@mr.wip, can your visa still be denied if your name is on the list sent by the school and your documents are complete?

Yes.....name on list does not matter that you must be granted visa. Embassy and Universities are two different entities. Embassy job is to approve whom ever they want in the country based on documents presented by the applicant, psychological assumption and techno-physical assessment by the visa officer.

However, one of the criteria for assessing applicants at Turkish embassy when it is related to university visa application is details sent by the university to the embassy but is not the determining factor to grant visa.

Each country/embassy adopts varying assessment methods. In fact, assessment of applicants going to South Cyprus differs from those going to North Cyprus. South was more complicated around 2000-2013 while Northern part was more like cake...however, the table has turned in reverse manner or turning to say!

Itstyme:
Is there anyone here going to University of Nicosia? It seems South Cyprus visa processing takes forever. @wip7 Please are you aware if the Migration has started issuing out visa for this fall admission? Thanks

Yes, they have issued for two of my students going American college. They were late for last entry anyway!. Also there has been some delays from the migration department recently. When did they submit your stuff and did you get in touch with the univ? Actually they extended the admission time cos is normal they do this if less students have been admitted so that brushed out the delays and some other stuffs.

Hello Mr wip7..Sure you're doing great sir!
I have a friend who wants to apply for Nursing (undergraduate) spring semester but she has a degree already @ OAU in Biochemistry.. pls will her duration of study be reduced since she has a degree already?? and pls can u help apply?..Thanks

Thanks am doing pretty good!...Yes she can be exempted from related courses and her years will be reduced. She will be able to follow the Nursing program in English in either British University of Nicosia or Near east Uni. Yes when the time reached, kindly let me know towards Nov-Dec, I can apply for her....also she may check the universities and learn more. At EMU, nursing is offered in Turkish Language while those mentioned above follow it via English.

@ wip7
thanks so much. I am 16 years old. My ticket with turkish airline is already booked
and I am suppose to travel with my elder sis.
I applied for an e visa and was told I am a minor
my appointment date with the turkish embassy is
30th September and my travel date is 28September
am soo sad.. do you know what I can do?

Ohhh sorry for that. Yeah you have to be 18+ for u to access Turkish e-visa. Its always advisable to make just reservation rather than booked the flight when the visa has not been concluded. So before you book again ensure your visa has been granted.

One way for you is to travel to Turkey with your UK visa and on arrival you can just walk into the visa office within the arrival unit of Istanbul and then you can be granted entry visa as well..(VISA ON ARRIVAL)....VERY VALID WAY, CONFIRMED BY ME. ( my youngest brother visiting me had similar challenge; in his case, his luggage was checked in and he needs visa to pick it but he was denied e-visa cos of age also, he walked straight to the visa unit with his Canadian student permit and was granted entrance visa while I was waiting for him in the main Airport to travel down to beautiful TRNC together. You may do this as well....

OR

You can cancel your flight and get refund especially before the travel date if the class of ticket you purchased is refundable or you can simply speak with Turkish airline to reissue the ticket based on your new date. Do you purchase your ticket online or via an agent? Online is quite so easy to do this and may not incur additional charges. If you follow this route, then you must wait for your visa to be granted by Turkish embassy Abuja before you book again.

Princessgatt:
@wip7
pls sir.. I resently gained admission to Emu.. and have
Paided d fees nd received confirmation letter
I ve a 2 year valid uk visa... can I just apply for an
e visa instead of going to the embassy?

Yes you can apply for the e-visa to come over cos is easier and cheaper alternative. However, ensure you either travel on Turkish airline directly from your base to North Cyprus or you connect with Pegasus at Turkey down to TRNC so as to avoid stories that touches the heart.

Sir I called the school help line and the woman that answered me said that my name will be among those that will be sent tomorrow or within the week,I have also mailed the registrars office to let them know of what is going on,I just beg you sir if is possible,to go through the list that will be sent this week to cross check if my name is there sir and if so how long will it take for it to reach the Turkish embassy in Nigeria ,
Name:Tochukwu Luke Anameze
Application Number:U1503967
Thanks sir
I await your amiable response sir

Your details have been sent to embassy today with confirmation number....807-9764....towards end of next week, it must have been received in Abuja.

tochielucas:
@ Wip7,

Please i need your help sir , i want to know When will you be sending my names to the Turkish Embassy, Abuja Nigeria?

I have made my full tuition fee payments since June 2015 and my name has not been sent to the Turkish Embassy, I have the Acceptance letter, Final acceptance letter

NAME: TOCHUKWU LUKE ANAMEZE

APPLICATION NUMBER: U1503967

I hope to hear from you as soon sir

If you have made full payment as you said, your details must have gone to embassy since July batch sent. However, I have checked all the 4 batches sent upto Sept 4th 2015 to Turkish embassy I cant find your name.

So if you have your confirmation letter send email to EMU registrar to include your details to the embassy for final list going to embassy middle of this month.

brainyemeritus:
I also sent you a mail not quite long @ Mr Wip n still patiently waiting for a response

What is your mail about ? if you want me to apply for you, yes send me the application documents. If you have some questions others can learn then post the mail here. If is private question let me know. If is about application you have already applied for, then contact the registrar!

shegxxymyth11:
@ Dr wip, the Turkish Embassy didnt reply him, does it means he would have to wait till 28th of next month? What can we do sir? your gesture is kindly needed sir and we will appreciate that sir.

