@jorgan try access bank cos am just coming out from the bank and the lady in western union said she will do it for me.she ask me to open account with them,in a week time she can transfer the cash for me to the school account.

I pray this goes through because CBN has stopped selling dollars to banks so i wonder where access plans to get dollars from. My form A application form and money is still in First bank with my pops account officer handling the transaction since 2 weeks now, still no joy. When is ur resumption date?

I tried using my naira card, no show, but if u hv someone abroad dat has money to cover your deposit then the fellow can help u use card to pay thru the western union platform from the schools website.

Otunba4eva:
Take your Naira and buy dollar from forex, then put it in your domicilliary account. Then transfer to wherever abroad. Simple

That means u hv to buy dollar from black market and dats murder. The rate is too high,will end up losing more dan 300k in d transaction.

same here pls very interested contact curtismarcus1991@yahoo.com

Otunba4eva:
Gtbank just send me a post now that u can transfer deposit in your account now through Internet banking or at any of their branch in excess $10,000 per day, I believe u can use this medium to pay your fees.

Thanks heaps for this valuable information, rushing to GTB 2moro to findout more

adim02:
my E family member please i just receive offer from university of newcastle graduate program.please is newcastle an SVP program.course HRM .Secondly,please those that got offer from the school which of the best means of payment used.thanks as i wait for response.

First of all, congrats. secondly before i give you the bad news... i got an offer to study graduate program as well in university of newcastle and till now as we speak, i am still trying to pay my school fees using the "best" payment option western Union business solution, telegraphic transfer aka FORM A. i have been on this process since the 4th of january. i hv tried everything i can to pay my fees but to no avail. then just today, i saw this http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2016/01/cbn-stops-daily-currency-auction-for-banks/ CBN has stopped selling forex to banks. meaning the hope of paying my school fees using FORM A is dead!!!!!

so here is my advice, you hv to look for another alternative to pay your deposit. if you know any other potentially successful means pls help me out

I m not schooling abroad yet, but I m in d process! You will be charged the official CBN rate provided you are wiring the money via western union business solution.

But at the moment, paying school fees is difficult in Nigeria due to the problem with forex. I hv been trying to pay my fees since 4th of January to no avail.

jayooh:
That being said, u total fees (I.e. Say about 33,000) is it for a year? 18months or 2yrs?
Thanks.
Plus did uni of Newcastle require English test for admission?

It's precisely 29,991 AU$ for 12 months. The program length is 12months. You won't be able to apply on your own, you will be asked to go thru an agent.

Just use PFL. Newcastle didn't require English when I applied. I just wasted my time writing ielts tests. Got an offer letter from the school very quick!

erictack203:
Wow! That's cheap bro.

Boss, dats 1/3 of my fees actually...its the deposit to accept my offer.

castrokins:
We're In A Very Difficult Situation

Am Just Thinking, Can't One Possibly Pay Over In Aussie On Your Behalf Just To Have You Meet Your Timeline, While You Deposit The Equivalent Into Either Their Dorm Or Current Account Here In Nigeria?

Someone Should Have Been In This Exchange Business By Now To Help Applicant In Dire Situations As This.



Just My Thoughts....

You are making absolute sense and I also gave that a tot, I am currently in contact with one of us here in other to get it done, just waiting for the outcome of my application by CBN on Friday before I make this move.

Thank you very much

erictack203:
Which course and which Uni?

Engineering management / university of Newcastle

bellong:

[quote author=Triggeredsam post=41898773][/quote]I can't buy dollar at this time, CBN has stopped BDCs no aboki to buy dollar from

Hello guys, if you got admission and u r yet to pay your fees pls indicate. Forex situation in Nigeria is making things really tight now.

I got admission with UoN and since the beginning of this year, I hv been trying to pay my fees using the Form A. I m due for resumption latest by February 5.

I filled the form with FirstBank on the 4th of January using my personal account and because of SVP 573 rules which required that I pay a deposit of my tuition fees before being issued eCoE to apply for visa, I had to pressurize the bank to hasten the process as I have roughly 5 weeks to get my eCoE, medical tests, then apply for visa (which takes max of 3 weeks to be granted).

Like play, one week had gone and I didn't receive any notification that the payment transaction was made. I became confused then went to the bank to find out wat was going on, the western union guy told me that CBN allows just a day in a week for foreign exchange and between 8am - 11am during this window. I got pissed and felt that the guy wasn't willing to help so I told him to stop.

My dad also uses FirstBank and has a good account officer so I transferred the money for my fees to his account mandating him to sign the Form A on my behalf. His account officer assured me that it will be done and was willing to help.

Then just this morning, I called the man and he informed me on how difficult it will be to process it on time as CBN has everyone knows has limited flow of forex to banks and it's not available at this time.

This is the story of my life right now, I don't know wat else to do, I m running out of time. I do not know when commercial banks will hv enough forex to process payment of school fees.

Does or did anyone encounter this problem? How did u go about it if u did encounter the problem and was able to pay ur fees? Pls house ur response is needed

MASMEK2016:
Happy new year in advance to everyone on this great platform.

I got a conditional offer to study accounting in University of Newcastle.I attempted to make my tuition deposit through GTB on 21st December 2015 but i was told that CBN has closed foreign exchange market transactions for the year and that they will resume on 4th January,2016.I want to know if i can still meet up with February 15th resumption date for my course.

I will appreciate a speedy response from the house.

Same here, university of Newcastle too, Got the same story from First bank! Immediately I informed the school about the development, but I got a response from the school saying they hv closed for the year, till January 10,2016. For your case, u can't submit your visa application on the 10th of January or earlier because u need your eCoE to take to teleperformance! My advice is that you check for the deadline date for resumption on your offer letter! Mine is 5th of February, I think 25th is still okay for you, you won't hv a problem

STAugustineOf13:
Dollar is now #280 in the parallel market,
don't know when it will start affecting the AUD$.
Although fears is still gripping the traders , some saying it might grow up to #400 in a short while.
reasons were because The FED's were once told to drop the amount to #300 some time Last month.
but they didn't.
Assuming they dropped it then and U.S also raised their Interest Rate.
DO THE MATH.

If you're to pay, move in time and 1.6 Mill won't match what you're getting into.

Mine was FORM A,
But was billed at around #149.5
You never calculate Banks 1%

I don't understand wat u r trying to say, when did u pay? How much was the total in naira? N how much was it in Australian dollar?

FutureDon:
jorgan

In addition to what erictack203 has advised, make sure you have MORE THAN ENOUGH in your account. I understand that some banks e.g. Zenith Bank converts from Naira to USD and then to AUD before onward transfer to their intermediary bank (usually an Australian bank), who subsequently credits the University's account.

thanks FutureDon knew I could count on u guys, thanks again

erictack203:
Add about 150k to your Account, so that FX Dept will not say insufficient funds, giving the fluctuation in Dollars these days, it will be better to over fund the Account than it to be underfunded and delay your Transaction. The Process takes about 3days and you get your swift. After 3 different debits. 1st Bank is really fast and good in this.

They will convert the equivalent of Oz Dollars to USD and credit the School in USD and the Sch will re-convert to AUD. Sometimes, the School will be overpaid after conversion and you will be advised by the School with the Difference, also sometimes, they may be underpaid and they will ask you to pay the little difference once in Oz.

Goodluck!

thanks so much for this Eric

I commend the effort u all r putting here to help others, well done.

Pls I got an offer to study at the university of Newcastle, and in other to get my CoE I was told to pay aud$10,834. I plan to do that on Monday by the grace of God.

But this is where I need you guys to help especially those that have paid their fees using first bank form A.

I discovered from this thread that banks won't convert directly to Australian dollars for you. The official exchange rate for aud is 143 naira. I already credited my account with 1.6milion naira having it in mind that that will be enough to cover the acceptance deposit of aud$10,834.

pls in other not for me to jonze on Monday when I go to pay my fees, how is the transaction done? Wat exchange rate do they use? Is it Australian dollar or USD? If it's USD, will that 10,834 drop to the equilvalent of an Australian dollar to USD which is around USD7701?

Pls guys help me here, I need your advise thanks so much

@masmek2016 I actually got admission @ the university of newcastle so I proceeded to make my payment using First Bank, I was debited after 3days of payment, thinking it was all over until dem debit second round d following day, as if it was not enough, the bank called me via telephone to credit my account again for I still want to debit more.... I don dey vex @ this time but I had no choice even if they wan 419 me, make dem sha debit so as for me to go to the next stage. After everything I was sent a Telex copy of my transaction and Globalpay sent me a msg on the 5day that they have received my payment and it has been sent to my account in the University of Newcastle, believing that after 3 to 5 working days I should get my ECOE but it didn't come .... I waited for 2weeks thinking that they were processing it. I got worried and decided to call UON, all they told me was that they haven't receive any payment with my student I'd and they can't give me a ECOE.... My head don hot ... I don dey fear, abi naso my 2million go enter water.. I decided to contact western globalpay and they told me that the university should check their account for they have sent the money to them since on the 13th of November 2015.... At last to cut the long story short! Na globapay do mistake for my student I'd and it was corrected and my coe was sent to me on the 27th Nov which is d next day. Na wetin make me apply late be dat oo.. I applied on the 30th of Nov and its just 2weeks 3days now... Make una pray for me ooo....
