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?

ooouuuiii:
I got mine within a week. So it shouldn't be more than that depending on the day you requested for the withdrawal. If you're in Abuja, you'll get it faster.

Just ensure that you follow up the withdrawal email with a phone call to ensure they've seen your email and that they have or they will action it ASAP.

For those who have been waiting for more than 12 weeks after their application docs got to Abuja, sincerely I would advise you consider withdrawing your application so that you'll have a clean record without visa denial.

However, if your school is still able to accept you and there's still time, then ensure that no week passes by without you calling them to know the status of your application, letting them know it's more than 12 weeks and that you need a decision so that you can get on with your travel plans. But if they ask you for a document/documents that you can't provide, sharply withdraw your application before you're denied.

Don't waste time. Count your losses, wipe your tears and look at other options for 2026. This is admission and scholarship season o. Don't waste it.

Thank you, they even sent me a mail which says:

Dear Applicant,





As the date for the start of your 2025 studies have passed, we now require clarification of your study plans at this time.







If you have deferred the start date of your studies until January/February 2026, please forward the deferral letter from the College within 5 working days showing the new start date of your January/February studies.


Or



(i) If your college will still accept you to your course of studies this semester, please forward a letter from college stating final date for your attendance to the course in the State.


Or



(ii) If you want to withdraw your study visa application at this time, please reply within 5 working days to this email.



And



(iii) If you also decide to defer your studies until September 2026, please note that you must submit a new application next year, at least 12 weeks prior to your intended departure date.





FAILURE TO REPLY WITHIN 5 WORKING DAYS WITH YOUR UPDATED INSTRUCTION WILL LEAD TO A DECISION BEING ISSUED ON THE DETAILS OF YOUR APPLICATION ON HAND.

So in this case, the third option is the one that suits me that is I have to withdraw
Will they refund me my visa application fee?

Ayo112:
Why don’t you email the school and get a deferral letter cause this is looking promising to me instead of withdrawing the application

Shally233:
I already have a deferral letter from school for the next intake which is September, 2026, so I just have to send the letter to them and withdraw

iyemizee:
Yes, i submitted my appeal on 12th August and haven’t received any decision yet
