Quick question please, can one book a one way flight to London going with the 4-tier visa? And would there be any disturbances either here in Lagos or in London at POE as per it’s not a return ticket? Thanks.

wale4me:



firstly,you do not need to book hotel in every cities you will be watching the games and the organiser of the games provided a free train transport from moscow to major cities hosting the games and return back to moscow, making it possible to stay in moscow and decide to travel to other cities for the games,also fligth from moscow to volgograd is just 1 hr 40 minute ,and airline within russia will increase the number of fligth meaning you can get a fligth to volgograd on the day of the match because most matches are played during the late evenings and return back to moscow after the match ,so bro, you can decide what you want to do and where you want to go when you enter russia.nobody will question why you have only hotel reservation in moscow ,so far the hotel reservation cover the duration of your stay it perfectly and you can also visit other cities FIFA FAN fest and some nigeria musician will be on ground to perform too and so much fun on ground for the worldcup and not just football fooball alone !!!!

In Russia, the FIFA Fan Fest will be held in all eleven host cities of the 2018 FWC, and will run for the entire tournament. For holding events, well-lit locations will be set aside in picturesque spots in central parts of cities, which any fan that plans to attend the World Cup in Russia can get to without problems.

The FIFA Fan Fest will be an indispensable part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, and its sites – places for meetings between Russians who love football, and fans from other countries.

Thanks bruv

Quick question, I plan on going to russia just to chill for like two weeks in moscow and come back my home, and the match ticket I have is for Nig vs Iceland in volgograd. My question is, will I be given stress at point of entry for only having hotel reservations in moscow and not having a hotel reservation in the city where the match of which I have a ticket will be played? Abi nothing concern them, once the match ticket and fan ID dey in order dem nor go disturb me, just want to know so as to adjust the plan. Thanks.

I want to know if the letter of authority has to be notarized for them to accept it or would just having him sign surffice. Thanks.

@wale4me please I need help on this matter

I want to know if I can collect a fanID for a friend, since the courier has refused to bring the fanID, I have decided to go to abuja to get it myself so while collecting my own, I want to collect a friend's own also.

Hello house, I have an issue. I have got match tickets and applied for my fanID, I got a notification that it has arrived in Abuja and paid for courier services via vfs website to have the fanID delivered to my address in Lagos. Thing is that it has been about 6 working days since I ordered the courier service and I have not got the fanID. I would like to know how long it takes for the courier service to deliver fanID to Lagos from vfs Abuja and also if there is a way to track the whereabouts of the fanID. Thanks.

Solitin40:

Turkish Airline is one of the best Airline companies in Europe

It is well bro.. Better things are yet to come..

I am in a dilemma currently, today i got an offer from a school in Canada for MBA even though my offer to study Master in Computing and Innovation with University of Adelaide is my preferred. With all these rejection letters from Australia, i don dey fear oh..I want to go with my wife and 2 year old..

I would want to advice that you apply first and after you have been given grant you apply for your family. But last week, a lady got a grant for herself and her husband. And in our case we took the route of applying for one person first and got a rejection. So no one really knows but I would still advice that the safest bet is to apply alone and when you are given the grant, apply for your family as dependants.

DIBP HAS SPOKEN!!!

So we got our letter from DIBP dated 12th December, on the 13th, It was a rejection. Reason stated was that "due to the economic and political unrest in Nigeria, they/he does not feel the applicant will be returning to her country after studies". I would have written sooner but have been busy consoling madam. Its now I actually feel the pain of others that have been rejected. I read the letter severally looking for another reason (that I felt might have been hidden in the letter) for the rejection.

-Medical doctor going for masters in Public Health
-International Medical degree
-a spouse and two kids remaining in Nigeria
-SOA of one year with closing balance of 332k AUD
-Reference letter (proof of employment) from Military hospital
-Proof of offer of employment on return to Nigeria
-Applied since 6th of June and had to defer to February 2018 session

And all this ENZO character see to talk na say Nigeria economy nor good so no visa grant and then political unrest, na me be Nnamdi Kanu?...lol. For all those still waiting, I pray for good fortune in the decisions of the CO dem in pretoria. It would seem like its more or less like a lottery now. On the brighter side, other plans can start taking effect since we have been released from our limbo state of visa expectation.

