But why would the Polish Embassy require applicants to read Maps Are they trying to know if you want to use Poland as an entry point to elope in Europe cos for me I feel it is just a test? So perhaps if you are able to place the countries correctly then this might imply that you have intentions of eloping from Poland cos you've studied the routes and as such you know where and where to follow to get to maybe Germany or France etc....

If this is the WP your agent shared with you then you have all the information you require to make a preliminary investigation on the permit via the eKonsulat portal

The South Korea International Cooperation Association in Nigeria (SKICAN) is an association established in 2012. Members of the Association are individuals who have over time actively participated in KOICA-sponsored capacity building programs in Korea. The main objective of the Association is to enhance the Economic and Cultural Cooperation exchanges between Nigeria and Korea and to foster the exchange of experiences, ideas, and knowledge between KOICA Alumni members.

The choice for this year’s CSR activities is largely aimed at complimenting ongoing KOICA interventions within the community. Currently, KOICA is providing funds of up to Twenty Thousand US Dollars ($20,000) for a period of 4 months (August - November 2021) to support the delivery of free health care services to rural community dwellers within and around Afua Community, through an established partnership with Joseph Ukpo Hospitals and Research Institutes (JUHRI), located within the community.
To further support Afua community and JUHRI, a total of 120 beneficiaries were provided with various household hygiene items per household while 100 school bags and 400 notebooks and stationaries were distributed to 100 school children to further fill gaps in their school resumption needs. The donated Hygiene items included sets of tooth brushes, mosquito spray repellants, body cream, tooth pastes, bathing soaps, disinfectants, detergents and laundry soaps. Additionally, 20 packs of face masks and 3 packs of hand sanitizers were donated to JUHRI to support COVID-19 prevention measures.

Speaking at the event, the President, South Korea International Cooperation Association in Nigeria (SKICAN), Mr. Rabiu S.K Adamu informed that the CSR activity was a way to give back to communities made vulnerable due to the impact of the COVID-19. He added that the CSR Activity will go further in solidifying the intervention supported by the Korean Government through KOICA in Afua Community.
In his brief remarks, the KOICA Country Director, Mr. Woochan Chang acknowledged the numerous needs of the community while expressing optimism that the donated items would further contribute to the improvement of the socio-economic, educational and health condition of the beneficiaries.
As a vote of thanks, a representative of the beneficiaries, Emem Bassey Nkukut expressed her joy for the KOICA and SKICAN’s intervention to rural community dwellers, adding that the donated items will be impactful to the lives of beneficiaries. She also urged for more support for the community.

But hold on! Why cant the Embassy make this booking visa appointment easy if truly they are fighting against racketeering, which was the order of the day during the online booking system era.

So Step1: Pay your Visa Fee into a Euro Domiciliary Account at a designated bank ( at least this will save them the stress of re-depositing cash collected at the Embassy every now and then)

Step 2: Applicants who have made payments will then be required to forward transaction receipt ID to the Embassy through an Embassy Designated Date

Step 3: Embassy respond with the closest date based on the appointment booking calendar ( no matter how long), after confirmation of payment (which may take between 1-2 working days)

Step 4: Applicant make a submission based on the scheduled date and guess what..... EVERYBODY smiles afterwards!!!

Is it that HARD ? NO! Then why would the Poland Embassy switch on the line by 9 am and switch off by 9.30 am for a process that is done ONLY once a WEEK!!!!!!
