Depends on individual travel plans - if they intend travelling in and out of Dublin within the first 3 months they need multiple .

God bless you

Amen! Don't forget to explain all lump in both your account and sponsors account preferably based on income amounts above #100,000 .

e.g if your monthly salary is approximately #100,000 and funds above this should be explained.

Cheers

Hmm, pay all the fees at once

ICASNG abeg try let Griffith no say it can be tough for some International students.

Is there a way to suggest to them Two times instalment payment plan with due date for the 2nd instalment 3 - 4 months after school start date? That will make it more flexible for prospective students and it can be an advantage to them as well (just me thinking sha)

Lol... Naa School policy o.

There are other schools with flexible payment .
Most of these policies came up when other people (foreign students) defaulted on payments. I still have couple of September 2018 students who are still owing Tuition after 1 year.

vkyburnz:
student na wooo...bet you find this out yourself. study sections on your school site on how to pay your fees

Funny, the schools bank details is also stated on his offer / invoice.

Some questions though ...

Louiscares:
Hello Breezy147,

Yes, I have all my tuition receipts, I paid 100% tuition and other documents. I really hope the officer doesn't notice it too .

I actually received my passport with documents today and I have my visa approved (single entry, with 90days validity). I intend to travel to the school in person and look at the options available and possibly try to get into another school that has January 2020 intake, like I mentioned previously.

Regards.

Louis

Sorry to jinx your hopes. Once a visa is granted there is no refund policy. You can't use a visa awarded to a particular school to apply for a course in another school until you complete the initial program. You may however be able to change course within the same school but unfortunately you can't use a visa approved for A to school in B.

Congrats and wishing you success.
Cheers

Zenithheights:

vkyburnz:
Hmm....Question? How does UK handle over 100,000+ study visa applications from Nigeria alone during peak periods and still maintain Three Weeks Turnaround period?

It's not funny. Some here have received deferral notice from school programme coordinators to forego starting programme this September as lectures have already begun.

Possible Implications?
• another €500 deferral charge
• €180 insurance wasted (will have to be purchased again)
• €400 booking charges for residence possibly gone (admin charges will come in where refund is possible)
• possible 10% admin charges for fees paid during refund
• possible N46, 950 visa fees wasted
• wasted One Year (huge and impacts ones goals/progress)
• emotional trauma & pains
• etc..etc..etc...etc

Either this is deliberate or a case of gross incompetence. Either way, we bear the brunt and the losses/pains that comes with these frustrating delays and screwed up visa process!!!

Saying as it is...

In short the UK makes 165k to 500k on each visa application. They've earn alot over the years and also learnt alot. Ireland went from 800 apps in 2018 to over 3000 apps in 2019 with the same number of staff in Abuja.

Its very frustrating but the UK 2 years psw came at the right time. They have no choice than to sit up and step up their game.

Am however interested in your 180 euros for medicover. How come ? Standard is 150 euros

CAN SOMEBODY HALLELUJAH !!!!!!!

UK just announced their own 2 years work permit- PSW.

So if you are struggling with getting the required funds for Ireland, UK will be an excellent alternative.

There are some 2 years MBA & MSc programs - where 1st year is for academics, 2nd year for paid internship + dissertation then the 2 years graduate permit and you only need 30 days bank statement for the UK, they don't care where the money came from or who paid into your account.

So US, Canada and even my favorite baby - Ireland can calm down now.

Oya over to you guys!!!

Chibabe4Christ:
PLEASE ANYONE WITH JANUARY INTAKE INFO FROM THE EMBASSY SHOULD SHARE ABEG.......
SECONDLY CAN SOMEONE START APPLICATION PROCESS TO THE EMBASSY FOR JANUARY INTAKE? WHO HAS APPLIED PLEASE??

THANKS

New visa rules may be out in October. Apply by end of September but preferably 1st week of October

Chibabe4Christ:
Its just an introduction letter from your company but my concerns is must you state in the letter that you are going for a study? If your HR just introduce as a staff without mentioning to the embassy that you are going for a study.. will the embassy frown at it?

I think you've called before about this. Yes, your org can introduce you with information on when you joined the org and if you are still in such employment. However,it goes a long way if they state its a study leave and they will be happy to have you back after completion of your studies.

Cheers

Right.. And I think they are putting him in our face to test his popularity...

kelss5020:
PLEASE NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD READ AND DIGEST THE INFORMATION YOU READ HERE BEFORE MAKING UNNECESSARY ASSUMPTIONS JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK I'M AN AGENT . NOW MY REPLY TO QUESTION 3) CLEARLY SHOWS THAT I SAID HE/SHE NEEDS EVIDENCE OF RELATIONSHIP(AND THIS IS DEFINITELY FOR THE VISA APPLICATION) AND I DON'T GET WHAT YOU MEAN BY SHOWING EVIDENCE OF WHO PAYS YOUR TUITION FEE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE PAY THROUGH A THIRD PARTY... THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS STATING YOUR STUDENT NUMBER, NAME AND PROBABLY REFERENCE NO IF APPLICABLE...

