Hello, I intend taking a masters program in Spain but my sponsor is in Germany (my brother) pls my question is can my brother use his bank account in germany to stand as my sponsor at the Nigerian embassy?

Theuglygram:
I believe since the both of you all name correspond it should be no problem

Theuglygram:
Please has anyone been to the embassy and if any changes has been made...and how much do I authenticate my documents at ministry of foreign affairs and ministry of education please help a brother out

Josephvixion:

Nothing has changed in the embassy. Legalization in the embassy is 3000 per page. At the ministry of education, it all depends on what you are legalizing. If it’s just WAEC, then it’s just scratch card and about 400 Naira paid via remita. At ministry of foreign affairs, its 1000 Naira per page. Note that you are not to legalize photocopies at the ministry of foreign affairs. If u do so, you would be wasting your cash. Only legalize originals then take the originals to the embassy for legalization before you proceed with photocopies for Visa application.

Authentication at the ministry of foreign affairs takes one day right...as it's I don't have a place to stay there

Successfully applied for my visa on the 3rd of this month. It’s been more than 2 weeks and hv still not heard from them. These people are so inconsiderate.

House I need your prayers and well wishes at this hour abeg. Spain has the most Frustrating consulate in Nigeria.
