I cant imagine the influx of applications they had this year.

It is a total mess. They have terrible systems.......

At the same time i think its a ploy to reduce the amount of people migrating to the country.

Yh, I think they are gradually fading out the appeal process too cause who’s going to wait for 6months when normal application is like 12weeks maximum. I have an appeal with the. Since September and don’t even know what to do and I need my passport at the same time to start looking at other places

Influx of application regardless.
The UK stilll processes more application than ireland and does not take more than 15 working days.
it's their processes and the people within the process.

That's very bad and they are wasting a lot of people time.... It's just crazy

Saw someone on here who hasn't gotten any feedback since early August for study visa ooo

It’s tiring …..I just feel like withdrawing…..I submitted since August 14th ….more than 12weeks and the Embassy is saying my application is in queue for processing even after 12weeks …for a study visa …

Is this appeal?

Omo, it’s crazy o.
What will those of us waiting for appeal now do??

It is just unfair and poor by the embassy. Genuinely due to lack of transparency its even hard to trust the process.

An appeal is not an entirely new submission. I suppose an appeal should require fewer documents but understandably more scrutiny

My concern with the process is this: why refuse an application immediately due to incomplete documentation in most cases, especially when the missing information is something that can be clarified or provided easily?

Would it not be more efficient to have a portal or link to a portal where applicants can upload missing documents or provide explanations before a final decision is made? This would save time for both the applicant and the embassy and would reduce the number of refused applications.

Not to justify their rubbish, they handle four countries visa processing and I think that will be a lot cause I can’t imagine what Nigeria number alone will be then adding 3 other African countries plus the Ireland embassy are probably lazy and short staffed

They share their embassy building with Netherland and netherland sometimes handles interviews daily while

Exactly why the process should be better..

I submitted at vfs on the 22nd of September 2025 and my documents got to the embassy on September 24th 2025

Okay. I submitted my initial application June 17 at vfs Abuja and I got their decision on August 18th(denied). DHL my appeal package on the 21st of September from ikorodu and it got to Abuja on the 22nd. What I just know how is the stuff is taking longer and we need those who said they applied August to say something if they've gotten a response pls.

My visa was denied cause I forgot to add the financial summary sheet 😭😭 which was a costly one on my part and some other foolish reasons known to them, so I updated my statement of account, deferred my admission to January (DBS), added the deferred admission letter,added more documents, addressed their refusal points and sent my package and all I have to do is wait. Na that waiting gangan dey mess with pesin and now it's suppose to take longer.... It is well

Yes and also get them to bond you (you will work with them for xx number of years after study). It’s a strong tie to return home and increases your chances of getting visa approved .

Hi Everyone,

I hope we are all doing well.

Could anyone please share how long it usually takes to receive your passport back after withdrawing a study visa application?

Rennyyyy:
Co-asking please.
Submitted my appeal since early September. They acknowledged receipt 12th September and I'm still waiting till now

Pls is there anyone who submitted normal application(study) and appeal in august that have gotten a decision… pls we really need to know ejoor🙏🙏