AND YOUR ANSWER TO THE EMBASSY NEEDS MORE....... [s]I HAVE ENOUGH PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND I CLEARLY KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING[/s].
DEFINITELY IT WONT BE JUST THE CAC CERTIFICATE, THERE ARE OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT COMES WITH A CAC BUT YOU DON'T EXPECT ME TO START LISTING ALL, I ONLY ANSWER HIS/HER QUESTION IN THE SIMPLEST WAY I CAN

NOBODY KNOWS IT ALL...THIS IS A FORUM FOR LEARNING & GETTING INFORMATION YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTION OR CORRECTION WITHOUT SOUNDING RUDE OR SHOULD I SAY ITK
PEACE

Thank God people here are more knowledgeable than you . Cos I just highlighted your ignorance above.

Good luck with your marketing and recruitment

I am aware of fraudulent agents and agencies.

But my candid advise is that If you intend using this forum for your Irish visa application , you may need to follow the inis visa documents requirement list extensively.

Be warned!!! Thats how someone came with Zenith fx rate for euro at #300 the other day. Some sha learnt the hard way.

Lots of ignorant agents are here. Please be guided !!!

All the best

kelss5020:
HELLO
1) THE SCHOOLS FEES DOESNT HAVE TO BE PAID FROM HIS ACCOUNT, ITS NOT THE EMBASSY'S CONCERN, YOU CAN PAY FROM ANY ACCOUNT AS LONG AS YOU GET THE RECEIPT OF PAYMENT
2)IT'S NOT NECESSARY EXCEPT YOU HAVE A A GOOD FUNDS THERE, IF YOUR SPONSORS HAS ENOUGH FUNDS TO COVER YOUR LIVING EXPENSES, THEN ITS NOT NECESSARY
3) YES HE CAN, YOU WILL HAVE TO SHOW EVIDENCE OF RELATIONSHIP
4)YES, JUST HIS CAC CERTIFICATE IS SUFFICIENT, TO SHOW HOWS HES A BUSINESSMAN AND HOW HE GETS THE FUNDS IN HIS ACCOUNT
5) YES OF COURSE, AS LONG AS HE GETS A LETTER FROM HIS BANK INDICATING HE'S THE SOLE SIGNATORY TO THAT ACCOUNT
DID I ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS?YOU CAN SEND A MAIL FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION SHA

Most of your answers are wrong . The embassy requires definitely more than just CAC certificate , and you need proof of relationship to whoever will be paying your tuition fees.

Please don't come here and share half-baked information pleaseeeeeee

Blessedolamide:
Hi boss IcaSNG, I'm aware of the condition you stated. But are you aware that that the condition applies to only Nigerians and probably other African countries? The Indians are only required to pay a 1000 euros before they can be issued the invitation to apply(IVT) letter used for the visa processing. I strongly feel since he has paid 90% of his tuition, he might have gotten a sort of exemption from the college because if the college isn't satisfied, I don't think they will issue the IVT letter. Like I mentioned earlier, the only thing he can do at this point is to remain hopeful and positive.

Regards

Boss, Either Nigerians- African or Asian- I believe we taught them how we should be treated.

If you're not aware , Indians / Asians have access to Foreign Education student loan - once this loan is approved and the school is notified , restrictions or certain requirements won't apply to them.

In the late 90s and early 2000, a lot of Nigerians got asylum in Ireland and then moved on to bring a lot of related and unrelated family members (Chain migration), so my point is they've been lenient in the past and if anyone is looking to move out of Nigeria just follow all legit rules and guidelines , either for Ireland or any other country- simple.

I hope Ireland is treating you fairly? wishing you success

Blessedolamide:
Hi, So long you included the necessary documents, my only advise for you is to be hopeful. it will end in praise. When I submitted mine, I had less than 100k, and it went well. in between, did Griffith send you the invitation to apply document?
Cheers!!!

His visa application will most likely be refused. He's attending Griffith college - that school requires full tuition payment before visa application ; his account has little or no relevance once there is no unverifiable lump sum paid into the account.

But then there's a;sways the God factor

Please can you explain this a bit more? If one applies after mid July what would be a consequence and how does a new visa officer affect the application?
I saw on the Irish immigration site that they would not attend to applications submitted less then 3 weeks before the course start date.

This depends on when your program start date is. if from 18th September, 2019 you are good to submit. If end of August or 2nd of September, I personally won't advise a visa application - just request to defer till January and apply for your visa by october.

Cheers

Hello Guys,

This trend has really been helpful.

Just got one issue on ground.

Got admission into UCD.
Got a 4k scholarship and made full balance payment to the school. My telex copy is ready, but the school has not given me a receipt yet. Mailed them and they said they have not seen it.

My question is this.

Can I go ahead and apply for my visa with my telex copy as prove of payment without the receipt or the schools receipt is a must. Apparently the school will receive the money later.

The reason is that I am currently on leave from work and I have limited time in preparing all my documents so I can apply next week.

So your advice.

Thanks

Kindly wait for your confirmation/ receipt of payment from the school.
Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well.

Cheers

Oseunseun:
Hello!
Do you have updates and tips for September yet?
Thanks for the good work you do here...

Read from the last 2 weeks ; I've dropped updates from the visa office.

New information as of today however is that , all visa applications should be in latest mid -July, the Irish embassy will be getting a new visa officer from mid August , thus new regulations will apply from September.

Cheers

Akmarley:
And ukeas guys told me 2 weeks �� .. I could’ve done it myself if I came across this page earlier

Basically large organisations have a lot of enquires plus, its better to give a longer date but oftentimes you get a feedback within 5 days.

Cheers

directors page is missing. I was fortunate
To have only the photocopy of the front page.what can I do, also can a sworn affidavit complement with that ? As
