. Thanks for the prompt response and the willingness to help. My friend got a visa refusal based on insufficient funds according to what he told me. I see that namebdis4 had similar challenge that s/he overcame, that's why I want a private chat with him/ her so s(he) can help my friend on how his appeal can be positive. I am new like I said before and don't want to run foul of the rules of this noble platform. Thanks in anticipation

Okay bro...i hope what I will say will help...
First of all appeal takes time(study)...
My advise is to re-apply which was wat I did when I got refusal in Nov and also what NAME did. Correct the mistake and you are bound to get your visa...
If u decide its appeal it will definitely take more than 2months or so and it is a 50/50 chance of a positive response or decision

Walatadadon:
. Pls how can I reach u privately, someone visa was recently refused so he needs info on how to go about things, he's not ds platform and am also new

What info do you require?
If its about blocking or Annexe 32.. Please share... We can help

I sent a mail to a university college to enquire about there application requirements etc and this was there response.

Dear Student
Thank you for your interest in our school.
Unfortunately we have the experience that students from non-European countries who apply for our international semesters, do not receive a visa (not even with a Letter of Acceptance from our side), unless if they already live in Belgium.
We advise you to search for a full course degree in English (Masters or Bachelors degree), where acceptance will give you real chances of getting a student visa.
You can find more information about Higher Education Accredited Degree programs in Flanders in ENGLISH at www.studyinflanders.be . You find also information there about visa requirements etc.
Good luck!

I don't know what this implies and what will be my response, I need help.

To my understanding you cant use admission from university college to get visa ( theirs) ..
Look for university and apply...

PS: ANYONE KNOWS SOMEONE IN BELGIUM? PLEASE I NEED APARTMENT IN GHENT, I NEED ONE WHERE DOMICILE IS POSSIBLE... THANK YOU..PLEASE HELP

BarrEgo:
Thanks a lot. Application already in progress... Please, what documents did you submit for Ugent? I'm asking on behalf of my younger brother, we no wan make any mistake. He's considering BSc International Relations. He's 22. A student of NOUN, studying Peace and Conflict Resolution (just entered 2nd year).

Every document that can help his admission... Every one of it... Submit it...
Have u been asked to upload it..if yes..make sure its PDF n try write a convincing motivation letter

BarrEgo:
Fikki1, what's the application process for Ghent? I'm asking on behalf of a friend.

It's easy let me not say otherwise, you apply online through oasis, n afterwards u wait for their reply if u are asked to continue, it means u will be considered for admission... Your motivation matters a lot... Bsc in Ghent is a Dutch taught program so u will have to apply for language program after your admission is granted..

Application fee is not needed for Ghent university...

You can still apply i assume before January 31st

Any more info... Dont hesitate to ask...

@fikki after doing some research yesterday based on the info you gave me, I realized most of the preparatory programmes starts February and the bsc programme starts sept and it quite clear one can't meet up with the preparatory programme and without that applying for bsc is not worth it since it will be thought in dutch. What do I do? and how much does the preparatory programme cost?

Like I said previously, preparatory year of Dutch is for BSc programme tot in Dutch... You can only apply for the preparatory program if n only when your preferred school has given you admission to study ... To apply, you must have your admission letter from your preferred school.
Admission for BSC is still on for some schools till ending ... Application for preparatory year starts by August...

Note: Your BSC admission will be for year 2018/2019... While preparatory admission will be 2017/2018...but you must hv admission for BSC first...

The pay for the preparatory year is 2250 euros... For 8months Jan to Aug...
Levels 1-6


I hope I answered your questions.. Happy weekend bro...

Rapahel1116:

ogedozie:
Thanks for the quick response fikki,
1. Apart from January to august are there no other period to enroll?
2. Can one get a visa with just the preparatory program? if no, how do one go about it as relate to studying a course with dutch language?

2. Yes..u will be giving if your course requires ut

kesx:
i got this mail from the school i applied to, all my certificates are in English i am confused on what to do next
i am applying for a master degree in International Business Management.


Dear prospective student of KU Leuven,

Thank you for your application!

This email serves to inform you that your application is currently incomplete. The missing documents that you need to upload are:
· TOEFL/IELTS score report or proof of registration for the TOEFL/IELTS-test
· GMAT/GRE score report or proof of registration for the GMAT/GRE-test


You should also still send certified hard copies through post.

Kind regards

It's clear na... Provide IELTS or TOEFL certificate n upload... Afterwards send them hard copies of your document dats after u legalized them at the Embassy

ogedozie:
its quite a relief hearing such good news from you. I've read this page from start to this point and this is the first encouraging word from this page.
my question is for how long does the dutch preparatory course take?

