Don't mind those people, you'll have to go to Abuja physically or you send someone

We have long way to go in 9ja.
After creating application of MOE, you can't edit to increase the pages of file you wanted. You have to forefiet unused ones.

Still you have to to waka go their office in Abj before documents get authenticated.
UK applicant need to some say they're not passing all this stress of what people are passing through to legalised or Authentication

RedSamaritan:
Please can anyone explain the document expected of us to submit in place of "proof of residence in the consular district" and are we also going to legalise and translate?

Proof of residence literally means bank statement, electricity bills etc.
I believe if you submit yur 9ja bank statement and Spanish admission letter, yo6 shd be alright.

You can't have Spanish proof of residence if you never enter the country.

Have you authenticated your documents at Ministry of Education and Foreign Affairs?

BabaIbo:
I heard NUC verified a fake certificate and that caused issue wey make them cancel that, since then na lawyer dem come dey use.

O gara ooo.
Where person go see lawyer bayi.
Se ESS abi ministry of Education no get number that's active for people to contact them.

To just apply for University now, person got to spend lyk #1m for Authentication & translation alone

Olammi:
I’ve seen many questions about studying in Spain lately, so I decided to put together a simple guide based on current information.

This is not promotion, just to help anyone considering the route.

General Overview

Spain is gradually becoming an option for people looking at Europe because:

Tuition is relatively moderate compared to some EU countries
Some programs are taught in English
It’s part of the Schengen zone
There are pathways after study

Admission Basics

Before anything, you must secure admission.

Typical requirements:
WAEC/NECO (for undergraduate)
HND/BSc (for postgraduate)
International passport
Statement of purpose
CV (for master’s)
Some schools may request:
English proficiency OR
Spanish language (depending on program)

Student Visa (Long Stay)
Common documents include:
Admission letter
Proof of funds (monthly living coverage)
Medical insurance
Police clearance
Accommodation details
Document legalization is often required.

Processing Time
Around 3–6 weeks in many cases
Can extend to a few months depending on application volume
Early application is always safer.

Approval Chances
Approval depends heavily on documentation.

Generally:
Strong applications tend to get approvals
Weak financial proof or incomplete documents often lead to refusal
So it’s less about country and more about how clean your file is.

Family Option
Students can apply with family members, but:
Financial requirement increases
Accommodation must be suitable
Not everyone goes this route initially.

Work While Studying
Students are allowed to work part-time:
Up to limited hours weekly
Must not interfere with studies
Jobs are not guaranteed, so plan finances properly.

After Study
Possible options after graduation include:
Switching to a work permit
Staying back legally if conditions are met
This depends on individual situation and job availability.

Important Points
Avoid shortcuts or false documents
Make sure financial proof is verifiable
Choose your school carefully
Don’t rely on “guaranteed visa” claims

Final Thought
Spain can work, but it is not a “shortcut route.”

Like every country:
Proper planning
Correct documents
Realistic expectations
…will determine the outcome

Thanks for the information.
Regarding Authentication of documents at Ministry of Education, is there anyway to contact MOE by email or call as they're not responding.

*Is translation of documents from English to Spanish compulsory?
* What's is the required POF for 1yr course?
What are mandatory documents when submitting the visa application.

Tnx

actually i don’t want to reply to any text coming from this my comment but I think I will have to reply this, I guess you misunderstood me, I meant because a student was refused for not being a genuine student doesn’t mean they should be treated like a bad student, I did my pre cas interview and unfortunately when I was about finishing the interview the network messed up, making me to retake the pre CAs interview, my school had to commend me for being a vibrant student and pleaded with me to retake the interview which I did and I passed, if you know my college, you will know attending there interview is like attending a mini ukvi interview, and unfortunately I was called for the ukvi interview which I went further to make my research and make sure my answer wasn’t generic and the caseworker ignored few of my evidence, my point is it’s not everyone that is label not being a genuine student is actually not genuine and not everyone that got there visa is actually a genuine student, some people don’t even know there course modules but that’s not why we are here....my second point is they should be given a second chance and not be treated as if when a school gives them offer, the school license is about to be revoked, if I am not genuine about my intentions I won’t be willing to spend so much money to gain more knowledge for the growth of my business
Thank you….

This na true fact.
Coming now or getting things approved is by grace of God. Most people that were denied, some of them gave their best during their interview and the outcome they got or reason for refusal can make people speechless.

So sad to see other schools rejecting applicants admission because of their last outcome

If people can look into other countries and jejely go as things aren't smiling again even when people intention are +ve.
Most people know the outcome of their last election and impact it will bring.

BabaIbo:
Bro, abeg no vex o.

I am just confused like this...

I be wanting study for Portugal but the recent issue with NUC that made them to now use lawyer don make the matter increase.

The easiest and less stressful country na UK.
The stress of translating and legalisation of documents for all this countries no be sere sere. Someone will first spend like #1m to start application, getting appointment to legalised documents for embassy sef cari muscle.

What is the issue NUC and why getting lawyers involved?

highcalling:
At the Spanish embassy, I have a legalisation appointment date in September. Does anyone know how to get a faster date or has anyone been able to get a faster date?

This Spanish route cari muscle. Waiting 6months to get appointment for legalisation.
Even translating documents per page price no be beans.

Good evening.
For those who applied to any Spanish University for study or applying to study, what are the mandatory documents that need to be translated, legalised etc.
