Be patient, you'll get it or call their office

I don't even know the courier, and if you have TLS contact, please can you share?

Thanks

Please Fam,

I have a question please,

Decision has been for a friend study Visa, and TLS has confirmed the receipt of the passport, they indicated that they will send the passport through courier, but since 29th of Aug.

Please is there a way to contact them to ask question. Visa application center is Abuja.

Please your help and response will help to solve panic,

Thank you.

Kalakris:
I did on 9th August. TLS Abuja. Awaiting decision as at this afternoon. Have you done paid mail?

I have a question please, will DHL allow anyone to collect the passport on my behalf? N it won’t be a problem?

ignis:
Look at this fellow that don't know his constitutional right.

An immigration officer can even ask you to pull your pant and show him your private part.

No need to fight bro,
both of your are right.

at POE, you can be asked for anything, and you may be asked for nothing. It all depends on the first question that was asked and the answer to the question and your body language.

My first travel, I was just asked where am I going to, I gave the address and telephone number and that was it.

Second travel, even though it was not from Nigeria, I was sleepy cos it was an overnight journey, I didn't give direct response, I was scrutinized, asked where I am going, why, when I will leave, what I am doing, where I am coming from, my ID card, School Card, and so many questions that are not really necessary.

So in all, let the concerned individual just take along all the document he or she used for application, from school to final application.
all the information they ask you, they already see it in the system, they just want to confirm your authenticity. is it you or are you fraud and so on. So no issues. Let him or her go with all the docs.

Deeamanei:
Good evening guys,


Can anyone here in Belgium give me an idea of best housing/accommodation options for students aside school hostels?

Thanks

Depending on your city, private accommodation is still the best.. but if you happen to get co-housing.. it makes better sense.

Akshow:
Thanks for the reply. I sent a mail and was told my application is still been treated.

Ask for your file number…
Where you told it’s in Brussels?
If so, ask for your file number, call the office in Brussels..

Normally it takes six weeks after your submission at the embassy.

Akshow:
Hello Premiercare. Have you gotten your visa? If yes, how long did it take the embassy to get back to you after your interview.

I did interview 7th July and still haven't heard from the embassy.

Call embassy to ask for the status of your visa, they will need your file number though

@Konja,
We need to talk please..
Masa, I wan move o.

I tire for di place I dey..
I no get your number again.
And also DZI number.

Hit me up bro

oluwamitomisin:
It's not very likely that sponsorship letter 'expires'.
A couple of friends have been using the same letter from Feb 2017 till this session. And they study at KU Leuven. Meaning their Stad is Leuven.

It expires after 5 years...

oloriooko:
Try google

I tried bro, but not getting it.

- I got formula to split into two (left and right)
- Formulae to separate the figure
But not able to get what I want

degamonn:
Yes, I can, but what you want is not clearly stated yet.

Thanks bro,

Let me explain better;

I have this below in each cells of the worksheet, they are all different numbers. They are writing together, because there are auto generated.

BEBRUATWTPEAAEM10111012000277 (CellA1)
BEBRUATWTPEAAEM10111024000211 (CellA2)
BEBRUATWTPEAAEM10111022000187 (CellA3)
BEBRUATWTPEAAEM10111011000253 (CellA4)
BEBRUATWTPEAAEM10111017000197 (CellA5)
BEBRUATWTPEAAEM10111029000198 (CellA6)

up to CellA100, in different worksheets of 25


But I need space in-between them like this below

BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 027 000198
BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 033 000168
BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 031 000167
BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 030 000114
BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 060 000199
BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 061 000040
BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 026 000192
BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 025 000197
BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 036 000034


I was thinking if there is a formulae to space them so I can do it easily, rather than spacing it manually.

If you understand me.

Please house,
Can you help me separate text(data) in a cell in excel with a specific formula.

