billydragon:

It should work. Send the embassy an email. I think they have a way of confirming payement. You might also want to print out the payment receipt.

According to the purpose of traveling the Uniform Schengen Visa applies to all of the three categories, “A”, “B” and “C”.
“A” category stands for the Airport Transit Visa which allows its holder to travel through the international zone of the Schengen Country Airport without entering the Schengen Country Area. Airport transit visa is mandatory for the citizens travelling from one non-Schengen state to another non-Schengen state through a change of flights in a Schengen Country airport.
“B” category stands for the Transit Visa which allows its holder to transit within no more than 5 days through more than one Schengen country by car, coach or plane on the way to a non-Schengen country.

“C” category stands for a Short-term visa which allows its holder to reside in a Schengen Country for a certain period of time depending on the visa validity. This particular category, according to the holder’s purpose of the travel can be obtained in a form of:
Single-entry visa allows its holder to enter a Schengen country only once for the certain period of time. Once you leave the certain Schengen country you entered the visa validity expires even if the time period allowed to stay in the country is not over yet.
Double-entry visa applies for the same policy as above mentioned however you are allowed to enter the Schengen country twice meaning that for the certain period of time permitted by your visa you can enter the Schengen country, leave and enter again without any problems. Once you are out of the country for the second time the visa expires.
Multiple-entry visa allows its holder to go in and out of the Schengen country as pleased. However this visa allows its holder to stay in a Schengen Zone for maximum 90 days within half the year, starting from the day one crosses the border between a Schengen member country and the non-Schengen member country.

The national visa of “D” category is granted to the certain individuals who are to be studying, working or permanently residing in one of the Schengen countries. The national visa can be of a single entry, granted for the people who are in need of residing in the Schengen country for a certain period of time and for a sole purpose after which they shall return to their country. On the other hand a multi-entry national visa is also granted for certain individuals allowing its holder to travel in and out of this Schengen country as he/she pleases and also travel throughout the whole Schengen Area without additional visa requirements.

Thanks bro... u don visit embassy for UKR?

billydragon:
boss, wat does d "d" stands 4 pls?

My broda me sef nor know o

presiade:
Ok, thanks.
For those who have gone through the RP application process, the embassy stamps applicant's passport before returning it. There are three letters A/C D on the stamp (they circled one of the letters), I'll like to know what they circled for you.
@iceberg, Olabode.

D was circled.

Nice one OP. I think Akintola willliams deloitte is another company that should be put on blast like this. One Mr Adekola there never gets back to candidates after testing or interviewing with them. Theyy end up filling in spaces thru the back door. I think it's the big 4 firm with the worst HR, one would wonder how they became the best place to work in naija‎

Hmmmm...... Akintola Williams Deloitte do not recruit through d back door. When did u apply and also when did you sit for the test. I know a lot of peeps that got in without knowing anybody in the firm.

If we can get above 30million pounds for him we can pat ourselves on the back.
How to fill his spot his the problem I don't think valdves is good enough to start, honestly I'll take a direct swap with navas rather than the money.

Direct swap??

Are u high??

Valdez is way better than Navas and we can get Cech for around 10M pounds.

Tvegas:
Depay isn't worth £31million. That money could be well spent on a good striker. How much did Chelsea get Costa last season?

I hope this is not another white elephant project. I wish we can collect refund on the likes of shaw, Di Maria that we wasted money on last season.

€31M not pounds..... that's around £23M. That's a steal for a bright prospect like DEPAYS. It is more expensive to sign a young player with a very bright future than an established player with 2-4 years of topclass football to offer.

Everton paid £20M+ for Lukaku
Wolfsburg paid over £20M for Schurlle after a not so good spell at Chelsea

....bottomline €31M is a steal for Depays. It might take sometime but he is gonna light up the EPL.

easrael:
Thanks cmanforall but I'll love this questions to be answered as time changes and I've read through page 0 to 75 on this thread and is still need like personal mentorship...

Time has not changed.....

Lemme give u a brief on cost

You need to be able to raise 1.5M or get a sponsor to deposit 1.5M in ur account.

Test of english will cost btw 35K - 40K

You can write one out of TOEFL, IELTS and PTE Academic

Notarization of certificates will cost between 50 naira to 200 naira per page.

transcript cost varies per school

You also need to get an international passport if you don't have one already.

You need to send ur transcript and application package to the school..... i used DHL and it costs 13,400. So multiply that by the number of application you will like to send.

...So u need around 65K for pre admission cost for one program.

