I applied via agent sir just trying to confirm sir and please what do they ask at the port of entry sir?

I don’t know what the immigration officer will ask you at port of entry. However, either at port of entry or exit, you must have information regarding the university you are going, who will sponsor you, your program of study and where you will live.

Have all your academic documents original and photocopies. Speak and dress like prospective academic student from a positively-cultured country and responsible family.

Mikell344:
Thank you sir the school Is CWU I don’t really know about there accommodation please sir do you know about there accommodation

This is a tiny one building university. It has no accommodation of its own. Anyway, it’s located in Famagusta where offcampus apartment is cheaper than other city. You will find apartment either shared flat or one bedroom flat around 1200-2000 TL monthly and sometimes you maybe asked to pay for 3-6 months at a go.

Use this link below to see accommodation cost ( this your university is in Famagusta/ Magusa)

https://www.101evler.com/kibris/kiralik-konut/magusa

and school fees per year?

Have you not gotten admission?

If yes, all university writes the yearly tuition on their acceptance letter. Also, visit the university website to read to know more about the university and tuition. I don’t understand how you will be going to a university without knowing anything about the university like tuition and accommodation before you even process the admission.

And sorry sir the writing part is it like essay or composition

I don’t know what the writing part look like but if you have passed high school exam like WAEC or NECO from your country, and can read and write then you have nothing to fear it’s not TOEFL or IELTS it’s just common entry ENGLISH exam.

and what are the document I should go with while traveling there sir. What are the questions am going to be asked at the port of entry sir?

How did you get your admission? You applied yourself or via an agent? Read your acceptance letter; all required documentation are generally written in the acceptance letter and you can also email the university for all you need.

Mikell344:
Hello sir what about the English proficiency test, if you did not meet there mark what will they do sir?

You will be sent to English preparatory school which you will pay for and may last 1-2 semesters until you pass.

And I need idea on how there English proficiency test looks like sir.

Basic English for anybody that can write, read and communicate in English. Depends on the university, some are multiple choices testing tenses, verb use and short write up. 98% of those coming from English speaking parts of Africa pass it easily cos is basic.

emmanick:
Good day Mr Wip

Both are not directly related. You can with OKTB if visa is denied.

BrainArch:

I email my school for booking but they said they will inform me when to book my flight and am scheduled to travel next week. clearification pls….

Click the EMU link up there to see how much to pay and also it’s the same information your school posted.

Also, classes in almost all universities starts in October so I encourage you yo book your flights towards end of September.

Holuwahphemi:
Signature seen, is it yahoo or google
Yes I have received the circular, that was why I was confused.
Already paid for the dormitory, but I haven't booked my flight yet.

If that person does not have a VALID address in the university then will pay. Please follow that link on our website.

Holuwahphemi:
I'm a Masters student coming to EMU
Please how can I contact you sir.

Did you receive the circular from emu regarding this? Have you made arrangements for EMU dormitory.

Look for my email in my signature.

Holuwahphemi:
Mr Wip, concerning the home quarantine in EMU, I heard from a friend who just landed yesterday that the 640$ is still compulsory and that home quarantine was not allowed for students from Nigeria, they lodged them in an hotel.
He said they had to have paid the 640$ before even boarding and showing the proof of payment at the airport.
Please can you verify this

I can only verify 100% that EMU students with accommodation approval (proof of accommodation issued by the university) paid just 750 TL [/b]also from Africa. As I write this, a master student who happened to be a graduate of Laughtech from your country arrived on Wednesday and was collected from Airport by an EMU assistant, paid 750 TL, and is currently quarantined in her paid accommodation.

[b]Are you coming to EMU? EMU has circulated the message to all incoming students and agents..... also if you are coming to EMU, send me your acceptance letter, accommodation details, and flight details at least 3 days before, I will be speaking with the vice-rector particular on this.

If your university is not EMU, then I encourage you to consult your university regarding this.

Mikell344:
Thank you Mr wip I’m going for under graduate education and sir am scared about the job sir, I will really need it sir. They don’t have part time job over there?

Having studied in different countries and traveled extensively, I can assure you that if you do not have a full scholarship, working to pay tuition and living expenses will be extremely difficult, and the situation maybe even more difficult for those in non-English speaking countries such as Cyprus. Recently, I taught a sessional course at one of Canada's institutions, and one of the students in my class was a Brazilian who had to return to her homeland because she couldn't manage the financial situation and the backbreaking work required to survive. I have seen countless students from various countries as well in Cyprus that have stranded and left university for years because they can’t afford the tuition and those with jobs hardly can even pay the fees.

If you don't have enough money to pay for a full year of tuition and housing, you can continue your studies in your home country for the time being. However, if you insist on traveling in order to support yourself through work, you may be lucky or unlucky depending on the situation.

However, be prepared and optimistic; regardless of your plans, do not do anything that would ruin your name or that of your country. You might also consider learning some digital skills that will allow you to be self-sufficient without having to do a lot of time-consuming and strenuous work.

