Is it bsc or masters u applied for? Please I need to know the documents I need to legalize. I got admitted for bachelors

I applied for Sustainable Development at the University of Warsaw, (MSc) (more of how I applied for this tuition free course in here https://www.nairaland.com/2272115/polish-student-visa/103#93008393 ) and started classes online since October. Applied for visa in November, got denied. Appealed and still got denied. The first reason for my denial was number 9 then and it had to do with my accommodation and unsigned sponsor's letter. The second reason for my denial was that the school accommodation they gave me was not up to one year.
I applied afresh on February 3rd and got visa on March 9th.

Key takeaways of what I did differently:
-I submitted a cover letter
-I used booking.com to reserve one full year accommodation
-I prayed

From my little experience, it is not only by what you submit, it is also by grace and favour. Also it's good to ask questions and join forces with like-minded people that will support and encourage you. I had a lot of them in my corner and to God be the glory, it ended in praise.

No.
You cannot use your HND for masters in Poland, you’d have to go for bsc and I don’t think age is a factor. They really don’t care.

Yes you would need an Eligibility letter.

I still think they all accept Neco, waec and even nabteb. Cos they don’t state it on their requirements.

You should check the schools requirements on their website. Do a screenshot let’s see.

You can even send them a mail.

Otherwise, there are lots of school that accepts Neco Jare.

NwaUdi1:
Who told you that your grade in your BSc is too low for masters? What's is your CGPA? I advise you give it a try and don't rely on heresay because people are good at discouraging others. Even those who graduated with a third class still do masters. It all depends on the school, course and how strong your motivation letter is.

If you are going for a Second degree, then its better you don't mention it to the embassy. You are above 30 and might find it difficult to get a visa because your purpose of going to Poland is not very convincing and looks suspicious. Going for a Bsc degree while you already have one is very suspicious especially from a Nigerian applicant. This is my opinion though.

Please explain more on the cover letter

Pvtpisful:

How did you make accommodation reservations at bookings.com for one year. I have been trying to make reservations but I can only reserve 30 nights maximum

Okerrionome94:


Few questions:
* please throw more light on the cover letter
* you applied three times in three months, how did u do it because I have read on this three that booking an appointment is really crazy at the popish embassy
*how did you notarize your sponsor letter? Did he just sign on it or you took it somewhere else to sign/notarize?
* how much did the allianz insurance cost?
* does this mean having a payslip is more valid than having an account statement?

Okerrionome94:
Guys please do I have to legalize the letter proving that I studied in English and my eligibility letter? Because the only letter I am instructed on my profile to legalize is my waec.

Amanee:


No you don't
Legalize your WAEC alone

Okerrionome94:

Thank u so much. U have been really helpful. Having cold feet but your replies are making me more confident. One last question for now: did u have to present your legalized documents at the embassy wen applying for visa? Or the legalization is just for the school only

petlaz:
Good day guys.
I am staying in Lagos, work in Lagos.

How do I legalise my school certificates without going to MOE and Polish embassy in Abuja?

Okerrionome94:

Must it be in abuja? Isn't there MOE in Lagos?
