@tolyem, thank you for good wishes..

I made application to a private school in Austria. The language of instruction in the private school is English Language. The school did not need legalization of my school documents to grant me admission but of course, Austrian embassy asked for this according to Austrian Law

I made application for admission by sending scanned documents (school results/documents, cv, motivation letter e.t.c.) by e-mail to the private school in Austria. Then the school made a phone interview with me after reviewing my documents and gave me admission letter. They sent this original admission letter to my home address here in Nigeria. Then, I took this admission letter to the Austrian embassy at Maitama in Abuja with all other of my documents.

I applied for a Student residence permit and not a Student visa, because for Austria, when u want to study for more than 6months u av to apply 4 a residence permit and not visa.

The first step to take is to get an admission letter from a school in Austria

Next...

You prepare your documents

School documents, including Waec result, transcripts, birth certificate, police character certificate (to be gotten at Alagbon), photocopy of data page of international passport, passport size photograph, certificate of state of origin, affidavit of bachelor hood/spinster hood, attestation of birth, sworn declaration of age, filled application forms (student residence permit application form about 9pages, to be filled in German language, filled Questionnaire form, about 10pages: to be filled in English)-you get these two forms on the website of Austrian embassy or by email when u write d embassy, financial documents, bank statement and document stating where you will reside in Austria.

You will also legalize your documents at the Ministry of foreign affairs in Abuja before you can submit them to the embassy because Austrian embassy will never accept documents that are not first legalized at Ministry of foreign affairs, Abuja.

Then you get 120,000naira ready

You book an appointment by phone with the Austrian embassy, they will give u an appointment date in a month's time when u should come in person to the Austrian Embassy in Abuja to submit your documents and they will collect the 120,000naira from you, this is lawyer's fee and u get a receipt at the counter during your interview.

After the day of your first appointment, you will go back home to await phone call from a lawyer from Austrian embassy. The lawyer will come to your house to make interview with you and your mother or father. The lawyer will ask you questions about your documents, school documents, when u finished school and all that... Then he will ask also your parent; (these answers you give lawyer have to rhyme because he will write them down on a notebook which is his report) Then you have to sign, the lawyer will compare your signature with the signature on the documents you submitted to Austrian embassy at the time of your first application, also your parent will sign. The lawyer will even go as far as asking you to show him your neighbours house so that he can ask them questions about you. Then after this, the lawyer will go to all your schools and confirm all the school documents you submitted to the embassy, the lawyer will take photocopies of all these documents and show to the people in charge of your results in your school, he will only ask them if your school documents/results are genuine or fake and if you really attended/graduated from that school. Your school councelor or principal have to prove to the lawyer that your school documents are genuine and he/she has to sign to approve your school documents which the lawyer will take along with him to submit to Austrian embassy. If you attended 2 or 3 secondary schools, the lawyer will go to ALL these schools to confirm your result also if you attended a university here in Nigeria, the lawyer will go to the Faculty/department to confirm your school documents and if the lawyer sees any fake document, that is the END of your application, the embassy will CANCEL your application and all your efforts and money will b WASTED! So, do NOT submit Fake documents. The Lawyer will write a report about you and go to embassy to submit this report. The lawyer will also go to the courts and notary offices where you got your other documents to confirm its authenticity and also the lawyer will go to Alagbon to confirm your police character certificate, even to the office where your birth certificate was issued, He WILL CONFIRM ALL, nothing will be left out. When the lawyer finishes with these investigations, he will go back to the Austrian embassy in Abuja to submit his report about you and your documents.. Aha, the lawyer will also collect about 2 or 3 of your pictures and your siblings pics and parents pics, he will submit these to embassy but this will be given back to you later.

Then, after lawyer submits his report about you, the Austrian embassy will review all and then make a decision, if d report from lawyer is good, you will receive a phone call from the Austrian embassy to continue your application to the next step which will be to go again to Abuja to pay your verification fee and application fee, this should be between 40,000naira and 60,000naira, depending on how many documents you submitted.

When you pay this, embassy will then legalize your documents and send to Austrian ministry in Austria. It is the Austrian ministry that will grant the residence permit. It takes some months for them to make a decision whether to grant u d residence permit or not, they will write u and let you know of their decision, if granted, you will receive a phone call from Austrian embassy to come to Abuja for 3rd time but this time, with your international passport, so that they will give you a visa so you can travel to Austria, immediately you get to Austria, you don't waste time, you go to the Austrian ministry to collect your residence permit card - (Austrian residence permit card looks like a credit card/Atm card)

I think this residence permit card is starting from 1year, then before it expires, about 3months before it expires, you apply for an extension of the residence permit when you are there in Austria

And... That's it...

N/B : It takes about 4-6months for processing your application for Austrian residence permit.

Good luck in advance to all those who are processing Visa/residence permit to Austria.

This Austrian application stuff is soooo long and complicated, from foreign affairs, to ministry of education to legalization to lawyer to verification..(I've done them all) I don tire... I think I am beginning to grow white hair(lol) and I hope I don't get hypertension or high blood pressure!! haha.. I hope my efforts have not been in vein ohh!! Because I already did all the embassy asked for.. But why is it taking so long time to get answer from the Austrian ministry if my residence permit has been granted or not. Anybody with useful information should please contribute. Thanks in advance

@nonyowen @justwise

justwise:
They need to be hidden.

Thank you very much @namebdis4 for making me understand the issue concerning proof of financial solvency. You opened my mind with your explanation. Thank you sir for being here for us, so we can learn.
Pls one more thing oh abeg, don't angry for me sir.

If I want to send money to the school to block it for me, how much will I send. What's the amount I will send. I am asking so I can get an estimated figure in mind so I can plan ahead. How does the blocking of account work.

Pls no vex for me, I be JJC. Thanks

namebdis4:
Like I earlier said, there is nothing to do with your account or sponsors account for visa application. So forget about your bank account and that of your sponsor. No matter how bulky they are. Belgium only make use of what is call annex 32 or prise en charge as a means to show financial proof. In this case your sponsor needs to fill the form or affidavit (annex 32) and take it to the Belgian embassy where he resides for legalization. He should be an employee with a good monthly salary about 2300euros up. Not a business man. Also u can make use of the block account system which schools here offers. It reduces the stress of annex 32 and visa is at least 80% sure, the remaining 20% is ur motivation. Hope this helps

Take care

Hello guys, pls I have been asking this question. pls advise me on how to go about how to show proof of financial means from myself and my sponsor during the visa application.

how do you guys wanna show proof of financial means from your sponsor and yourself during your visa application. Do you wanna present your own account and the account of your sponsor. OR do you wanna use an account in Belgium like the prise en charge or annex 32 OR do do you wanna transfer money to the university to block it for you?

how do you wanna go about it pls.

@vansledge @Raemond

vansledge:
i just started mine yesterday too, so i will send u a PM so we can teamup together...

Thank for your reply. I really appreciate it but I want to ask what prise en charge or annex 32 is and how to go about it and if someone wants to transfer money to the university to block it. How much does someone transfer.

Thank you @namebdis4

namebdis4:
Belgium does not use bank account statement as means to show proof of financial solvability. They use what is call prise en charge or annex 32. U can also transfer money to the University and they will block it and issue u a letter of solvency which u can use as proof of finance.

Good day sir, I got ur details from nairaland.

Pls can you tell me how you showed proof of financial means from your sponsor and yourself during your own application. Did you present your own account and the account of your sponsor. OR did you use an account in Belgium? how did you go about it. Pls advice me sir. I want to apply soon.

Thank you sir. @oluwamitomisin @namebdis4 @fikki1 @wingeddove

No problem sir @eMidas

eMidas:
@Yomyjoe
It's 40Euros per document for Legalization. You only incur extra N120k if they need to further verify the documents before legalization. I need to keep in touch with you s I am considering Austria as well. Hope you don't mind. I will soon get to their embassy in Abuja.

