I’d like to specially thank you both for sharing these information. This was a very detailed video and super helpful. However, could you, please clarify this: - My first degree bears my maiden name (I’m married). Do I need to submit marriage certificates or any other documents to prove the discrepancy?. I want to know if there is need to authenticate these too at the MFA. Or, just wait for the consulate to request for additional documents as the case may be. Many thanks in anticipation.
Thank you for finding the video helpful. If you plan to travel with your spouse, here's what you need to do: 1. Authenticate your marriage certificate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs along with other required documents. 2. Submit the authenticated marriage certificate on your Legalisation day and pay around 150k for additional verification. 3. If you've changed your maiden name due to marriage, obtain an affidavit confirming the name change. This helps resolve any name discrepancies quickly. 4. Authenticate the affidavit in Abuja, and consider taking it for legalization, although it may not always be required, as was the case with my wife and me. I hope this clears things up.

Nice video. Pls do i need to pay my tuition fee first before coming to Spain or I pay the tuition fee when i get to spain. Also do they accept instalmental payment of tuition fees. Thanks for the prompt response.
Thank you, you have to pay deposit to the school. Then you can pay the rest while in Spain. Yes They do accept instalments but it differs from school to school.
Thanks for the prompt response. But pls do you have an idea of the minimum amount someone can pay as deposit before coming Spain. The country looks good though... Thanks for the video...
Please @Jude,the documents to be translated,if the documents are already in Spanish,for example the admission letter, accomodation guarantee letter, insurance,do you have to translate them by an authorized Spanish translator? I made a request of my admission letter for, accomodation and insurance in English and Spanish from the school and the insurance company, please do i have to make an authorized translator translator these documents again, thank you.
Authentication can be done for you by proxy While legalization is selective, for police clearance, the consulate won't accept by proxy. Other documents can be done by another person for you but, not a police character
Thank you for your good work..... please i got admitted to a Spanish language school....how long can my spouse and children join me? And can my dependant work? Or is there a specific time he will stay before he can start working?

Hello to this beautiful couple and Happy New Year to you both. Am here again oooo😁 pls I want to ask, - Can you help me in getting a certified Translator in spain to translate my documents? - As a married woman going to spain to study Though without my family, Do I still need to present my marriage certificate to the embassy? - Is Sponsorship or Scholarship from an individual accepted by the Embassy, even though the person is not your direct family member? Thank you for the good work you are doing, God bless you.
1. I can give you the contact of a certified translator. Just DM me on Facebook. You pay him after he sends you the translated copies of your work. 2. You don't need a marriage certificate if you are going alone but if you have intentions of bringing your husband later, please legalize the marriage Certificate now
3. The relationship between the sponsor and the beneficiary needs to be strong enough to show the sponsor can pull through. So you have to prove that to them
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 Thànk you for your quick response and best wishes, I appreciate. I don't do Facebook but I have an Instagram Account and WhatsApp. My husband will not be joining me, am just going for a 2years course and be back after am done.
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 My Sponsor is my Mum's Brother (My Uncle) and he is responsible for my studies. What do I need to do to make the Embassy accept his Sponsorship to me?
Thanks for the video, but it seems medical certificate is to be legalized now. I saw it on the BLS portal. But i hope it doesn't have to be authenticated because have already authenticate the documents mentioned in your video.
Thanks for this. For the academic transcript, according to the early part of this video you said we need to authenticate the degree certificate and degree transcript. Can one put the address of the embassy to collect it physically in order to send it for authentication?
Yes I said it, however I later remembered that the embassy didn't use the authenticated transcript from us, they used the one sent by the school to them. So remove your transcript from the list of documents to be authenticated in Abuja, continue with others as mentioned in the video. It's a minor error, I don't know if you understand.
You can put the address of the embassy in your request from your university. Your university will send it physically, however it's best and faster to use email. It's more reliable, like I said, remember the date your school sent it to the embassy, so that if they ask you, you will tell them, then they will search their database to recover your official transcript. Without this, your degree certificate won't be authenticated.
How do i know if I’m going to legalize my transcript or not. I have gotten an offer letter for masters in universidad de europea in Madrid and my legislation appointment is on 31 Oct. I will also like to chat u privately for other personal questions. Thanks so much for the well detailed information.
