Nigeria Visa Application For Citizens Of Maldives: Fill & Download for Free

IntroductionPeople from certain countries need a valid Irish entry visa before arriving in the State, whether by air, sea or land. An Irish visa is a certificate placed on your passport or travel document to indicate that you are authorised to land in the State subject to any other conditions of landing being fulfilled. This means that you will still be subject to immigration control at the point of entry to the State even if you have a visa. You may also need to register with the immigration authorities.Who needs an entry visa?No visa requiredYou do not need a visa to land in Ireland if you are a citizen of the EEA or of one of the countries listed in the table in 'Further information' below. The list of countries whose citizens do not require a visa to enter Ireland is defined in the Immigration Act 2004 (Visas) Order 2014 (SI 473/2014) as amended by SI 175/2015 and SI 513/2015.Who else can land in Ireland without a visa?You do not need a visa to land in Ireland if:You hold a valid travel document issued in accordance with Article 28 of the Geneva ConventionYou hold either a valid residence card 4 EU FAM or a valid permanent residence card 4 EU FAM issued under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015You are a family member of an EU citizen and you hold a document called "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen"Visa requiredYou will need a visa if you are a citizen of one of the countries whose nationals require a visa to enter Ireland. You can find detailed information on the application procedures on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS). It is advisable to consult their website before applying for your visa, to make sure that you have the most up-to-date information. You can read this list of frequently asked questions about visas.Family member of EU national: If you are a non-EEA national coming to Ireland from another EU country as a dependant of an EU national, and you do not hold a document called "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen", you may need a visa when you first travel to Ireland. If you plan to stay for more than 3 months, you should register with the immigration authorities and apply for a residence card. If you receive a residence card, you will not need a re-entry visa for travel into Ireland in future.Types of visaIf you wish to visit Ireland for a period of less than 3 months, for example, on holidays, to pursue a short course of studies or for business meetings, then you can apply for a short stay ‘C’ visa for either a single entry or multiple entries. The maximum stay allowed under a short stay ‘C’ visa is 90 days. If you enter the State on a ‘C’ visa you cannot have your permission to remain in the State extended. You must leave and reapply from outside the State if you want to return.If you wish to travel to Ireland for more than 3 months, for example to pursue a course of study, for work or to settle permanently in Ireland with family members who are already resident in Ireland, then you can apply for a long stay ‘D’ visa for a single entry. If you are granted a long stay ‘D’ visa and wish to remain in the State for longer than 3 months, or beyond the period of leave granted to you by an Immigration Officer at an Irish port of entry you will be required to register and obtain a residence permit.You can read more information about the different types of visas, including tourist visas, business visas and student visas.Transit visasPeople from a small number of countries also need a transit visa when arriving in Ireland on their way to another country. A transit visa does not permit you to leave the port or airport. If you are a citizen of one of the following countries, you will need a valid Irish transit visa when landing in the State:Countries that require an Irish transit visaAfghanistanIraqAlbaniaLebanonCubaMoldovaDemocratic Republic of the CongoNigeriaEritreaSomaliaEthiopia – see also SI 175/2015 (pdf)Sri LankaGhanaZimbabweIranVisa waiver and reciprocal visa arrangementThe Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme allows nationals of a number of Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Asian countries who have a short-term UK visa, to come to Ireland without the need for a separate Irish visa. The Programme has been extended to 31 October 2021.Under a new British Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS), visitors from China can travel freely within the Common Travel Area, (that is, Ireland and the UK, but not the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man), using either an Irish or UK short-stay visa endorsed with 'BIVS'. Since 9 February 2015 the Scheme has been extended to visitors from India. The Scheme operates through a reciprocal visa arrangement, whereby Ireland and the UK recognise short-stay visas issued by the other for travel to their jurisdiction.Re-entry visasThe first visa issued to you is valid for a single entry to the State. If you wish to leave the State for a short period of time you must apply for a re-entry visa. This includes travel to Northern Ireland when you will need a re-entry visa to re-enter the State. Before you can get a re-entry visa you must be registered with the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB).RatesThe standard non-refundable visa application processing fees are:Entry and re-entry visasA single journey visa costs €60 and will be valid for one entry to the State up to a maximum of 90 days from the date of issue.A multi journey visa costs €100 and will be valid for multiple entries to the State up to a maximum of 5 years from the date of issue.A transit visa costs €25.There may also be communications charges in some cases. Information about these charges, and on the fee in your local currency, is available from your local Irish embassy or consulate.Who does not pay the fee?Some applicants are not required to pay a fee. This includes visa-required spouses and certain family members of EEA citizens (including Irish nationals) provided that proof of the relationship is provided with the application. In addition, applicants from some countries are not required to pay a fee. As this changes from time to time, you should check with your local Irish embassy or consulate, or with the Visa Office - see 'Where to apply'.Nationals of the countries covered by the Short-stay Visa Waiver Programme who are long-term legal residents of the UK or the Schengen area will still require a visa but will not have to pay the visa fee.How to applyVisasYou must apply for a visa online unless you are resident in Ireland and applying for a re-entry visa - see below.