Thanks house for the advice and everything. Lets not allow news of rejections dampen our spirit, just pray and believe. Everybody's path is different. Will consult the house if we decide on re-application or what not. Make we first breathe fresh air small. Merry Christmas folks.

Joyfree:
I will advice you send them an email to know abt d progress of d application cos dats wat I did .

Thanks Joy, can I message you on whatsapp?

Congrats to all who have gotten grants. We still dey wait here oh, DIBP never decide do us well lol.

What to do Applied since June, deferred to february, they have called twice for supporting documents which we have provided. Account still reads "assessment in progress". New resumption date is February 26th. Is it time to give them a call abi na to still dey chill. I need your opinions. Man cannot have waited since July and dem go come do anyhow because of call. "Man's very hot oh!!!"

Cynate:
My hubby and I don't need a Visa to Ireland
But I think, you can both applied for Visa has long has you have your money.

Thanks a lot ma'am

ICaSNg:



Cynate is not been totally open about his/her visa category.

However, If you're married and applying or intending to go for a masters program in Ireland you can't go with an accompanying spouse. Your spouse may either apply for a masters program too or wait till you get your 2 years work permit and earn enough to invite your spouse.

For Medical doctors, the UK is recruiting for Doctors and Nurses-once they can pass @7 in each band of their Academic IELTS and for doctors Plab exams, Nurses only need to pass the ielts to receive a NMC Pin to come to the UK.

Cheers

Thanks, your reply was very enlightening.

Cynate:

Big city
Big expensive

I'm going for Nursing program while my Man loves is IT sector

Hi there, congrats of your visa and all, I wanted to know, did you and your husband apply for visa separately, the problem I am having is I do not know if I or my wife can apply for masters and have the other come as a dependant. And if not, does it now mean that she has to apply for a masters program as I am also applying and hope we both get granted visas

@ICaSNg: Quick question: As a medical doctor, is it necessary she does a masters program in ireland? Are there other better immigration partways for medical practicioners and/or engineers?

adebunmi07:
VISA GRANTED....

Was reading from the first page and thought to myself, "na @adebunmi07 go disvirgin this group based on visa grant" but that @pristine88 beat you to it. Wo, no late comer lol. You try based on taking the matter serious and taking the plung even without IELTS, I greet you. Congrats. We wey don marry with kids can not go and do one year first before bringing family over. Make we still dey wait our australia patiently. Congrats again.

babahameedah:


Brothers and sisters please, i need help o.

Please i want to know if its worth it. I am married with two kids. I intend applying for a masters in renewable energy in University of south Wales. Please if i pay the initial deposit before leaving and pay after arrival, will i be able to pay the remaining tuition after arriving Australia by working. can i bring my wife so she can work too? I want to be sure before dabbling into it.

Thanks.

Bros, yes you can travel with your wife and she gets to have unlimited work time. But I will advice you find a way of leaving your children back in naija so you go and settle down first before bringing them over, moreover, please do not make the mistake of applying for a visa for you and your wife at the same time. Apply for your student visa (after getting admission that is) and as soon as your visa is granted (by God's grace) you can start processing your wife's and kids' visa as dependants. Most times when you apply with your spouse at the same time, if would seem like you guys are eloping and with the craze buy going around those case officers in pretoria...well. Hope this helps enlighten you.

My people, you guys should relax, plus the one sounding like pessimist @slingshot and those that are firing back at him @ireayomide2015 and @cottyekundayo. First things first, it seems all of una don dey the OZ wey we dey talk so. So you can not be feeling what guys waiting now are feeling but at the same time its possible you were in our shoes before it all turned out joy. For those still waiting, please exercise patience, as someone said, if you want to do masters and come back home, then you can pull out and try germany (they even have free tuition) or finland. But if you have further plans like relocation after studies. Its not over till its over. Shebi we dey the same group with peeps like @kvickky and @balqs and many others and we dey use mouth collect visa around June/July but them don collect and dem don go and we still dey here and still holding on. Waiting for a decision from pretoria fit turn person to mad man yes but you go back out without knowing if they would have given you visa or not.

