Please I need help

I'm going for Erasmus also. Though as a self-funding student. According to my mobility track which I selected based on my specialization, My tracks are as follows;

University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj Napoca, Romania. 1st semester
University of Kassel and Fulda University of Applied Sciences both in Germany. 2nd
ISARA-LYON, France. 3rd

The last semester is a internship/master thesis and they say it should be done in a country that I haven't studied before which automatically means Ghent University, Belgium or Arrhus University, Denmark. Though they have agreed to let me do it in either Germany or France.

I want to know if it's possible to get a stay in Belgium after spending the last semester there. Like maybe a year to get a job.

The lure of studying in one of Ughent or Arrhus is too much to bear. The 6th and 7th best in the world in my chosen subject.

Hi fikki! I need some info about the actual processing time for Belgium visa. The info I am getting is just confusing and I do not want to start something I cant finish. The comments on all Belgium visa thread I found on nairaland is not encouraging at all. Almost everyone kept stressing how long it takes to process the visa. On the downloaded visa checklist just like the one you pasted here its within 4-8 months whereas on vfs website it says 15 working days or 4 weeks. which one am I to go with? Have anyone on this forum actually gotten his/her visa within 4 weeks? Besides, how much should I budget to legalise all my documents? I would be going to lagos this week for medicals and police report before heading to Abuja for the legalisation. Thanks.

fikki1:

I was told at VFS dat it takes a month, n I referred dem to d checklist, but was told to ignore it, never d less, 3months to date of departure is when you can submit your application, I was told to wait till Sept cos I intend travelling Dec,
Legalisation....
Your educational cert must be legalised by MOE and MOFA before Embassy can accept it... All official doc must be legalised by MOFA before embassy will accept it for legalisation, embassy legalisation last time I checked was 4600 per page..
Any more info,lemme know if I can help

Hi fikki1! I did my medicals today at kamorass and would be going for the police report tomorrow. Would the embassy return the original medical report to me? My coordinator said I would need a copy of the medical report for registration in Belgium and that normally it should be returned to me.

namebdis4:
After your visa is issued,your original documents will be return to you.

CCsurplus007:

Dear all,

I had already given up on getting the visa until I saw this thread.

Please help me!!!!

Which ministry of education and foreign affairs did you go to ? Is it in Lagos or Abuja? What is the procedure at the ministry?

Is anyone using a sponsor or blocked funds?

I have a degree from a foreign country can the Nigerian ministry authenticate that or do I go to the embassy of that country first?

Thank you for helping me.

The process is so arduous awwnd confusing for me and all the more dissapointing because I dint get the full scholarship I was hoping for. I am going for an advanced masters Programme at KU Leuven.

@ diente you will need to legalize your Nigerian documents after certification from the MOE and MOFA at the Belgian embassy or consulate in Nigeria. For documents obtain in another country, you will need to legalize it at the Belgian embassy or consulate of that country. For sponsor, you can use a sponsorship letter (Annex 32) call in French "Enchargement De prise en charge" or you can use the block account system or KU Leuven showing u have transferred 631euro *12 Months to them. I think if you have don't have some of these documents you need to be fast because to get it is time consuming. Best of luck
