If you need to pay admission fees, you can buy dollars and deposit into your dollar card or use a virtual dollar card you can fund with Naira or crypto currency to make the payment. Certainly you have to buy at black market rate for that purpose.

Thanks

Bobomaigida:


Presently, you can't use naira cards to pay for admission application fees, one of the other options is to get a dollar card and fund it your self to make the payment(I guess this is why you were told to get FX from the parallel market to fund the card because CBN does not allocate funds for such purpose)

If you have a trusted person overseas they can help you pay while you give then naira equivalent after negotiation on the applicable rate which might not be as high as parallel market rates, but you must be absolutely sure you trust the person so they do not go behind you and initiate a chargeback.

Regards

Thanks

Hello, please how do you guys go about converting your naira to dollars.

The Bureau De change guy just charged me 700 naira per dollar. If I am to go this route my money will not reach what I expect it to be.

I bought the dollar to open a domiciliary account, but I am beginning to think this isn't how you guys go about doing yours.

Please help

Please can someone help

Kehmy:


I initiated the application 4th of July, and it moved to the ADB disbursement reviewer stage, they debited the service charge, waited for a month but did not get debited for tuition, went to the branch, and was told that the transaction was declined from the head office, that they only process applications for bachelors, masters, and PhD. I called the customer care line and got the same response, I have a record of the call.
They did not reject the application on the TRMS portal but left it untreated.

What bank is that?

Hello, which portal did you use for your second time application?

johnstan:


Your source of funds would not be the challenge here, what you would be expected to do is explain the inflow if it's not a usual inflow into your account, that's where you will need receipts to explain it's a loan. Be careful with forging receipts cause a crazy VO might want to verify it and if it's figured to be fake you know the consequences.

Good luck

Thanks it's legit, so you mean I can proceed?

Gurus in the house please help out

Ocool good day, if my sponsor takes a loan and indicates it in the letter of sponsorship or LOE, would it affect my chances with the Visa officer?

And should I explain it in my letter of sponsorship or letter of explanation?

Thanks

Ocool:


Well, I used GcKey not because of anything but because it allows a document upload of up to 4MB, while the new portal only allows 2MB. So, a large document reduced to 4MB will definitely be clearer than 2MB.

However, apart from the above, I learned here that none is better than the other in terms of fastness and nature (positive or negative) of decision.

Thank you
