Most of the Nigerian students are not clear with the process of obtaining visa for their education. Here is the complete list of documents needed for VISA application:
1.) Authenticated certificates by the following ministries: ministry of education and ministry of foreign affairs. Both ministries are located in Abuja. List of documents to be authenticated are:
- BIRTH CERTIFICATESWAEC CERTIFICATES
UNIVERSITY CERTIFICATE for master’s student
TRANSCRIPT for master’s student
Each documents costs 300naira at each ministry. You pay using remitta… the procedures will be explained to you when you get there. And please note it might take latest 4 days for completion, depending on how fast you are.
2.) NDLEA VISA CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE. This certificate sometimes is not needed in Abuja embassy, but my best advice is to go to An NDLEA office very close to you to apply for visa clearance, it cost 10000 naira. Lagos embassy always asks for this certificate.
3.) Admission letter from the school
4.) The school should send this admission letter to the consular email at the embassy and copy the letter to the students email.. the students should print out the sent document. Make sure the print out includes “copy’. Edoofa helps you with this.
