It depends on the university, you have to ask. Some universities that own a contract with private residence providers will give you a housing certificate or letter of attestation.

With that letter, you can get visa because the letter states you’re guaranteed an accommodation.
Getting CROUS is very hard as an international student because you need a french guarantor.
So just check with your university about any arranged accommodation

flyway:
Has anybody been able to get accommodation for student visa? How did you go about it?

Whatever fam, was only a question

Samiattt:
This is unnecessary FR

Why did you apply to them, if you had doubts?
Plus what do you mean by “good uni”? What is your definition of “good”?

WalterC007:
I greet d house, is Ulster university a good uni?
Jux got an offer from them

Oya I don help you.
Happy Sunday

Still doesn’t change the fact fam

babaoloola:
Thanks so much for this. Guys who are quick to say "Google is your friend" should please calm down for us o.

Louder for the people at the back

LaaJiblik:
ALL of them could give discounts to international students.
Factors they consider may include (but not limited to);
Course, Country of origin, your undergrad CGPA, etc.

No Nairalander has a database of schools and discounts.


GOOGLE is Your Friend.
School Websites is your Best Friend.

@ LaaJiblik is right. No one got database all of the universities here. It’s totally impossible that you did not find any information about scholarships or discounts on their websites.
Check again properly

arhyur:
Please calm down, if I have the information from from google or their website I wouldn’t be here asking, if you don’t know also kindly allow people who does answer me. It’s not on their website thanks!

This is actually correct lol.
I was talking to a friend who is a senior lecturer at a university. Apparently they’re cutting jobs but they’re also introducing a new strategy.
“Reconsidering declined applications”.
So basically if you did not meet the English requirements previously & you were declined an offer, you will get an email saying you can be offered a place if you can take the university’s English test. Or if your CGPA was too low, they’re offering 2-3 weeks intensive courses before start of the program.

That’s how much desperate they need funds from international students lmao.

Dwebb55:
To add to this, when the meeting between the stakeholders and the government was held, some management staff from German airports authorities were called in to see how countries that have opened were able to do so. The purpose was to streamline the opening of external airlines into the country shortly after local flights resume. Feelers are suggesting that a reopen might occur locally in the first week of July.

Let's wait and see and pray. The Ireland embassy will start processing for its September intake from tomorrow. Their plan is to have prospective students submit at VFS after which the submission will be sent to the Abuja embassy and then scanned to the VO in Ireland who will begin processing. We know our funds is much needed in the abroad so hopefully, action will be taken to reopen fully soon!

Airports and international flights will definitely resume by Mid August at most.

These politicians also have their kids who are leaving for studies this September. Some are also due for their annual medical checkups. Some are also in desperate need to go on holiday with their side chicks & relive the whole stress from corona.

Besides it’s not the government at fault (at least for interstate travel). It is the airlines. The domestic airlines are yet to provide all necessary documents required to fly up again & some are yet to pass the maintenance checks. Allowing people to fly without adequate safety measures is risky & you know how careless Nigerians can be.

There’s still time though against September

bisi16:
With the way this govt is making and rescinding decisions, till now, no local flights, no inter-state travel. u guys sure we'll make Sept entry date? I'm starting to doubt..

Whose names are this?

ibrahimovic303:
Been here over 2years already and I can challenge any African/Nigerian living here to beat there chest and say that they got an IT job without internal connection in the firm....Realistically speaking, it is a tough call here that is why networking is crucial...The truth is that once the recruiter sees a name other than “Antti, Koski, Janne, Petri etc”, that application is going straight to the trash can....even odd jobs here require some form of recommendation to get...so approach it with an open mind, miracles still happens anyway...

So they’re all accepted for visa?

davide470:
There is really nothing special about any of them. Compare and go for the one that is affordable to you.

Yes my blood is always hot please.
Besides there is nothing cold about the current situations in the world.

Mikeval001:
Did I say you are wrong? Why is your blood always hot,you better calm down.

I was only stressing on what you said base on the information I have

Please I’m not a man of love , na solid metal I be.

mattfeuter:
Relax, Indaboski

I think he actually agrees with your point.

Just email the university with a refund request. Fortunately because of CONVID19, some universities are offering deposit refunds if you change your mind to proceed with study this year.

You can see sample from below (Wolverhampton University). So just email your university and explain you wish to get a deposit refund due to CONVID19 complications on your finance.
They should be willing to refund your money

All the best

Bryantee:
Good day to you all.
I have been planning and working on my admission to study in UK for some times now and everything seems to be moving smoothly until recently. I have an unconditional offer and tuition deposit of £2000 has already been paid courtesy of my sponsor. However, the story has now changed for worse because he is no longer capable of sponsoring the study due to his financial status (effect of COVID 19), he has even advised I request for refund of the tuition deposit.
Please, how do I go about this in order to get the refund even if it won't be in full.
Thanks.

Why are you mentioning me exactly? Wasn’t that what I said? Did you even read my initial post before this quote? Please dey your dey abeg

Mikeval001:
To apply for visa in another country especially Ghana,you need to show a proof that you've been a resident of Ghana for at least 6 months. This is the major rule.

Which travel insurance is best in Nigeria?

Between Aiico, Allianz and Zenith, which is best?

Thank you

Read the last 5 pages and you will get this info. Or search mimilyrics handle and click on her page to see posts on this topic.

sagbar:
Hello house,
I'm sorry if I sound like a novice but I really want someone to enlighten me about this UK tier 4 visa thing:
My wife intends to study for a one year Msc in the UK by September and want to stay back after studies leveraging on PSW.
The plan is to check on her during studies and probably fully settle down with her after studies.
But I just get to know we can go together, and that one person will be a dependent.....
If we want to go together, how much are we expected to have in our account after paying her school fees to have our Visa approved.
Someone should help on how this works.

