Please sir, sorry to bother you. I just got an offer from vamia. I have the money to fund my stay. But I do not know the best way to present the funds to satisfy the embassy. Should I use a sponsor? Should I use a business or personal? Please this is very complicated for me. I don't want to take chances with the RP. PLEASE I NEED GUIDANCE. THANK YOU. MY EMAIL IS WHILLTREE@GMAIL.COM

Ododomama:
I greet everyone, please I need explanation on this quote from the website of Finland embassy Abuja "The legalized document(s) will be sent to the applicant’s given address in Finland"
Does that mean we can receive the documents here in Nigeria?

Generalscope:
Which stage are you in now?

Did they request additional information from you?

My RP has been approved. I want to know how long it will take to receive my permit card in Nigeria

Has anyone received his/her permit card recently? Pls how long did it take after you had a positive decision

Generalscope:
Please is there anyone who have recently received his/her residence permit card while still in Nigeria, I want to know how long it took pls.

hikiki:
Good morning ma,pls I need clarity..u mentioned 220 euro per documents to be legalized,and some places on the net is saying 30 euro per documents. Sorry, I will need clarification pls.

Legalization of marriage certificate €220
Legalization of birth certificate €220/child
Resident permit application €350
Resident permit application for spouse €450
Resident permit application for children €240

Service charge for each resident permit application N37,500

Some other small costs. These expenses are after you've gotten the admission and have paid your tuition fees.

You can pay all the € costs in naira at official rate

hikiki:
Ma pls,sorry for my disturbance..does a dependent wishing to follow his or her spouse to study in Finland also pay for Resident permit application fee?

Positivitttty11:
Thank you for all your help I just got a positive decision on my application

hikiki:
Good evening ma, if the couple are not going with the kids for now,would you advise we legalize theirs alongside ours at same time? Would the request for theirs, knowing we r not going with them

hardeyeanc:
Thanks for your response ma,

But the question 4 is still not clear to me... Are u saying I will pay €220 each to legalize the following documents
1. Marriage certificate
2. Birth certificate (for me)
3. Birth certificate for 2 dependants
3. BSC. Certificate
4 O, level totalling €1320

Adeleyeibrahim:
Thanks as always sir, this is quite explanatory.
One more question on this please. After all the documents mentioned has passed through MOE & MOFA, which of them will pass through second legalization by VFS global?

Adeleyeibrahim:
Thank you sir. I guess with the dependant husband/wife as well?

Adeleyeibrahim:
I greet you, please the legalization of birth certificate, is it just that of the admitted students or the dependant must be legalized also.

hardeyeanc:
Hello ma,

I have been going through this thread and I will say you have been trying your best to answer all questions without insult or harsh response... God bless u...
My question is on this legalization of certificate; I understand marriage certificate and birth certificate is to legalized in the ministry of foreign affairs while educational certificates should be done in ministry of education.. but
1 . do you have idea how much it will cost to get this things done?
it's not really expensive. I don't think you should spend more than 3k per document for attestation. Or maybe 5k if they too want to start thinking of dollar increase

2. Must we travel to Abuja to get all these things done or it can be process in Lagos The federal ministries are in Abuja. I did mine there. I don't know if they do in Lagos

3. At what point do we need the legalized documents? Before applying for Admission or after we have gotten the admission and we want to put in study permit application or RP as the case may be?
I started mine after I got admission letter. If your faith is strong enough, maybe you can start now before you get admission but I won't advise you to

4. You mentioned €220 in on of your post, to be paid to Finnish embassy in Abuja or VFS is this payment for the all documents or per document
It's per document and you'll pay the naira equivalent

Adez1:
Please Sir, how much is this verification fee?
Also does anyone have idea of how much is the health insurance fee for vamia

Positivitttty11:
Yes
I sent them the payment 5 days ago they said it is yet to be confirmed.
What if they start continue processing my application without it, what is the probability of my rp coming out positive without the document?

Positivitttty11:
They haven't acknowledged it
When I started applying for residence permit, I was told that there was no need to legalize my documents for studies now I received a supplement on my application that I need to send them my legalized birth certificate. Do you by any chance know the reason why they are asking for legalized birth certificate when I'm going for studies?

newhere1234:
Thank you very much for the contribution, i’ll continue to look forward to answer it.

AllLovingGod:
You're really one of a kind ma'am! May the Good Lord richly bless you for your invaluable contributions here, Amen.
Talk of an angel in human form.

newhere1234:
Good afternoon Outstandingmam.
I was talking to someone about vamia application, he applied in January and already been granted student permit so he should me the question of the study motivation they asked for in January(first attached image).
Then he said on checking the link he used in applying before he saw this new study motivation, they're two; motivation to study abroad and economic motivation(second attached inage).

So my question now is what should we write in the economic motivation if it happens to be the question asked by Monday 7th of Aug. I'm trying to write something down in advance so I'll be able to submit quickly.
I just need main bullet point, thanks a lot, I appreciate.

Positivitttty11:
I have done both and even paid. I'm still waiting for them to send the instuctions on how to send the document so how long would the process take?

Positivitttty11:
Hello please how long does it take to legalize a document e.g Birth Certificate at the Finnish embassy

Today, I spoke with President Tinubu of Nigeria about the strong ties between the Nigerian and American people and our shared work on global and regional issues—from defending democracy in West Africa and the Sahel to promoting digital inclusion and economic growth.

Hotnun:
No I haven’t. I just need to be sure so I can be guided on the best move.

Hotnun:
Please I need your advise. I intend moving with my husband and 2 kids for my maters. I want to ask if a sole custody document/family court order will suffice in place of consent letter from my daughter’s father (we were never married and I have been fully responsible for her upkeep for 10 years now, as he’s a NO SHOW).

Ge0grapher:
Must the POF be in your account, or that of a sponsor is accepted ??

Hotnun:
POF is 4.6 million? Please at what rate did you do the calculation? I got over 6 million when I calculated.

Sizzy11:
The competition is insane. I'm a single lad and I applied for a second Bsc. The yearly tuition is 9500 euros. Scholarship option only applies within the context of completing a certain amount of study credits each year, giving 20 percent discount. My brother in Canada is willing to help me with the first semester payment, which I will use in confirming acceptance of offer. My bone of contention now is POF. By my calculations it's roughly 6 million naira now.

Sizzy11:
Thanks for your comprehensive reply. The uni offered an online study option for the 1st semester. With an option for extension if visa isn't available for January resumption still. If after 4th of September visa isn't out, the online option kicks off.
The conditional admission requires first semester fee of 4,750 euros be paid by 28 July latest. Not a very convenient timeframe either. It's a tricky spot, admissions this year was competitive and I fear it's will be more so next time.
On another note is the city of Porvoo relatively affordable?. Anyone who got into Finland recently please how has living expense being for you. This whole process takes heart. More grace to everyone🙏🏾

Sizzy11:
Hello house, good evening. I and a colleague had been on waiting list with Haaga Helia uni. We had even crossed out the possibility. Surprisingly an offer of admission came in just yesterday. I will like to ask, especially from those who just went through the visa process if it's possible to push it within this limited time frame.

Untube:
Good day , please I need your help on my wife's application form. We want to fill out admission form, we saw upper secondary School. My question is, she have her first degree in international relations, we were asked to provide upper secondary school transcript. Can she use her university transcript or secondary school transcript?
