Congratulations, when did you submit your application

Askboutme:
You don't need to risk buying an actual ticket for your visa application. The embassies just want to see a valid flight schedule and itinerary to confirm your travel timeline. Just make sure whatever reservation you use has a live, active PNR code because some embassies do double-check them directly on the airline's website. You can generate an authentic flight reservation, embassy accepted or hotel booking instantly at https://travelproof.ng. They are fast, reliable, and saves you from the stress of losing money if your processing delays or visas deny. I got my visa approved!

Good luck with your application guys!

Hmmn, it is well

Olulana06:
Observed that too

22nd to 28th June

The decisions are still not looking good except that of 29 June - 05th

Trust22:
Submitted to VFS on May 4th

And the person got denied on July 3rd, that's approximately 8 weeks, but why are they not uploading any list on their website?

Shally233:
Like, you got a message from VFS on the 4th of July that your visa is now under processing?

I meant 4th of May?
That's too far then

Ayiri55:
Since it was received
It was received on the 4th of May

Like, you got a message from VFS on the 4th of July that your visa is now under processing?

Olulana06:
Hello! When does Ireland Abuja Post weekly decision on their website. The last date I saw was June 22…. Which is over two weeks

Yeah, they haven't uploaded it yet

CloudMike:
Did you submit at VFS Lagos or VFS Abuja? I think 3+ weeks to receive the first processing notification is long.

Very very long o, i submitted at VFS Lagos

Edaj:
How do you know they have approve your application from your isd account

I don't think they indicate it there, the last stage is usually "Application complete"

MemeOg:
Hi everyone. Just wanted to get your opinions. Do you think it’s still a good time to reapply after a refusal. I’m concerned about them not giving a decision before resumption.

Please just apply for next intake Instead, I submitted third week in June and I just got message today that it's under processing

Ayiri55:
Vfs submission: April 28
Embassy received May 4th.

Wow, eh God abeg

Ayiri55:

Amovingman:
Be careful of that scammer that just quote you oootell the person to quote you on nairaland first to confirm if he/she is the real person

Lol, I'm not a scammer, we actually met in VfS and I've texted him

helpingnow:
Thank you for your advice and views. am i to attach evidence of finances, bank statements or any financial documents during my application for admission to Ireland for Masters?

Yes ooo, there is actually a checklist

Jamolodeen:
Please the lady we met today at VFS please you collected my number and you said you’d reach out kindly reach out please. 🙏

Okayyy, I will

helpingnow:
Thank you. given that i will be sending an application in this week. when do you think I will get response of the decision/ outcome.
It seems Scieneces / medical fields rarely admit for January.

Hello, you mean you haven't gotten an admission letter right?
Just find a school that has January intake because this is the visa application peak period and it might take time before the school respond to you...so to avoid delay in visa decision and school resumption before visa is out, just apply for the next intake... I'm telling you this from experience
And also, those that are trying to book appointment with Lagos VFS, just abort mission because all the dates have been booked, so don't waste your time trying to find a date soon, just book an appointment with Abuja VFS instead and I also heard there is a VFS centre at Port Harcourt too...Lastly, I would not advise anyone going for September intake to apply for visa in July because that's already too late

Nanfiasco:
I just discovered this thread and recently, there have been no positive responses. Demoralizing to say the least . I submitted my application on the 12th of May and I'm just being hopeful like everyone else here. September intake and using a sponsor. I can say I submitted every document y'all have mentioned. All I can say is "OMO!!!!"........ We shouldn't lose hope o. Things will work out eventually. Nobody ever said it was going to easy.... Please steer me towards any online groups or communities for people with our shared goals? Make person join dey get information abeg..

Just be optimistic, everything is going to be alright...I don't think there is any group but this thread will be more active around June, July and August since it's like the peak period close to resumption and awaiting visa decision

Jandminded:
Please how did you pay for your tuition?

I'm using UBA MasterCard to pay via the school provided portal but it's declining.

"Payment declined.Verbal authorization is required. Please contact your card issuer."

Well, it depends on the means of payment the school wants...I actually used Transfermate and I'm sure most of us here, if not all, also used Transfermate...You can try paying through apps like Pay4me

Chynwa1993:
Greetings all,
Please is there anyone waiting for visa decision for September to DBS ?
Secondly, is proof of accomodation booking compulsory for visa application ?

Proof of accomodation is not compulsory

Isaako20021:
I want to ask if there's any Whatsapp group for Ireland study.
I also want to find out the requirements for study visa in Ireland

I think you should calm down for now o, the refusal rates is high now, especially for Nigerians

Shally233:
Let me send you a mail

Please reply to the mail

Ayo112:
Anyone that has legit link for pof for existing bank that is not crazily expensive should pls connect me

Abeg🙏🙏🙏

Let me send you a mail

Ayo112:
DO NOT APPEAL

This is so unfair o

completed:
the only ones I could remember is my parents marriage certificate and a sponsorship letter signed by my sponsor and lots more. just look for a good Ireland college agent to handle it for you. sponsorship from family members is more complex compared to self sponsorship

Congratulations, please when did you apply?
I'm also going for September intake, and I applied last month

Shally233:
You can ask for a refund, just send a mail to the insurance company and they will refund the money to the same account you used in paying, I deferred my admission last year, and they refunded the insurance fee....I also have a question, do they check POF these days?

Or rather, do they check POF for everyone
Their matter don even tire m especially with all I've been hearing...is there anyone who is also applying for September Intake?

iyemizee:
If you’re considering appeal, please change your mind because your documents will stay longer with them without getting a decision. You’ll eventually be forced to withdraw the application. Same thing happened to me plus the refusal rates are even higher.
The craziest part is that I tried reapplying and my agent told me I have to pay for another insurance of 200€. lol. Bruh, i didn’t even get the visa talk more of using the insurance. Everything about Ireland is just ridiculous

Ayo112:
They do not make sense at all, most of the reasons doesn’t. How other way do you want me to proof link to sponsor(my elder brother) after submitting his birth certificate, pictures of us since we were child to now, an affidavit kind of documents including both our parent’s signature confirmating we are sibling and all the documents were notarized.

Stupid reasons, they calm you didn’t submit documents are you obviously submitted…. The whole thing is just crazy

That's not fair, what else do they want??
I even heard someone was rejected because of this same birth certificate issue, that the person dropped Attestation of birth instead of birth certificate from National Population council...it's well
What intake did you apply for initially?

Lisi:
Likeeeee, what's even up with that lately, God abeg please oooo




Thei refusal rates has bene crazy lately

I even heard some reasons do not even make any sense

nadesh:
Don't appeal, submit a new application. The long.processing time is because Abuja office handles ALL applications form Nigeria, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire and Senegal.

Thei refusal rates has bene crazy lately
