Good morning all. Please note that the purpose of my post wasn't to criticize the Czech visa process. I noticed that many applicants who intend to study in the Czech Republic are unaware of the limited visa slots, so I decided to enlighten them. But thanks for your views, after all God has a part to play.

Good morning all. Please, this piece of advice is very important for prospective Nigerian students who intend to study in the Czech Republic.

1. This fact is hardly mentioned, but please note that the Czech Embassy in Nigeria offers only 10 slots per month for student visas. Therefore even if you have the necessary documents, you might not be able to get a student visa due to limited visa slots. I have noticed that applicants spend huge amounts of money in order to gain acceptance into Czech Universities, superlegalize their certificates, translate their documents from English to Czech, open dormicilliary accounts, pay for accommodation, and pay for school fees. The sad reality is that only few students will be able to get appointments at the Embassy. If you are not ready for emotional havoc please search for educational programs in other countries. You might have to spend more, but your Visa appointment will be guaranteed if you have the necessary documents.

2. Applicants feel that the student mode, is a safe alternative. But please note that there are only 19 slots available for Nigeria and fellow West African countries. Therefore the problems mentioned above equally apply here.

In summary, pursuing a Czech Student visa is a BIG GAMBLE. You might win or lose, but the chances of LOSING are greater, so CHOOSE WISELY.
