Congrat . But the course you choose is it taught in English? What time did you apply ? And do they allow you to apply without legalized documents at the Portuguese embassy ? Cos I have authenticated but waiting to legalized at the embassy

You need to legalize your documents before applying, inorder not to be denied admission after paying 50-70£ application fee, some have been denied already this year for this year for this same purpose, we strongly advice you authenticate and legalize before applying most of the schs are serious on this...
For the course taught in English you can mail the course coordinator to inquire if can be taught in English most time they do if they have upto 3 International students that register for the course.

honey001:
Please, how do one select transcript on MOE portal when booking for authentication?

Transcript falls under, other documents, i advice if you are coming to do it yourself do not uploade your document on the portal by yourself leave it till you get here in order not to make sum costly mistake that might affect your process as some did, there other technicalities to that upload you can do it in the designated café around MOE.

favor2016:
That should be on the last page of your transcript

that should be in your official transcript page

Local information

All documents must be legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MNE) of Nigeria before being legalized by the Embassy of Portugal. For most documents, the signature of the MNE cannot exceed 6 months. For police certificates, the MNE signature cannot exceed 3 months.

It is mandatory to bring

- 2 photocopies on separate sheets (without back/front only) of each document to be legalized;

- Copy of the applicant's passport (if it is a marriage certificate, both applicants must be identified);

- Documents in poor condition and/or illegible cannot be accepted;

- Plasticized documents must have enough space on the original paper to be legalized;

- All documents will be subject to an authenticity check before being legalized, so we do not carry out legalizations on the same day.

The minimum fee for document verification starts from 150,000 NGN.

I just got a date. But too far for me . I’m thinking of canceling hoping maybe I could see a more closer date pls I need your advice . I read on this thread someone was saying is 20 euros for legalization but i am seeing 150k there . Can someone pls help to clarify these

20 euros is for document legalization, why verification of certificates like marriage cert, birth cert without Token Attracts verification fees which ranges from 150,000k-350,000k, they use this money to engage lawyer to go and find out the Genuity of your certificate, this excludes PCC cert your are not being charged for PCC verification, because they have platform to check it Genuity online.
stick with your date, because getting dates now is even getting competitive, hope you the number of applicants have doubled this year.

bossminded:
What do you think about vocational schools do you recommend it? Cos I just applied for one

No, it is for one year RP and once you are done, you are coming back, because you will be giving only one year RP, except you enroll in another course immediately you finish the one you are going for, inorder to elongate your stay over there.

sasho9ja:
Now they've joined Schengen, is it advisable to go study there?

Will their visa approval rate get better?

Will dates for legalization and visa appointments be available?

Their visa approval rate is high, there's availability of appointment.
You can from their to any other Schengen country of your choice, this an open secret for those looking g for Poland work visa for long you can go through study routes, information is key.
If you want to do that do not hesitate because in no distance time they will tighten up as I observed in their Embassy recently.

Indigbo:
"All available dates have been reserved, please make an appointment at a later date."

How ? For study, work or legal matters ?

kwhiz:
No, I don't have the student copy .

Which copy do you have.

mcjendol:
Please can BSc student bring family to Portugal ?and
what documents am I authenticating at mofa and Moe for BSc?
Thank you 🙏

You can go along with your depends if you can afford it
For BSC, you will authenticate your Waec and transcript( SS1-SS3 )

[quote author=lekejohnson2222 post=134261604]Well, I am aware you are an agent and you know a number of things. However, advise people to get the original transcript but not the student's copy of transcript. Student's copy of transcript was once rejected in my presence inside the embassy after wasting money and effort to authenticate at the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is a way original transcript can be collected. Just let your university address it to an address where you will be able to possess it. That's all.


I do advice student to obtain their transcript directly through using ministry address to request for their transcript, but in regards to Portugal, student copy is accepted, their different classes of student copy, sometimes I do advised and request to see their student copy first, their many things that make some difference and unique from others which make Embassy to accept them. This is because some sch the process and method of getting the other copy is difficult and time consuming.
Among the ones i guided non them was reject, May you didn't follow proper guidance like some of you do, like we see at the embassy often, May be that may be part of the reason your own was rejected.
Student copy transcript are of different categories.

Good evening bro!

In a scenario where schools say they don’t give transcript copies to students, how do I go about the verification?

Do you have the student copy you collected from your sch, if you do it will be accepted.

Mboi:
I want to verify and validate my academic credentials in Ministry of Education and ministry of foreign affair. I live in Lagos. Is there a way one can do that in Lagos or must it be in Abuja?
Please guys, I need your help on how to go about it.

You will need to send your documents to Abuja for that to be done
Which documents do you want to authenticate?
And which country do you want to used it for ?.

Mafu2g2:
I’m really confuse here . Then how come people have been saying on these thread that they charge at the embassy to legalise your documents .

You will pay for verification of Waec and transcript ranging from 200k-300k depending on the state you sch. That of Hnd and Nd holders is 250k for verification at the embassy, but that of Bsc and its transcript are free, But you you will need appointment to submit for verification/Legalization.

Mafu2g2:
Pls how long does authentication at MOE takes . I sent Someone there since Monday , even after paying 25k to hasten things, still telling me server is down , I’m beginning to doubt him seriously

There was network issues on monday and Tuesday, there was no light, which was later compounded by network glitches, so they didn't do any work on those 2 days.

michelle94:
Please, did you send your original documents for authentication?

It is your original certificate that will be authenticated

sewenbigboi:
Good morning
Pls do we need to legalize documents again from the embassy? I already legalized my HND nd and nabteb and waec from the ministry of foreign affairs and ministry of education are we still going to legalize at Portugal embassy?

After authentication at moe&mofa, you will book appointments date to legalize the Hnd, Nd and its transcripts at the embassy..Note you pay verification fee befor legalization.
