Criptonyte:
Please @Justwise or anyone who would help me with this issue.

My visa has been issued for sometime now and I paid for courier service as the distance from my location to Lagos is much.

I haven't heard from TLS and I would like to get the number that I can directly call to lay my complaints as I have written them yesterday but it'll take 3 working days to get a response.

Okechukwu2686:

Okechukwu2686:
@justwise @Zoey1 I spoke with the ukvi yesterday and I was told that decision has been made and I tracked my application on tls website and still with th3 DMc. When I called tls contact Abuja the guy started requesting for money 15500 for Vat. I think I spoke to a wrong person

kode12:
@justwise @Zoey1 can I walk into TLScontact to make enquiries about my passport without a dispatch email?

Sebij:
Thank you for the reply.
if she sends the money to my account, hope it won't be mistaken for an 'unexplained lump deposit'?
There have been some irregular transactions in my acct in the past 3 months, that was why I was looking at doing 3 instead of 6, with a sponsor. do you think I stand a chance if I make it up to 4?

Sarina6002:
The same way you took down my post take down my my mobile number.
Because the same people you are warning are sending messages to my phone number for the same accommodation.
And then carry your group on your head .

Sarina6002:
Here guys, I am the unstable one who sent this woman a message,

I am a student here in Dublin like everyone, given the hassle student go through in Dublin to get a place to rent, I thought i was being nice by sharing vacant accommodation to student who needs it, in our house, I’m NOT the landlord, I am a tenant in this house, I never asked anyone for money I only put out vacant space here, to help those who needs it. This women who runs a study abroad agency, the school pays her to bring student to Ireland and when they are done with admission they leave Students hanging, she started this thread to pretend like she is only helping people to answer question but meanwhile she is running a study abroad agency.
Why did she clean out her student agency info and left my number. I can only guess you are hiding something, you want to be in the good light and put me in the bad light. I accept, but atleast I am genuinely helping student.

Here is my own screen shots, with the complete message and her info.
By the way she blocked me from WhatsApp.

By the way you have no right whatsoever to put out my number in a public place like this .

GUYS SHE IS GOING TO DELETE THIS POST.
If you do and don’t allow people to see my own side of the story , I will started a new thread with this same study in Ireland starting with your name to call you out.

I'm planning to apply to Robert Gordon University Aberdeen for Msc business and management.(2years with placement). Please how is life in Aberdeen,do the school accept flexible payment and probably scholarship for Nigerians My fear is can I get a job while schooling and also on holidays to cater for my needs. Can I get stay back in Aberdeen after my Msc to work. Many things on my mind. I will appreciate your response

omopapa:
All UK unis allow flexible payment of the balance after paying the 50% before issuing CAS

There’s usually a 5-10% discount if u pay ur tuition in FULL within a set date

There’s enough petty jobs for students to sustain and pay ur bills while ur studying but ur placement might take most of ur time

You can stay back if u like the city or u can relocate to another city you have family and friends.

The following steps will help newbies (Thanks to CassieV for the tips)


Most of the schools in Germany are tuition free even for international students, you only get to pay a certain amount as semester fees say between 100-400 euros and most times the semester fee comes with a semester ticket to aid in transportation in your city or town.
However, before you're granted a student visa, you have to prove that you can take care of your living expenses with one of the following means ;
1. Block account: The estimated living expenses for a student in a month is 720euros, when you multiply that by 12 months, you get 8640euros. This is the amount you're required to block in an already opened account with either Deutsch bank, Fintiba or Xpatrio. It is called a block account because you will not be able to withdraw everything at once, only 720euros will be released to you every month.
2. Sponsorship letter: If you have a relative living and working legally in Germany, they can get you this letter. They'll have to visit the alien office in their city and will be required to provide some documents and pay a certain fee. The letter will be sent to you when they receive it so that you can go with it for your visa interview.
3. Scholarship: This is usually the best if you have the scholarship, your visa will be granted in under 2 weeks after interview. So try and look for scholarships you can apply to.

Now that you understand the financial situation, let's go into the application process.
To search for schools, click on this link
https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/?p=l&q=&fos=0&lang[]=2&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list
filter your search to make it easier, there are English taught courses there.
Generally, the very important documents needed to apply to schools in Germany are;
1. Transcript
2. English Proficiency
3. School Certificates (Degree, Waec, etc)
However, depending on the school, some other documents needed are as follows.
4. Curriculum Vitae
5. Motivation letter
6. Reference letters
7. GRE test
8. Etcetera.. Visit your prospective school website and find out the documents they need from you.
Note: You don't apply with your original documents, you have to make photocopies of them and Certify them in High court or a Notary public. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the German Embassy too. You'll have to book appointment for that.
For those planning to go for a Bachelors course, you need a 100level transcript from a university to apply for a BSc program in germany. WAEC alone will not be enough and No, OND will not do, you need a HND.

For the application proper, it is always important to go through the website of the schools you want to apply to, you'll get a lot of information form there concerning how to apply. Some schools do only online applications, some requires that you send your application documents to them by post after applying online, some you send your documents as pdf to their email address and then you get the uni assist crew.
Like I said earlier, it is important to go visit and read the websites.