For example;

BEBRUATWTPEAAEM10111031000167 (all in cellA1)

Into

BEBRUA TWTPEA A EM 10111 031 000167 (all in cellB1)


Note: normally I would space it, but it’s a lot. I have about 100 cells with different data as above.

Ikenga12:
Please,is it only a salary earner that can do annexe 32. Can a business owner do it?
Somebody should help out please,I'm stuck.

Someone who is able to provide payslip... with the minimum about required.

So I feel, business owner Cannot provide payslip, except he pays himself, which in turn makes him a salary earner.

That’s why I always advice foreign sponsor. But if you have someone who earns enough in Naija.. it’s ok too

GreatMage:
Thanks alot...
I really like the 100% exam practice...
And also I am sure they don't have many courses like we do in Nigeria universities;

Where 100l first semester will offer like 13 courses...

My brother, na that 100% easy to fail pass o..
As long as your 60 credit is complete for 1 academic year, you are good.

GreatMage:
1. How's study in Belgium generally

2. Can I work while studying

3. If there's a language to be learnt; which should it be?

4. How is Visa processing like at the embassy and what should I watch out for...

Thanks.

1. Different from Naija, and also the mode of answering question is different too. For instance if you are asked list or enumerate, that’s all you need to do.. if it’s explain, go straight to the point, no all those Naija style.
There are lot of group works, and also prepare your mind to be calm, especially in group works, they are not English speakers, so using different words (synonyms) doesn’t really work well. So stick with very simple words and easy words..
Presentation is also common n important.
Exam is sometimes 100%, except for assignment or presentation that is mandatory. In all exam is 100% (20 marks overall).

2. Yes, you can, but don’t forget the reason for coming to Belgium, new law now from last year I think, pass 65% of your course.

3. Depends on your interest, there is dutch, French and German. If you live in Antwerp then Dutch is your closest....

4. Well, the rest of the group here, will answer that, it’s been a while, don’t want to give answers that are stale..

GreatMage:
English...

I just wanted to know more about the university...
And maybe life @antwerpen

Thanks...

I don’t live in Antwerp though, it’s just the normal studies, the covid although has changed a lot.. in answering you. You have to be more specific.

GreatMage:
Information Management and multimedia

In English or Dutch??
Ask any question you want though

GreatMage:
I wanna found out more information personally from experienced students about this university in Belgium...

Thomas more university in antwerpen...
I just got an admission...
I got it in just 3 days! I thought it would take some weeks or even month to process like German and Canada own.

Thanks.

Which course is it ?

DeeKeem:
@fikki1

Please can I contact you via email?

Yes you can

konja44:
How is this possible?? Skype test in English for a Dutch language course?? It is confusing.

Yeah, that’s the requirement... they want to test the level of English understanding( this includes; speaking and listening as well as comprehension) not just to speak or listen but to comprehend.

So basically, they will ask questions in English and you will reply, it usually not difficult.

DeeKeem:
I really can't comment on how easy it is to get a job there. But I believe it depends on where you are (big cities or student cities will be easier than smaller cities) and of course speaking the language. Also other people have gone there and have gotten jobs, easy or not you should be able to get a job as well.

Student jobs average about €9-15 per hour (It can be more). It is also important to note that students are allowed to work only 20hours per week during the school session but can work full days during summer holidays

Gurus in the house please correct me if I'm wrong
cc @fikki1 @konja44

Just like @konja44 has said...focus on the study work is supplementary, if you focus in job you will be dissatisfied. Focus on study, and money will be handy... more or less, 15 euros per hour is unrealistic.. just know you will work and be able to pay your bills if you are not big spender.

myright:
How many hours per week are part time students allowed to work? Will I need a working permit to work while schooling?

It depends on where you choose to work,
Restaurants = more or less than 20 hours
Interims = less than 20 hours except if you work well n your boss likes you, you do exactly 20 hours when you work with the interim (agent).

So in all kitchen, restaurant, fast food MAY get you more than 20 hrs..

