127.00 Utilities (per week) €31.00 Food (per week) €46.00 Transport - Public Transport (per week) €12.00 - Taxis (per trip) €10.00 Entertainment - Pub/Bar (per visit) €15.00 - Cinema (per visit) €5.00 - Restaurant (per visit) €20.00 - Mobile Phone (per week) €8.50 Total €274.50 (per week) Note: Estimated living costs for the rest of the country is generally cheaper as rent is much cheaper in the secondary cities in Ireland. One-Off Costs As well as your course costs, there are other one-off costs (this means costs which you only have to pay once, not regularly) which you may have to pay if you are travelling to Ireland. Make a note of the ones which apply to you and estimate the total cost of these. Visa application Travel insurance Medical insurance Post/baggage to/from Ireland Registration with police Television Mobile phone Deposit for Accommodation You will probably have to pay a deposit if you move into accommodation that is privately owned. This is usually the same amount as about 4 weeks of rent. It should be returned to you at the end of your stay unless you have damaged the property in some way. Below is a list of average costs for everyday grocery products in Ireland. Loaf of bread €1.65 Two litres of milk €1.50 Box of breakfast cereal €4.00 Can of Coca Cola 90c Bottle of shampoo €3.00 One apple 49 cent (or bag for €2.00) One banana bag of 5/6 €2.00 McDonald’s burger €1.00 Burger King burger meal €5.00 ACCOMMODATION Third level students Higher level students have an array of choice when it comes to accommodation. Some opt to stay in on-campus accommodation, which is available in many colleges, and experience the life of a student surrounded by all commodities such as shops, restaurants etc. Universities and colleges will have further details about their accommodation and how to apply. Students who want to be totally independent tend to go for self-catering, rented accommodation, often shared with other students. In recent years, rents have plummeted and there's a surplus of rental accommodation out there, so you will have a choice of quality premises. But make sure to visit the country ahead of your course in order to go hunting for a suitable home. Some students who are taking their first steps into the big, bad world on their own may like to make the transition easier by living (even for a time) with a host family in their home. This way, you have your own independence but still have the home comforts (and some rules) as well as a family to show you the ropes and help you settle in to a new way of life in a new country. Students are normally provided with their own room and with morning and evening meals - at a cost of between €125-€180 per week. Note: Most third level institutions have an Accommodation Office, a good first point of call for overseas students in their search for suitable accommodation. Accommodation can also be found through the local newspapers and estate agents in the cities. Websites such as Daft.ie or MyHome.ie also contain a large portfolio of rental properties. It is generally not possible to reserve long term accommodation in advance, as owners of properties will not hold rooms without payment of rent. English Language Students Warm welcomes are what Ireland is all about and no more so than when host families open up their homes to foreign students. English language institutes include pre-arranged accommodation in their fees, often with suitable Irish families who offer a home-from-home to the student for the duration of their course. This can be a great way for students to find their feet in a new country, have trustworthy people to help them with any queries they may have, and if you are staying with a family with children close to your own age, they can introduce you to local life and help you learn how to speak English informally. The Irish 'mammy' is notorious for taking students 'under their wing' and treating them as one of their own with warmth, kindness and generosity of heart. All host families are carefully selected, vetted and continually monitored and most are situated in residential areas, accessible to the school and other students. Larger language schools often have dedicated student residences, located nearby and close to public transport. These purpose-built apartments normally feature four or five single bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a large communal kitchen/living area. Alternatively, students can, if they prefer, avail of help from the school to find their own rented living accommodation. Or they can avail of residential school accommodation, which is mostly available during the summer months. This offers students the experience and benefits of 'life on campus.' HEALTH INSURANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN IRELAND EU Students Under EU/EEA regulations, students from other member states who are attending a course of study are entitled to free hospital services provided they have Form E.109 with them. In order to be eligible you will be required to provide the Irish health authorities with documentation from your home country that validates your entitlement. You should therefore contact the Health Authority in your home country, well in advance of travelling to Ireland, to fulfil any registration requirements and to obtain the necessary forms that you will need. From 1st June 2004, the E111 and a number of other 'E' forms (i.e. E128) have been replaced by a new European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). The EHIC must be obtained in the home