Please very important: for your medicals, use only INZ approved Panel physicians in your home country. The list of current panel physicians is on their website.

You might see St. Nicholas Hospital there, but last time I went there, they no longer provide such services. So I used the second panel physician in Victoria Island Lagos. There are other approved physicians in Abuja and PH respectively, but they are just few.

Your result will be sent directly to INZ and they will give you a reference number you will use to complete and submit your application.

Oya fire on.

@Femi, tell you Kiwi wife to buy a bigger pot. We plenty dey come...

Thank you so much. Please, when showing financial proof, the statement of account to be used must have money that covers the total tuition fees plus the $15000, I mean if the total tuition fees is $25000, the SOA must have at least $40000 like that or it's just only the $15000 it must contain at least?

Ensure you draft a very good statement of purpose (SOP) that "must" emphasize the relevance of your chosen program to your current situation or employment back home. It must explain any gap in your education/ career since after graduation.

Most importantly, your 6 months bank statement must show a steady balance of the estimated expenses plus tuition otherwise, attach a "letter of explanation of source of funds" for any huge and recent deposit in your account.


These little things go a long way in reducing your processing time because your Case Officer will have enough info at his disposal and Baba God go do the rest.

Thanks for this but please, I want clarification on something. Must the total tuition fees be paid after the AIP before the real visa can be given or one can pay half or part of the tuition fees and send them the receipt and still receive the visa?

ezinwaJesu:
You don't have to pay tuition before Visa application. Start your application with your unconditional offer of place and ensure your medical and x-ray test reference number is handy because you can't submit an application for students visa up to one year without the result.

Once Immigration is satisfied with your application, you will receive what is called "Approval In Principle (AIP)".
Once your application is approved in principle, you pay your full one year tuition immediately and send the receipt to INZ for confirmation. Students Visa is usually issued up to 5 days after submitting receipt of tuition payment.

Remember your Nigerian Passport must go to South Africa for confirmation before an AIP. So get everything ready along with a passport handling fee of R505.

Best of luck.

Thanks a lot for this. Really appreciate it

Student visa is the best and u can go from there... search for one year course program from any institution......preferably all these institutions of technology. They might be cheaper than Uni, I’m not so sure

Please sir, I have received my unconditional offer letter but I want to ask if it's compulsory to pay the full tuition fees before applying for the visa or the visa can be granted without paying tuition fees?
