I used access bank, but you've to get dollars yourself ( I used USD cause its easier to get). I got USD from Bdc operator at good rate, then he sent it to my dollar account. then i went to Access bank to use their foreign currency transfer, on the form i wrote the payment in euros. If you do this in the morning, the payment will dropped before 2pm or next day, it depends if they got approval on time.


Kenet1900:
Quick question guys, has anyone recently paid Irish university tuition from Nigeria using Form A, especially through Flywire? Which bank did you use, did you pay Flywire in EUR or USD, and how long did the whole process take? I’m looking at a €10k tuition payment and Form A could save me more compared to paying directly in naira, so I’d really like to hear from anyone who has done it recently.

Hello everyone, sorry to move you to a slightly different direction.

Please if anyone here has successfully collected a refund from study and protect, please which payment platform did you use to go about it. They have stated that my Nigerian bank details won’t work.

Please, how do people usually pay the Irish Education Bond through TransferMate from Nigeria? Can I pay directly from a Nigerian EUR/USD domiciliary account, or is NGN bank transfer the only option? Has anyone successfully used a domiciliary account?

Calling or mailing would achieve nothing as you would receive a generic response that are in the queue for processing.

Best to wait and see

Re: Ireland Study Visa thread,General Life Experience of Nigerians Living in Ireland by MemeOg: 10:23am On Aug 20
Hi everyone. Sending a direct message because I can’t respond separately to different people.

I applied in May. I think embassy received it on the 11th of May. They sent me an email notifying me of their decision on the 3rd of July.

The reasons were a lot mhen.
They said lump sum was not explained in the proof of funds. So the proof of funds has been in the account for a more than a year, I printed out the six months statement, I didn’t think I needed to explain the money that had already been there more than a year before (this is what I think they meant be no explanation of lump sum).
They said they couldn’t verify the birth certificate of I and my brother (sponsor), which I think is ridiculous because it’s literally from the national population commission. They said the year of issue is years after the date of birth which is normal as the certificate was not gotten when either of us were born. So I’d advise anyone applying to use the birth attestation certificate instead. It more like an affidavit. Maybe it’s more believable. Just my thoughts anyway. They also said the documents is of poor quality. I submitted photo copies which they requested. Anyway, my friend said when she did her’s the submitted both photo copies and originals because they are really big on documentation. They returned her original copies when they delivered her passport. She’s been in Ireland since 2022, so it’s not a new application.
Then they said I didn’t establish enough home ties.
Finally, the only one I take responsibility for, my brother’s signature on his passport was different from the one on the financial summary form. They flagged that too.
Oh they said I didn’t explain gaps in 2023. I was in law school. It was on my CV and on the application form online. So I would advise you create a document and explain any year that you were not working, even if it’s on your CV. They like plenty things. Give them more than plenty.

I just dug back into trauma to type all these 😂 I hope it helps somebody.

so sorry about this. Try to submit a new application with those weaknesses corrected. Please did you pay your full tuition before applying?

I would have but when the decision came, I didn’t want to risk not getting a decision before school resumes. I was there last year, because I applied late, I didn’t get a decision before resumption so I deferred it to this year. With the way their waiting period is, I decided not to reapply.
And yes, I had paid full tuition.

My anxiety has just increased, and it's like I will just have to remove my mind from it and wait for any outcome because it's NPC attestation certificates I used for both me and my brother.

But on the proof of funds, was it sitting inside your account or your sponsor's account?

This sentence touched me really because when I saw the write up, I was like this is a pain no one wants to experience.

The attestation certificate is fine. I used the birth certificate one.
It’s a joint account between I and my sponsor. In my sponsor’s letter he explained that he opened the account jointly with me to give me access to the funds.
Please don’t be anxious, I know it’s not easy. Instead of anxiety, just start thanking God for granting you your visa. I wish you all the best.
