You are suppose to defer the admission send latest admission offer to the embassy so they won't base their judgement on the fact that admission is over then resume September but wait till end of feb

Brilliant. New offer for September and updated payment confirmation from the school.

For all newcomers , please read pages 1 to 20. And recent posts between may 2019 and august 2019.

Cheers

Hi pls I need you to help me with this.

I Have a question please, to go to Ireland u need 7000Euros in your bank account.

How long is the money supposed to be in your account.

Is it 6months or 30days when printing your bank statement

You and your sponsor will both present 6 months bank statements- Ireland however deals with inflow , outflow of steady funds and explanation on all lump sum. You are required to show a balance of 3m after paying your tuition in full and definitely more than 3m if using a sponsor.

DammyDurst:
Sorry, other banks like? Because I know one needs to own an account with the banks, right?

Go to another Nigerian bank if you have an account with them or open one if they can make payment to transfermate

Evraunited:
Good day house,
Please am planning to apply for September 2020 intake at Griffith college.
How do I go about the admission process ?
Will I be notified that have been offered admission before making any fee??

Pls your quick response is needed

Apply online - directly on their website

DammyDurst:
Please, I'm begging ni. Who used UBA to make payment via TransferMate (PayToStudy)?

I'm already frustrated as UBA is saying the beneficiary name has to be the name of the school.

@IcasNg, please help!!!

Most banks see Transfermate as 3rd party hence refusal to pay directly to them -You either get the university direct bank details or use another bank

Jaypey21:
Hello house
Please quick question
If you have the opportunity to go to Ireland or uk for masters which is better in terms of life aspect and also staying after school (money is not the problem here)
Please need yiur response

It depends on the course, demand for professionals in such field and relevant years of technical experience you already have that will make you stand out.

As regards stay automatic stay back option, Ireland already has a well-defined structure on that ; the UK however promises to implement this next year - no one can guarantee if brexit will have positive impact on job opportunities.

YourGrandfather:
Abeg somebody should pls reply me

Google GMIT and you'll find information on them.

Cheers

ICaSNg, Chiggsglover, Abuhusna1.... Thanks for your encouragement. With God on my side, I didn't give up! VISA Issued on 28th, got it today. My case ehn, I can't even believe I'm finally holding the visa.

Congrats

donbreeezy:
Yes I sent a return bag and my passport

So hopefully it was approved then. You should get it by Saturday

donbreeezy:
Any appeal news? If the VISA is approved will the Embassy tell me? Cos I called this morning and they just told me my docs have been sent out. So scared now

Yes, 90% of the time they will tell you it has been approved. But if dispatched as at when you called then they may not state if refused or approved.

Did you send a return courier bag with your appeal?

Blakbeauti:
Good Day house,

I’m new here, I need advice on what to do.
I got admission in Dublin, I applied for visa but was denied, reason been that I submitted a fake CAC certificate. I was banned from appealing and applying for visa for the next 5years.

The CAC certificate is actually an original certificate but it’s more than 20 years old. So I had to confirm from the CAC office where it was issued if they were contacted by the embassy but they said no, so I went to the their HQ in Abuja for a good standing letter stating it’s an original certificate. I submitted these documents to the embassy via a lawyer..

It’s over a month I submitted, please I need an advice on what to do next. I’m to resume 27th of January.

How long do I have to wait before I hear from them?

Send them an email and notify your school's International Officer to help you reach the Embassy too

BarrSly:
Good day ICaSNg I really don't know much about how to go about applying and all that but I'm interested in knowing what it would take to get an Irish Visa and probably stay as well.

#
Kindly read from the beginning; I'll be happy to answer your questions afterwards

DammyDurst:
Hi guys, any one here in UCC or Limerick? Please, I'd like to ask certain questions.

Thank you guys...

1. Do I have to pay 100% tuition fee before applying for the visa as I'm aware there's no room for installmental payments? - You can make payment in installment , but most universities require full payment before visa application/ payment deadline. If your university however accepts partial payment deposit, its better to pay at least 6000 euros / 80% of your Tuition. Emphasis on if your university accepts partial payment.

2. What's the average payment for rent in Cork/Limerick? depending on your taste- Cork @550 -650 euros per month; Limerick @400 - 600 per month

Now, a general question.

When making the tuition payment, can I have the money transfered from my sponsor's account to mine and then make the payment as there could be a possibility that my sponsor (my mum) might not be available during the payment? ---not sure if you and your sponsor will have all documents needed when you get to visa app stage.

Appeals submitted in early November are now being released ! Hoping to hear good news from you guys and ladies soon

Cheers

For professional jobs : Universities offer career fairs , where Employers come on campus to pitch available roles and position in their organisations. LinkedIn is also an excellent tool to use, so update your profile.

Erickonadu6:
If this is true, then they should have done with October appeals by now?....ei Ireland embassy.....hmmm

Not sure if there is a question here. How do we quantify the number of appeals received in October, I don't think I ever mentioned working at the Irish embassy- so all I can do is encourage those affected to keep praying and be positive.

Just so you know. Over 300 student visas was refused for September 2019 intake. That excludes new visa applications for Jan 2020 and Feb 2020 intakes.

TheAfroBlog:
Hello house is it possible to get admission for M.SC Computer Science or M.Eng Software Engineering in Ireland, with a weak second class upper like 3.7?

A 2:2 is a 2:2- weak or strong. It all depends on the requirement of your intended university- I'll however suggest you check their course structure and content carefully and know if you can cope on such before applying anyways.

ExpressBooking:
Please ICASNG, is it possible for a join family visa application to be granted while one of the members of the family who was adopted is refused. Based on the grounds that the Visa officer doesn't understand the adoption

I think its quite possible once there is verifiable proof that the other means of the family are biologically related.

Am guessing we've spoken about this before. Is it just his visa decision that has been released- the person refused I mean?

A lot of unstable people out there . If you're going to ireland and anyone advertises accommodation please don't pay anyone until you arrive and you're absolutely sure.

This person sent the following messages.

I intentionally left her number uncovered so everyone can be on the look out.

Cheers

akaraelepo:
. Good day to everybody. Please did anybody receive calls from the Embassy of Ireland stating the visa status and medium of pick up.

The embassy may call you if you would want to pick up your passport at the Embassy in Abuja-If such happens, your visa was granted and your school presumably should be resuming soon or already started Induction.

Cheers

donbreeezy:
This is the end of the road.. cos my parcel got to Abuja today.

Stay positive. I put this up just incase someone in a similar situation has not sent the appeal. The first thing will be to request to defer till next intake, April or September depending on the University.

Or ask for refund and processs the UK.

ANEGBE84:
What about those who submitted in December,are dey also affected. I submitted my appeal since 16th of December till now no update is there any way one can track it.

Not entirely sure this will apply to everyone , there is still something called favour.

Howbeit, appeal decisions within the last few days are for those who submitted in October.

So we can only stay positive

Quick update !!! Based on an email received from the Visa office in Abuja, if you are refused for January, I won't advise you appeal unless your school can attest to following up on the appeal in time for your resumption in January. The visa office issued update that appeal will now take 3-4 months.

Am shocked and this is totally ridiculous- Unfortunately the Universities have little or no influence on this. Its quite sad and SILLY.

sayitall:
