My agent shared this with me, hope it helps




One of our irish University partners shared the below with us. "I was on a call yesterday with Visa manager, Enterprise ireland and all the colleges and universities in Ireland.

Statistics from the EI office and consultants in Ghana showed a worrying increase in coronavirus cases in Nigeria and Ghana so please stay safe, follow protocol and hope we all make it out the other side.

Visa manager David O’Rourke said plan is for VFS to open on Monday 22nd June

Documents will be processed at VFS as usual, then sent to Embassy in Abuja where a colour photocopy of all documents will be taken and couriered to Dublin to be reviewed by the 3 ladies that went back to Dublin from Visa office when coronavirus broke out. These 3 ladies will be reviewing Study Visa applications from Nigeria and Ghana only. Only Study Visa's will be processed. No other visa's will be looked at. Study Visa's have full priority and will have extra people resources. They said that 8 weeks is the processing time and it shouldnt go beyond this.

I asked about Appeals from Jan 2020 and they said they had about 120 appeals that they will start getting back to people next week. However he said that people wont get Visa stickers in passports until Nigeria has been put on approved list of countries that can arrive into Ireland.

However he will process Visa applications and students will be told whether their visa application has been successful or not. Then once travel is confirmed and open, Visa stickers will be issued in passports back to students.

That’s the generalist gist of what was said yesterday on the call.

There were some other questions about whether allowances be made because of currency devaluation and so sponsors accounts may not now show required sums. There is no change to Visa - sponsors would now need to show €10,000 for living expenses for students year of study.

Also questions about students paying in instalments of €6000 then payment plan. They said that even if a college allows this, the sponsor at point of Visa application still needs to be able to show the full tuition fees and living expenses regardless how they are allowed pay it by the college. (NOT THAT MOST SCHOOLS REQUIRE FULL PAYMENT – THIS HASN’T CHANGED)

EI in Lagos noted that there is about a $7 billion backlog on foreign currency in Nigeria and its very difficult to get Foreign currency at the moment with people having to resort to the blackmarket for a reasonable rate

Ghana consultant also noted that the foreign currency in Ghana was a major problem"

I hope this helps.

This message came from Michael @ NCI.

Its worthwhile to clarify that , a student is the one required to show access to 7000 euro as proof of funds, however it seems logical that if you are being sponsored, your sponsor should have money left for themselves asides the 7000 assigned to you.

I hope everyone is clear about the 10000 euro now.

All the best

please I recently just collected my waec certificate( last year December) and I discovered there is an error on the date of birth, I complained to them and they said it cannot be corrected that the only thing I can do is keep using the age on the certificate or get a federal high court affidavit and attach it to my result. Now my question is would my certificate along with the affidavit be accepted abroad and at the embassy?
