Feel free to share/ask.
We'll answer your questions based on knowledge from our personal experiences.

Fanfare2000:
@femi please can you please text me? Or anyone who has successfully applied for Spain should please text me. I need help

Lack of academic coherence with proposed study.

kungod:
did they tell you the reason for rejection?
Hopefully they will deliver today and i will share the outcome and whoever needs the step by step guide, i am willing to share.

Can you tell me how many days exactly it took?
Also, what was the process, did they call your phone or what?
Did you submit your passport?
When did you get it back?

dreaH:
Like 2 weeks

Student visa - Long stay.
Why are they taking so long to deliver?
What if you still have to appeal?
They will waste some time out of your appeal.

kungod:
what kind if visa did you apply for?
The BLS would deliver my passport next week, it's ready for dispatch

You're the 12th person that I know that has gotten the most flimsy rejection reason when the evidence proves otherwise.

I think they aren't giving visas, but they are too afraid to admit it, because they want to collect money and also to maintain face as per external relations with Nigeria.

If anyone has gotten it, please let us know.

We need to raise social media awareness and questions about this unfair practice. It's ok for Spain to ban us, we don't care, but they should let us know.
Don't let us waste our resources and time trying to put in futile applications.

I hate unfair practices and rubbish against Nigerians in this life!
See ridiculous rejection reasons. These people should come out and let us know.

The public has to know about this.

Judeaz10:
I doubt if Spain is giving Visas (Study) this time around ooo..

The amount of rejections is alarming. I too had a rejection barely two weeks ago over not having sufficient funds to cover Tuition, Stay and Return which I find very funny because I paid my full tuition, had enough to cover my stay during the course of my study.

It is very heartbreaking considering how meticulous I took the process from start to finish. They should have come out the same way Portugal did some few months ago to say they've suspended applications so people stop wasting time and money applying to their country..

I wish anyone applying good luck!

Rejection.
Last week.
If you've not begun the process yet, I don't recommend!
My opinion.

Results may differ from person to person.
My application was very tight, but life and their biases happen!

You must.

I don't know about the other documents.

But Police Character and Medical Certificate have surely expired. They are valid for only 3 months, so I'm sure that you have to get these 2 certificates afresh and authenticate afresh.

Thastie:
Good morning all
I did authentication of my documents last year, is still valid?
Thank you

You see that last part, if you forget it, na OYO you dey. Maximum delay.

Ensure your university forwards your transcripts and certificates directly to the consulate before you go and legalize them.

I know they used to allow any of physical or electronic delivery method (but I'm not sure which is preferred or banned at this time. I cannot confirm which you should use. You can use both if time is against you).

femicephas:
Legalization is around 68,000 naira per page (all my docs were 1 page each, though). Ensure your school sends your school certificate/transcripts to the embassy to avoid the 2-month investigation, which incurs an extra cost.

At this point in time, If I tell you say I know, na lie.
But based on what people's experience is, just plan for 8-12 weeks

kungod:
Hey guys, i have just submitted student visa application on July 29th, i am hoping to get a verdict soon.. How long does it take to get a response from them?

High rejection but some still get it.

The main problem is the hectic and expensive process, especially when you are new to it , or you are rushing.

It requires at least 9 months of preparation ahead, money and quality information.

Orelice:
Do they still give visa in Spain or the rejection is high

Wow. Wth!
I'll miss my intake if it extends beyond 2 months.

That might even be the reason why the will reject my application. Not enough processing time. Ah!

MadamShe:
No update yet o
Still waiting. Heard it takes 3 months now 🤦‍♀️

I taya too for everybody.

hunee:
what me i sha want to confirm is that is anyone succesful with their visa applications of late.


Everywhere is just quiet.

Let's make this forum useful abeg.
Make una dey share outcome and updates so far.

This is not the Nairaland of before.
Everywhere just dry for here, but crowd plenty for BLS and Consulate.

Nobody is asking you to share more than enough.
Just let us know how far, so we can have an idea of what to expect.

Make una leave the crab mentality.
Give info too. Don't just take take take.

Please I'm not an agent.
I'm also an applicant.

I want to connect with you so that I can understand the appeal process and the whole process better, in case I have to do it again.

Abeg o.
Help.

