Thank you all

@pixxon
U claimed that your students' left for Ukraine last week and the week b4? But on the Ukrainian embassy in Nigeria, it is clearly stated that

"Be advised that students are allowed to enter the territory of Ukraine between 15 August and 15 November only. Visa interviews are being conducted between 1 July and 11 November".

So can you justify your claims cos i understand that they offer only one set of admission in a year. i stand to be corrected!


@bbwolex

U a welcome.




INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

AND INTERMEDIARY COMPANIES



Please read all the information carefully. If you do not follow the instructions described below your application will not be accepted or you will be denied visa. This page will be updated periodically.



Check the following recourses if you need general information about educational system of Ukraine, to review the list of higher educational institutions in Ukraine, to choose a school and a course of study:

It is advisable that a prospective student personally makes basic research on Ukraine, its traditions and lifestyle, a city where s/he is going to stay, his/her school and the course of study. To live and study abroad, in a different part of the world is the experience of life and an advantage in itself. Ukraine is a large European country with rich history and culture worthwhile to explore and understand, but for someone unprepared such a change can cause major culture shock and frustration, and lead to quitting studies. Hence young people travelling from West Africa to East Europe are expected to have some basic familiarity with the country of destination.



To apply for student visa a prospective student has to obtain an original of an invitation valid for a particular school. According to the Ukrainian legislation there are only two legal ways to obtain such an invitation: (i) directly from a school (not through friends or relatives staying in Ukraine), which is possible only if an applicant stayed in Ukraine before and obtained the invitation during the period of his/her stay; or (ii) through intermediary companies (not private persons, but companies) which signed an agreement either with the Ukrainian Centre for International Education of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine or with a particular school. If an agreement is signed with a school the latter must send a copy of such an agreement to the Ukrainian Centre for International Education for registration. The reverse side of each invitation should be filled by an inviting school stating name of an intermediary company and its certificate number. Invitations with empty space on the reverse side WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, unless they were received by an applicant directly from a school (not by mail, not through other people).



Please be informed that intermediary companies cannot guarantee visa under any circumstances. Nobody has any influence on the decision made by a consular officer. So if you are asked to pay for positive decision you are being fleeced. An intermediary company can only consult you on a selection of a school and a course of study, receive an invitation, assist with preparation of the documents necessary for application for student visa, provide other consulting services. Refuse to pay for positive decision on your visa application, for forge of the documents with the view to comply with the requirements (on fake documents and other grounds for refusal to issue visa read on a separate sheet), for jumping the queue, for issuance of visa in your absence (personal interview is absolutely obligatory).



Be advised that students are allowed to enter the territory of Ukraine between 15 August and 15 November only. Visa interviews are being conducted between 1 July and 11 November.



Applicants for student visa have to submit the following documents:



(i) passport valid for at least one month after an expiration of visa (normally student visa is a single entry visa valid for twelve months, but if you have not extended your passport validity visa duration will be shorter where possible or application will not be accepted if passport has expired or close to expire at the date of application). Please, allow at least one empty page for a visa;



(ii) application form. It is free of charge to download an electronic version of an application form from this web-site or to obtain a paper version at the Embassy. If you choose to collect a paper application form at the Embassy and submit it on the same day, please, keep in mind that you have to fill in it carefully, clearly and precisely, so you may wish to spend some time for this purpose. Application form must be filled in and signed personally by the applicant;



(iii) original invitation with the name of an intermediary company and its certificate number on the reverse side and a photocopy of the invitation. When you receive an invitation make sure there are no mistakes and typos: your name, date of birth, passport number should be identical to those indicated in your passport you submit for visa;



(iv) copies of the educational credentials (testimonial, the grades obtained (WAEC, NECO), and if an applicant goes for the Master’s - the first degree too), each legalised by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria. Ministry does not legalise originals, hence photocopies must be legalised and submitted WITH the originals. All the documents must be translated into Ukrainian*;



(v) eligibility letter issued by the Ministry of Education of Nigeria stating that an applicant has completed secondary education at a recognised school in Nigeria and s/he is entitled to pursue his/her Bachelor’s degree at any higher educational institution in Nigeria. If an applicant intends to go for the Master’s the letter should state that an applicant obtained his/her Bachelor’s degree at a recognised higher educational institution in Nigeria and is entitled to pursue his/her Master’s degree at any higher educational institution in Nigeria. The letter must be legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria. The letter must be translated into Ukrainian*;



(vi) medical certificates** of general fitness and of HIV negative status of an applicant (can be one medical certificate or two separate certificates, but HIV negative status must be stated directly and easily identified, no expressions like “Retroviral test –” or “ART test” should be used). This certificate must be legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria. It must be also translated into Ukrainian*. Medical certificates are valid for TWO MONTHS, which means an applicant has to enrol to his/her institution within two months since medical certificates were issued;



(vii) original of birth certificate and a copy legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria. Birth certificate must be translated into Ukrainian*;



(viii) receipts from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria for payment for legalisation of the documents mentioned above;



(ix) original and a photocopy of medical insurance covering medical aid and repatriation of the body, valid until the end of November 2009. No need for legalisation or translation of medical insurance;



(x) original of a sponsorship letter in a form of a court affidavit, which must include a full name of a sponsor, his/her address, landline and mobile telephone number, email (if any), and obligation of a sponsor to cover expenses of an applicant (amount of money needed for tuition fees and daily expenses should be stated in US dollars);



(xi) a photocopy of good quality of a data page of the sponsor’s passport or his/her National Identity Card or driving license;



(xiii) original of recent bank statements of a sponsor (for the past six months);



(xiv) open return ticket valid for one year and its photocopy;



(xv) any other documents which can strengthen an application (if there is a gap after applicant’s last study exhaustive evidence of what an applicant did during that period must be submitted. If an applicant continued his/her studies but have not graduated, was employed, or did charity, or travelled or was involved in self education or the like, STRONG proofs should be presented (transcripts from university, letter of appointment, letter from employer, payslips, ID cards, photographs, receipts etc etc). This is an applicant’s responsibility to prove by any means his/her genuine intentions to study, to finish his/her course of study and not to breach immigration rules of Ukraine. So bring to the interview any documents you can suggest can strengthen your application.

Accommodation for 2-3 people apartment is 300US dollar per year as against someones quote which is wrong though I realise that taste might be different (Class)

Guys do research, though there is no harm getting help from people who are more experienced but i hate extortion to the bone marrow, administrative fees 80k, haba, just for scanning and sending mails,there are some schools that will even help you do the translation at no cost, lol, u dont believe it. things happen.
