I dont think you have to. You should be able to go ahead with the MOFA Authentication

Amycanada:
I have done legalization before at Ministry of Education Abuja. That was years back. Do I have to do it again?
Because all my certificates are stamped.

But, I haven’t done that of MOFA

I'll advise you reach out to bls or the consulate to confirm that

RedSamaritan:
Please how do i go about the " Proof of residence in the consular district" what is expected of us to provide at this point and is it suppose to be authenticated and legalised(with translation)

Don't mind those people, you'll have to go to Abuja physically or you send someone

Ikoko30:
Thanks for the information.
Regarding Authentication of documents at Ministry of Education, is there anyway to contact MOE by email or call as they're not responding.

*Is translation of documents from English to Spanish compulsory?
* What's is the required POF for 1yr course?
What are mandatory documents when submitting the visa application.

Tnx

This place is just dry, shey nobody is going to spain ni?

Please, how do i go about authentication and legalisation of my documents. Do i really have to go to Abuja?

Olammi:
I’ve seen many questions about studying in Spain lately, so I decided to put together a simple guide based on current information.

This is not promotion, just to help anyone considering the route.

General Overview

Spain is gradually becoming an option for people looking at Europe because:

Tuition is relatively moderate compared to some EU countries
Some programs are taught in English
It’s part of the Schengen zone
There are pathways after study

Admission Basics

Before anything, you must secure admission.

Typical requirements:
WAEC/NECO (for undergraduate)
HND/BSc (for postgraduate)
International passport
Statement of purpose
CV (for master’s)
Some schools may request:
English proficiency OR
Spanish language (depending on program)

Student Visa (Long Stay)
Common documents include:
Admission letter
Proof of funds (monthly living coverage)
Medical insurance
Police clearance
Accommodation details
Document legalization is often required.

Processing Time
Around 3–6 weeks in many cases
Can extend to a few months depending on application volume
Early application is always safer.

Approval Chances
Approval depends heavily on documentation.

Generally:
Strong applications tend to get approvals
Weak financial proof or incomplete documents often lead to refusal
So it’s less about country and more about how clean your file is.

Family Option
Students can apply with family members, but:
Financial requirement increases
Accommodation must be suitable
Not everyone goes this route initially.

Work While Studying
Students are allowed to work part-time:
Up to limited hours weekly
Must not interfere with studies
Jobs are not guaranteed, so plan finances properly.

After Study
Possible options after graduation include:
Switching to a work permit
Staying back legally if conditions are met
This depends on individual situation and job availability.

Important Points
Avoid shortcuts or false documents
Make sure financial proof is verifiable
Choose your school carefully
Don’t rely on “guaranteed visa” claims

Final Thought
Spain can work, but it is not a “shortcut route.”

Like every country:
Proper planning
Correct documents
Realistic expectations
…will determine the outcome