You people should come back to this post na abeg....we need epp

Hello my naija people, I want to apply for student visa at the Austrian Embassy abuja and they said I should pay N120,000 for the documents verification and school certificates verification and the duration is between 8-12wks. How can I go about this please because this money is too much just for verification of documents @WiziAgozie

Thank you very much my people, God bless you all for contributions. I want to ask how much it costs for Authentication of documents at the Ministry of Education and how much it costs for Legalisation of Documents at Foreign Affairs. Thank you

Themhydahyoh:
Mine took 24hrs I dont know about yours which might take seconds and it was in March this year. You are open to ur own opinion and pls i am not misleading anybody. One man's food is another's poison

Thank you very much my people, God bless you all for contributions. I want to ask how much it costs for Authentication of documents at the Ministry of Education and how much it costs for Legalisation of Documents at Foreign Affairs. Thank you

WiziAgozie:
vvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvv letter of eligibility is prepared by ministry of education... after which you will legalized it in ministry of foreign affairs.... eligibility letter is usually address to the consular of embassy... eligibility takes lengthy time of 2-3weeks..... the official duration is 5days even after that, it is always not ready.... b4 you can get eligibility letter you have to authenticate all your educational document first at ministry of education... then present testimonial from secondary sch already authenticated....with evidence of payment....

Pls you people should epp me concerning my application to Austria School and Embassy.
1. Will I legalise or notarise my documents before sending it to the school? 
2. Will I also legalise or notarise my documents at the Austrian embassy in abuja for visa and residence permit application. Because the Austrian embassy is charging N120,000 for legalisation and authentication of documents and they said it will take between 8-12wks.
So I was thinking if I should do it on my own at the ministry of education Abuja, it won't be that expensive instead of paying that heavy amount. But I am scared maybe they will reject it.
I am not sure, pls advice me because I be JJC. Any advice about the procedure will be appreciated.

Hi everyone, first of all, I am not seeking a visa to travel to Austria. I live have residency in Poland and I want to study a degree programme with an Austrian University(Vienna Technical University of Applied Sciences). The program I intend to study has the possibility to take some long distance courses, then travel to Vienna from time to time during the semester.

But to secure the admission, I have to get my high school documents legalized by the Austrian Authorities in Nigeria.

So, the difficulty am having are:

1. I am in Poland, and I dont intend to travel all the way to Nigeria spending a lot of money
2. I cant reach the embassy at all by phone
3. What it might cost to legalize

So fellow Nigerians, in my case, how do I go about getting my WAEC legalized? I read some post that it cost about 120K with lawyer fee included and afterwards, i have to pay for the documents again.

Please analyze my case, and tell me what to do.

REMEMBER: I live in Poland and I dont need visa to Austria, I have residency in Poland which in turn enable me to travel around other Schengen member states. The program I intend to study is taught fully in English and by Distance study methods which means, in a semester, I have to be on Campus only 9 times.

I have a wife and a son, so a traditional class is not on my page right now, thats why I want to take this opportunity to do something for myself and my family.

Any suggestions are highly welcomed.

Thanks

Pls sir, how does one go about legalisation of documents for Austria embassy and also authentication of documents for the school and the Austrian embassy in abuja. I am asking because the Austrian embassy in abuja said I should pay 120k for legalisation and authentication of my documents and it will take between 8-12 weeks. The money is too much. Pls advise me sir

weirdarkhitekt:
They offer similar services and you can choose either but I prefer daad.de for searching for courses and application requirements while study-in.de has more information on application processes. Getting information from both websites is the best. Daad.de is run by the daad (German academic exchange service)
While study-in.de is run by the ministry of education and research.

Masterportal.eu is also a website like the two above but it is not Germany specific, it covers the entire European continent.

Pls sir, how did you forward your new admission letter and receipt to cic. We are in the same boat coz I also deferred my admission and got a new admission letter for January 2017. Pls advice me on how I can get my new admission letter across to cic as I await their response concerning my application