You will have to send your transcript to the embassy before 31 October. Know the date your university sent it. They ask you when you get there so that they can check for it. What happens is that Your transcript is used to legalised your degree certificate. Without it, your degree is not legalized.
Thank you always please should the affidavits used to get the attestation of age be authenticated at the ministry of foreign affairs or just the attestation that we want to legalize alone should be authenticated.
Please can you kindly drop the translators link here,and it's the link a nationwide translator or only for Nigerians or anyone from any county can access them? Thank you.
Thanks for this information! It was quite detailed. Please, do you have verified contacts of people who could help with the document authentication at the Ministry of education and foreign affairs.?
Hello How are you doing today Please i have some questions sir/ma 1. Iam finding it very difficult to get accommodation for me and my 11 years old daughter 2. As a single mother whos not married yet, do i need to present any singlehood certificate? 3. The authentication to be done in Abuja, is it done on the original certificate or colored copy of it 4. My school is starting by october and am yet to submit for visa yet , will this affect my visa result ? 5. What is this year total IPREM am to show in my account with me and my daughter ? Thank you sir as you help me answer my questions More blessings 🙌
1. For your accommodation use Idealista website or book air bnb. It's also advisable if your school can provide you with an accommodation option temporarily till you find a place after arriving. Also explore your school Facebook groups. Also don't fall for scams
Please how long will it take after legalization for them to give us date for submission of visa application..my legalization date is in February and I don’t live in Lagos so I want to know if I’ll wait in Lagos or I’ll just go and come back 🙏🏾🙏🏾I need answer please
Start emailing them for the visa date, one week before your legalization date. So you can get a date close to it, after your legalization. That's what I did and got a week gap between legalization and visa date
Hello gus! I really appreciate your video. I want to know can travel down together with my spouse and child. Like how much will the POF be for the 3 of us please? What can my spouse be doing to support me financialy if he isnt allowed to work? Kindly give me answers to my auestions. Thank you
Please I’m an undergraduate and I want to use my mum’s as sponsorship do I have to have money in my account too and if yes how much and please will I also submit together with other documents
Hi, thank you for your video. The school I applied to is still in pre registration phase. Do I need to start my application at the spanish embassy? And is it advisable to pay the application fee of 155 euros? Thank you in anticipation
Hello again, pls am married but my husband's brother is to sponsor me is the ties strong enough and do I need my marriage certificate to confirm the relation thanks
Hello, a follow up question please. I wrote to the embassy for appointment for Legalization. I live in Abuja but they didn't specify the location for the appointment. Do I need to specify the location or I can just go for the appointment? Thank you
Hello, it's me again. Please a question about the medical certificate for the legalization. From the email I got from the embassy, medical certificate is to be translated to Spanish. But you said they only accept their own sworn translators, how do I get one please?
Hi Grace and Jude please can i use Aiico insurance company to get my Travel Medical Insurance? As one going for Spanish study Visa if No, please let me know the names of the insurance company to work with. Thank you.
Hello sir Thank you so much for the guidelines through my process I am haply to announce that I have done my authentication and ready to submit for visa But am scared of a document 1. My police clearance certificate will expired on September 13th which i already authenticate and my resumption is October 21st and I haven't got to visa stage yet Do I submit it like that for legalization and visa or I should rather do another one? 1b. Do you think I have time for visa with this short timing? 2. I was told It is best to proof a ties back home and for that I authenticate my landed property papers to submit too Is it a good advice to submit them or embassy does not need that? 2b. If yes I have to submit them Do I need to also legalize them ? 3. Iam self sponsored and i have a business which is registered and I paid tax too to proof my funds I already authenticate them cac ,tax cert ,etc Do i need to legalize that too or just submit for visa only ?
2. Yes, it's a good thing. But make sure someone is sponsoring you or you have enough money for all the school fees for and living expenses for the whole time
Considering that police clearance and medical certificates expires after 3 months, when do you think it's best to go for legalisation and not be late for visa issuance for program starting tentatively on 1st September
I got a full funded scholarship from my state government ( Enugu State), Do Spanish Government or Embassy accepts such scholarship?. Any explanation will help.
