You can decide to look for admission before legalizing or do it the other way round,... Both ways work,..

So firstly gather all documents that is required by the school then also gather all the documents that is required by the embassy;
- birth certificate,
- declaration of age,
- letter/Affidavit of sponsorship (if you're being sponsored),
- police character certificate,
- state of origin certificate,
- primary/secondary school certificate,
- testimonials,
- transcript,
- all school cert.

Firstly take all your educational documents to the ministry of education, (WAEC, transcript, primary school cert. All school certificates,.. Then at the entrance of the ministry of education purchase a waec scratch card,.. Take everything to the eight floor of the building....(to cut the description short, you can ask around for help on what to do),... P.S Remember to request for an eligibility letter(its not always necessary)

Proceeding to the next step which is taking all your educational documents that you have previously authenticated at the min. Of edu. And all the remaining required documents, to the min. Of foreign affairs,... Then authenticate Them also,..

After authentication, take all those documents to the embassy,.. Before then, you must have previously downloaded their verification form(Questionnaire) online, then fill it and take it with you to the embassy. P.S: you'd book an appointment online using their online booking system before heading to the embassy on the date giving to you.

After you arrive at the embassy, follow all their procedures and get to the counter, submit all your documents and pay the verification fee,.. Which was 200,000 as at the time of writing,...

After that, wait for a lawyer to contact you,.. (it may take up to three months maximum,) P.S: the further away the origin of your documents are, the longer the verification time.

After the lawyer contacts you, and does interview for you and your parent/guardian, he will go to each and every one of the locations where all your documents were gotten from to verify them, even to the lowest detail(so all documentation must be authentic and gotten legally: because it can delay the process and cause you to pay another 200,000....

After the lawyer is done with the verification, he will take he's report to the embassy and inform them, then they will call you and tell you the particular documents they have issues with, but if not they'll set a date for you to come and legalize them,.. P.S: Even if there's an issue with any of your documents you can still legalize the remaining ones..

After you've gone to the embassy and paid their legalization fees, which was 80 Euros as at the time of writing, they would either tell you to wait for it that day or come back the next day for it..

After you're done with the whole thing,.. You will send your legalized documents to the school you applied to, or is planning on applying to... in any ways they request it(Email/post-mail),.. Then they will send you the admission letter.

You'd take the letter and your proof of accommodation, also get insurance from the recommended insurance firms,... And also take all your documents plus a fully filled residency form to the embassy,... Having booked a date with the embassy using email not their online booking system,....

Follow all the normal procedures again, when you get to the embassy, Submit all your documents to the counter,.. Follow all their instructions,.. Take your finger print and the screening and either you're told to wait for an interview or given another date...

After the interview wait for the embassy to contact you,.. P.S: (it might take up to a month), You can also contact them to ask for the status of the application,.. i.e: if its taken longer than expected.

They will contact you via email,.. For the approval status,.. And tell you to come to the embassy to collect your documents.

After you've gotten your documents back from them,.. You can begin planning your trip..

When you get to Austria you'd have to go and get your resident permit card,..


Goodluck.

Do one do this only once even if couldn't complete admission process that year then do it other years. Have to do this again?

Emmanuelosa:


I didn't quite get the question very well,...but I'll try explaining what I think it might be.

The admission process is different from the one at the embassy,...you can do them at a different time interval,...but you cannot apply for a resident permit if you don't possess an admission letter,...

So, you can choose to verify, then legalize before applying for the admission or you can do it the other way around, (but just to be on the safer side, it's more advisable to apply for the admission first, before going through with the legalization)

Also concerning the time interval,..you can legalize your documents this year, and still use it the next year, it's a matter of choice,...

dayohoo:
I applied without legalisation...Was told to do legalisation but due the embassy closure...I was told to send original certificate and transcript.

You need admission letter to apply for visa...so if the school give you that....nothing embassy can do..

University of Graz...It is a joint program though..one year in Austria...one year in Germany

Prodigee:
Can a school waive the documents legalization/authentication requirement? I thought this was only the Embassy's prerogative.

Emmanuelosa please can you clarify.

GermanyChaser:


Bro is it possible to do all these before the resumption of the school in Austria? What if the time elapses? Are we still going to go with this same process when next we apply for admission next year?

dayohoo:

Emmanuelosa:


Yes, depends on a lot of factors, and also you'd have to reapply once you are shifting your admission to the next year, but won't go through the same hassle of test and interview.

dayohoo:
Admission closed since January....

University of Graz

You don't need legislation before admission...

After admission is when you will be asked to submit legalised documents and original certificate.

God came in for me when I was waived the legalisation again after admission..

Just to send my original transcript and certificate via DHL..

You don't need legalized certificate for resident permit..All you need is admission letter..

Once they get my original certificate as well as transcript..they will send the admission letter..

Emmanuelosa:

GermanyChaser:


So basically You are saying I can actually apply for admission without going through those verification process (which I have done the previous year) if the admission given to me elapses right?

GermanyChaser:


And please bro can you highlight some of those factors for me?

You don't need legalized certificate for resident permit.
