This is tricky - which part of your Date of birth has the error? Is it the day, month or year?

If DAY / MONTH, you can get a sworn affidavit to explain the errors. If its the year and you don't have a Government birth certificate that was issued at birth by NPC then this becomes a little more complex.

Please house is it compulsory one get a lawyer for appeal or one should just reappeal and sent the documents required alone

You don't need a lawyer to appeal an Irish refusal-

Address all points raised comprehensively with detailed and genuine supporting documents and ADD LOTS OF PRAYERS

As a phd applicant you sholud have a higher chance of visa approval..
You need to address the basis of rejection one after the other.
1.Insufficient fund..read the detailed requirement for finance. The 7000 Euros requirement either in bond or ur in account and well explained....
2. Ur uk immigration evidence shd be evident in your passport.. though I dont really get that.
3. Pls write an application letter stating your reason for applying for phd, choosing the school and why Ireland.

Hi guys. Hope say una dey okay. Anyway, so I have lived in Ireland for decades. Recently married a very fine young woman. We applied in August 2021 and denied after 7 months. See shock!! Then Fear!! Exasperation then Realization that we may not have submitted enough documents. We recently put in an Appeal. They listed what they wanted in the rejection letter: Evidence of ongoing communication prior to and after marriage; visits to applicant in home country; Remittances to spouse; risk to public funds etc... We provided documents as best we can but honestly not banking on it. ... ...

Gdmornin, please i need help about an ireland spouse appeal. Couldnt find the thread for ireland. I submitted an application but it was refused that i didnt prove my family relationship with my EU spouse. Though i included my marriage certificate but they said it wasnt certified and ascertained by relevant authorities.

For those that their visa were denied, am truly sorry about that but the truth is that I was once in that terrible mood when I was denied. I felt the world has collapsed on me but little did I know that it was the will of GOD.
What do I mean? My first application was 101% ok. I submitted everything even added extra documents to prove my transparency. My financial aspect was clearly stated. I had enough money left after i have paid my school fees, I presented my letter of employment, my pay slips, letter of recommendation from our HR..... Infact my statement of account I printed corresponded with my pay slips and inflow/outflow of money was 101% consistence. All the reasons for their denial were funny because they were part of the evidence I presented. Eg My financial status, date of birth (Note: I have never used another date of birth since my childhood, my WAEC result has my original date of birth crested on it, my birth certificate from NCC, my baptizmal card looking old you will clearly know that it was not forged in all they said I gave a fake date of birth... hahahaha. The ONLY thing I did not do was EDUBOND. So when I was apealing I used EDUBOND, immigration lawyer in Nigeria and presented all documents I submitted earlier according to the way it was stated in IRISH website.
Finally a decision was made and my visa was APPROVED.

I'll attempt to
Edubond is not a guarantee but is a better bet than the challenging invasive statement of account. Kindly note, it's been said, still show statement of like 3 mths with some appreciable balance.

FAQ: [url]educationbondireland.com/en/edu-faq.aspx[/url]
You may use Form A (CBN overseas education payments through banks), however a sizeable numbers of banks don't. You may end up funding a Dom account.
You'll need university details.
Irish visa application detail. I posted one 2 or 4 pages back I think.

Sorry I sent this later, was kinda busy.
Thanks to you guys, I appreciate all the help I've gotten from this platform.

semmyk:
Thanks Godkiaz. Apparently, most bank don't process edubond through Form-A, which is unfortunate. Well, nothing much one can do. Technically though, edubond ought to fall under university (living) expenses!
Nonetheless, searching through this thread, some have successfully funded their edubond through Form-A while others had to use Dom account. What is even intriguingly is that branches of the same bank process differently: some do, some don't!!

Good day everyone. Please I want to confirm if it’s important for my sponsor to submit his international passport as one of the supporting documents for visa application. Because right now, his passport has expired and Lagos is fully booked till November.

Any Government approved ID is acceptable

Hello Everyone,

Please I need your advice.

My VISA was refused due to insufficient funds amigst others. I paid the school fees in full, also paid for bond but I had roughly #1M as at when I applied. Upon refusal, I sold my car and everything sum up to over #2. 5 when I appealed. I added more documents too but I was still denied base on same reason.

I'm currently processing another school for February intake but I do not know what to do differently in terms of visa application.

I have attached both refusal letters.

Please help.

Hello All,

WELCOME TO IRISH STUDY VISA THREAD
==========================

I am creating this thread to answer any queries on how to get :

1. Admission offers in Ireland
2. Visa processing
3. The post study work visa types available in Ireland
4. Opportunities for IT , Engineering and Health scs Students /Graduates.

Ask me any questions on the above and I believe I should be able to provide valid information.

Cheers

Someone hint me that both UK and Irish work together

ICaSNg:
The refusal letter is not making reference to the amount you have but making reference to areas you did not address in details :
1. Where you paid your tuition from i.e Bank account and how you came about the funds
2. Proof of all employment or Gap periods from after SSCE till date
Like I've always emphasized, Education bond does not necessarily make a difference if your application is not convincing enough?

semmyk:
The 'answer' is in your appeal refusal (read with your visa refusal).
Using edubond does not absolves you providing good intent to study and explain flow of funds for 6 mths (bank statements). What edubond does is to limit/curtailed the degree of intruding into your (financial) privacy (and that of your sponsor) or make it easier for you not to require a sponsor.
Kindly bear in mind that the VO (whether Ireland, UK, US, Canada or any other) are fully aware of PoF as a business in 9ja!
The key thing one can see/read from these two letters is that you did not do the needful to succinctly explain your incomes for the six months period. Also, it is apparent that you seemly make large sum deposit close to your visa application. This you did not explain until when you were appealing. Even at that, by that time, you merely glossed over things. The VO took cognisance of this and came to your 'rescue' in a way: ... various side hustles...
Since you intend applying again in Feb,
- Make steady inflow in and out of your intended account.
- Still use edubond (I guess you can leave the current one till then which will show your 'capability' to fund)
- write your statement of interest in simple way of; why you want to study, why the course, what you will do with the course when you get back to 9ja, how the course will assist your career (or business,) going forward.
- include (disclose) and explain how your circumstances has 'improve' from this refusal.
NB: you didn't tell us what this course is. However, if for instance it's Masters, you don't start staying you will stay back in Ireland to look around for doctorate. I say this because the VO keeps repeating ... type of visa is for limited duration .... So I guess your statement might not be clear on ... what's next after your current study that you're applying visa for. PS: ICaSNG might assist with guidance on this: like if going for Masters, to indicate if you'll be looking for doctorate post the masters in Ireland. My gut feeling is, it's red flag.

There are other things one can pick, but the above might be the 'deal breaker'
As regarding the I added more documents too, it appears the VO considered them in good faith and did not raise issues with most of them again.
To us all, I'll say, always provide essential documentations requested/needed. Do not focus on one area only, neglecting the others. Most times, focus is on balance of funds!!! Rather, focus should be on ALL on the checklist.

[update] I've noted ICaSNG reply to you. Kindly pay attention to it.

She also seems to allude to UG and not PG. If so, it makes the VO refusal more clearer. All the best in Feb.