When you get your admission letter, open a block account immediately(that is if you don't already have a sponsorship letter) and as soon as you get your account details, send an email to the embassy requesting for a visa interview date.
You need these to get an interview date:
1. Admission letter
2. Block account/sponsorship letter/scholarship letter
3. International passport data page(scanned)
Then your Full name and Resident address.

Prepare for your interview
Go for your interview

No sir, I’m still a student. I was just going for a visit in the uk

Packboizzy:
Please am thinking of going to hustle in any of this two middle east country. But I need help in choosing the right one. Areas of emphasis are: job opportunities whether white or blue collar, currency, highest paid and work friendly environment. Thanks

Nikimanni7:
Hello House, Please for any of us experienced applicants, I was refused a visit visa around late November because I didn’t show proof for source of funds. I apparently submitted only his bank statement and sponsorship letter(My bad). Though I plan on applying again May/June. My dad is acting as my sponsor and he owns a business. What type of documents do think will be enough to convince the consular officer.
This is the first reason I was denied.

Also I was also denied because my birth certificate was issued way after my birth(2019). I mean I was issued a new one because my old one got missing. I only submitted the new birth certificate as evident of relationship with my parents but I got refused too cause of this reason.
Next time I’m applying, should I submit an affidavit and police report to proof it really went missing or I should just do a declaration of age?
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

fakmurphy:
Hi great people of this institution, @justwise et all. I'd like to seek some clarification on UK Visa application. By April, my firm is sending 2 staffs to London for a 2 days property investor show, the admission to the exhibition is free of charge so we're only paying the staffs (attendees) for flight, accommodation and feeding. So my questions; 1) What are the documents to be supplied by the firm. We usually pay staffs salaries into their accounts without payslips or tax deduction. 2) What are the documents to be supplied by the applicants themselves?. 3) Although we stand to gain a lot from the event but does the fact that the admission to show is free of charge raises an eyebrow from the embassy?.

NIFES:
Hello house.
I got my passport back today with a 6 months validity Visa stamp after 2 previous rejections all thanks to God and experience gained from following this thread.
I have learnt so much on here and the travel section in general.
Thanks @Justwise and other gurus for the patience you take in answering our varying (and some times ridiculous) questions.
I appreciate it all. God bless .
Cheers.

Are they in US or only U.K.?

odinga1of:
Oga can my friend in Indonesia use all this method to send me money to Nigeria

Mancala:
Wow, for real? Sendwave has no fees? How do they make money? Perhaps it's built into the exchange rate. I will give it a try. It would be awesome to have the money delivered in 5 mins. One of the issues with Western Union is that they sometimes hold up the transfer and start asking stupid questions (in my opinion). Money sometimes gets hung up for days when they promise an instantaneous transfer.

Thanks for the recommendations. It's good to have options. WU has seen me finish and has gotten arrogant!

Mancala:
Mr EgunMogaji2

In one of your previous posts on this threads, you said this:
The other thing is that the advent of internet has made internet banking easy. With sites like BossRevolution and others, one can easily fund local bank accounts

I've been looking for an alternative to Western Union which I consider safe but occasionally gives me lots of hassles. How would you rate BossRevolution vs WesternUnion. Any other recommended online sites? My concerns are around safety of banking and credit/debit card information.
Thanks

ayinkala:
She would not be allowed with the international passport which is expiring soon. Ask her to renew her passport now and attached it with the one about to expire and go to Canada. That is just it. S[b]he must have at least 6 month validity of her International passport.

Funmibiyi96:
Hello Everyone,
Please I am new to the page and would like to ask a question

How much can I expect to earn as a work placement student in the UK?

I got admission into Teesside University for September 2020 (had to defer from Sept 2019) for MSc Food process Engineering - 1 year of coursework and 6 months of work placement. Tuition fee is 15000 pounds but I get to pay 7500 per year (2 years masters). I can raise the initial 7500 pounds and upkeep costs before resuming for the first year but I am hoping to earn the remaining 7500 during the work placement. Can that work? i wouldnt want to go without having a plan and get stranded.
Please gurus, respond.

Hello House

Please if anyone has genuine knowledge about this or can direct to Canadian authority contact that can give answers and advice

My niece is currently in UK on a visit and returns to Nig early March

Her current passport expires 18th March 2020 and she has a Canadian visitor visa of 5 years which also expires 18th of March 2020. She has visited Canada once last year but planning to visit again before the visa expires . She is planning to visit Canada for a week between 16th feb to 23rd Feb 2020.

The question bothering us is will she be allowed to enter Canada as her passport and visa expires in a months time.
We don't want a situation of wasting money for tickets and then being turned back from port of entry because of the soon to expire passport.
We have looked online for information but nothing concrete and we even thought of contacting Canadian authority to ask if she can come In but don't know where to direct the enquiries.

Should she buy her tickets and chance/risk it and hope for the best
So if anyone is knowledgeable about this pls advice

Thanks for your help

That I quoted this doesn't mean I didn't see your other comments on this thread.
People who have become successful abroad would at a point have a need to return home but if you are still caught in the rat race circle,then you got no choice and I believe the OP falls under the former.lets just wish him luck.
