After uploading your documents and making remital payment and getting email sent to MOE for the verification of your documents, you will then come for physical verification of your original certificate after which the verification, it would be approved and drop to your email, which you can download and print for authentication. But if you don't come for physical verification it would not be approved, except you sort for it to be approved without you coming for physical verification.

Muelebrown:
So based on this, can one pay school fees now hoping that they will shortlist for appointment booking now?

Layohrt:
Thank you for the feedback.

Just to confirm, please Is it the original copy I took with me that would be approved or the one my school sent to them, I just want to know because my original certificate is laminated, made a mistake laminating in years back.

freedomtours:
Good morning all and congratulations to those that made the list.
Please Note: for the information in the embassy platform form regarding PCC, what i means that you will have to do your PCC (Police Character) authenticate at MOFA then submit it with your application, embassy will then legalize you it for you.
Do not go an print you Police Character and add it in your application without getting it legalize at MOFA (foreign affairs).

I made the list but I'm still trying to sort my POF.
What will happen if I miss the deadline?
Can I still request for a new appointment date?

freedomtours:
It may be very difficult to get another appointment, it was also stated there.
If you can you still have like 2 weeks to arrange yourself.

yusman14:
Alright thanks.
I would be spending 6 months in Portugal for my first semester.
How many months POF do I need to show at the Portuguese embassy?

freedomtours:
You need to show you have enough funds that will sustain you in Portugal 🇵🇹 throughout the duration of your study. You shd be having 25m and above and also add other property documents like land, building, investment certificates, if u are married, marriage certificate, these help to justify you have strong ties to your home country.

yusman14:
I got a full tuition and travel insurance scholarship. I think 25m is too much for 6 months. Cost of living isn't that high in Portugal

mysticlover:
I think 10 to 12 million should suffice. Cost of living can vary but if you budget 800 euros per month times your 6 months stay, that should suffice.

Evanderbright:
How can one check for their names in the list ?

freedomtours:
Okay you didn't tell me you have scholarship.
12m is still okay because you are expected to have more than what will cover your expenses.

[quote author: good morning guys,do anyone have an idea when the next list for appointment date will be posted again?after this 313 names that just came out?

freedomtours:
I told you that ministry of education will sight ur original certificate, authentication will be done on the scanned copy you uploaded, you will print it out and authenticate at foreign affairs.

Layohrt:
Good evening,

Please I have done the upload and made payments since on the 16th of June and till date I have not received any acknowledgement of payment nor proof of application submission.

Please is that how it's suppose to be?, is anyone experiencing this?.
If you are in Abuja, go to the place.
I live in Lagos and used agent. I didn't even tell my school to send verification and transcript to MoE. I got it done within 3 days. Money can work for you, this proper process will waste your time, they won't attend to you, unless you go there.
