Just an FYI Guys it is now apparent the embassy is changing the game a little bit ok . Most likely they are making an attempt to weed out the genuine students from the not so genuine students. The embassy MAY ask a few questions during submission of your docs for visa. Doesn't matter if you are going for Bachelors or Masters . Please be prepared to answer questions. The questions are actually random ok. So it may not be the same for everyone.
In general be sure to know why your chosen course, why your chosen school, why Poland, your sponsor's name, your intent after studies etc ...
No cause for alarm if you are a genuine student ok then these are very simple questions. I would not call it an interview. However, I would suggest that whether you are going for BSC or MSC be prepared. So to my peeps who used an agency or used someone else to do everything on your behalf from admission to documentation. Bikonu I beg you better be atleast familiar with your course , school, poland, your sponsor etc and all the docs that you are submitting. So that you do not get caught by surprise and to avoid stories that touch.


My 10 cents.

Bro I wonder o...
Like I already said, since it's the same embassy that put self sponsor as an option, then I'll give it a shot.

Please note guys the problem with self sponsor is not that you cannot use self sponsorship. The issue is that self sponsorship can get complex and wrap you into a lot of mess if you do not handle it with care. Why? Because when you are self sponsoring you also have to show the source and you have to show continuous access to the required funds you need for your entire studies.

Having A sponsor with employment and using their payslip for example shows the embassy that there will be continuous access to funds needed for your entire studies because this person is a salary earner so there will be consistent income coming in.

Let me enlighten you on why self sponsorship gets complicated ok:

1. If you are self sponsored and you use payslips. This means you currently have a job. Therefore if you are going to use your own payslips, then you have to also accompany that with a leave of absence from work (meaning your boss has to permit you leaving for studies) and you have to proof that your job will still be guaranteed available to u when u return back to nigeria. Then remember that leave of absence has to be a a paid leave of absence because you have to show you will continue earning a salary even while you are away on studies.
You see how complex it gets when you are self sponsored.

2. Now if you are self sponsored and use credit card you still have to some how show how you got this money. Additionally, if you are using credit card and self sponsoring and you show enough money on the card for 1 year for example what happens to the other years of study how will you fund that. Do you see how self sponsorship may be complicated.


3. The one way I have seen self sponsorship kind of work and someone made mention of it here too I think @necz is if for example you if you get a credit card in your name and perhaps get a notarized letter from a sponsor stating within the letter that she or he funded your cc with the required amount. In essence it just helps to show the source of your funds.

Guys self sponsorship can be done but it gets messy if not properly handled as a result lots of denials occur with self sponsorship. Having A sponsor just makes things easier....

I hope it makes sense now..

Thanks for this... Is the sponsor presenting a bank statement and for how many months? Also, like what amount is expected in the sponsor's balance? Thanks

Bank statements are not allowed. Either pay slips or credit cards

Sammypedro18:

Simply put, it's financial documents proving you can afford to live/study in Poland (sponsor payslip and work documents or credit card statement).

I am at the visa application stage sir. My sponsor is a businessman. What is he supposed to do to prove he has the required funds

apharm:

If your sponsor is a business man and does not have a payslip, you can use his/her CAC registration and tax documents. In addition to that your sponsor has to open a credit card account, fund it and request a credit card certificate in his/her name, not your name and you will need to submit the credit card certificate to the embassy along with a notarized letter of sponsorship.

Note: if he is going to put the credit card certificate in your name then he needs to write and notarize a sponsor letter stating that he funded your credit card maybe u can say as a gift ....to establish the source of the funds.

Is there a group for people that applied to UMCS Lublin? Or other schools in Lublin. Please I want to be added

Are there schools that accepts documents for application without legalisation and authentication,I feel before I can finish the legalisation, application deadline go don reach

Hi everyone, I have only Neco result and that was 2008... can I use only that to apply for schools in Poland. I am thinking of the gap... no additional certificates since 2008. Thanks.

Anyone applying to krakow university of economics?

Email the school and explain to them. I got hit with the same thing too when I presented my Uni of Opole offer letter.

Peterkinte:

The school will give you admission, but it will be hard for embassy to give you visa. If you are more than 28yrs and you are going for a Bsc program the chances of getting visa is slim like 65/35... But there is no harm in trying because our grace differs

I helped a friend to applied for accounting

Has he or she gotten admission yet?

I have emailed the school and their response is that they do not issue an invoice for foreign transactions because of the fluctuations in exchange rate, my school is also Opole.. have you been able to make the tuition fee payment via form A and if yes, how did you make the payment?

harcemedes:

martsolo:

For Masters or B.Sc?

If you are applying for A Masters Degree I see no issue with you self financing your stay. Especially if you've worked for a while.

The risk MAYBE associated with those applying for B.Sc. as questions might be raised regarding source of funds, but for M.Sc. naah!

CallmeOla:
Guess I'll just have to give the long shot, a shot. Because at this stage, I can't start going looking for a sponsor. Thanks for the response.

DigitalPriest:

You can check:
Vincent Pol University in Lublin
Medical University of Gdańsk
University of Economics and Innovation in Lublin

Both Lublin schools are relatively affordable compared to Gdańsk and the deadlines are not as close as Gdańsk