....After admission you will need the following
32K for insurance
67K to 72K for residence permit fees
9K to send ur docs to the finish embassy... i used DHL
other expenses....5K ( bank statement, scanning n printing cost)

....So u should b looking at around 110k for post admission cost.

In total budget around 170K for one program excluding cost of obtaining transcripts from ur University and sending to d school of ur choice.


Please ensure u have a way of getting 1.5M in your account with d required support documentation.

Rooney is so versatile, he might be deployed as a CB next season hahaha!!!

Lmao... To me SAF greatest mistake was not shipping out Wazza before his retirement. The MF held the club to ransome on two different occasions and contemplated about joining the enemy (City).

elampiro:
We are talking about players getting weak from 2012 down. Not 1990-2008

Bros stop jumping from pillar to post.... You have been cornered just accept that your "Lazy Fergie players" claim does not hold water.

We all know that Fergie's major weapon was his winning mentality and other attributes such as nurturing of talents, ability to make piss poor players astute professional and winning machines.

Fergie understood the rigor of seasonal football, bar injury he had his team sheets prepared already by the beginning of the season.

I also agree with the issue u raised concerning Fergie's Assistant coaches, the moment Carlos Q left, the team started having issues with recruiting young talented players and also some technicality with the modern game which Fergie was not really sound about meant we struggled against teams handled by master tacticians such as Guardiola, Mou, Bielsa etc. Yes men like d diick head, Mike Phelan contributed nothing to the team unlike Carlos Q, Steve Maclaren....

Elam-pawa although I enjoy ur "battles" with Coogar (dis man no gree battle for rap section again) on this thread, u got this particular claim wrong!

Growingboi:
Good to hear that no study fee for now.
i followed Germany thread bt i quited due to language barrier n 8040 euro for RP processing.
am looking forward to applying to mech engr/mechatronics in both LUT and aalto and material engineering in TUT.
August? congrats bro. i wont mind to get ur contact (bbm or whatzapp) please cox i gat alot of questions to ask regarding application cox i had my HND in nigeria n Bachelor in South Africa.
Though sending transcripts is nt an issue for S.A university bt naija own na d koko

I remove cap boss

Lol.... leave matter for Matthias.... i got all info and assistance from this thread.

You only need to send the transcript for ur Bachelors from SA... u only need ur HND cert which is not really necessary.

Send me a mail via nairaland i will respond and we can discuss via emails.

I will prefer you ask ur questions here so other peeps in ghostmode can benefit.

Growingboi:
God bless u brother.
I hv read thru d thread and i v concluded plans to apply to aalto, TUT and LUT(if tuition fees nt introduced ). and to do a notary public in ikeja at N50 per copy. i v started preparation for ielts(bought study materials at british council, ikoyi) . application starts 1st December.

please, which month should i ask my school to send the transcript so as to get there by December considering delay and other factors and if Tuition fees is introduced, which country ll u suggest as plan B for me?

From my knowledge Finnish instituitions won't be introducing tuition fees anytime soon. You should request ur uni to send ur transcript immediately the application period starts.

You might also want to consider Norway and Germany. Although Norway requires around 2.7M for ur upkeep for its RP processing while Germany will need you to deposit around 2M in a german bank.

What course are you looking to apply for in TUT and Aalto?
I will b attending TUT by August. Aalto was my first choice nut i was not offered a place...the course i applied for Industrial Engineering and Management requires a First class in bachelor's studies.

My sponsor is the owner of the company o. No Payslips, no balance sheet o and whats P AND L? and whats up with the result checking card?

You should include the result checking card in the package that will be sent to the embassy.

P and L.... Statement of Profit or Loss account

Growingboi:
thank you brother. i knw dat i ll go to my school to get the sealed envelop. bt must the school send it themselves, cant i get it frm the school and send it myself alongside with other documents for d application?

The Transcript can only be sent with the certified copy of ur BSc degree which can be certified by ur University.

To be on the safe side and to prevent rejection of your transcript, I will advise you leave the sending of your transcript to be done by your University.

Before you even talk about transcript you need to do the following.
1. Search on www.studyinfinland.fi for schools and MSc programs that are offered in English.
2. Select courses/schools that you will like to apply to.
3. Visit the university's website, review and understand the requirements.
4. Decide on the Test if English Language that you will sit for. Pick one out of IELTS, TOEFL or PTE Academic
5. Pass the Test of English Language.... Min score required for MSc application for IELTS is usually 6.5 and for PTE 54 or 62.
6. Get all necessary docs required for your application, notarized/certified certificates (BSc degree and WAEC), motivation letter, transcript etc.
7. Certificates can be notarized at any high court in the country.... did mine for 70 naira per copy at Ikeja High Court.
8.Wait for application period to commence and ensure that you send all required documents to the school or UAF (if UAF us in charge) in good time.