Thanks for reply please i have another question. As undergraduate student how much should be in my statement of account before printing it out. Thank you
Also, I just collected my legalized documents today, can I apply for my visa first and when approved, apply for my wife so we can move together or it has to be at the same time
Thank you for the information. The transcript to be sent to the Spanish Embassy is it Hard or Soft copy? You mentioned email address. I am confused. Please help clarify. Thank you.
Hello, Grace and Jude Good evening, sir 🙏.... Thank you for the great work always and for helping me navigate through this journey , Please, I have some more worries 1. My school sent me another letter of admission stated on it that i will start classes online and I can join them physically until January 2025, Will it help my acceptance chances or i should defer my admission ? 2. I was suppose to go with my dependent 11 year old child and i was told her birth certificate will take 2 months to be verify, which will make me 2 months late for traveling after not meeting up with my class already now, so i decide to leave her behind and do my application alone due to the time frame I have left now to join class till January 2025, i want to later sent her invitation to join me when am on spain 🇪🇸 Is this a wise idea ? 3. Do you advise me to book a visa ahead of legalization or after legalization have been done? 4. Please, i seriously need contact for documents translation into spanish 🙏 Thank you, and God bless you sir 🙏
Could you please provide guidance on finding more affordable accommodation in Spain? The least expensive studio I have found so far costs between 550 and 1000 euros per month in a shared space. This seems costly, especially when considering the country's minimum wage. As an international student planning to come to Spain for my master's degree, the accommodations I have come across are charging excessive fees for accommodation reservations needed for applying for my student visa at the Spanish Embassy. I cannot afford to pay the above amount per month for a shared studio apartment in Barcelona. Initially, I thought I could find a place for around 300 to 350 euros per month within my budget, but it has been difficult to find. All the residences my institution connected me to in Spain are charging a minimum of 550 to 1000 euros, which is far above my budget. I really need to obtain a certified booking for accommodation to apply for a student visa as it is a requirement.
I'm hoping the embassy has a positive approval rate for student visas. My university requires full tuition payment or a 50% deposit upfront. Unfortunately, they mentioned that €2,000 enrollment fee is non-refundable from the tuition deposit that will be paid if the visa is refused by the embassy , which is a cause of concern for me considering the amount is huge . Because these EU Schengen countries always refusing Africans visa even students if they meet the requirements . It’s a big cause of concern going through all theses processes and getting huge sum to lost if they don’t grant visa .
Please you people did not legalize your medical certificate at all both in Abuja and in Spain embassy. I’m about to legalize my documents and I just want to be sure
You are doing a great job, I fine this video very helpful, thank you so much may God bless you richly for this information . But there is something I wish to know about proof of fund, I am a civil engineer with a registered company but I work in a real Estate company, I don't have Tax clearance or bank account for my registered company, I am using my saves account for my POF, I only have CAC certificate and memorandum of Articles of association. Do I really need to explain how I get the fund?
No body is asking you to explain anything. Just show that the money is available for you and if it is yours by being in your account. That's a strong POF
sir i’ve been trying to book an appointment for submission of visa with the email but there’s no response… even from bls spain too, the feedback is something else
Also, I already have my transcript with me, does it need to be sent by my school again to the embassy for legalization? Can I go with the authenticated one ?
please i got my invitation from my school late, resumption day is 21st oct and they gave me till nov 15 do you think i can be awarded visa in a short period of time
If you have a student job and work upto 30 hours per week. You may be able to pay it. But first, it also depends on your tuition fee balance. Please start learning the Spanish language as soon as possible
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 Thank you very much. As an undergraduate student can my wife join me later. And if she can, can she work while I school. Thanks for the response.
Yes she can join you later, but then if she is a dependant of you as a student, unfortunately she won't have work permit. But If she gets a job that will be willing to sponsor her work permit, then she can work.
@@Grace_judeogbodo386but what if marriage certificate legalization delayed can the dependent apply for visa when the student has gone to Spain to attend classes.
You CAN'T do Legalisation without Authentication of your documents. You can go to Abuja ministry of education and ministry of foreign affairs and do it yourself if you wish. But you NEED an Authenticated documents for Legalisation
I have a question. I got a scholarship to study at the university of Granada for a masters. I’m currently undergoing the pre registration process, is the process before u are admitted? And does he result of ur pre registration affect ur scholarship?
