This is the default page.

The VFS tracking number starts with IELG.

Give it another 3 weeks. although the only update you will see is most likely when your passport has been dispatched.

Bodyco05:


Boss, I am in Lagos and I want to apply for visa using self as sponsor with account balance of 3M.

Please, is this substantial enough?

How do I go about making the application?

Thanks in anticipation for your kind response

Personally you need 3m as PoF and not less than 5m if using a sponsor.

Cheers

Thanks. I have rectified it. Problem was from me. I’ve been typin IEL6 since instead of IELG. Thanks

Please who else on this group is going to Trinity College Dublin this September..

Hello

stumbled on this page and the info has been quite helpful. however I need a bit of help.

I applied to DBS for a September start. I have paid my fees in half from my savings. My dilemma is this, I plan using my uncle (Mothers brother) as my sponsor. Unfortunately, we do not have similar last names and I am unable to lay hold of any document having my mothers maiden name as I lost both my parents whilst still very young.

how do I prove the relationship between us, do I get him to move some funds into my account or what do I do.

I seem to be blank in this regard and would appreciate some advice from the experts in the room.

Thanks guys for the content shared on this thread. Really helpful.

Please I'll like to find out two things;

1. When traveling with a student visa, does one require a return ticket to get past the immigration desk in Ireland?

2. Is anyone here going to University of Limerick this September? If so, let's link up.

speak to your agent---your mum's brother should have same parent with your mum, they both will have birth certificate. if he's your guardian there should a document backing that up .

No you only need 1 way ticket.

Hello people, well done for the wonderful job being done here. May God bless all contributions.

Please I want your advice, opinion and directives.
I have been admitted to Dublin Business School to studh Msc data analytics. My IELTS results is also out and I av 6.5overall.

Please my question are
1. I have all the needed fund in my own account; the school fees plus other payment as living expenses but I'm not working anywhere as the funds were from my mothers property which has been under my control for the sake of further studies. I have the documents that shows that my mother has transferred the ownership of the property to me. I am the one receiving rent on all the property. That's how I get the money... I think I will be self sponsored? Please advice.
2. I heard that there is a bond platform where I can pay for the required 7000euro instead of going with POF. Can anyone recommend this to me. Maybe i should pay my school fees and also deposit the said 7000euro into the bond platform.. please what do you think


Please help me with your experience. I just wanna know the best way to put my application together and get this visa. Please!

Hello house, quick question
If someone has his complete fees but is unable to get a sponsor from family or extended family what’s the alternative?

Hello guys, I have been following this thread since November last year. Thanks to @IcasNg for creating this forum.
Is there anyone going to University College Dublin (UCD) this September? Lets connect.

Yemiiee:
Hello house, quick question

get eurobond.
simple or defer your offer till when you have the other required funds

Is edubond a preferred means of showing funds for living expenses than the use of bank statement

For someone using the education bond, would there still be need for a sponsor's Bank statement?

Thanos3000:


Send me a pm. We've got a group chat for UL

Thanks... I've sent you a pm. Please add me up.

ICaSNg:





No you only need 1 way ticket.

Thanks a lot. Great job here.

[quote author=ICaSNg post=79275128]


What’s the amount in euro for the education bond keeping in mind I’m going to Dublin, thank you.

[quote author=Yemiiee post=79286060][/quote]

Minimum of 7000 euros. you can add more but definitely should not be less than 7000.

Cheers

Hi all.

Been a while I dropped additional / updated information here:

1. For Irish study permit effective since !st of May, 2019 , you can apply 4 months before your program start date; This is to allow enough time to process an appeal if the need arises.

2. While most Universities and Colleges require Full Tuition payment before proceeding for visa application, the Embassy advises that if your Institution accepts a partial payment make sure you pay at least 80 percent of that amount before visa application - The reason for this is that those you paid partial fees for Last September i.e 2018, most international students still have not paid the balance of their tuition as at April. We tend to misuse opportunities, very soon Irish universities too will be like UK unis, once you don't pay your balance by January they will block your access to student portal- simple

3. For those interested in Data Analytics without computing background i.e degree, NCI now requires you to write an online test; however if you have professional qualifications in core IT / data related certifications you may get an offer from NCI . However, DBS is an alternative college or Griffith* My advise however is that do not jump on IT programs in Ireland because they have a better chance for work permit -stamp 1g, reason being you only have 12 to 18 months max to perform excellently well and you can't afford to gamble with over #4m on Tuition fees.
Thus, my suggestion is to choose a course you will comfortable excel in.

4. Tuition fees for DBS for 2019/2020 has already gone up by 500 to 1000 euros, likewise for Griffiths on most courses. Tuition for TUDublin and University of Limerick will definitely increase for 2020/2021 intakes.

5. Cork institute of tech will be merging with IT Tralee to become Munster University soon. CIT mostly accepts 2.1 students for masters program and automatically consider them for 25 % discount leaving their overall Tuition fee at 9000 euros.

6. IT Tralee and DKIT offers free accommodation for Undergraduate students only.
7. If you are above 23 years with only 0-level as your current qualification, I would not advise you apply to Ireland - if you however intend applying, you are required to pay your first year tuition in full and do an Education bond of 7,000 euros.



9. BSc Nursing programs is not available to International students only as a Top up program and that requires you to currently have a diploma in Nursing only * to apply for a top up BSc in Nursing.

10. Most Schools give scholarship discounts based on grade E.g NCI's overall Tuition is 14,500 euros - 1st class and 2.1 students automatically get 4,000 euros off; 2.2 get 2,000 euros off.

11. For people with a 3rd class degree , you can opt for a 2 -in-1 program i.e Higher diploma first and then masters or opt for a pre-masters and then proceed for a masters program.

12. DIFC is a foundation school offering pre-bachelors and pre-masters programs * note this does not come cheap ; but the good side to their services is they have partner universities in the UK, US, Australia, other parts of Europe where Tuition is as low as 4000 euros per year. Thus, after either a foundation or pre-masters you can proceed to any of these countries for further studies.

13. Just read this morning that CBN may float the naira * not sure how genuine this is , but if you are planning to study abroad next year, please open a dorm account and start saving up. Rates may come down however , we may land back to how things were in 2015 when £1 was #600- we pray this does not happen .

14. If you applied directly to your university and did not use an agent especially for schools like Griffith , you should send your visa application reference so they can follow up with the embassy on your behalf.
If TUdublin, they send you a link to fill your visa application details after submission at the vfs office.

If there is any additional update, I'll drop it whenever am less busy* kindly bear in mind this is peak period for visa application, I won't be able to provide answers to all questions I get tagged on but will definitely respond when available.

Good luck !!!
