onomeb2k:
Good morning friends,
if there's anyone admitted to ISCTE DM let's create Whatsapp group and look for way to get visa appointments from embassy

I have repeatedly say it here, you cannot get appointment now from Embassy because they no longer release appointment through VFS.
It is the schools that help to get visa appointment for their prospective students from the Embassy, this the situation now.
The students coming for visa interview now got the appointment from their school after their school reachout to embassy, some disturbed their schools for months before their school came through for them.
So mail your school requesting them to help you schedule appointment with embassy for your visa application submission, be persistent about it.

Mrrrosaro:
Anyone here admitted to aveiro. Pls if you have started your visa process can you hi me let's chat ?

Have you gotten admission and visa appointment visa appointment for submission?
Aveiro students are not scarce.
If you gotten admission I can guide you on your request.

onomeb2k:
which school is that, cause I've been messaging iscte they don't help

Keep disturbing them, that was the position of other schools before they started to assist their prospective students.
That's the only option now.

bugatti453:
How do we get VFS slot for Visa purposes oo. Admission dn de, time de go oo

Write to your sch for Visa appointment, VFS cannot give you appointment fir now, they no longer released appointment online, those that are getting visa appointment for visa submission of their application did that through the help of their sch.
That's the only way now.
I have someone that his sch refused to intervene in getting them visa appointment last year, but after putting much pressure on their sch, reminding them that others sch did that for their student, his sch intervene and got them visa appointment through the embassy, last month, him and his fellow student submitted their visa application this week.

Hello guys In addition to authenticating and legalizing your documents before at the embassy before applying for admission, make sure you check the list of Documents needed for Admission in schools in Portugal.
Portugal Admission Application
portugal admission process and procedures Is not all about the
qualification you have but experience in your field is relevant.

Work Experience
motivation,
Certificate,
publications and Publications.
I fact add any documents that you think will aid you in getting admission, because it is getting competitive now.

BabaIbo:
Hello, good afternoon, I want to start my legalization and authentication process before applying for admission.

Is it a good move or I should apply first before going for legalization and authentication?

That's the best move, to stand a better chance of being offered admission, some sch will tell you to apply without legalization, but later they will deny admission base on the same reason, it happened last year, so if you don't want those schools to collect your money in form of application fee, legalize before applying to schs in Portugal, even as the admission process of schs in Portugal is getting competive.

Alaidi01:
