Thanks so much for the feedback. My sponsor actually resides in Nigeria. My full tuition is sorted. And i have an official letter to that effect. I'm only using the sponsor to cover my living expenses etc. And my sponsor earns almost that amount. Just a few hundred euros short. Is there a chance for me to be given a student visa?

Also I can see someone posted on the group to ask how long it takes. The VFS website doesn't do much justice with regards to that but I went there in person to find out and they said it takes like 2 months. I hope that helps @mavinc4u

Oga Namebdis, it's actually around 1807 euros sir, d 2000 euros can still take one dependant of 150 euros

mavinc4u:


I do not see how much one needs to have in account there? My destination is not belgium but another country, just need to get to Belgium before proceeding to my destination. If you have any information, you can share.

Please is toefl/ielts a requirement for international students in Belgium besides how much must my statement of account reflect for a postgraduate course. Thanks

student visa takes 2 months... tourist i think is less dan a month... just a quick one... why not apply to the embassy of the country you are headed... Belgium are strict ooo... every and all requirement must be met... even with prayer sef... goed luck bro or sis....

student visa doesnt need statement of account but annexe 32 to proof sufficiency... tourist ... i think you should be able to proof you have enough to spend and to take with you on the journey... denk ik... ik ben niet zeker... i am not sure about the tourist thingy

fikki1:


hello...

Its is crucial that you include that few hundred euros shot... it is very important.. a cent less will result in refusal (God forbid), but belgium dont joke with a cent ehn... I will implore you to beat the requirement(finance). If u read the comments on the thread am sure u will see what few hundred euros actually caused us (refusal). please meet the requirement... annexe 32 can be downloaded online... your sponsor will have to be at the embassy with you to defend his payslips and all. Make sure he convinces whoever there that he is capable.. SUFFICIENT SOLVENCY must be written on the legalised annexe 32.. if not my sis no waste time look for another sponsor.

veel success mevrouw

Hello Fikki1

Thank you so so much for the detailed update. I really appreciate your help. My sponsor went to the Embassy of Belgium in Abuja yesterday to fill, sign and submit the Annex 32 form for legalisation. They asked her for some documents which she provided and the official said all was fine that she even overprepared sef; that he would legalise the document. She was told to come back at 3pm for the legalised document. She has given me the legalised annex 32 form. I don't see where it is written "Sufficient Solvency" on the form although it has been legalised. Should I be worried? Or once you have a legalised annex 32 form does that serve as proof of sufficient solvency.

Please advise. Thank you


Requirement for Student visa looks easy but it's more complex than we think. In one of ur post u said tuition is sorted does this means u have blocked some amount with ur school? If it does then the financial attestation from ur school is ok. Please be more precise so veterans like fikki, Namebdis etc can help out. They got Ph.d in belgium visa processing I swear

Beste,
Sorry for the late response...
Truthful, your sponsor wouldn't be told differently, who is going to refuse money?
Check the back of the annexed 32, it should be written there, either in dutch or French and if not and you are very sure your sponsor has such monthly income.... for example: your sponsor should have about 1900x350(assumption it may be more or less) let's say 700k monthly..(salary not biz money ... his salary).
Then you are good to go... but you must include pay slips, statement of account, family structure letter (to know number of dependant) ..(. have forgotten the rest but check online..).when applying for the visa... hopefully with prayer.. you will be granted... if you are refused don't be discouraged... I was refused too..name was refused... Just rectify the problem and apply almost immediately... you will be granted... have in mind no be beans ooo.... but it's still easy.. after all every Nigerian who came follow the same procedure though the money might be different... best of luck sis... all will be fine and don't forget to always pray it's seals shut the bad door...

Happy New month family

Happy New month,

I got this info few mins ago it's not on vfs website, I got it frm home office brussels

What is the amount of resources a guarantor must have? As a general rule, the guarantor must have at minimum: a basic amount of 1.179,65 € net/month. This reference amount corresponds to the income of'social integration fixed in 06/2017 for an adult head of household, 'an amount of 642 € net/month. The reference amount is the minimum amount which a student must be prepared for the'academic year 2017/2018.

It is fixed and indexed each year by royal decree, and an amount of 150 € net/month for any person from whom he has already the Load The minimum base amount + 150 € net/month for any person already in charge of the Guarantor + minimum amount which must be available to a student = minimum amount net monthly which must have a guarantor

So 1821.65 euros at least without dependant, if there's dependant, + 150/dependant.

Pls note: I think they work with net pay not gross pay on payslips

Kind regards

Bestie, happy new month o lol

I have checked the back of the document o. Although it's mostly written Dutch/French, I can't see "Sufficient Solvency". Its just the normal legalisation that they did previously on my other documents. Just that the legalised annex 32 has the name of my sponsor.

I am sure she earns such monthly income. She has given me her payslips, bank statement, family structure letter, docs from work etc.

Amen and Amen, thank you so much for the encouragement. I'll definitely keep praying about it. Please keep me in your prayers too o.

It is well.

namebdis4:
Please if you did not see "Sufficient Solvency".on the Annex 32, don't apply for the visa, look for another sponsor. You will be refuse that visa instantly. That statement is key for the immigration office here to make a decision on you visa application. Whether she earn much or not.. Whether it is on her payslip or not, if the embassy that legalise the annex 32 did not put the statement, the home office will assume they embassy already check her income and she is not in good standing that is why they.. The embassy did not put"Sufficient Solvency". Hence you will be refuse the visa. If you want to get here in Belgium, try to read out experiences above and do not rush. I wish to the best

Adenike88:



I've also seen the picture posted. Mine doesnt have that stamp. But Thank you so much. I've taken note.

namebdis4:
If your sponsor is in Belgium, and the annex is signed in Belgium, it will not carry the statement "Sufficient Solvency". Please may I know the name of your school. Bcus some school are subsidize by the government, hence u will not pay 300 Euro. Note the prise for the additional fee has been increase. It is now 200euro for state institutions and government subsidized institutions and 300euro for private institutions. Thus I can't advise without a knowledge of the institution you are admitted too.

Stanley1109:
Please if my guarantor is outside the country, how do I get the signed annex 32? Do I need to send the actual copy(should he send my regular mail) or he can email the form to me for me to print it out? Because I need it urgently