GET YOUR DOCUMENTS COMPLETE, CORRECT AND GENUINE, THEN WAIT. MAKE DEM TELL YOU WITH THEM MOUTH SAY "YOU CANNOT COME TO OUR COUNTRY" BEFORE KILLING YOURSELF WITH CONJECTURES AND GUESSING AND ALL THAT.

justwise:





Your suspicious activities here has to come to an end

@justwise Wetin @StAugustineof13 do you na?

sistaj:

Tell them you want to go for your studies first b4 nysc.explain in details that you intend to do it later or seek an exemption when you clock 30

Thanks, I guess thats the safest choice right now.

Cottyekundayo:

Those guys don sabi naija people to de do nysc niyen.
From my POV, get the exemption letter. That one of bla bla bla wey you wan talk say after school you wan come serve, I see am as red flag Sha.
You may wanna talk about delayed mobilisation et al.
Dibp, ba human being full there. Sometimes you can be lucky to get a good CO wey nor just get energy to stress people, and it may be otherwise.
I think with the right words you can convince them, if and only if it turns out you can't get an exemption letter.
Best regards.

Thanks bruv, thing is, I was told you can only get exemption if you were above 30 years at graduation, of which at graduation, age was below 30 years, so exemption letter via normal channels is out of it. The only other "legit" alternative is to inform DIBP that I am yet to serve due to the fact that I had to do my one year housemanship and have been waiting for their reply and so have not gone for the NYSC program. Finished housemanship in feruary, visa application July and turned 30 in august. From popular advice, an illegit exemption letter is out of the question. In your opinion, does my above highlighted explanation of timeline reference to why I havent been able to make the nysc program hold water logically (or illogically, lol) { na "almost" frustration laugh I dey laugh oh}

bestdiddy:
Hmmmnnn . . . My thought is that the Exemption Letter option is better ooo.

So many corporations in Nigeria take note of Youth Service as a statutory requirement upon graduation, and DIPB may as well have started looking at the NYSC that way too.

Meanwhile how did you pay school fees with Form M without NYSC or Exemption Letter. I understand its a required doc to process Form M for a masters degree seeking student . . . unless ofcourse you're not going for masters.

Anyways, i think exemption letter is preferable. I stand corrected.

The problem with exemption letter is that they say one must have been 30 years at graduation which is a criteria that we dont meet. And then the school is supposed to help request it but Vladamir Putin has bombed the school and surrounding communities.

sokoto:
DIBP don come with them wahala oh!!!

So we were contacted last week thursday for additional information,

- Updated Confirmation of enrolment Coe
- Bachelor certificate from University in Ukraine. I noted you provided diploma certificate.
- Proof of registration as Medical doctor with Nigerian medicals council
- Proof of financial support , 3 month Bank statement

Which we provided, although the certificate they already had is a Doctor of Medicine diploma, not the conventional diploma {terminology}. Now they contacted us today again asking for other supporting documents,

- Clear scanned copy of the original WAEC certificate
- Clear scanned copy of the original National Youth Service certificate
- Employment reference from the Military Hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos, including details of when you completed a housemanship at the Military Hospital.

Thing is we have not served yet nor have we registered online or anything. Options, should one go and get them a "nigerian" exemption letter or just inform them that we havent served due to the fact that we want to pursue further education before coming back to serve.

Advice needed!!! ( I nor know wetin concern DIBP with nysc cert unto going to school for dem country.



My advice is pls be very truthful with whatever information you are giving, u are so close to being granted.
Pls. When did you apply and when are you resuming?

Applied June 5th, original resumption was last week of august, defered admission and to resume last week in february

Madam, you stubborn oh. From what you wrote, you probably came across to them as someone who had choices and didn't really care if they granted or not, you just needed a decision. Maybe thats why they did not use you "to do yanga" lol. Congrats all round tho.

kelsy90:

When did you apply yours

July 5th

kelsy90:
Hi
For those we differed from July to Feb intake as anyone received his/her visa. We been patient enough.If you have received a response please let us know.

DIBP called last week for revised COE and other supporting documents. I am guessing they are getting around to attending to those who have been on ground since June/July now. #fingerscrossed

Tbaykaled:

Bros, nor be by document oh, those dibp guys dey on serious drugs. How can someone see a degree of Doctor of Medicine, thats an M.D degree not nigerian MBBS and still be saying that it seems the degree is a diploma and doesnt see how one can apply for masters with it.
