Sir, may I appeal that you not make your stand look as confusing to the public.
Your organization must have participated in the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development Economic Sustainability Plan, as this is a major requirement to be enlisted as a firm to be serviced by beneficiaries for a period of three(3) months.

The ministry’s director of enterprise development and promotion department must have been in touch with your director/owner.
Do well to accommodate and help lend necessary assistance to youths sent to your organization.
Thanking you for your unwavering and patriotic support.

Yours faithfully,
For; Federal Ministry of Youth and Sport Development.

Bros , I am the owner and I never applied for any participation whatsoever nor did I get any notification.
And what do you mean by For: Federal Ministry .........
If you a legitimate rep, kindly provide your office address, phone number and email

Please those who have gotten their visa, how do you plan on getting Forex from the banks. One of the requirements is that you need a return ticket to access forex. Anyway around this?

Banks require a return ticket before they can sell FX and I think max amount is 4000 USD so weigh out cost implications of a return ticket well. Futhermore, if you don't intend using the return ticket make sure the ticket is refundable.

Hello everyone,
Pls I need help with my cousin's application to Ireland. His visa application was refused and he was asked to provide more documents for his appeal.
His mum in the Uk paid his school fees from her bank account and they requested for her ID and receipts from the bank,. But the concern we have is that his mum is not his sponsor, his uncle is the sponsor (as he has a more funded account than his mum). Would it be an issue that his mum paid his fees but cannot sponsors him?

thank you for your suggestions

Both people involved are sponsors - all docs required of sponsors must be presented by both parties

Pelumos:
How does one get the reference number that starts with IELG/xxxx, the one the person has is the one that starts with IRLxxxxxxxx

Printed on the slip you get from the VFS

ProJectAnatot:
I followed this your link and I discovered one could apply for *internship employment permit*. Do you have any info on this kind of employment permit? How much could it cost one from applying to getting there?.
Any info at all will be useful.
Thank you

Please read the conditions and if this applies to Nigerians applying from abroad?

Beloved3:

NEROSKY:

We actually offer free visa guidance for most schools to prevent such errors

Doctorfitz:
Good day all , I don't know if this is the right place to put this...

My question is, would it be fine to go ahead
to apply for a short stay visa for an exam that's geared towards professional accreditation?

I'm asking this because of the pandemic/update on visas.

Its still suspended - check weekly here : https://www.dfa.ie/irish-embassy/nigeria/our-services/visas/weeklydecisionreports/

Mayor21:
Hahaha
So you didn't accept them?

The letterhead has no contact details, this is Lagos - wasn't sure of what scam they have going on ; So no I already have more than enough staff at the moment.

I actually thought it was some sort of scam until I just read it here.

CoolAlice:
I checked out the DBS site and Master's in Marketing or digital marketing and their next intake is September. September is kinda far ooo, lol. Can you give me a list of other schools, like affordable ones. What do you think of Belgium?

It should be available for January or April 2022

Talk2david1:
Got the mail, went to the location and everyone there told me they've not herd of such company before but there was construction going on there. Called the wep officer, he said I should come back to that same location on Monday. Will go back on Monday make ei no be like say I b lazy Nigerian youth

2 people actually came to my office that they have been placed in my Organisation as Interns. 5 people were sent to my office without any Ministry notifying me. I told those who came that this is another scheme by the govt to steal money or divert funds, if they are paying you for the 3 months then its fine.

Only in Nigeria will you get interns from FG without a notice.

Iamdoyin:
Hello would like to know how long it takes for the embassy to work on an appeal?

We got good news on one in less than 2 weeks.

Sarto:
Urgent suggestions needed @icasNg a decision is about to be made. Any idea?

In what context?

Kunfu:
Cybersecurity is my intended course

NCI - January 2022
Griffith college - Information and Network security - Feb 2022
DBS -

For September 2022 there will definitely be more options including UCD; Trinity, ULimerick, CIT etc.

Average tuition is 13,000 euros ; maybe lesser depending on discounts available or offered by the schools.

Kunfu:
Good day everyone,
This is my 1st time on this thread please I need one on one guide on how to start my Irish study journey. I'm a graduate of Computer science, I'm married and I'm a Fiber optics engineer

State your intended course and university so that anyone with useful information can advise.

Or check our bio

@ICaSNg Please, feel free to chime in if you've got something to add.

Hi,

Keralis:
@ICaSNg and others,
Please what is the process for Irish citizen children who want to undergo their undergraduate programs in Ireland? Is NECO result okay or WAEC must be provided? Do they need to write an English test too? We are working towards January 2022 since the join family visa was refused.
Kindly assist

Hi,

Either NECO, WAEC or GCSE is acceptable as Irish citizens do not need to apply for visas from Nigeria. You should however try applying for September 2021 as undergraduate programs are mostly available in September.

For January/ feb 2022 , to the best of my knowledge only Griffith will be available for undergraduate entry programs.

Ladycecee:
Hello house, weldone for all the information shared on this platform.
Please I want to know if it is mandatory to make full payment of tuition fees for schools in Ireland (particularly Griffith college) before commencement of the program. Thank you

Full fee is required for Griffith College.

Thank you @ ICaSNg. I emailed the embassy on the 21st of June, 2021 and I got a response from them saying that my appeal is still pending at the moment and that they are working on appeals received in March 2019 and there are approximately 50 appeals ahead in the queue. I became more confused seeing that they are still working on March 2019 appeal and I thought it might be an error from them.