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 I think I’m being to anxious. Thanks. Coz I have not yet received the official admission letter but just the certificate of scholarship and a few necessary documents for the visa application. The university is doing the pre registration on my behalf so I don’t understand what that meant.
Thank-you for always responding to my questions Please help me out on this sir 1. If iam to book an accommodation without knowing when the visa traveling time is How do I choose a date for booking Do I use school resumption or a week before date? 2. If I do not book accommodation and leave the money in my account for them to see Will that affect my visa result? 3. The transcript by mail from my school which of the emails do I need to send to ? Visa or legalization email ? 4. The money I have in my account as proof of funds after the visa process is done Do I change all to euro and carry along or leave in naira and get to spain ? 5. How do I pay for accommodation online?
2. Accommodation is an important part of the visa process. Usually, the school should help you with this because finding Accommodation from outside Spain can be problematic. But you have to try to give them something to work with
4. If you have your visa, you can change all to euro, because the more you keep in naira, the value depreciates and you know you need euros since you are traveling not long after.
5. Paying for accommodation online is done with your card. But BE VERY CAREFUL OF SCAMS. This accommodation part is always problematic so try to use an account with less money in it for the transaction. I wish they allowed students to come in and look for accommodation themselves physically
Pls guys, i have an urgent question. Firstly, thanks for your tips on how to prepare for the Erasmus Mundus interview. I have been awarded the scholarship. I applied then with a related masters transcript to get the scholarship. The school i did the masters is yet to release the certificate. How do i go about the authentication and legalisation processes? Kindly help pls. I have a short time. Thanks
You can use the ones you have for the authentication and legalization The certificate certifies that you have graduated While the transcript lists the courses you did as well as certifies that you have graduated. So you can use the transcript since the certificate is not ready yet
Hello sir, in the requirements sent to me by Embassy, I saw that I can submit my degree certificate or Transcript, and also, my transcript should come directly from school. I have requested my school to send the transcript to the embassy. My concern is.. I sent my documents for authentication and on getting to Abuja, the person said I have to send down waec certificate again and that my school also need to send message to the ministry of foreign affairs confirming that my certificate is genuine. All these will take time because my legalisation date is 28th of this month.. My question is, can I just go ahead with my transcript and other documents that have been authenticated? Also, I'm just planning my marriage, and I intend to apply for my spouse after my visa has been approved so we can go together. Is this doable, please?
If you can legalise your marriage certificate at the same time with other documents. It's best for you. When you leave, it's harder to process it for your spouse
@@Grace_judeogbodo386and not funny we have been trying to book appointment for medical certificate legalization they gave us 3weeks date.and resumption date is 9th September and they gave 25th September to legalize medical certificate
Please what do we do when the date of birth on WAEC is slightly different from the one on international passport. And do they do physical interview or documents accessment?
I'm hoping the embassy has a positive approval rate for student visas. My university requires full tuition payment or a 50% deposit upfront. Unfortunately, they mentioned that €2,000 enrollment fee is non-refundable from the tuition deposit that will be paid if the visa is refused by the embassy , which is a cause of concern for me considering the amount is huge . Because these EU Schengen countries always refusing Africans visa even students if they meet the requirements . It’s a big cause of concern going through all these processes and getting huge sum to lost if they don’t grant visa .
Please don't forget to submit your HEALTH INSURANCE (ONE YEAR PLAN) during visa application and it must be in spanish language. Thank you
Do you have an idea how much is the Health Insurance for one year. Thanks.

Thank you for finding the video helpful.
If you plan to travel with your spouse, here's what you need to do:
1. Authenticate your marriage certificate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs along with other required documents.
2. Submit the authenticated marriage certificate on your Legalisation day and pay around 150k for additional verification.
3. If you've changed your maiden name due to marriage, obtain an affidavit confirming the name change. This helps resolve any name discrepancies quickly.
4. Authenticate the affidavit in Abuja, and consider taking it for legalization, although it may not always be required, as was the case with my wife and me.
I hope this clears things up.

So remove your transcript from the list of documents to be authenticated in Abuja, continue with others as mentioned in the video. It's a minor error, I don't know if you understand.
You can put the address of the embassy in your request from your university. Your university will send it physically, however it's best and faster to use email. It's more reliable, like I said, remember the date your school sent it to the embassy, so that if they ask you, you will tell them, then they will search their database to recover your official transcript. Without this, your degree certificate won't be authenticated.
I hope its clear enough
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 Yes, thank you so much.
Please, which of the emails would you advise that it is sent to?
The email for Legalisation appointment
Lovely couple
Thank you
How do i know if I’m going to legalize my transcript or not.
I have gotten an offer letter for masters in universidad de europea in Madrid and my legislation appointment is on 31 Oct. I will also like to chat u privately for other personal questions.
Thanks so much for the well detailed information.
You will have to send your transcript to the embassy before 31 October. Know the date your university sent it. They ask you when you get there so that they can check for it.
What happens is that Your transcript is used to legalised your degree certificate. Without it, your degree is not legalized.
You can contact me on LinkedIn as Ogbodo Jude.
Thank so much.
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 Can we connect? I got admission letter from the same university.
Thank you always please should the affidavits used to get the attestation of age be authenticated at the ministry of foreign affairs or just the attestation that we want to legalize alone should be authenticated.
Both of them should be authenticated
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 okay thanks

Hello
How are you doing today
Please i have some questions sir/ma
1. Iam finding it very difficult to get accommodation for me and my 11 years old daughter
2. As a single mother whos not married yet, do i need to present any singlehood certificate?
3. The authentication to be done in Abuja, is it done on the original certificate or colored copy of it
4. My school is starting by october and am yet to submit for visa yet , will this affect my visa result ?
5. What is this year total IPREM am to show in my account with me and my daughter ?
Thank you sir as you help me answer my questions
More blessings 🙌
1. For your accommodation use Idealista website or book air bnb. It's also advisable if your school can provide you with an accommodation option temporarily till you find a place after arriving. Also explore your school Facebook groups. Also don't fall for scams
2. You may need that since you have a child and you are sure no man is going to Spain with you. Also, provide the child's birth certificate
3. Original only
4. It won't affect it. Once you submit, you will get a response in 3 weeks or less. You can also resume like 3 weeks late and it's okay
5. For you 7200,
your daughter 50% of 7200.
That's it
Please how long will it take after legalization for them to give us date for submission of visa application..my legalization date is in February and I don’t live in Lagos so I want to know if I’ll wait in Lagos or I’ll just go and come back 🙏🏾🙏🏾I need answer please
Start emailing them for the visa date, one week before your legalization date. So you can get a date close to it, after your legalization. That's what I did and got a week gap between legalization and visa date
How was the process sis any update yet
Please can undergraduate or language school student brung dependants to Spain?

Search for DKV health insurance online. It's one of the many health insurance you can use. Go for one year plan
Hello, a follow up question please. I wrote to the embassy for appointment for Legalization. I live in Abuja but they didn't specify the location for the appointment. Do I need to specify the location or I can just go for the appointment? Thank you
It's only in lagos
Hello, it's me again. Please a question about the medical certificate for the legalization. From the email I got from the embassy, medical certificate is to be translated to Spanish. But you said they only accept their own sworn translators, how do I get one please?
Their translators are in their website, you can also ask the Email that sent you the message
please how did you apply to the university before visa application can make video on that please
I used a scholarship not directly to the university but to the scholarship
Hi Grace and Jude please can i use Aiico insurance company to get my Travel Medical Insurance? As one going for Spanish study Visa if No, please let me know the names of the insurance company to work with.
Thank you.
Any insurance company in Spain is good to go
I was told I can use Aiico insurance, they are accepted by Spanish embassy and all European statea
Then go ahead with it.
Okay, thank you for your time.
I would like to know if the AIICO Medical insurance was accepted during your visa application, I would like to use them too
Hello sir
Thank you so much for the guidelines through my process
I am haply to announce that I have done my authentication and ready to submit for visa
But am scared of a document
1. My police clearance certificate will expired on September 13th which i already authenticate and my resumption is October 21st and I haven't got to visa stage yet
Do I submit it like that for legalization and visa or I should rather do another one?
1b. Do you think I have time for visa with this short timing?
2. I was told It is best to proof a ties back home and for that I authenticate my landed property papers to submit too
Is it a good advice to submit them or embassy does not need that?
2b. If yes I have to submit them
Do I need to also legalize them ?
3. Iam self sponsored and i have a business which is registered and I paid tax too to proof my funds
I already authenticate them cac ,tax cert ,etc
Do i need to legalize that too or just submit for visa only ?
1. Once you legalize your police character certificate, it won't expire until you submit your visa. Make you it's valid during legalization
2. Yes, it's a good thing. But make sure someone is sponsoring you or you have enough money for all the school fees for and living expenses for the whole time
Go with the land document for legalization, have the money available, incase they want to legalise it. It will be their choice to Add it or not
3. Your proof of funds does not need legalization actually
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 I appreciate your kindness and quick response to my questions always
More blessings sir
I can't wait to be in spain soon ❤️
nice
Thank you
Considering that police clearance and medical certificates expires after 3 months, when do you think it's best to go for legalisation and not be late for visa issuance for program starting tentatively on 1st September
Get your legalization appointment before you do any of them.
I got a full funded scholarship from my state government ( Enugu State), Do Spanish Government or Embassy accepts such scholarship?. Any explanation will help.
Yes they do. Hope you have the required documents. Make sure you translate it to Spanish. They will also consult them to confirm the scholarship too.
Congratulations on your offer.
Greetings, how many months will money be in my bank account before I can printing the statement of account
At least 2 months, the longer the better
Thanks for reply please i have another question. As undergraduate student how much should be in my statement of account before printing it out. Thank you
The living expenses per year is 7000 euros.
Using last year rates
Also, I just collected my legalized documents today, can I apply for my visa first and when approved, apply for my wife so we can move together or it has to be at the same time
Same time is the best and easiest
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 thank you
Hi, hope this meets you well. Please how much is the fee now per document? I believe I saw it's almost 70k, it that correct?
And how long did it take from the day you submitted to collection?
Yes that's correct 70k now
Thank you for the information. The transcript to be sent to the Spanish Embassy is it Hard or Soft copy? You mentioned email address. I am confused. Please help clarify. Thank you.
Email copy to the legalization email address
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 Thank you
So legalisation is only done in lagos? Is there visa interviews? If yes, does it take place in abuja or only lagos too?
No interviews
Only documents submission in lagos
Please Do my university need to send my statement of result or just transcript? And is the email same and the one you stated to book appointment?
Just transcript only to the embassy
Hello, Grace and Jude
Good evening, sir 🙏....
Thank you for the great work always and for helping me navigate through this journey ,
Please, I have some more worries
1. My school sent me another letter of admission stated on it that i will start classes online and I can join them physically until January 2025,
Will it help my acceptance chances or i should defer my admission ?
2. I was suppose to go with my dependent 11 year old child and i was told her birth certificate will take 2 months to be verify, which will make me 2 months late for traveling after not meeting up with my class already now, so i decide to leave her behind and do my application alone due to the time frame I have left now to join class till January 2025, i want to later sent her invitation to join me when am on spain 🇪🇸
Is this a wise idea ?
3. Do you advise me to book a visa ahead of legalization or after legalization have been done?
4. Please, i seriously need contact for documents translation into spanish 🙏
Thank you, and God bless you sir 🙏
Contact me on Facebook if you have not done the translation
You have to leave your baby behind if you need to work as a student
You can always invite her but she has to come with an adult or you go back home and pick her

Could you please provide guidance on finding more affordable accommodation in Spain? The least expensive studio I have found so far costs between 550 and 1000 euros per month in a shared space. This seems costly, especially when considering the country's minimum wage. As an international student planning to come to Spain for my master's degree, the accommodations I have come across are charging excessive fees for accommodation reservations needed for applying for my student visa at the Spanish Embassy. I cannot afford to pay the above amount per month for a shared studio apartment in Barcelona. Initially, I thought I could find a place for around 300 to 350 euros per month within my budget, but it has been difficult to find. All the residences my institution connected me to in Spain are charging a minimum of 550 to 1000 euros, which is far above my budget. I really need to obtain a certified booking for accommodation to apply for a student visa as it is a requirement.
Same with mine 😢
I'm hoping the embassy has a positive approval rate for student visas. My university requires full tuition payment or a 50% deposit upfront. Unfortunately, they mentioned that €2,000 enrollment fee is non-refundable from the tuition deposit that will be paid if the visa is refused by the embassy , which is a cause of concern for me considering the amount is huge .
Because these EU Schengen countries always refusing Africans visa even students if they meet the requirements . It’s a big cause of concern going through all theses processes and getting huge sum to lost if they don’t grant visa .
Honestly the upfront expenses is too much… I’m asked to pay full tuition and still get accommodation
Thanks

No body is asking you to explain anything. Just show that the money is available for you and if it is yours by being in your account. That's a strong POF

Also, I already have my transcript with me, does it need to be sent by my school again to the embassy for legalization?
Can I go with the authenticated one ?
Yes your school must send it to the embassy before your legalization
Ok

If you have a student job and work upto 30 hours per week. You may be able to pay it. But first, it also depends on your tuition fee balance. Please start learning the Spanish language as soon as possible

I have a question. I got a scholarship to study at the university of Granada for a masters. I’m currently undergoing the pre registration process, is the process before u are admitted? And does he result of ur pre registration affect ur scholarship?
No. If you have been admitted and given a scholarship. That's it.
The rest is a normal process of registration
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 I think I’m being to anxious. Thanks. Coz I have not yet received the official admission letter but just the certificate of scholarship and a few necessary documents for the visa application. The university is doing the pre registration on my behalf so I don’t understand what that meant.
You can ask them,
If you would also receive the admission letter separate from the scholarship letter you already got
The scholarship letter may have the admission letter written in it too
@@Grace_judeogbodo386 thanks, will definitely do.
Pls can I legalize my documents online since I’m not in Nigeria ?
No you can't. Send someone to do it for you
Thank-you for always responding to my questions
Please help me out on this sir
1. If iam to book an accommodation without knowing when the visa traveling time is
How do I choose a date for booking
Do I use school resumption or a week before date?
2. If I do not book accommodation and leave the money in my account for them to see
Will that affect my visa result?
3. The transcript by mail from my school which of the emails do I need to send to ? Visa or legalization email ?
4. The money I have in my account as proof of funds after the visa process is done
Do I change all to euro and carry along or leave in naira and get to spain ?
5. How do I pay for accommodation online?
1. School resumption date
2. Accommodation is an important part of the visa process. Usually, the school should help you with this because finding Accommodation from outside Spain can be problematic. But you have to try to give them something to work with
3. It is to the legalization email. Tell your school
4. If you have your visa, you can change all to euro, because the more you keep in naira, the value depreciates and you know you need euros since you are traveling not long after.
5. Paying for accommodation online is done with your card. But BE VERY CAREFUL OF SCAMS. This accommodation part is always problematic so try to use an account with less money in it for the transaction.
I wish they allowed students to come in and look for accommodation themselves physically
Pls guys, i have an urgent question. Firstly, thanks for your tips on how to prepare for the Erasmus Mundus interview. I have been awarded the scholarship. I applied then with a related masters transcript to get the scholarship. The school i did the masters is yet to release the certificate. How do i go about the authentication and legalisation processes? Kindly help pls. I have a short time. Thanks
Congratulations on your award
Do you have the transcript of the related masters
Do you have the transcript and certification of your undergraduate degree
You can use the ones you have for the authentication and legalization
The certificate certifies that you have graduated
While the transcript lists the courses you did as well as certifies that you have graduated.
So you can use the transcript since the certificate is not ready yet
Yes, i do.@@Grace_judeogbodo386

Is the authentication of WAEC for only school requirements or Spain embassy ?
Embassy
Hello sir, in the requirements sent to me by Embassy, I saw that I can submit my degree certificate or Transcript, and also, my transcript should come directly from school.
I have requested my school to send the transcript to the embassy.
My concern is..
I sent my documents for authentication and on getting to Abuja, the person said I have to send down waec certificate again and that my school also need to send message to the ministry of foreign affairs confirming that my certificate is genuine.
All these will take time because my legalisation date is 28th of this month..
My question is, can I just go ahead with my transcript and other documents that have been authenticated?
Also, I'm just planning my marriage, and I intend to apply for my spouse after my visa has been approved so we can go together. Is this doable, please?
You don't need WAEC for an MSC or Ph.D. visa.
WAEC authentication FOR those going for BSC in Spain.
If you can legalise your marriage certificate at the same time with other documents. It's best for you.
When you leave, it's harder to process it for your spouse