Hint: One of my students (a 23-year-old Palestinian lady in her second year of engineering in Cyprus) is a professional blockchain developer and junior machine learning scientist who self-taught herself. She is a practical expert with a long list of projects under her belt; she recently signed a two-year contract to work remotely for an Australian company building solutions, earning a solid wage without ever leaving her room. First, this is a plus for her since, unlike people who engage in fraudulent activities online, landing a job after graduation will be a piece of cake for her given her present recommendations and projects she has successfully accomplished.


Best wishes!

klassykute:
Hi i have just gotten admission to study in NEU m bout processing my visa, can anyone please walk me through the important requirements i need to take along with me to the embassy i really don’t want to screw this up please i need assistance

I encourage you to visit VOYAVISA website all you need is on the website. Also, see the MZVISA list posted upward, it’s the same.

We have mentioned this like over 100 times on this thread, so visit the sites and read. These are straightforward, written in English that any person that can read and write can follow.

Mikell344:
Hello sir I’m new here please I want to know if I have to travel before resumption date and I want to know I can also get job over there to help myself too not only my sponsor doing everything.

In general, students should arrive prior to the start of class so that they can finish their housing and immigration paperwork without interfering with their studies. However, students arrived slightly late due to a variety of factors, despite the fact that the semester's deadline was set by each university's schedule.

So, to assist you in planning, I recommend you to consult your school's academic calendar, which can be found on the university website, to determine when classes will begin and the deadline for course registration.

Jobs are relatively scarce as Cyprus is an island with a sizeable economy dominated by education and other allied services, which has been exacerbated by the Covid lockdown, which has impacted a number of enterprises. Although some businesses have begun to recover, it should be noted that, as in nearly all countries where English is not the first language, finding work in Northern Cyprus may be hampered by the language barrier, wages for survival, and unregulated working conditions. Some students find jobs easily, while others struggle. If you are coming for undergraduate education, make sure you have at least two years of tuition and living expenses covered before you arrive.

Best wishes!

Holuwahphemi:
Student would be required to pay more for quarantine room?

At EMU students don’t pay for quarantine room—it is FREE. In general, when you reserve your room you will be sent to your room to get quarantine since is your room that your have reserved or paid so nothing like paying.

Also, EMU already have some special dormitories for students to take care of such.

If your are coming to EMU, ensure you fill the pre-arrival form online, have your dormitory sorted and EMU representatives will collect you from airport and also follow up

emmanick:
Good day Mr wip

Please I would like to understand what EMU mean by

Quarantine payment

Is it still the 640 or the 750tl

I have said it many times, all recents students that have arrived to our campus only paid 750 TL. Students have been arriving since the border was opened for citizen or residents from Dark/Grey countries.

Students only pay 750 TL (this is for PCR test and tracker bracelet) where 350 TL is refunded back to the student after the quarantine period. .

If you are coming to EMU, get a proof of accommodation show at upon arrival and pay 750 TL is that simple.

Note: I am a professor with EMU and have met with number of new students and EMU has also circulated the message to all incoming students .

Holuwahphemi:
So EMU students can quarantine indoors, even if it's a double room?

At EMU, we have lots of dormitories; if you are coming to EMU as a new student, we can provide you room mainly for quarantine even if you have reserved a double bed room.

Drhay:
Thanks for this update sir,

I have my unconditional acceptance letter now, how is the OTB done sir

Also how can I get a cheap accommodation against quarantine

For accommodation please contact your university so you can have verifiable accommodation address.

With accommodation you will only pay 750 TL upon arrival no quarantine FEE.


For OKTB:

You need your acceptance letter
—return ticket (only Turkish airline)
—-payment of tuition and your documents
—- OKTB currently cost around 100-200k depends on who process it for you.

For my students; we process OKTB from Abuja AIRPORT.

Quarantine Procedures for Students Travelling from Dark Red or Grey Categories

Upon arrival, students must:

--Have a valid student certificate for the Fall Semester 2021 (for old students).

--Have downloaded the mobile application named "Güvende Kal" to their mobile phone before coming to the TRNC and complete the registration and payment procedures in the application. The cost is 750 TL in total, 350 TL of which is a deposit refunded to the
a student once the 14 days quarantine is completed.

----To provide a valid address where they will be staying for the home quarantine. If the student does not have accommodation to stay in, EMU has a wide range of on-campus dormitories.

---Students CANNOT go outside the quarantine zone within 14 days; thus, students will be given a bracelet to control their movements during the quarantine period.

NO PAYMENT FOR QUARANTINE

Profmaojo:
Good afternoon sir,

Please I want to know if there is scholarship opportunities for Post graduate Masters program in cyprus.?

Also if there is none, please what is the current fee and the necessary requirements like IELTS block account etc.

I'm sorry for the numerous questions sir

Almost all the universities in Cyprus offer master program with 50% discount. The fees varies based on program and university. Some university charges around 2200$ for entire master program and university like Eastern Mediterranean university charges around 6700$ for entire master program which already included 50% discount.

Cyprus university do not need Ielts but requires proof of English from your country or English exam upon arrival and there nothing like block account (block account is mainly for Germany).

Holuwahphemi:
Mr Wip, if someone has already gotten accommodation in the dormitory. Double room, does it count ? Or an hotel would still be needed.

So far those that I personally know that recently arrived had accommodation and so they went to their accommodation not hotels.

Meanwhile; I will update you next week as some new students are coming this weekend they have dormitory at our university so this will tell much about it.

New student arrival last night to TRNC from Dark Red country


So two new students arrived yesterday, specifically from Kenya. They already have a rented apartment letter with them and were only asked if there is someone in this apartment which they said NO. They only paid 750 TL which 350 TL will be refunded as tracker fee. They are asked to quarantine in their homes. I just spoke with them from their apartment.

Those with no proof of accommodation were asked to go to hotel and they will bear the hotel cost themselves.


Please ensure your PCR test is valid upon arrival and possibly have a bank card with you.

CEOwatazs:
Good day everyone, please just wanna drop a question in search for an answer....

Can someone having an Msc. Degree in accounting apply for PhD Economics?

Thanks

This will be possible. Admission into PhD program varies by university; in general the following are considered:

—- relevant courses taken and passed at undergraduate + master classes are largely considered.

—- CGPA at both undergraduate and master levels.

—-thesis or research area is taken into consideration.

— Research proposal on how relevant to your proposed and previous academic will be considered


In most countries abroad, the PhD admission evaluation will be largely based on your undergraduate courses 70-80% (meaning that, in the academic aspect, the department check if you have taken and passed relevant courses to economics at your undergraduate level), then this will be combine with relevant courses you have taken at your master level 20-30%.

If there are courses you are supposed to take to boost your knowledge, you will be given foundation courses relevant to Econs.

HolySpiritFire:
Please do they offer law/ LLB undergraduate study? And their fee? Thanks alot for your immense contributions sir.

Yes universities in Cyprus offer law program in English. They have undergraduate program in international law, fee is around 3100 euro per year that’s for CIU but you can check other schools as well.

[quote author=emmanick post=105089000]Good day Mr wip

Can you confirm if the payment of 5400tl is true

.

Reading about that from you for the first time.

And also in other to process my student permit in CIU do I have to pay my complete tuition fee

No, each university has a minimum a student should pay to register, as soon as you make such payment, you will be able to process your student residency permit.

Or can I still process and get the permit while I pay the tuition fee installmentaly

You can get the permit as soon as the university registers you, CIU is 1000 euro to register except some countries.

Best wishes

Drhay:
Thanks sir, appreciated for this information sir,

Please sir I heard that quarantine fee has been cancelled and it's now free according to new law as at today sir.. please how true is it

3 PhD students came in last Wednesday from South Africa and two other on last Saturday from Egypt… these students are funded students of my lab; they never pay any quarantine money, so where you heard that is new to me. What they paid was 700 TL for test and tracker which Turkcell will refund 400 tl to them after 10 days.

Couples of old students also arrived from your country days ago and only paid for just Covid test.

Get updated news from the Government site regarding traveling procedure before you travel.

Best wishes!

Drhay:
Good pm sir,

Please sir I want to know if you have confirmed the policy of OKTB this fall cos I just finished paying my school fee and needed to know how to do OKTB sir.

Thanks for your swift response sir.

Yes, our first set of OKTB should arrive on Sunday to TRNC from Abuja.

When you are ready to process OKTB l, email me your acceptance letter or find any agent to do that for you or visit Turkish airline.

klassykute:
Good day boss, i have just started working my school process, i just paid my school fees and m looking to go to the embassy very soon to process the student visa to NEU please i literally have a very small amount of knowledge of the documents i should go with to guarantee a smooth process. Please can you tell me the most important things I should go with? Thanks

Visit the Turkish embassy Abuja website and voyavisa website to see all documents and procedure for the student visa.

emmanick:
Good day Mr Wip

I want to enquire about OKTB

I understand if you use OKTB you don't need to go to embassy to process a student visa and that at arrival you will given some kind of permit still you process residence from your school.

My question is what If I still want to process a student visa after I have entered into Cyprus and maybe come back after a semester...can I still process my student visa afterwards and will student permit allow me to come in and out of Cyprus (Nigeria to Cyprus) just as a visa would. Thank you

TRNC do not have a student visa; all students either those that come through the OKTB or transit visa must apply for STUDENT RESIDENCY PERMIT….this permit is usually 1 year and renewable for all students that register annually and allows you to go out and return to the country.

So if you have OKTB and wish to apply for visa afterwards, it’s waste of cash and time since the visa that will be issue is TRANSIT VISA that will last within 1-3 months; however, your residency permit already sufficient to stay legally and travel to/fro.

I hope that is clear.

Hecky7:
Good evening sir
Please I would like to ask if you can change your course during the registration. And how long will the registration take considering the quarantine session.
Thank you

Yes you can change your program during registration provided your results is acceptable to the department you wish to change to.

I don’t know about other schools, registration at EMU is done within 1-2 days and 80% is completed online from your home even during the pandemic.
