IMustWin:
my school refused to stamp "Certify True Copy" on the photocopy of my degree result. Said I should tell the embassy to write them first. Please what should I do now?

call me and let me guide you on what to do

DeeKeem:
Check out this thread about authentication at MOE and MOFA. The thread is very short.

On page 11 or so someone mentioned that if you wrote NECO/WAEC within the past 5 years that the online printout with scratch card will be accepted.

Joshph:
Pls if l need to legalize my document to send it to Belgium can l use my student transcript or it must be official transcript.

Okay.
I think I have dealt with something like this in my previous posts
student copy of transcripts is not accepted at the embassy. Do well to get official transcript and also take the photocopy of your certificate back to your school for stamp or certify true copy to be placed on it

DeeKeem:
@victorsol please help with the above

okay

Toluv20:
Please, what is the best and cost effective courier service to send my legalized documents to Ghent University in Belgium?

depending on your state where you are.
check the price of Dhl and FedEx. Dhl takes 2 to 3days and FedEx 3 days. cost depends on the state you are but FedEx is 18050 and Dhl is 17500 to 28500 depending on the state.

IMustWin:
Boss, can't this authentication be done at any State MOE? Must it be in Abuja?

Am sorry to say NO
it must be at the federal ministry of education Abuja

divads:
Okay bro. Thanks a lot. Uve been really helpful. God bless you

Amen

divads:
Pls I'll also like to know. On normal circumstances legalisation procedure takes 7 days to complete. But is it possible to do that in a shorter period of time..say 2 to 3 days someone said you can do that. But you'll pay more for a faster process.

Do you have any idea about that??

all is 10days but only legalisation takes 7days.
but if you are smart, you can spend 3days. just tell the woman how urgent it is and you can show her evidence to back up your claim.
about pay faster, you can't pay extra money to fast your processing at the embassy. You only need to beg them.

but you can pay at ministry of foreign affairs to get your documents authenticated as soon as possible

divads:
about any other documents to legalise. I think it depends on the school you're applying to. But I guess for Msc studies it's usually just degree certificate and transcript.

If you could send someone else to do the legalisation on your behalf. I think there's a form you can fill out and sign and give to the person.. check the Belgian Embassy for more details.

You are bro.
but to authenticate at MOE first, you must be there in person or your someone that bears your surname help you out.
That's the only way.
but others can be done through proxy.

smartlepere:
That will be #16, 800 for my B.A certificate and transcript. Is there any other document that needs to be legalized also and must I go in person before I will be attended to?

for MOE, You need to be there.

in summary, your presence will go a long way

divads:
Okay bro. Thanks. Student copy is not on it

You don't have a problem if your transcript is not student copy

smartlepere:
Please sir/ma, you meant #8,300 per document at the embassy?

'

yes N8,300

divads:
Good day bro. Pls My transcript was given by the department. With an official departmental stamp and signed by the HOD. Won't that pass for an official transcript??

once student copy is not on it and carried address of any organisation, then it will be accepted as official transcript

Aphrikanna:
Please this is urgent. has anyone applied to University of Antwerp? They asked for a course description in the application and I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Can anyone please throw in more light on what they are actually asking for?

bros, I no of someone in the group that applied to that school

Jubrilx3:
hello,


which school accept english proficiency letter in belgium? for Msc business or management related course.

some program do while some don't

IMustWin:
Yes you have.
Thank you very much sir and plz let's try keep this thread flowing.
Gracias!

One more question please!
To renew my Resident permit in Belgium, do I need any proof of financial sufficiency?
I'm actually applying to VUB for a BSc course and they need a block account of about €10k for visa/RP for 1 year as living expenses. So I'm concerned if they would still require me to show this €10k again for the subsequent renewal of my RP.
Godbless sir.

I don't think so and besides by that time you should be working at least

bj000:
do u mean certification of transcript and any suggestion for me have applied for my uni to send my transcript to the embassy and is taking time what can i do since the date for submission by hand is very close

go to your school, talk to them and collect it by hand.
God bless you

IMustWin:
OK thanks bro.
Plz what's the procedure for the legalization? Do I need to book an appointment with the embassy first?
How much does it costs?
And can I get it done that same day?
Tnk u

Procedure for legalisation is this.
1. go to federal ministry of education with your certificates such as waec certificate, transcripts and bachelor certificate. you will buy 1000 naira scratch card for waec..
2. take the authenticated document to federal ministry of foreign affairs and they too authenticate the same documents.
3. then you can proceeds to embassy to legalise your documents.
note - ensure your photocopy bachelor certificate has certify true copy on it with school stamp and also your transcripts must be official and not student copy.
....
you don't need to book appointment with any of those organisations but embassy attends to legalisation on Tuesdays and Thursdays btw the hour of 9am to 10am...
.....

let me estimates 10000naira for Fed ministry of Education and Fed ministry of foreign affairs but embassy is 8300naira per document in cash.
....
No.
it will take you 8 to 9days.

I hope I have answered your questions

IMustWin:
Hello house!

Plz is it compulsory one must certify his documents only at the Belgium Embassy?
The school I'm applying to didn't really specify.

Tnkx

Yes, certification is done at the Embassy, however, there some universities that allow you to get admission before you sending legalised documents while some require that you send legalised documents before they can consider you for admission.

enility:
God bless you exceedingly bro, na way forward we dey look for.... 08107497849 Abeg message me for WhatsApp bro, very important

#MyOpinion

Ehyah
it is well

tosindguy:
Has anyone received email on notification of interview from Erasmus emPlant?

I am hearing rumour.

@ditha.... talk to this oo

enility:
good pm y'all, @Victorsol thanks for the good job bro. please I have questions to ask, and permit me to ask here...
1: Are there tuition free universities in Belgium?
2: How about getting menial jobs for students? what's the minimum wage?
3: Is the English test a requirement for admission? or can a letter indicating your BSC was taught in English suffice for those going for masters?
4 When do we have the application periods?
5: Is there a WhatsApp group?

Thank God bro.
Am not an expert too but i believe my information is valid and is open to anyone to add theirs.
1. there is no tuition free universities in Belgium but you can get cheaper ones sha.

2.I strongly believe there is menial job for international students in every countries in the world. though it is might look difficult or impossible because of language barrier but with favour and smartness, I believe it's possible.

3.it depends on the program. some programs accept English proficiency letter from your school while some want you to write English proficiency exam like ilets or toefl. So check for your program requirement.

4. to my own understanding, for international students, I think deadline for application is around March 1 but it's possible it varies depending on the program.

5. No whatsapp group yet except there is a proposition to create one but for now, nothing yet
but we can have it if we all want it sha.

i hope I have answered your question.

Sprishua:
Yes I mean official transcript to apply to somany schools not posting direct to one school

there are two ways to it.
I can post the first here but I can't post the second here.
first, you can apply for official transcripts from your school to one known organisation that you know. but before you use their address to apply for this transcript, you must have someone in the organisation that would help you get your transcripts out and give you by hand.
the other one, I can't type it here because here is a public place.

thanks

Sprishua:
Please did anyone here studied in federal polytechnic Nekede? And how did you get your neutral transcript handy. Please I need answers urgently

bro, you mean official transcript or student copy transcript cos I don't really understand what you meant by neutral transcript.

Aphrikanna:
