obycindy:Hiya @obycindy, again please go through the thread by 1andonly and follow religiously... See extract of his communication at that time, you can leave out the WAEC thing, because the consulate returns it back each time you submit. 1) Send your documents- WAEC (photocopy), School Certificate (Photocopy) and Transcript (depending on your school and what you are applying for) to the Ministry of Education for authentication. Should not cost more than 5K I have a post on the cost above. 2) Take all these documents along with Birth Certificate (original) and Police Character Certificate (no medical certificate needed PCC should be original) to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for authentication. They will place a seal on your documents. 3) Go to WAEC centre at Yaba and request your result to be sent to the embassy. Do not use an agent!!! Do this like two weeks before booking an appointment with the embassy or consulate. 4) Send the photocopy of your certificate to your university so they can stamp it (Certified True Copy Stamp). Fail to do this, like me, and you will set your application back by like 1 week. 5) Send an e-mail to cog.lagos.leg@maec.es requesting an appointment to legalize your documents. 6) Photocopy all your documents including your passport. 7) Go to the consulate by 8:20am. They will open by 8:30am. Struggle to be in front of the queue and submit your stuff on time to the security. Ignore the number thingy the consulate does not recognize that. Pray that no person legalizing marriage documents is ahead of you if not your name na sorry. The process is pretty slow like government bureaucracy. You will understand that even writing your name and details down could be a long thing (of course it is the security guy that will be doing the writing. At some point I felt like collecting the biro from him and writing it myself) Make sure you know how many documents you are legalizing and have the exact figure. They don't give change at the consulate and would send you back if it comes to that and don't think you will form Don Jazzy and leave the change, they won't take it. They charge N1,600 per page. Do all these and your legalization will take you approximately 1 week. Thursdays are only for collections. 1 Like |

obycindy: Usually it take max of 2 weeks if your documents are not going to be investigated, and 2 months if they will carry out any investigation... best thing to do quickly spot out the gaps in your documentation and make sure you address them asap... After which you will apply for visa that takes max of one month (note these are most times it is ready before then)... Just pray that your docs are not subjected to investigation, because this was the most frustrating part for me, since I had no idea about it earlier. 1 Like |

I was only told I would be contacted by the investigators (Lawyers). The money I paid was also to the law firm's account. And I really hope they speed up the whole process. objifeanyi: |

@1andonly Vivian said Its advisable for me to translate the whole of my Police Character Certificate (the three pages). This would make a total of 6 pages to translate as opposed the earlier mentioned 5 pages stated here. She also said other students who didn't translate the finger print page (even though the words are scanty and it looks irrelevant) later had issues as they ended up translating it after their documents were returned during visa processing. This set them back a long time. Please what do you know/think about this? |

@1andonly I saw a room in barcelona and the person in charge said for me to obtain a six month contract i have to pay the first month rent which is 340 euros and 440 euros security deposit and another 250 deposit making a total of 1030 euros for house wen i never see how you see this matter? one other guy said i should pay him 350 euros for him to give me just one month contract. 1 Like |

ManCiCi1: Well if Vivian says so then it is most likely true. I used Rodrigo but I think Vivian is equally on point. 1 Like |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by 1andonly: 1:04pm On Jul 23, 2016 |
tinkagi: I understand the 1 month contract and security deposit. I don't understand the other deposit. You have to be wary as there are many scammers however, I paid 1 month deposit with an extra security deposit for a 1 year contract. You can post the link here if it is genuine, it will speak for itself. Mine was Vila Universitaria in UAB so it was pretty straight forward. |

I am using easypiso.com and housinganywhere.com, but I just got one site from my school uniplaces.com. Still searching for a suitable one. 1andonly: |

Thanks. I got one for 250 euros and 300 euros security deposit. But is 51 min from my school on foot. Will pay for it anyway. 1andonly: |

Thanks so much guys for the intervention. I also want to inquire about accommodation. The International Welcome office of my school (UAB) sent an accommodation certificate and advised that I should not make any payment for accommodation until I arrive in Barcelona. What do you advise guys? 1 Like |

Hello all, what is the Spanish policy of working after Graduation for foreigners? How easy is it to get a job in Spain after graduation. How recognized is a Spanish degree around the world. I would appreciate feedbacks |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by ManCiCi1: 12:14pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
@1andonly thanks much @zendman It's about a month already since you said you submitted your documents, please has anyone (lawyer/investigator) contacted you concerning the investigation thing? |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by ManCiCi1: 12:26pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
I don't think IWP of UAB is in charge of accommodation processing. In their brochure (IWP) they suggested sites you can link up to secure accommodation one of which is Vila Universitaria, they're very reliable and most people on here paid deposits to secure their own apartments. In my case I paid to secure my apartment which also covers the one year contract (a month rent equivalent) and will pay the actual one month rent on arrival. Damola89: 1 Like |

Bros oo please am going to UPC in barcelona can I also get an accommodation using this Vila univer... if yes Pls send me the link. Uniplaces is giving me headache. Booked two places but was rejected by landlord. And the available places are too expensive for me. In fact they are yet to refund my 300 euros. ManCiCi1: |

PLEASE RESPOND IS URGENT ManCiCi1: |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by ManCiCi1: 9:41am On Jul 27, 2016 |
Hello, Vila Universitat is for UAB, they are in charge of housing in UAB. Your University also would have a branch in charge of housing. Yes it could be a little complicated but keep trying I'm sure you'll get a suitable apartment. zendman: |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by ManCiCi1: 9:44am On Jul 27, 2016 |
@zendman Before you make any payment make sure the apartment is very much available. In fact you could request for a confirmation of availability of the apartment before you make payment to be safe. Just my opinion. |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by zendman: 12:38pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
That was the mistake I made. They have refunded my cash to me now. Thank you. ManCiCi1: 1 Like |

zendman: Don't got to Vila it will be very far from your school. I doubt they would even accept you seeing you're not a UAB student. |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by zendman: 12:09pm On Jul 31, 2016 |
At the bolded. 1000 euros per month for my 2 year(24 months) course is 24000 euros, at the current exchange rate that is 24000*392=9408000 in addition to 3 million for my fees. that is like 12 million in total. I only have 52% of that amount with me. Which roughly 6.2 million. But meanwhile my sponsor has far more than that 13 million but it will be unrealistic for me to demand for such an amount or even have such an amount transferred into my account. Anyway I'm going to go ahead and submit my sponsors bank statement and mine bearing the 6 million. @1andonly what are my chances Of securing a visa with what I have in my bank.

Re: Spanish Student Visas by 1andonly: 4:19pm On Jul 31, 2016 |
zendman: I think the consulate calculates it with around 600 EUR per month and will probably use CBN rate for their exchange rate calculation so I think your chances are high even without a sponsor. I don't think the consulate cares about your sponsor if he/she is not your parent or bears a different name from you. So I will advise you calculate with 600, check the official exchange rate for EUR/NGN and augment your account if need be. I think an additional 1.5 to 2 mill should do the trick though and place you on the safe side. Btw your school is quite expensive. Why didn't you go for a cheaper school. There are way more cheaper schools in Spain. |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by zendman: 5:20pm On Jul 31, 2016 |
I am paying 7500 euros for the two years. So i simply converted it using 7500*392=2940000 which is roughly 3 million. though am paying 1870 euros per semester. the four schools that gave me admission charge on average 1700 euros per semester. I had to choose this (UPC) because they added me to list of candidates they intend to consider for a 3000 euro scholarship. Na that one i dey pray for now beside the school profile seems to be very high in engineering. 1andonly: |

Hiya, Please has anyone gotten any info from the embassy regarding the investigation of their docs. I have tried calling relentlessly in recent weeks but no response. I did drop them an e mail though, I hope they respond this time.... |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by zendman: 9:54am On Aug 08, 2016 |
Not at all, I don't even want them to anyway. Have you discussed with your school on the possibility of shifting your resumption date? It seems most schools there are on summer break now. objifeanyi: |
Re: Spanish Student Visas by objifeanyi: 11:28am On Aug 08, 2016 |
zendman: Unfortunately not sure the resumption date can be shifted because most of the students have arrived campus. I just heard from someone that you need an appointment for visa application. I have dropped the consulate an email to authenticate this. May be this is a new requirement as I learnt there is a new Consulate General 1 Like |