Thanks

How can I see your previous response when you mentioned me before advising him?
The screenshot you put clearly said visit visa, which is different from what he was talking about.
Made it seem as if I was wrong smh

mimilyrics:
If you read my previous response to him, you'd see the strengthen the application part. Someone I know did it before (which was why I spoke on it) but there were very serious reasons for doing it which was why I told the poster to apply from residential country.

Visit visa ma and even at that, still need to have a solid reason & evidence as to why you cannot apply from your country of residence [quote author=mimilyrics post=90838966][/quote]

I don’t think you can apply for visa in another country where you’re not a resident, except there’s no embassy branch or affiliation in your country of origin eg Estonia

SAMDEEA123:
I see but if in the end that is by the end of July 2020, it remains this way, I will resort to using the UKVAC in Ghana

How were you rejected for lack of funds?
Did you not have blocked account?

OlakunmiSMELTD:
Please guru, I need help. I was rejected of study visa by Germany embassy due to lack of funds.

Now I want to apply to one of France university for MBA program.

Please I beg in the name of God, I want the list of documents needed at embassy for study visa. God bless you all

Yes correct.
Campus France even sent email to start booking interviews today.

Maybe

Graceisallineed:
Some people have had issues also with Stanbic, Standard Chartered and Access. In my personal opinion, it depends on the branch you go to.
First bank and Zenith bank in Victoria Island axis treat FX transactions swiftly.

I asked my friend working at Zenith about the rate Zenith bank will use for Form A payment (tuition fee), he said CBN rate.

Because Nigerians too dey spoil things everywhere dey go.

ZINIBANKS:
gamaliel9 can you state your reasons

I honestly don’t know about exchange rates, so you would have to enquire. What I am sure about, is their fastness. Like if you go in the morning, before the end of the day you will get debit alert. Next day you get telex copy. They don’t have unnecessary protocols.

I don’t know much about FidelityBank form A payments; I only use their app for euro transactions which is very reliable.

But my brother, don’t even try firstbank.
It’s like going from frying pan to fire.
They will frustrate you with network talk ehnn. Before they process it, till thy kingdom come. Upon that, they will charge you at the rate of whenever they process it not when you submitted the request. If they rate is lower on the processing day, they will now go back and charge you with the higher rate of time you submitted.
They have dealt with me severally. Forget firstbank o.

SAMDEEA123:
I was thinking of transferring my funds away from Stanbic to my fidelity or first bank to make payment but with this revelation, I will let it be. Hope their exchange rate is fair

For foreign transactions;

Stanbic
Standard Chartered
Accesbank are the top three.

For domiciliary account & direct transfer from mobile app
FidelityBank
Accesbank
Standard chartered are top three.

Other banks are good, but these ones are very fast when it comes to deposit payment, tuition or other foreign transactions.

SAMDEEA123:
Wow so Stanbic is super? I have a Stanbic account

@alien1, davodyguy is right.

You have to disvirgin your passport first before applying for Schengen visa. This is because you’ve already had 4 visa refusals and that could suggest desperation, especially as you’re a single guy with no family ties.

You can try visiting UAE, or another country that requires visa on arrival or visa free. At least when you apply, they can see that you have crossed border before and returned in due time.

I personally wouldn’t even advise a Virgin passport holder to apply for Schengen visa now.
What could possibly be so urgent for one too see in high infected countries like France, Spain etc..for a newbie? They go dey wonder why you wan visit their country on top this coronavirus wahala.

Anyway @alien1 Goodluck.

davodyguy:
Try to do UAE First this time to 'disvirgin' the passport

Google is your friend dear ....

jamesobedbaisel:
Can someone assist me with computing related programs and school. And also tuition fees less than £14,000

Wetin dey make you smile?

STENON:

So you basically just wanted to get mentions? You already decided on nursing based on work experience, but you were asking about cyber security.
Where did cyber security come from in the midst of nursing & engineering please? smh
goodluck in your endeavours anyway.

aivewobhor:
Thanks for all your advices. I will go for nursing. Although I graduated as a mechanical engineer and have been working as an assistant nurse for close to two years. So I applied for nursing with my engineering qualifications and backed it up with my health care experience, that was how I got the admission. And as for Cybersecurity I just applied hoping to get a positive outcome which I did. Thanks all, we move to the next stage

The fact that you haven’t gotten a job yet, doesn’t mean someone else won’t.

Everyone has their own grace.
I don’t see why someone with no interest in nursing should go for it because of work.
Peoples lives are in your hands abeg.

Mizzfy:
Please go for nursing, I repeat go for nursing. You can't go wrong studying nursing because as soon as you are done, you can register with the nursing board and you will get a job even if you need sponsorship. Vacancies in healthcare are endless. IT jobs are highly competitive and more so you need to find a sponsor. Just finished my msc in cybersecurity, no hope of finding a tier 2 sponsor. If I could start the process all over, I will go for nursing.

Bros which one can you really do?
Which one can you showcase your talent in? Which one can you easily succeed in, without feeling depressed or bored at some point?
Which one do you have more experience in?

The first one that comes to mind, go for it.
They’re both good choices and have prospects for TIER 2.

All the best

aivewobhor:
I did my interview today with university of Chester and I was given an offer as she said I preformed excellently well. Also I had an offer today from Birmingham City University. PLease house kindly advice me, university of Chester offered me msc adult nursing while Birmingham city university offered me msc Cybersecurity. Which should I take based on job prospects and getting tier2 visa after studies.