8 months.. January to August... Which will enable u enrol for your program by September....

good morning,
happh new year to all... for those who intends studying in belgium, its a long process, so u need to start ontime, above all most school application is still on,

Preparatory programs are msinly for those going for bsc in dutch n not english language programs, also if u r going for masters but you didnt meet their requirement, you MIGHT be asked to go for preparatory class/course before you can enrol for your course.

About 10 of us applied for Belgium visa for 2016/2017 academic session last year... and i can say cleatly that we all got our visa..we recorded 100% visa approval for all of us who worked together on NL even though some gotrefused cos of funds but re applied and still got it..

Never the less, Belgium visa is easy as long as you get your sponsor ...YOU WILL DEFINITELY GET YOUR VISA u have to pass intervies though...

On behalf of the rest, we will be willing to assist anyway we can, God that helped us hasnt changed His form... He willsurely help u too..

lets know whats the iss,challenge n we will tackle it here on NL.. you can do it and you will get it.

cc: skinny,tunde,bonga,biene,bayo.,frank, francis n others...

happy new year

yomyjoe:
I don come again oh, pls oh make una epp me oh....

For the visa application for sponsor, should I use my place of employment as sponsor sending me for the masters or should I use self sponsor or family sponsor?

I was thinking place of employment as sponsor will show ties to Nigeria (I will provide my leave letter from the company and also write in my motivational letter that my company is sponsoring me for the masters because of a project that they want to launch soon) and hopefully convince the visa officer that I will return after the masters will give me a higher chance of getting the visa compared to family or self sponsor.

Please advise me abeg


@oluwamitomisin @namebdis4 @generalbush @vansledge @fikki1

I don't think a company can sponsor...but an individual in d company dat earns about a million every month with proof dat it his/her monthly income... I will suggest u use a foreign sponsor or blocked fund (7600 euros). I stand to be corrected anyway...

Secondly, are you applying for visa soon or your session is for 2017/2018? Please help me clarify dat... I believe the admission for 2016/2017 is closed... In essence the sponsor rate will be changed( every academic year)... 2015 was 617 or so, 2016 is 631 am sure 2017 will differ..

I hope this helps...

yomyjoe:
Good evening my people oh.... thanks to everyone one that has been contributing to this topic. God go bless all of us. We are really learning.

I want to ask concerning admission to Ghent University. It concerns legalisation of my documents because they said I should send a hard copy of my documents by post before I can be considered for admission.

So I want to ask if I have to authenticate my documents at the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs then take it to the Belgian Embassy for Legalisation before sending by courier to the school OR I should only legalise at the Belgian Embassy and send send as courier to the school.

I am asking because the first option of Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs then Belgian Legalisation will be very expensive for me.

Pls guys, I believe in you. Epp me abeg.

Thanks

Belgian Embassy will only legalise authorised signature..... Which means it must have MOE N MOFA legalisation... MOFA will only legalise ur school certificate if its legalised by MOE.....it means

MOE leads to MOFA which leads to Belgian Embassy....

Good evening everyone,

Thank you all for the informative post.

It's my first time using this app, though I couldn't read up all the 20 pages. I want to re-apply for Vliruos scholarship this October as my application last October 2015 wasn't successful. Please I would really need help from those who have been successful in previous application.

Please do well to help a sis, as application date is drawing near. Thank you all

wingeddove:

Yes sure... This week hopefully... Hope u r good

shimze:
Good day, I also want to begin the visa application process, but my sponsor doesn't receive upto €2000 monthly, what can I do?

Its not necessarily 2000 euros... This is the breakdown... Your sponsor should have 1156 for himself.... 635 for you.... And 150 for each dependant ... So if your sponsor don't have dependant den you should aim 1791 euros monthly... But if he has dependant. You will have to add 150euros on dat amount for each dependant ... If he has 2 dependant, then we are talking about 2091 if its one dependant, we are talking of 2091-150=1941 ... So it all depends on the number of dependant your sponsor have.


Secondly



He can use block account if he can get the loan for you and will repay at convenient time..just my suggestion though... The decision is yours and your sponsor to make... I hope tomisin and I are able to help out... Others who has gotten their visa can also help our bro out oooo... @167tunde...@namebdis4....@biene...@dbay01... Someone needs help please...

Meanwhile... Goodluck bro...

Happy weekend

My Dear pipo. I got a positive decision about my visa application. It is a long story. Actually my first visa application was on the 14th of July 2016 which i got a negative decision on the 11th of August 2016 due to insufficient funds. I then reapply on the 25th of August 2016 and my file got to the immigration office on the 5th of September 2016. On the 12th of September 2016 i got a positive decision. Belgium here i come. Thanks to everyone for the support an ideas we put together. More good news are on the way. God is great

Congrats bro... Success all the way.. God will do ours too
