Oga I rep Griffith and work.with the international team so am speaking from experience.

Cheers

Ok.. No harms ... Wanted to confirm for u guys in the school cos I'm in Griffith... But since u are a rep.. Let me leave you to do your job...

ICaSNg:
Irish visa issued in Nigeria is just for 3 months. It's a single entry visa cos you're required to apply for your Irish residence permit when you arrive in Ireland and this costs an additional fee of 300-350 euros

Yes... But when you get to the dublin airport it will be extended for another 3months extra and within that 3month you are expected to process your residential permit which cost €300... Your best bet is when you enter Ireland download a app called GNIB... And you can't process the permit without opening a Bank account in Ireland, your medical insurance and a letter from school.... VERY IMPORTANT!

ICaSNg:
You're not entirely correct. Griffith collects a partial payment of 6000 euros.
That's actually the minimum deposit you can make before applying for a study permit.

Partial payment accepted for people who are not from Africa most times.... But I can confirm for you at the international office of Griffith this morning...

ohakskid:

moe0164:
Hi. You guys are doing a terrific job on here. I'm Ibrahim and new on this forum. I'll be applying to U of Limerick for my LLM this year and need to get some facts right. Can I actually pay 6000 euros first as my programme is 12k and actually get the visa? an agent seems to think I must pay all else I'd be denied or my visa grant dragged till I pay. Has anyone actually gotten a visa with 6k payment as on the Irish immigration website ? Thanks

If you are coming to Griffith College,.... U pay in full sir

hi guys, been a while.... have been busy with Assignments up and down...

now straight to my point... if you have been given admission in ireland and you are sure of coming.. please try to get contacts of people coming as well so that u guys can arrange for accommodation... cos accommodation is not easy here.... on a average of 400EURO per month....
ALSO... learn to be patient.... cos u wont get everything u want immediately... its all about APPOINTMENTS here.

For people coming for Msc..... its all about research assignments and exam..... improve your presentation skills very well.

For Jobs... jobs are very much available here provided your documents are complete and you meet the requirement.

Everything na like movie o.... Protocol everywhere,.. Even for u to see me u gatz book appointment

cnonwnuwsp17:

I'm live in Dublin... And I must say its very different here... It gets dark as early as 5:30pm... Was in Griffith today and met with Ciarán. For those that want to reg for Sim, kindly reg wit virgin media... They are doing promo...and it ends on Jan 31st... 5euro for 5months with 30gig. I.e 5euro each month....

baeAF:

ceceliaa34:
Hi everyone. My visa was approved today! Processing time: 3 weeks and 4 days. I wanna say thanks to everyone on this forum that helped out in one way or another.

I'm so glad I didn't give up after my Canadian refusal. Some people thought I was crazy applying for visa on the 21st of December when school resumes January 2018, looks like my 'craze' paid off in the end, God be praised!

Who else is going to DBS?

Congrats ooo.... Happy for u
When are you leaving

pristine88:
LOL... You best carry your school docs in your hand luggage to avoid delay or stories that touch...it shouldn't be a big deal

.... That's common sense...

niyogeol:
Your admission letter, health insurance, Pta, sometimes evidence that you have booked a temporary accommodation.

I just chatted Mr Ciarán, Griffith regional marketer for africa Europe and Asia. He said the what they will require at the immigration point is just the international passport. And I think for those going to Griffith this January have gotten necessary info... Abt Dublin, transportation, accommodation, school map and co.

Please the information was not to counter the previous post... Just passing info

cnonwnuwsp17:
Where are you flying from, which airline and how much did you pay. I got Turkish airways from ABV @ 184k one way.

ICaSNg:
Happy New year people

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So first and foremost, wishing those leaving or resuming in Ireland this January journey mercies and success...

Moving on, if this thread does not get deleted, I'll be sharing career progression tips for PG students/graduates in Ireland----i.e moving to the US, Canada or Australia after MSc and PSW stay period in Ireland.


Stay tuned

If it get deleted... We will open another one

pristine88:
My Brother i am just about to leave but you have time on your side and i will update as it goes....but from research it seems opportunities abound, if you feel griffith is too high you should try other schools in and outside dublin

Boss I'm going to Griffith too... Wen are u leaving in Jan...

lovesavvi:
pls after I paid 6k euro as deposit of tuition fees, how much can I show as minimum acct balance . Self sponsor thanks.

A minimum of €7000 and please don't do a lump deposit in the account... Since its a self sponsor package...u will write a comprehensive sponsor letter cos u will need to tell them how you came about EUR7k

rapheal5:
Useless thread why won't u talk about working visa

It can only be useless to you.....
Very useful to others.... Instead of you to ask about your problem (working visa) u are here writing rubbish

Moimoi in English is called Beans Pudding...

pristine88:
No Solution o......Na to find their money o but i guess as time goes on and we know the city we can move to cheaper accomodations outside the city

Are you going to Ireland too? If yes which college or university?

For those of us going to Ireland (Dublin to be precise)... What's up with accommodation... The ones have seen no b joke oooo...freaking expensive... If u have a solution kindly suggest

Godson201333:
Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays are days that flights fare are generally cheap..Fridays Saturdays and sundays are always expensive moreover it also depends on the season.

100% correct... Especially Tuesdays

ceceliaa34:
Okay thanks. How does one go about filling the host form on the online application? I dont have family in Dublin.

Which one is host form? I don't think you will fill that since u don't know any1 in Dublin

ceceliaa34:
Please, how much is Visa fee?

It Depends in whether you are applying for single or multiple entry.... But check there website... It's written there. Also ensure wen going to the embassy you go with the cash and not transfer or pos.....

RAY12345:
Hello Glokit, @bold, that's after tuition payment right?

Yes... After tuition fee

Noirdeblanc:
good day, I want to ask if my maternal aunt can be my sponsor when applying for visa and what is the minimum balance that should be in her account for it to fly.

Yes she can be your sponsor but make sure her sponsorship letter is very comprehensive I.e stating why she is sponsoring you and what she stand to gain since she is not your parent. The minimum account statement is EUR 7000 (#3.1m) but please don't do a lump deposit of cash oo.... Let the account read a steady flow of money....

cnonwnuwsp17:
Please for those that have collected there Passport, when you submitted did VFS send you any email that your application has been dispatch? I didn't get any email or text msg.

Also it's been two weeks since my submission and I am still getting the update below on my profile. Is that the only update you get till you receive your passport? My previous applications via VFS, Canadian and SA I had four diff updates throughout the application period, from the application to collection
1. application received by VFS
2. application forwarded to the embassy
3. application receipt and processing
4. passport return

I was thinking I should be seeing the third update not the second.

Thanks

That's the only update you will see