He should follow the rule of thumb.

davidgreener:
@wip7,

good morning sir, kindly check your email box, thanks

whats in my box ooo..i cant see anything

shegxxymyth11:
@ Dr wip7, my friend didnt tell me he booked another appointment with another email address, i hope this is not a problem for him? Please help.

This your friend must be very stubborn oooooooo and does not like to follow rule of thumb....Anyway there is no help I can render as I don't work with the embassy and even I do I will gladly punish him for abusing stated rule/procedure.

Back to the real thing:

1. The Turkish embassy does not care about your email address (its just for conversation sake)....they are interested in your passport number and full name

2. The person that extract such appointment requests from each email sent may be very diligent and pay attention to each details or just interested in the details to be extracted.

3. Such request may be categorized based on dates of application so as to fish or monkey out offenders like your friend.

Possible outcome based on "IF":

1. If the extractor does not care, then your friend will not have issues
2. If the extracted details are not categorized based on dates, then no punishment
3. If details were extracted and they discovered your friend over-smartness but the person have good hearts, then no punishment
4. If luck is on his side, then no punishment

Best wishes in what ever case!

shegxxymyth11:
@ worry359, you should not say that, it was a mistake, but thanks.

@ Dr wip7, Thanks alot, you have shed more light to it, he will have to wait till another one month is completed.

Best wishes!

fondy:
@Mr wip, can I use my TT receipt while going to the embassy or will the school have to offer me their own receipt of payment?

After your payment is received by the said university, you should be sent another letter stating that you have paid and that serves as your payment confirmation/receipt from the university and to the embassy.....you may go with the payment confirmation from your bank also.

shegxxymyth11:
Please Dr wip, we need response sir

... his class is starting on the 21st of September, he tried to email the Embassy, but they sent him this:
Applicants are strictly advised to book only one (1) appointment within one month. Multiple bookings within one month will be punished by cancellation of all appointments without notice.

What do we do please?
Please Dr wip, we need response sir

worry359:
The Turkish embassy have their rules and are strict with them

As pointed for you above, kindly follow the stated procedure of the embassy. You must apply for appointment once a month. Meaning count the days you applied for the first appointment and exactly after one month you can make another appointment...if not you will be punished by the embassy as they mentioned.

Also below take note of my reply here:

wip7:
no you wont have a problem provided you resume before add and drop date, if you have been admitted into EMU or METU, the add and drop dates are written on the offer letter but if another university you may have to scroll to their website to check this date or permitted period to be registered. However most university here will start real work from October first week and I am believing that till 2nd week you should be fine except METU that is Naturally strict as no-nonsense University

Best wishes!

ID card, will dat be a problem?

Always be patient..sir.......

worry359:
You posed this at 2pm, calm down and learn some patience please.

no you wont have a problem provided you resume before add and drop date, if you have been admitted into EMU or METU, the add and drop dates are written on the offer letter but if another university you may have to scroll to their website to check this date or permitted period to be registered. However most university here will start real work from October first week and I am believing that till 2nd week you should be fine except METU that is Naturally strict as no-nonsense University.

National ID is formality just go since you have got international passport and you may go with your voting ID if you have enrolled for such.

Its nice coming to this pages again, Thanks to persons like Mr Wip7 who have been devoting time to answer streams of questions.
My advice to new applicants, TRNC is TRNC. Don't expect magic and don't have this idea that I am going abroad to hammer. Yes some made it in clean way, but the factual truth remains the same, ur aim should be to come here and study. be sure u have backup finance from home and don't forget to get at least 2 bank ATM with internet banking to help in case one bank mishap.
after 1 semester you can switch school of ur choice, but be sure is the right direction cos the person who is helping you might be doing so to get some money from it.

And most importantly don't forget where you are coming from especially to our girls, remember that there are different purposes men sleeps with girls? and no girl has remain the same after such experience. Life does not depend on all these.

Hoping to see ur faces soon

Thanks a lot for your pieces of advice...it does worth it.

Side talks : hmmmmm you meant when a man sleeps with a girl......the girl wont remain the same? changed to alien or what....as a researcher I love to learn more about these changes ( ).

benji93:
DR WIP, I sent an appointnent request to the designated email last friday, but i am yet to receive my appointment day, pls how long does it take to get an appointment date after sending the appointment request

Depends on many metrics...sometime within 3-20 working days. So wait for the response in your email box and check spams as well.

Dont forget there was no working days btwn and Yesterday. So today is the first working day after you applied.

Best wishes!

hello Mr wip, I paid my tuition for NEU on the 10th of august, when will the school forward my name to the embassy?

As soon as the University receive your cash. It may take 3-5 working days for wire transfer to be received. However, if you do not hear from the concerned University, kindly call or email their official address.

brainyemeritus:
@MrWip...pls I'm planning to pay my tution fee for emu fall in two weeks time..will that be too late or is there a deadline for payment... I've been sent acceptance letter already ...Thanks

No is not late, you can meet up if you pay in that 2weeks time you said. Possibly your name will follow the 3rd batch to embassy. Best wishes!

Good evening house, I have been offered admission in CIU for masters degree. Have paid the 1k euros and now am awaiting the unconditional letter from the sch...now am a little clueless on how to go about the rest. I want to know how much one is expected to have in bank account for visa processing and other help that cn be rendered.
Thanks

No fixed amount stated by the embassy......just reasonable amount that will cover more than your entire studies, living and accommodation costs. So do the maths based on that!...The entire visa processing procedure can be found on Turkish embassy website...kindly locate that and you can ask just specific question/s after you have gathered all documents and submitted the appointment request.
