agabusta:
I'm a passive reader on this thread and thought to just put this out there.
Please, just look for 'sure agent' to secure appointment. Agents are able to get dates for people within the twinkling of an eye, yet people will be stressing for weeks for appointment date. I just tire for this our country and the way no process goes straightforward and fair to all. When I needed to travel to Italy sometimes back, after failing to secure appointment by myself, I reached out to one agent and appointment was gotten for next day. Despite being a frequent traveler, I was still shocked.

Kindly note that I will not respond to any request for referral as that is not the purpose of this post. I will also not privately reach out to anybody. Anyone trying to use my identity to contact you is a fraud. I'm a supporter of DIY, but on this appointment thing, I gave up back then. You can still do everything by yourself and use an agent 'just to secure appointment'. Ciao
I think they are able to do that because they already know around what time they put the dates, so it is easy for them to track, or maybe they have an insider who alerts them. But what I noticed from the last time is that they put dates just a day before or two days before. I saw it with the standard appointment not priority.

Has anyone been able to get an appointment this year at all? I've been trying everyday and nothing so far 🥲
So what I noticed is that, there is appointment but very limited. Like this evening around 5:00 pm, they released appointment dates (first time travellers) for Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd. All appointments finished within 10 minutes.

So I now understand it is a game of tracking when they will release date.

HealthRe: My Wife's Serious Fertility Issue Is Affecting My Mental Health by ify1234: 7:16pm On Aug 13, 2025
KobeMan:
We married A Year ago. We decided to wait for a year before having kids. We started trying 3 few months but no success. I told both of us needs to get tested. I did Sperm Analysis & the result is good, I'm very fertile.

She did pelvic scan, and in the scan, She has fibroid (Submocousal fibroid 5.5cm). The news broke me and I was very sad, I never imagined I'll be in this kind of situation. We went to the gynecologist and He told us to go for HSG to check her fallopian tube, The result showed that Both Tubes are blocked.

I've not been myself for the last couple of days. I had to pretend to be strong because She was down & has been crying as well. This are two serious fertility issues and Her chances of conception is very low. Even if The gynecologist tells us to do the IVF(Which I don't even have money for it cause it's vey expensive) They'll still have to remove the fibroid.

This are very expensive procedures that are not even guaranteed that it will work and She will conceive. I'm the only male child in my family, in my early 30's. Pressure will start coming from all directions and also considering my my age, I don't pray to experience delay with child birth. I just decided to pour own my mind here. I'm really down, I don't know what to do.
Baba, I understand how heavy this news is, I was in similar experience but God just made name for Himself.

First thing first, you need to mentally manage the pressure of only male child, cancel this pressure first as you and your wife need all the psychological support to go through this journey which will mostly come from how you are able to manage this issue.

Secondly, be proactive and start on time, she needs surgery asap to take out the fibroid, good doctors might also manage to flee the fallopian tube with the fibroid removal, from our experience. Also, while you need this fibroid surgery done asap is because, after the surgery your wife will need from 6 months to 1 year of full recovery (doctors advise this) before attempting pregnancy to ensure a smooth journey.

Thirdly, start asap perhaps with even as u plan for the surgery to also plan for IVF. Not sure where you reside but look out for clinics in the North, say Jos, Kano, Markudi or even Abuja, you can get affordable rate say 1. something million naira or so for a single cycle and might even be lower for some clinics that offer promo or subsidize the fee from the funding they get from NGOS.

See all these situations that God and life have their plans, as you can see it is not your wife's fault or something that has to do with her past, rather it is health challenges.

Get yourself together and plan. Good luck!! It always ends well.

Good morning my good people. I just paid my application fee and expecting admission to study Global Politics and Society (Masters) at the University of Milan. Right now, I want to prepare documents for translation before I start authentication or Legalization at the Ministry of Education and Ministry of foreign affairs.

[/b]Ministry of Education[b]

1. Masters Cert
2. First Degree Cert
3. WAEC and Neco
4. Birth Cert /Declaration of age
5. Transcripts of B.A Degree and Masters


Docs For Legalisation to be used for the Regional Scholarship

1. Court avidafit stating income
2. 2 years Bank Statement confirming the court avidafit in no 1.
3. Family composition certificate ( don't know how to get this)
4. Declaration of asset. (I don't know how to get this)

Experts in the house, what did I miss? What should I add before I start my translation. Thanks
The Italian embassy still agree to legalize court affidavit of family income?

I have a rebuttal:
Codice fiscale which is equivalent to Social Security Number can be generated prior to coming to Italy.
Also, ISEE can be obtained at Nigerian Embassy, Rome.
Can I ask someone to do this for me in Rome?

It depends on your school. Would be better to ask students already in your school in italy.
To further explain.
You can obtain the document about family as a form of high court affidavit
for proof of residence, you can get that from the local government of your residence.
Please act fast (in your best interest). Get them translated, also get them authenticated at MFA Abuja.
Then, if the Italian consulates accept to legalize, which I am sure they no longer do. Then do so if not after you get your visa you would legalize them yourself in the Nigerian consulate in Rome.
Good luck
thank you, I think they no longer legalize it at the emabassy form what others have said. I don't know if someone has experience of asking a friend already in Italy to help and go to Nigerian Embassy in Rome. This is because I am sure the scholarship deadline would have expired before I arrive in Italy.

