I foresee massive GOOD NEWS this week. At least, one tomorrow alone

You'll be asked at the embassy if there's any large deposit in your statement of account and the source

PHRANTAD:
I have an account with Skye bank, which indeed is my salary account, thats the account that i was talking about that i could have used but i dont want to go through the stress of looking for means of proving the funds that entered it at this point(loans, my monthly salaries, donations and savings from my business)

Do you have any other one at all?

PHRANTAD:
Thanks all d bosses( school drop out,emiflex, anniekoko, dahobestboss, hakeembee, et al) for your candid advices in the course of my app.
My Uncle that wants to sponsor me has all the documents needed for a business owner to sponsor his cousin using his company, he is ready and willing to give me all the originals(he has actually given me some on FRIDAY; business transactions for d last six months(invoices and receipts), sponsorship letter written by him using the company's' letter head paper, introduction letter from his bank, his statement of account for six months)
I just opened a new first bank account, because my other bank account is my salary account and there is no way i could get payslip to proof the funds entering into it, cus we are on strike in my state and moreso i am going for undergraduate studies.
What remains now is tax clearance certificate, balance sheet and profit and loss statement, and his CAC certificate of incorporation of the company,and he would give me all those tomorrow morning. I got admitted for undergraduate study at CENTRIA UAS.
Now my questions are these:
1.We dont bear the same surname, cus he is my maternal uncle, hope there would not be much ado about that at d embassy?

2. Hope this new account i opened would not raise any red flag?

3.Which of all the documents above would i upload in addition to my admission letter ?

4. I already started filling my application online but i stopped at d upload documents stage just to be sure

5. I am using d online application route, would i still send my documents by courier to the embassy two weeks before my interview date (July 12 is my interview date) If yes which documents would i send to the embassy .

I am sure of the following:

School certificate, result checker, passport photo(how do i get a photographer that would be able to get me d dimension on polisi website,47mm by 36mm passport), my intl passport, original admission letter from my sch, email sent by d embassy, ole opi app form, accompany email from d school dt sent admission letter.
What else my bosses?

1. Eno matter. You fit do affidavit too sha but not necessary. Just make sure he explains your relationship with him in his letter of sponsorship.

2. It shouldn't. Just ensure you get a cogent reason for using a new account. If you have any other account even with an unrecommended bank with little or no activities, you could add and explain you didn't make use of it cos it's not recommended.

3. You'll upload all the original documents you'll be sending to the embassy two weeks prior to your interview.

4. Okay. Good!

5. You can deduce from answer above. (3.). Yeah, you have to send all the original documents you'll be utilising two weeks upfront, even, if you're treading the online route.

6. Just the normal passport photograph with white background. Send three alongside your originals, albeit, one should be returned to you.

7. Lastly, include your filled ole_opi form and make two sets photocopies of all your documents. You'll have to take then along when going for your interview.

Don't hesitate to ask further questions.

Best of luck!

Cmanforall:
You might still get the chance to get that, since SCHOOLDROPOUT is not accepting it.
Check what their reason for rejecting you is. Get confirmation that SCHOOLDROPOUT is not taking that spot... You can move from there.

But try know their reason for rejection initially. You can mail them openly for this other option. (Do not mention names)

I don already accept Helsinki, i should reject others soon

sirkezman:
yea but then i dont think the embassy will say anything even if ur funds no reach, knowing fully well they wont be the one to make the decision.
Anyway i sent an email already. lets see if they reply.. hopefully the 1.6 will be enough

True tho. Na migri get final say. I hope they don't misbehave sha, as you've called their attention to it. Fingers crossed still

jkels:

weirdarkhitekt:
Great news. Is there anyway of booking accommodation with hoas before admission?

You have to be admitted to be able to apply for HOAS accommodation

olagold79:
The implication of this is quite brutal, I just checked now also. That means you'd need like 2million . It is well anyways.

I have another question tho, I understand some banks are accredited, while others are not for the purpose of RP...Please can anyone kindly tell me the accredited banks or a link where I can get the detailed info.

anniekoko:
Yep. I attached employment letter. Don't have payslips and I stated that in my explanation letter. Also attached previous employment contract and statements cos I have worked somewhere else before.

Okay. Nice one! Anything yet?

One euro now 295 naira (€1=295NGN). The implication of this is, 6,720 X 295= 1,982,400(~2m NGN) will now be required for RP.

Make una apply charpaly if you never apply. Things are changing dramatically!

weirdarkhitekt:
That's good to know. Hopefully, heading to Helsinki metropolia UAS,but the German uni handling admissions have not admitted yet. I hope they give me admission in time to get embassy appointment in early August (if possible)

Are jobs still possible to get in Helsinki without Finnish language?

Okay bro. Heading to Helsinki too. Part-time jobs shouldn't be so difficult to get as Helsinki is the capital

anniekoko:
They didn't ask o. I just forgot to upload it initially. Truth is, same account is also my salary account and savings. My salary is more than 97k. And its the same account my sponsor paid in the 1.5m. He did 1m first, then 500k.

Hope you submitted proof of source of the money in your salary account?

epsilonwaves:
pls doi need to upload my sponsors document on migri? very very urgent..pls reply now..

Sure! You have to upload all documents --aside the filled Ole_Opi form-- you'll be sending to the embassy.
And please, note! It's not on migri website but www.enterfinland.fi

anniekoko:
Hi guys after having said all, the 97k deposit by my mum has been explained in my letter of explanation and uploaded on the portal. My letter of explanation, having composed and sent along with my documents to abuja since may, i however forgot to upload it to the portal which i just did on saturday morning. Pls should should i have waited for them to ask me or somthing? Also, how long does it take for decision to be ready after its been on "in progress" ? its been there since friday

Did they request for supplementary documents before you sent the letter of explanation? You should get your deciosion today or tomorrow at the latest

weirdarkhitekt:
Hey guys,

I still need some clarifications on finances. If 1.55m in a naija bank account gets me RP. When I get to Suomi the only way to access it is via atm and online banking. Atm withdrawals is at the market rate which is predicted to be about 380 to 400, which we hope to settle to 300 soon. This effectively reduces the €6720 to less than €5000. Can one survive in Helsinki (where rents alone is almost €400) on about €400/mo.

Please I need some further explanations, I'm hoping it's my research that is lacking in some way

Well, as a naija guy, you should be able to, according to the veterans. You just have to find ways to cut cost. Are you headed for Uni Helsinki?

olagold79:
Honestly, I wouldn't advice anyone to study in Finland for that exorbitant amount...it is pointless. Trust me I know the place really well, I have been there a couple of times n I have peeps there a lot. You'd do well to go to Australia or Canada(Canada is by far the most advisable). You can get jobs, but it is not as easy as it used to be...but it is stll much possible. The major problem is the language barrier (they don't joke with their language even for cleaning jobs) and also EU economy is quite bad at the moment. Tampere, Turku , Helsinki are the best places to get a job...anywhere outside that is OYO. If anyone have that much money for Tuition....just go to Canada!!!!.And Finns speak very good english,so it is difficult to get English customer support job as you'd get in say for example Tallinn.

But if you are not paying tuition, that's cool...make as much money as you can n go to an anglo-phone country. The standard in Finland i recognised so you can easily get well funded PhD in Canada or elsewhere. Best of luck everyone.

On point! You no lie!