Hakeez674:
I have been getting emails and DM asking to help me with my appeal and stuffs
Omoh make una no vex
I’m not sure I am interested in trusting anyone service anymore and there’s a lot of scam going on..
at least I know the process now if I need to reapply I do not need the service of an agent anymore …

Thank you for the tip.
I'll ensure I am vigilant and report them wherever possible.

Evaress:

Mine is 20 working days. No update yet.

Yours has also exceeded 45 days.
What is the update abeg?
No shame in sharing abeg.

MadamShe:
Okay, same here. Mine will be 45days by next week. Hopefully, we get update this week or next.

Exactly.
Na Nigeria and Africa Dem dey do us anyhow.
Humiliating practice.
No be their fault sha. I hope we had a better country.
Better options sef plenty wey dey far better than this their country sef!

jahbenedict:
Whoa, that would be crazy. Hopefully that wouldn't be the case. Holding on to someone's passport and documents (sometimes original copies) for such a long time is wrong in my opinion.

I know they might be overwhelmed with applications, but with the money they are generating from application fees, it is only right they hire more visa officers to enable faster processing of applications.

Wow. It's 47 working days by today Sat Aug 15 2026
Have you heard anything abeg?
Please don't be shy to share.
Me I don't know you, so it's almost anonymous.
Help us with details, so we can have an idea of when to expect.

Judeaz10:
42 actually, no update yet.

I understand the pain.
Check your dm. Ha.

Hakeez674:
Hello guys
I’ve been off for a while to get my mental health better after getting the refusal after so much expenses.
I’m just seeing the messages I was tagged to
I submitted an appeal to BLS but I didn’t hear anything from them it’s been over 1 month plus I submitted the appeal now and nothing yet.
So guess nothing changed…
My agent just acted like nothing happened.
Guys you need to be really careful with these agents sha
Spain is really just showing a lot of people where because everything looked good when I submitted and see what I got

I guess the plan by Gods grace is to re strategize and save up to try UK or reapply again

Have you finally submitted the appeal?
It's important.

Hakeez674:
After all my efforts and all the spending my study visa application got refused… Omoh it is so sad after so much spending on translation, legalization, tuition deposit, travel expenses and so much expenses…Omoh it’s so bad

Does anyone know if appeal works ?? Does anyone have any idea if anyone has had any positive response from the Appeal ?

KillMNKnow:
Fake profile. Fake story. Dude using the profile picture to set a trap for scam

I'm glad many people still have a good brain like this person I quoted.

It's very simple, this is a fake story and the profile picture is fake. It's just an easy way to set up a scam. Hot and naive individuals will rush to message the poster.

Una go still get brain one day.
Scam story!!!

[quote author= post=114526923]You can only run, but you cannot hide.

May Devil kill all terrorists and kidnappers, robbers in Nigeria, from boko haram, to ipob terrorist organizations, esn, bandits, evil ones among the herdsmen, ritualists, cannibals,
kidnappers etc

Any sane, honest and hardworking Nigerian will gladly say AMEN to the above if they know they are not supporting and cheering on terrorists and murderers in this nation.

Again, You can only run, but you cannot hide.

We Rise.


Deaths before the end of this year to all supporters and hailers of the government/people that brought Boko Haram to our darling nation.

Now let's hear you say AMEN.
Amen for where? Who wan die nah?
Hypo [/quote]I have not been a member of this forum for a long time.

But, when I see folly/foolishness, I can easily identify.

I'm afraid nothing can save you anymore.
You are a lost cause and people should avoid quoting your messages until you begin to grow a brain.

Now I agree with the saying that - foolishness has no bounds.
A grave pity!

obiekunie01:
Australia!

That flood will be filled with anacondas, piranhas, alligators, dangerous snakes, dangerous insects, and various other evil creatures!

All trying their best to be the first to kill you!


That country! even if they dash me their visa, I NO GO GO!

Stop joking!

Go on.
You don chop belleful ba?

Next!

This is hilarious!

Bad

It's neither black or white.
Meaning, it doesn't always turn out bad.

But it's better to stay guided and alert.

If you are addicted to serenity,
You might want to listen to the OP's advice.

All in all, it could prove to be an unsettling gamble.
Stay wise!

Do what you must, young man.

Think deeply and make a choice.
Be prepared for any outcome.