Lets start from here. ISEE is kind of document issued by INPS ( National Institute for Social Security) in Italy , And a key requirement to do anything with INPS in Italy is to have what we call Codice fiscale ( Fiscal code) it is the Italian version of Social security number. For you to have this number you must be living in Italy. ISEE is a document that shows the economic situation of a person or a nuclear family in Italy . People request for ISEE in Italy when they have some form of economic hardship and need some help from the government to help in offsetting some of their Bill's .
So in Nigeria there might be another name for that but certainly not ISEE and even the page that you attached spoke on that.
below is a link from Polytechnic of Milan that also talks about ISEE for incoming students.
https://www.polimi.it/en/current-students/tuition-fees-scholarships-and-financial-aid/student-contribution/isee-equivalent-economic-situation-indicator/#:~:text=Academic%20Year%202021%2F2022,income%20and%20assets%20in%20Italy.

Your attachment seems to come from the website of University of Bologna. And in that page it says foreign student not living in Italy can seek help in submitting the documents required using the services of ER-GO.
Below is the link to their website.

Yes I understand this, but I am asking how to go about the equivalent for non-EU students, as they said we can apply for the scholarship but we have to provide a document stating family income.
TravelRe: Italian Student Visa-help! by ify1234: 6:17am On May 07, 2022

ISEE can only be done by residents of Italy. It was put in place to help Italian residents both citizens and foreigners who due to their economic or family situation needs one form of help from the Italian government. Such help can come in various form e.g reduction of utility Bills or even reduction of university tuition etc. So if you are in Nigeria and hoping to apply for ISEE , just know that you do not qualify.

Documents for the Regional Scholarship only needs MFA legalization.

If applying for regional Scholarship. The process can't be completed here in Nigeria. After the MFA legalization you would need it to be legalized as well at the Nigeria embassy in Rome when you arrive Italy.

So, it does not interfere with the visa process and it can not use it as a proof of funding.


Regional Scholarship can only be used on getting to Italy.
Also which documents do I need, just the court affidavit?

Yes I understand it can only be used in Italy, but the online application deadline for the regional scholarship is mostly in August but I am not sure to be in Italy before August. And I wouldn't want to miss the deadline.

Hi all, plz I need help concerning my sister, she has been denied visa at the embassy while applying for visiting visa.,
The husband is based in Italy, she just received a document called the "nulla Oster", written in Italian language, please what is her chances of getting Visa this time, she's has been denied visa several times, a lot of money wasted, according to the husband he just got his own resident in Italy, maybe that's what the nulla Oster is all about.

Please guys help with advice, cause she is reading this, is their anything like visa interview,what kind of questions do they ask? what other things is needed for the visa process, a lot of money have been spent to get this document. Thank you
I guess she is already in italy. The nulla osta is like a sure route for visa if they certify the marriage certificate.

Hi, from experience I think it's better to get the document here in Nigerian embassy in Rome, Italy; because often times what we declare as family income is usually the opposite of your bank statement.
1. You need an affidavit from an High court stating your family composition and the total amount you make in a year, afterwards you should take that affidavit to the Nigerian embassy in Rome which would be translated to your consular document (a letter headed paper with the Nigeria coat of arms)
What of someone not yet in Italy and the visa might come later after the deadline of the scholarship, can I ask someone to help me and o it there in Italy?

Based on last year visa application experience
If you have a Scholarship, stipend or funding you have a 100% chance of getting the study visa
If you only tuition waivers or regional scholarship it is 50% chance
If you don't have funding or you're self sponsored.
The chances are 20%
Provided you can prove that you or your parents have regular streams of income to support your financial needs, you will be granted visa.
If you're not able to prove it or your statement of account has comma. You will not get the visa o.


the hard truth is that a lot of self sponsored applicants were denied last year. For various reasons. Majorly as a result of finance. And maybe the consulate somehow knew that majority of them were relying on the Regional scholarship.
Secondly maybe they were not satisfied with the documents presented.
Either way, after receiving admission whatever procedures you take going forward please back it up with prayers even a slight mistake in translation can deny you from getting your legalization completed
For the regional scholarship, do you know how to obtain the documentation of family income they ask of before one obtains visa.

No, the Italian Consulate in Nigeria no longer legalize any of those documents that you mentioned.

The family income document can however be legalized in Rome. And this is only possible for those who have received a visa and can travel to Italy to get it done, because it cannot be done by proxy.
Can I delegate a family member already in Italy to do this for me before I get my visa, as the deadline is always earlier before september that school will start.

To futher clear my doubts can you help me answer these questions..

1. Is there no need to authenticate any of the scholarship document with MFA or MOE?

2. Currently, the application for some regional scholarship is ongoing. If visa approval do not meet up with the deadline of those scholarship. How will one go about it? Since, those documents are required to be uploaded on the portal during application.

The 200k is the one I spent at the consulate. Every doc for legalization has a price including the DOV.
I think aside transport and accommodation to Abuja, you should be able to authenticate your documents at the ministry of education and foreign affairs with less than 10k.

Translation depending on how much they charge a page and how many pages you have, maybe less than 3k per page. Not sure what is the cost of legalization at the consulate, but if your read earlier threads, you will notice some have said it's free for education documents and 21k per each document that is not educational.

A bit of correction, ur description of quantum teleportation as PHYSICAL disappearance/appearance of perhaps humans from one distant location to another on earth is a bit misleading. This description actually counter-represnets many quantum theories+ general relativity laws.

The only way to discuss teleportation is in terms of quantum states or qubits.

1) Toyota avalaon: 2001 to 2004
2) Lexus es 300 : 2002-2004

If you don't have a lot of money, still want to look a bit classy and reseeved, go for them. The second one is a bit above ur budget anyways, think about it.