.....You can go through the thread for more info.

Residence Permit fee for electronic application is 67K which you will pay to Standard Chartered Bank. The bank details will be sent to you when u book your appointment with the embassy. You will have to present the deposit slip at the embassy.

You will also need documents that will support the source of your sponsors income....pay slips, letter of employment, balance sheet and P & L statements of company, CAC registration form, etc.

Sirkezman, adebasket, billydragon and all other bosses....
Please I need to know how to merge my scanned documents into one attachment, preferably pdf.
My SOA was for 6months, hope say no wahala dey...

I want to merge so as to upload as a single attachment. I prefer pdf. That's Why I'm seeking una professional help.

Though powerpoint can do it, but the MB go pass required max of 2MB.

Awaiting ur replies.

Thanks

If u have access to a scanner, set the scanner to "continuous scanning mode" or "build mode" then reduce the resolution......Tada!! You are good to go.

Growingboi:
thank you brother. i knw dat i ll go to my school to get the sealed envelop. bt must the school send it themselves, cant i get it frm the school and send it myself alongside with other documents for d application?

It should be sent by your school that is part of d requirement. I actually know someone that collect from his school and sent it himself. The trick is that, you need to fill in the name of ur school and the principal officer as sender.

WhyNa:
Good. You spent 4hr just to go through 45 pages. I went through the same thing last year too. Spent more hours than you did and believe you me, it's not good for the eyes. That you went through it doesn't mean every other newbie should go through it to 'earn' their place. Just saying though. I've dropped the matter so please don't quote me again.

waoooh..... seriously... You are taking this issue too far.

And if i quote u....

Growingboi:
my heroes in d house, am a bit confuse here, i read this from 'required document' in aalto website that only d transcript posted directly from onez previous uni to them ll b accepted and proceeded.

my plan is to apply to different school in fi. so how do i ask my school to post transcript to all these school am planning to apply to?

please help a brother out

Go to d transcript office at your school they are experienced with sending of transcripts.

Yes, you need to send 1 transcript for every program u are applying to. Even if u are applying to same sch.

So five programs/courses, five transcripts.

Also ensure that d envelop in which d transcript is put into is properly sealed and d back flap is stamped properly by ur University .

If u have enough funds...send ur transcript using a courier service provider e.g DHL, UPS, etc.

If u are having some cash flow issues.... send ur documents on time using NIPOST REGISTERED MAIL OR EMS SPEEDPOST.

WhyNa:
Seriously, we have to stop this read from page 0 thingy. Do we realize that this thread is now up to 110 pages? I started using glasses after I did that last year (JK).

Please for the sake of new comers, so they dont get discouraged and all, someone with deep and accurate knowledge should spare some time and lay the procedures down. Thanks

I did that about two to 3 pages ago....

Reading other peeps comments and experiences helps alot.

I spent 4hrs at night to read from first page to page 45 when i joined d thread Last year November.
Going through the thread prevents questions like..... how do i go about this finland admission. Any some questions that have been flogged and answered zillions of times.

Bros read d thread from first page all d info u need are in d thread

sureb0y:
I personally think this is okay. E go just remain to convince them that u're coming back to naija after two years. U fit get job offer wey go state say upon completion of ur studies, u'll be coming back to take up the position of... in... company. Na just suggestion o. We're both applicants, na to just rub minds. I no be migri employee.

Finland peeps no take life as hard as dem US, UK and Canada peeps.... all dem need na for u to prove say u get enough funds for your first year. Them no say a lot of peeps go find work and there is a provision for that in the residence permit ... 25hrs per week for per time work and no limit during the summer.

If dem want all does prove dem go ask for EUR6,720 multiplied by 2.

Na my observation be that and based on feedback from peeps wey I know wey dey FI. Finland peeps like documentation and logical flow of things.

1. Prove beyond reasonable doubt say u get enough funds for 1 year.
2. Provide all compulsory docs (health insurance, bank statement with EUR6,720, valid passport etc.)

If you read up some stuffs on migri website, you will notice that there is a 6 months period after graduation for one to search for job opportunities. E no b like UK wey wan dey sure say person go come back. I don't think migri takes the home ties issh serious.