I made my appeal in the last week of February, 2021 as against September intake 2021 because I was refused visa for February intake 2021. New offer letter, invitation to register and other necessary documents meant for the appeal was attached and sent to the embassy.

Am confused right now.
Appeal taking this long time shows cause for concern.

Am sorry you have to go through this. It would be better to send a message to your International office with details of your visa application : i.e transaction number and all and explain your challenges. If it is a school like Griffith, NCI etc they would inturn reach out to the embassy on your behalf. I am not sure why they would respond that they are still treating appeals from 2019 unless something went wrong somewhere but just keep praying.

meks007:
Please, am still looking forward to a response based on the question I asked last time.
I made an appeal in March, 2021 and am yet to get a response from the embassy.

@ICaSNG, please do you have any idea on what might be the problem.?

Please send them an email. Which intake was this for anyways? cos March seems early for sept.

Cheers

nalizzzy:
Good day please. How do I change my medicine insurance cover start date because the cover start September but I defer to January

Yes, just send them an email with the new offer letter

Hello everyone.

I applied for ireland study visa on June 9th, and I just received a call from a UPS delivery guy saying he will bring me my documents tomorrow. But I am yet to receive any email from Vfs or the embassy with regards to the decision that's been taken on my visa application.

I have also checked the website where the weekly decision reports are normally published and mine hasn't been published yet, it will most likely be uploaded on Monday.

I'd like to know if me not getting an email from vfs / the embassy is a normal occurrence.

Thanks.

Not everyone is listed on the visa decisions page. God willing it would be good news.

Philadelphia:
Your response to the question was a hollow one as well.
Whatever you choose to make of the appreciation is entirely your business.

Asking the specific question on what it was like to own a car as a student did not call for you to counsel on studies. It’s like asking how it was to own a car on a student visa. If it was asking about working multiple jobs as a student, then your opinion on facing studies may have held water.

You’re not paying the fees nor sponsoring the studies. Focus on the question and don’t beat around the bush.

By the way, IITWII.

Please calm down. Either you're in your 20's or 60's - him stating that you should focus on studies rather than the unnecessary stress of owning a car in Ireland especially as a student just reinforces that some things are just to stressful to get through on a STUDY PERMIT.

In actual sense, unless you are studying in the US or Canada, owning a car exceptions to you being a family man / working far from home in the UK or Ireland is totally not necessary as they have a very well structured Bus, train / tram mobility.

In all let peace and love reign.

Sarto:
Hi IcasNg please how lucrative is MSc in Immunology and Global Health in Ireland? Any idea?

I had my interview on the 30th of June when is it likely for me to get a decision?

Hi, I don't have full details of your previous academic background so my response based on my opinion would be brief. I think if you are tending towards a career in research as related to Human immune system and health especially during this pandemic era it won't be a bad choice . It may also be useful to the already big Pharma industry in Ireland. Its all about how your strategically position yourself in terms of Employment or better yet if you pass excellently well, you may be heading for a fully funded PhD program in e.g Effects of Covid Vaccine on Pregnant women (lol) on a lighter mood though.

But I won't say its not a good course especially as the world is figuring out this covid , vaccines and possible future pandemic or epidemic

Mmaobey:
Please my visa says valid from 14th August 2021- 13th August 2022, doe it mean I can only enter Ireland on 14th August? Its a bit confusing. I have emailed the embassy but still awaiting a response.

It means you can enter Ireland from 14th August onwards.

michealekene:
Thanks for the clarity. So, we don't need legalization or notorization of documents in Dublin??

Also... where can one get apartments for €300 per month or less closest to Dublin BS pls. Campus accommodation is so expensive.

No need for document notarization. Check Dundalk if you don't mind the distance though .

michealekene:
Hello

Please you talked about Verified O-level results / certificates. How does one verify certificate and results in Lagos here??

2. Dublin business school and Maynooth have courses I'm interested in. In your professional opinion, which is best interms of cost of living, rent, proof of funds showcase. Dublin business school fee is slightly cheaper €13500 while the same course is 15000 in Maynooth.
3. Any application fee for both?? ... tried getting this info, but yet to mail school.

Thanks in advance. And I have gone through 30 pages of this thread.

I stated verified or verifiable as some people may not have their O-Level certificates; those will be required to present an online print out when applying for visa and also attach a scratch card.

For the schools mentioned, I only recruit for DBS and no they do not accept app fees

Mmaobey:
Please which airline can someone book to travel to Ireland without undergoing the mandatoryhotel quarantine, many countries are on the designated list of mandatory quarantine which means if we transit from that country you must quarantine ( correct me if am wrong).

2) I'm still looking for off campus accomodation in limerick.

Get Vaccinated - complete both shots and keep the cert/card

Mztonya:
Does the embassy require a form to clarify where you will be for quarantine when you arrive Dublin? If yes what options are available please

They require a temporary 14 days hotel booking - book a free cancellation one on booking.com

Jewe:
Good News: My visa got approved on Thursday 24th of this Month

Congrats

Hello, i stumbled on a news that states that healthcare assistant and other care jobs has been added to occupation shortage list. Can you throw insights as to how to apply for jobs from Nigeria?
.

Yes ; still reading up on it . I must confess though, to qualify for that outside Ireland you will need to be exceptional than people currently within the system or in the country. This new addition will be of more advantage to residents in Ireland or the UK rather than from overseas (However, it may be difficult but definitely not impossible)

Will post an update if I find anything useful or beneficial to oversea potentials
