Even though no body has agreed to answer any of my previous questions, I’m still going to try.

The translator I am talking said I’ll have to scan the documents to her and when she is done, she will send a soft copy of the documents to me. I know I have been seeing DHL, Nipost etc. Would the embassy accept them?

Also, my school only sent soft copies of my documents. They said policies have changed due to COVID. Did you’ll schools do same? I still ask cos I read somewhere here that the embassy only accepts original hard copies.

Hello,

I'll try and simplify your concerns.

First off, I used to be like you - very terrified about the whole visa process because my first experience with them in 2018 was not funny. They were so uptight and that made me so uneasy. So I carried over that impression into my next visit with them a few months ago. Lol.
Surprisingly, things weren't as I had thought.

With regards to translation, I was equally worried that they wouldn't accept my soft copy print-outs, if that makes any sense. The same thing applied to the documents my Spanish university sent me via email. My translator was agitated because she said the consulate must understand that given the times we're in, it's not easy for documents to be shipped across as before. Therefore, she was hopeful that her digital signature would suffice.

Encouraged by this, I simply printed out the translated documents and took to my appointment (while carrying a pen drive with the soft copies so they can confirm the signature in case they doubted it). Brothers and sisters, there wasn't hesitation or doubt of any sought. They accepted my submission without second guessing.

Based on this, I suppose you should have no worries about submitting original documents, especially the ones from Spain.

Better still, you can email them for more accurate information. Cheers!

Hi there,

I don't know if you've finally visited the consulate. From my recent visit, however, I paid ₦18,400 for each page to legalise my documents. Yeah, I know that amount sounds ridiculous and I'm angry too - haha, but that's the current reality. It used to be 3100 (as I paid in 2018) but things have changed since February of this year.

To investigate your document, I think you can refer to the checklist someone posted on here some while ago. In any case, it depends on where the document in question originates from. If it's from the North, like mine, you pay 80k. And it doesn't matter how many you're investigating at a time, you'll only pay 80k.

I hope this helps.

Hi everyone, I'm joining Nairaland for the first time and I'm glad to go through this thread. Kudos to everyone for keeping this space alive. My name is Ogo. I did my master's in Spain in 2018 and I'll be going back for my PhD soon. So while I have areas of doubts that I hope to be clarified on here, I suppose I can answer some questions based on my little experience. Thank you.