country before departure. Non EU Students Students from non-EU countries are not covered for any free medical attention off-campus and must therefore have their own private insurance. Please note that heavy levies are charged for all hospitalisation and it is advised to make provision for adequate medical insurance. Non-EU students are required to show proof of comprehensive medical insurance when registering with the Garda National Immigration Bureau. Proof of health insurance is also required when applying for a student visa. Students are strongly advised to arrange insurance for private medical care as this ensures choice of hospital, doctor and hospital accommodation in the event of illness. CLIMATE Like it’s people, Ireland’s weather is never boring or predictable. Dancing in the rain, blowing in the wind, but all the time, the sun is never far away! Our climate can be summed up as being mild, moist and changeable with abundant rainfall and a lack of temperature extremes. You can experience all four seasons in the one day, if you're lucky! Because the island is hugged all year round by the warm influence of the Gulf Stream, Ireland is much warmer than other countries that share its latitude. The Gulf Stream also ensures that the Irish coastline remains ice-free throughout winter. Extreme winters are rare, and you're more likely to encounter a warm glow than a frosty reception, with average winter temperatures of between 40°F/5°C and 46°F/8°C. Summer temperatures are generally between 60°F/15°C to 70°F/20°C. One thing that is more than probable is rain - that’s what makes our grass so green, so don’t forget to pack your rain gear and a woolly jumper! RELIGION IN IRELAND Although predominantly Roman Catholic, Ireland today is a multi-cultural society where all religions are embraced and respected as playing vital roles in the societal make-up of the country. Other religious groups in Ireland include the Church of Ireland, Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist Churches as well as Eastern Orthodox, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and Salvation Army Communities. There are also centres for Buddhists, Hindus, Baha'is and those of the Islamic and Jewish faiths. Most of Ireland’s higher institutions have suitable prayer rooms for students to practice their faith when they are studying in Ireland. ON ARRIVAL There are a number of things international students must do when they arrive in Ireland ! When you arrive in Ireland, you will be arriving into one of our international airports - Dublin Airport, Cork Airport or Shannon Airport. All three airports are served by bus, taxi and car hire services. Alternatively, if you are spending you first night in a nearby hotel, many provide complimentary shuttle bus services to and from the airport. Check with your hotel at the time of booking to confirm. Onwards bus and rail connections from nearby cities are available from services provided by Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and private coach companies to locations around Ireland. In addition, onward flights to some regional airports are available from Aer Lingus, Ryanair and Aer Arann. REGISTERING WITH Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) After arrival, many international students have to register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB). Citizens from EU/EEA and Switzerland It is not necessary to register with the immigration authorities. All Other Students All non-Irish nationals, who are not citizens of the EU/EEA or Switzerland, must register in person with the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) after arrival and after completion of registration at your third level institution. The GNIB will issue you with a residence permit/GNIB card. The fee for this card is €300 and must be paid by credit card, laser card or bank giro. This fee cannot be paid in cash.

Irelander:Ireland are already bouncing back. ![]() |
Smooyis:Definitely, everything that has a beginning must have an end. |
Herrmes:You have said it all and that is the unfinished point i want to read from you ''you're not obliged to believe anything'' I have always found it odd that people who think passive aggressively ignoring a person is making a point to them. The only point it makes to anyone is your inability to articulate your point of view because deep down you know you can’t win. It’s better to assert yourself and tell the person you are moving on without them and why, rather than leave a lasting impression of cowardness on your part in a person’s mind by avoiding them. Quick condemnation of all that is not ours, of views with which we disagree, of ideas that do not attract us, is the sign of a narrow mind, of an uncultivated intelligence. The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant! ![]() |

Herrmes:(1) And what is the obligation that i must believe that what you are telling me is true? (2) Is there a motion that what you consider as non-insulting statement should also be considered the same by me? I think you should go and study Human Rights! |
Herrmes:A delusional person believes things that couldn't possibly be true. An insult is to speak or treat with disrespect Who are you to think that Arsenal fans must believe you are saying the truth and then say they are delusional? Like i said, people like you only looking for trouble. I know your type on nairaland. Must you reply to every post you read? If you don't like my post or any post you can easily ignore without looking for trouble. |