You don’t need work permit anymore.. it’s now embedded in your resident permit..

DeeKeem:
Thanks for this.
Please can you address @IMustwin's post

Do you mean the quoted??

IMustWin:
Thanks, but hope it's not too difficult securing a job there?
Which kind of jobs are more common for graduates?
And hope the work permit isn't too complicated?

[b][/b]Over to the gurus

Do you mean this?

Thewizardof0zil:
Thank you.

Yes I did.
To answer your question,
You have to apply to your school and get the normal admission. The provisional admission given to you by the school will be used to apply to language school. So basically you will be given two admission letters from Belgium.

1. For your normal course (3 years or 4)
2. Admission letter for Language course(UCT).

Note: you have to do interview for the Language admission to be given and it’s just English language test, to check if you can understand properly and speak properly, which you have passed already, since you are communicating here on NL.

I HAVE NOT BEEN REPLYING ON NL BASE ON THE FACT THAT MY FRIEND AND BROTHER IS GIVEN RESPONSE ALREADY (KONJA44).

@others, you doing great Job.
God Bless you all

Stay safe..

IMustWin:
It's actually €10400.
Tnx Boss

This is base on the school.. I have a friend who passed through this, normally blocked account by the government is maybe like 7k or so, but some schools will insist on the amount you have to pay in order for them to issue you certificate of solvency. I have seen it and I have argued it, but at the end, law na law oo

victorsol:
I don't think so and besides by that time you should be working at least

Nice Job bro...
All international student are mandated to proof financial sufficiency for each academic year they stay in Belgium.. you can work and save up to do sufficiency. But have in mind.. one must suffer for you to get that amount of money for blocked account.. either your going to class suffers... or your body suffers.. either of the two.

So in all renewal requires finical proof each year.

IMustWin:
Yes you have.
Thank you very much sir and plz let's try keep this thread flowing.
Gracias!

One more question please!
To renew my Resident permit in Belgium, do I need any proof of financial sufficiency?
I'm actually applying to VUB for a BSc course and they need a block account of about €10k for visa/RP for 1 year as living expenses. So I'm concerned if they would still require me to show this €10k again for the subsequent renewal of my RP.
Godbless sir.

You need to proof financial sufficiency every year as a student in order for your resident permit to be renewed.

There are two ways; BLOCKED ACCOUNT or A SPONSOR BY PROVIDING ANNEXE 32

victorsol:
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Same to you bro... More successes

konja44:
Pre admission in Ugent is not conditional admission nah. The Pre admission is just to tell u that your Bachelor degree meets Ugent requirements for a Master degree. This is the admission you got from the department. Then when you send ur legalized documents, u will get official admission letter from Ugent admissions office.

For the tuition fee. It is strange have not heard of that. I even know other students who have gotten pre admission but were not ask to pay a Tuition fee before they get their official admission letter.

For the PM check your email

Dem don start.. Artevelde sef and Thomasmore

ProfEinstein:
Bro are you studying or living in Belgium now? I really need your advice urgently

I replied your message already.. we can talk..
I study in Belgium so technically I live in Belgium as an international student.

ProfEinstein:
Hello house
I just got admitted to KU Leuven. I am worried about the sponsorship thing. My sponsor resides in UK and earns 1900pounds ! monthly. I don't know if that will limit my chances of solvent sufficiency and visa . Gurus in the house help a brother , it's really urgent .

If your sponsor don’t have a child yet or married... it should be enough...
1900 pounds should be around 2000 euros.

Make sure your sponsor is not shy or easily intimidated, the woman at the Belgium Embassy UK no dey look face oo.. she dey Para..

My dad has been there twice and the woman no get Joy.. I had to go to commune here in Belgium before she signed my Annexe 32, my dad chose truout my study, the woman cancel am, she change am to 1 year. She called Police on him once..

So make your sponsor no just do calm oo..
