Someone just came here and used whatsapp group to destroy this thread that serve as a source of information to would-be travelers to Austria.

Why not create your own thread and tell people to join your whatsapp group.

I have valuable information that i would have posted here but the thread has been rendered useless.

fnor:
Hello Everyone,

Please i have completed and submitted my application.
Only challenge now is paying my application fee. I have tried using credit card of my sister abroad but it keeps declining.
Can anyone advise how i can pass this hurdle?
Thanks
Abit surprise because u can only use pple abroad to pay for ur app fee in nigeria. Y not look for a trusted friend in europe to help u with that

fOFT:

Bologna is the best choice amongst the three.
You can consider doing delivery related jobs within 3-6 months of your stay. At least you should be able to speak basic italian by then
Note:It all depends on you ( learning new language is not for everyone)
Plus, you have an advantage (feminine power)


Best wishes

fOFT:

Do you want to study and work in Italy?
Sai parlare italiano?
Where are you heading?

fOFT:

I've been living in Pavia for almost a decade now.
I will be fair with my judgement.
Italy is fine but can be better.
Pavia is fine for me because of proximity to Milan( just 30 mins), cost of living, plus I graduated from UNIPV.
According to LinkedIn and Indeed, there are more job opportunities in Northern Italy than other regions.
In all, come with enough money, ask
questions, socialize with people, set healthy boundaries.
All the best!
Ciao

Very discouraging o, I was too forward with d preenrolment as I had no knowledge dat it's only 1 school one can be able to preenrol at a time but I hope they will be able to remove me when I get another admission.
Someone will pay dat amount & still send hard copies again, so what are they verifying? They should have just asked that the school send d documents directly to them for verification without dat amount.

fOFT:


Si, certo

Moving4:

Oh really? No much jobs?
I my case I didn't know one can only pre enroll in only 1 school, I already preenrol b4 I heard it. If I have another admission I'll have to ask Dem to remove me from their preenrolment list. Dat their Verification process is too tidious for me, cos you'll still have to go to ur school to send ur certificate & transcript to CIMEA after paying d €215. If after paying I expect Dem to do verification from d school themselves & not asking for hard copies again, so what is their Workin d process?

Moving4:

Are u finally settling for Camerino?
Have u started the Statement of Comparability and Verification process?

fOFT:

Well said @Solanacea
You will need to go to Abuja to cancel the one you have and get another one.
I was in this situation about 10 years ago.
Get ready to spend money!

Zulu1990:
Please my passport would expire on 24th of April 2024. And I just applied for admission to a school in Italy which I am yet to know the outcome. Please would this expiry date on my passport hinder the embassy from granting me visa? As I hear people say, your passport must have 18 months valdity beyond the expiry date of the expected trip.

Please help me figure this out !!!

samtol4:
Sapienza University and University of Pisa.Free application and most courses taught in English. Application still open

Egwuleke:
Check university of Messina because thier application should be on till early June.

Egwuleke:
Why not apply to some schools without application fees?

Moving4:

This makes Sense, lemme wait for d others for a little while too

usmantoski:

You can't do any international transaction with your debit card higher than $20 per month, that's what the CBN and fed govt have reduced us to.
So any payment higher than that you have to find someone over there to pay

Moving4:

The other Italian school I applied to someone helped me pay, I wasn't able to pay tho it wasn't Milan

Moving4:

I don't even know why the school is demanding this pattern of verification which cost this high when their embassy here can just do it for all Italian schools ones & for all.

Moving4:

Thank you...
So for master's is BSc and transcript that has been authenticated from MOE & MFA that are to be uploaded to the CIMEA portal for verification and then those fees that applied are to be paid?

Moving4:

School fees or application fee? Cos I haven't paid any school fee, except application fee

Moving4:
Hello please very urgent.
How do you people pay Italian Schools Application Fees cos I've tried gtbank dollar card it declined, now I tried the PayDay app that have used to pay other countries app fee and it still declining.

What do I do?

Moving4:

I got a Pre-admission from Camerino too, have u started ur CIMEA & embassy process? I'm new to this & i don't know where to start?

usmantoski:

Pls send me a DM on 07039531875 let's run this thing out cos it seems Camerino case is quite different from other schools there

fOFT:


cimea process - Contact Italian Embassy/Consulate for clarity.
I came here in 2014 and trust me my information is obsolete.
I paid 110k for DOV in 2014 -> Is this information relevant in 2023?
Student visa application fee was free in 2014 -> Is this information relevant in 2023?
