Isyomah:

Isyomah:
Please I sent an email request to you. I just got admission at Eastern institute of technology. I need some guidance for visa application

Kels4real5663:
Please I would like to ask a question. Please about the POF we are going to use, is it advisable to be in my own account or my partner that want to apply for the PhD? Because we want to start to build the account now so it won’t delay us.

We are planning to apply together as couples

Thank you so much for this. I tried sending you a personal message via your email. I would like to confirm some information from you especially for Lincoln University, did you apply for any funding? Secondly, the dedicated agents; they shared one with me but he has not been responsive since 14th of July. How long did the whole process take for you? And the total amount too. I was a bit confused with the $60k, is it inclusive of the living expenses. How much is the annual tuition for PhD at Lincoln?

Apologies for the long questions. I look forward to your feedback.

Good morning great people,

I have HND and currently in Nigeria, can I get MSC admission directly in NZ ?

If not, are there top up courses I can do? If yes, would I be eligible to travel with my partner on the topup course

Lotusflowerbomb:
Since visa is under probability, are there schools that allow you pay your tuition fee after visa has being approved?

kinkyhead:
Good day guys, pls for study visa is it 3months or 6months Bank statement required? Thanks

1. I always say check the New Zealand immigration website, I have never seen a comprehensive website like theirs, it has the official information you are looking for, not personal opinions like mine that might no longer be valid at the current time.

2. Contact PhD supervisor/supervisors especially in your preferred PhD field, research on their work and see how it aligns with your proposed PhD thesis and to include that information in your email when contacting them. When they have accepted your proposal, contact the school for their admission processes, each school has their tuition fees and scholarships, if you qualify.

3. Work with a PAID LICENSED immigration adviser in New Zealand especially as you are a Nigerian (I am assuming), agents like IDP work only with the principal applicant.

Cheers!

Why choose Letterkenny? Thats far North of Ireland and close to Northern Ireland.
Its a nice city but very cold as Irish weather is crazy
No summer in Ireland but for the past few days the weather as been super cool
Sunny everyday
Depending on what you are going to study ? IT is hot cake
