Form A Update
Form A is an application form designed by the Central Bank of Nigeria to pay for service transactions (invisible trade). Form A is electronically done and does not require your presence.

It can be accessed via

https://www.tradesystem.gov.ng/

Form A is the cheapest means of payment for international students.
Form A is not really easy and it is always advisable that applicants start on time as it may take about 15 working days or more and the processing time depends on the bank. Some banks may take about 30 days or more depending on the already existing queue.

NB: Form A is not only for new students. Returning students abroad can use it.


FORM A SERVICES

The prevalent services it’s utilised for are:

- School fees

- Medical bills

- Training Courses

- Mortgage and others


DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR FORM A

1. Offer letter
2. Degree Certificate
3. Invoice from School
4. School bank details
5. Letter of Authorization to withdraw (may be typed or hand-written containing your signature)
6. Passport Bio page
7. Student's ID card (returning students)
8. Residential Address (returning Students - not quite necessary)
9. BVN
10. Your Gmail must be linked to your BVN

N/B: If you fail to provide any of the above documents, you will be rejected. Again, CBN charges N5,000 per form A transaction.


STEP BY STEP GUIDE

- Visit https://www.tradesystem.gov.ng

- Click on the Form A floating button

- Click on Sign Up

- Input your BVN ( your Gmail will pop up in a cryptic format)

- Log in to your mail and copy the code sent to your mail and input in the text area at tradesystem.gov.ng portal.

- Select your password

- It's advisable to use Chrome in order to save your password for future access

- Click on Form A and follow screen prompt

- Remember to select YES on " available for Forex.

- Make sure you provide input correct information from the school and provide a genuine information.

- Make sure you monitor your progress to know if there's a request from the processing bank.


Stages Involved in Form A

1. Adb_Reviewer: This is a bank officer who assesses your submitted informations and if deemed correct, will recommend for Approval.

2. Adb_Supervisor: This is also a bank officer who Approves the recommended information by the adb_reviewer.

3. Adb_disbursment_reviewer: This is also a bank head office officer who assesses the required recipient's details and the amount required to process your application. If he finds everything satisfactory, then debit is processed.

4. Adb_disbursment_Supervisor : This is the final stage. The bank officer do verify and confirm the debit and term your application successful.

NB: Some banks may leave your application on ADB_DISBURSEMENT_REVIEWER level even after transaction is completed. It's not a problem at all. All you should bother about is your TELEX copy which serves as an Prove of payment.

Again, Form A can be processed from every part of the country but you must be a Nigerian.

Down Points

Form A is not the only source of payment. There's black market whose rate is not friendly but is faster.
Form A is a secured means but it might take time depending on the processing bank.
Again, there are some charges outside CBN and Tuition fees, it's advisable to have extra N15,000 because it was my experience.

Note: Starting your Form A journey on time is an advantage.
For tuition fee around £4,000, you can save upto N900k using Form A.

Updating........

Good morning all, Please I need help urgently, I wanted to pay for Cas with Bradford but I couldn't get date for TB so I'm opting for Northumbria university because it doesn't require TB. But I have an issue with Northumbria, I was give a two years project management masters with advance practice but I want to switch to a one year masters and I have been writing to the school but no response yet and time is running out as I am for January. I need advice, someone has changed his course of study here at Northumbria but I can't trace him.

I will just have to have to skip Bradford and go for Northumbria University

Oluwatosinliz:
it is better to go there and complain to them at the IOM, otherwise you will not be able to meet up with the deadline

I stay in port Harcourt, its just sad, because i really wanted to go with Bradford University

AOI2016:
If you stay in Lagos or Abuja,kindly go to their office and get a date.

Good morning all, I have similar ish, but mine is in the case of the TB test, I am not seeing any available date. I am yet to pay the initial deposit because the Cas issuance is tied to obtaining TB test result. Please can I get a date either Friday or next week Monday?

Patnuel2015:
Bro they need POF and the deadline is 23 November. Since they gave her offer just recently, I will advise that you call the school as they may make an exception for her. See the attached they sent me yesterday.

NommyD:
Wow! i applied same day with you too (MAY 12TH) , but still no update...eligibility review is yet to start as well

Same here 11th May no update of any kind � � �

May 11th no single update for me

PatrickOkunima:
Evening house, please is there any first time applicant for May (Non NSE) whose eligibility review has started?

Thank you, will do that

CHIKACIC:
IMHO, you can still forward to Nairobi office, no harm done. Las, las, it will help in bringing your application to the attention of the visa office in charge of your application.

Hope this helps.

I actually don't know who or where my application is being handled. My Eligibility has not started, just showing "application in progress"

makano:
What's the status of your application? Has your ELIGIBILITY started. Not a bad sign, just that your application will go through the normal/regular route.

Those sending theirs to Nairobi is cos their application is being handled by Nairobi VOs, is your application handled by Nairobi VOs? And even if its being handled by NAIROBI VOs, since you have sent to Lagos office, its still okay.. Lagos office will re-route to the office handling your application.. But their is no harm sending an email and copying the several likely VISA offices in your mail.. Peace

Good morning gurus, this is my first time posting, I actually applied on May 12th, did my biometrics may 21 and passed upfront medicals June 21, but I didn't get request for NSE route, hope its not a bad sign?

I also paid part fees and I sent receipt from school through lagos webform, but seeing people talking more about Nairobi office. Should I still forward to Nairobi office?
Please I need clarifications

Mine took just one day

quote author=drix128 post=80519167]Hello house. Please those that have done their documentation, how many days did you spend on it?
