Study

Ayo112:
Did you reapply. I emailed you once and I know you withdrew the appeal but did you reapply??

Ayo112:
Your agent lied o, I used study and protect for my medical insurance and when my visa was refused, I personally emailed them that it was refused and I had to defer my application and if it’s possible for them to help move the starting date and they did.

iyemizee:
To make matters worse, I was charged 200€ for the same study and protect. I sent an email to the insurance company that I wanted to move the date and they told me the policy was canceled due to my visa refusal. How did they even know my visa was refused if not that the agent did. I asked them who canceled and when. They told me I will need to contact my agent for that. lol

Hi everyone,
I’ve been contemplating whether I should withdraw the appeal I submitted about two weeks ago. I submitted through the new process where documents are scanned and uploaded at VFS, which I understand started around December 2025. After coming here and seeing many people advise against appealing after submission, I honestly felt a bit discouraged and sad. So I wanted to ask if anyone here has submitted an appeal this year using this new process. If you have, please let me know how long you’ve been waiting so far and how the process has been for you. Also, I’ve seen people mention a Police Character Certificate. Is it compulsory or necessary for reapplication? I’m trying to plan properly in case I decide to reapply. I’d really appreciate any recent experiences or advice. Thank you.

I am asking because that's what I used and I got mine approved. a lot of documents were attached sha aside the attestation of birth, joining in September

Ayo112:
I appealed but not through this new process since October and no response yet. My advice is for you to withdraw the appeal and submit a new application and pls submit it with the police character stuff and accommodation invoice from booking.com… it is very important!

Jamolodeen:
Do you know how long it takes them to withdraw an application? Like if I send a mail today when is the earliest they’d act on it.

Jamolodeen:
Please how can I get this police character thing? Must it be police station? Also, this accommodation invoice I’d have to pay before I get the invoice or just by booking without paying?

I resubmitted the same application from last year. The previous rejection cited three reasons: missing transcripts for all academic qualifications, no explanation for choosing Ireland as the preferred study destination, and unaddressed gaps between my last period of education and current employment. All of these were valid concerns, and every single one was fully addressed in the new application. It was still rejected and this time with entirely new reasons.

There is nothing more demoralising than doing exactly what was asked, fixing every flagged issue, and then watching them move the goalposts. It feels deliberately designed to wear you down. But that's precisely why we cannot give in.

The police stuff is online, you pay and you go for capturing and get it that same day sha. Withdrawing appeal takes around 3days and maybe a week to get your documents back if you’re not in Abuja. You said all the documents for your appeal were scanned and uploaded, does that mean they gave you back does documents or what??

Ayo112:
You are not paying on booking.com, you will just book it but you will have to input your card details and you can cancel anytime… get any accommodations maybe for a month or two that your proof of funds will cover, something cheap
