greetings to all. It is with thanks to God and appreciation to you all, that I wish to inform you guys that I got my visa two days ago. thanks to all gurus in the house for information and experiences shared which helped me thus far. Preparing to enter Siena by next week. I wish all of us good luck and God's blessings in all our endeavors. Cheers!

is visa application still open now? and is it a problem applying with a passport with ten months validity? was anyone given visa of less than one year? I need advise please.

can a close relation transfer the money into the applicant's account and then write a letter stating that the money has long been saved and reserved for the applicant's education abroad.

if this is the case, will they make any kind of inquiry or investigation to know if the money is still in the bank account, as to ascertain that it will remain there for that purpose?

was it your personal account, your parent's or just any of your close relation's with same surname?

greetings guys!
A friend of mine is asking if it is possible and advisable to apply for visa with multiple statements of account with their accompanying sponsorship letters. is it a good idea or not? anyone with any suggestion?

okay sir, thanks. that is to say that the embassy accepts that, I mean just one night in the hotel.

how many days can one book for in a hotel that will be acceptable? also, must the hotel be located in the city where one is going?

Greetings to everyone in the house.
Concerning the flight itinerary, has anyone noticed that the returning date does not get to even one year, talk more of two years or three. it's just something like 10-11months from the time of departure. now my question is: does it not constitute a problem if the dates do not tally with the number of years one wishes to spend in Italy for studies? what exactly do they need to see in the itinerary? I need a little clarification on this.

smithsydny:
no sir not needed..

ok. thanks!

Ok. Is there anywhere that tax clearance certificate is needed in this whole visa stuff?

If the visa form is fillable online, what about the signature? how can that be done?

scolefield:

Nawa oo. Renewing a passport that still has 1year validity? that's unusual. six months validity is what's always required. why would they reject one of a whole 1year.

First degree and Doctorate degree programmes are usually more than two years, but masters is two years. that's all I know.
Does anyone think it's gonna be an issue having a passport with one year validity?

fOFT:


Nice one
I had similar issue in 2014.(mine was 9 months to expiration)
Andrea told me categorically to get a new passport which is very rare for an entry clearance officer to tell applicant. I can say I was fortunate.
The only place you can do that is Immigration HQ, Sauka Village Abuja. It is very close to the Airport.
Bro, if i were you, I wouldn't wait until that time.
Your people are waiting for you to milk you at the HQ. I spent 50k to get a new one while the old one was cancelled.
However, I met two guys that day and paid 150k.
I wish you all the best.

Very funny. This is what I just found again. I just wanted to confirm my suspicions. I've been reloading this page since 4:00pm today. the last time I reloaded was around 9:34pm, and 16 was still blank. then I reloaded again @9:40pm and found 16 fully booked. lol. what magic happened in 6mins? this question is for the embassy though. I've now confirmed that they have a hand in what's happening on this appointment booking page. I thought the whole thing had progression and stages: from All available to medium available, then to No place for this day. But it just happened very swiftly and unprecedentedly as I observed. what do you guys think we should do?

Is there any need for flight itinerary? If there is, which airline is better?
About the hotel reservation, like how many days is one advised to book? does it perfectly serve the purpose of provisional accommodation as a requirement for the visa application?

dejiconde:
I will advice u apply thru d vfs office in lekki

how can I do that? what are the steps and procedures? is it easier in lekki than in VI?

they're at it again. this is what I just discovered... maybe we need to call this embassy and ask them what's going on. we can't continue staying awake, while some people who call themselves agents are doing this rubbish. I am beginning to think that the embassy has a hand in this.
I suggest we call and disturb them about this, and see if they'll do something.

jonaschinagorom:
Someome pls ans me , when is deadline for legalization and pre enrollment

Legalization has no deadline. But pre enrollment has been set by the embassy to end in two days time (7th of July). No one knows if they will extend it.

According to my researches, one needs to have a valid passport whose expiry date is three months longer than that of the visa requested. Is this just a written requirement or do they work according to it? my passport d expire August next year oo, and I'm going for a two year master's program. is it not a problem? any idea from anyone?

@kidakuddiez] you could work with any of those agents. with small money, they will arrange that little issue.