Yes, most definitely. One way is to have an integrated school and enrollment is open to all regardless of race, language or religion.A national integrated primary and secondary school system combines and offers various programmes, subjects, curriculum and syllabus ‘under one roof’. A Malay medium stream, an English medium stream, a Chinese medium stream and a Tamil medium stream can be offered in a national integrated primary and secondary school system. If needed, a technical and even a vocational stream can also be included. Just like universities that has many faculties; science, arts, law, engineering, architecture, etc. a national integrated primary and secondary school system also offers many streams and subjects that can be made choices for students to study. Technically, all programmes, subjects, curriculum and syllabus as recommended in the various education reports from 1957: Razak Report, Rahman Talib Report, Cabinet Report, Amendments made in 1988 to improve the national education’s philosophy and the 2000 Education that emphasises on the teaching of ICT, science and technology can be incorporated into the national integrated primary and secondary school system. Even PPSMI and MBMMBI can also be incorporated into it. An integrated school can be organised and run just like a university.Henceforth, let me call the national integrated primary and secondary school system as the ‘new national school system’.The new national school system stresses the teaching and learning of all subjects in both Bahasa Malaysia and English language equally in both primary and secondary schools and it also offers the learning of all other vernacular languages as well as some foreign languages. One can choose to enter either the 'Malay' stream or the 'English' stream in the same school or the other streams that are on offer. The Malay stream, SJK (C) and SJK (T) also offers English language as a compulsory subject as we do not want anyone to be left behind.Bahasa Malaysia shall still be a 'must pass' subject for the SPM national examination.I believe, my proposal will meet all the needs of all stakeholders; parents, students, teachers, administrators, policy makers, lawmakers, activists, NGO and the majority of the comprising Malaysians of all races, religions and culture and ages. Schools need to be transformed but not a revamp.The aim is to produce students who are not just good academically and technically but are also physically enhanced and are equipped with leadership qualities, high moral values, competency and ready to take on the world; in short, a very capable ‘all-rounder’ and a 'go-getter'. We do not want any more 'spoon-feeding' methods of teaching students from primary schools right thorough universities and we want all students from primary schools to those studying at universities and graduates to be bi-lingual, at least.Furthermore, the national integrated primary and secondary school system I am proposing here does not breach any part of the Federal Constitution as the proposal does not call for the SJK (C) and (T) to be closed.Bahasa Malaysia shall remain the main language used in all national schools, both primary and secondary, and all vernacular languages are to be offered in the schools; Chinese, Tamil and English as well as other ethnic languages, as in the case of Sabah and Sarawak. This, to me, will be a 'win - win' solution for all and everyone will benefit from it. First and foremost, being in one place, 'perpaduan' (unity and solidarity) between the different people of the various communities in the country can be best encouraged, developed, built and practised in a national school system such as the one proposed here compared to any program, system or campaign that we have now.All languages, including vernacular languages, are offered as options to students. The teaching of English and Bahasa Malaysia are to be at par, i.e. taught and practised with equal intensity, to meet the aims of MBMMBI. Books for both must be complete and be made available to all students.All pupils and students are to be supplied with iPads and the school will have the complete and necessary infrastructure to support ‘IT learning’ to meet the standards of and be at par with the best world’s school system.Muslim pupils/students attend 'agama' lessons at Sekolah Agama, that's why I did not include that in my proposal. The people from other races and religion may want to organise something for them the same as Muslims do.Scholarships are to be offered for students who excel their studies and selected sports.Smart students are to be allowed to leap-frog from primary three to primary instead of being promoted to primary four, for example.Age for primary school pupils are to be lowered from as young as 5 or 6 years old. Schools should be able to asses them based on their pre-school performance and progress reports.Examinations: UPSR at the end of six years of primary school. Students will sit for the national SPM/’O’ level examination at the end of four (not five) years of secondary school education. Total period from primary one to secondary four is ten years.Special needs schools and classes to be set up - more teachers to be trained in special education.All teachers must at least have a first degree and all teachers must be professionally trained and qualified.The syllabus and curriculum rigour should be tailored according to individual student’s capability. There should be room for gifted students to horn their interests. Gifted students may excel in one area so for that particular subject e.g. a primary 2 student can attend classes for mathematics or science in primary 4. There should be flexibility to accommodate such gifted children.Physical Education must be compulsory for all medically and physically fit students.Literature, drama, public speaking, dance, sports and gymnastics all can be elective activities.There should be more ‘out of the classroom’ activities for students to experience the ‘real life’.We should emphasise on developing and instilling high moral values and exemplary character in all primary school pupils.Students should also be taught how to do projects and aggregate or get relevant information from the internet, newspapers, magazines and books and also, from the public libraries.Further, to prepare reports and presentation via Microsoft Office application programs.Those children who are interested in robotics and computer games programming and Microsoft Office applications can carry out these activities after school hours as ‘enrichment activities’.Those who are musically inclined can be tutored to prepare for ABRSM graded music examination as after school hours as their enrichment activity as well.They can have Olympiad Maths International and ICAS preparatory classes for gifted children.If national schools can organise all these adjuvant activities in order to create a better person in gifted children, it would safe parents a lot of money.A child needs to know the limited resources of the world, and how the unlimited mining, deforestation etc., which made up the traditional economic activities of the world are hurting the planet, and them in the long run. History and Geography must be taught to all.Encourage the young to dream about possibilities, so that there are still trees to count, and to count on. I recommend watching Sir Ken Robinson's talk on TED tv. Help our kids find their element. Stop stressing them out with too much homework, there'll be time enough for that. Don’t make them suffer ‘burnout’ at a young due to being overstressed.Include more sports, movements, and perhaps it's time to consider paying some attention to counseling resources in schools, so that when the kids need to talk to someone, they will have access to appropriate help and support.This plan will require MOE to train sufficient competent and proficient English speaking teachers or perhaps relaxing on the working visa to allow the overseas teachers, such as the La Sallian brothers, teachers from India and the UK, to fill in the gap until we have enough of our own teachers to take over from them. These ‘imported English competent and proficient subject teachers’ from Great Britain, the UK and India may be employed as contract teachers during the transition period.We need the government and MOE to agree on the framework with increasing urgency. We need to give hard evidence not merely perceived emotional benefits why the mastering of English language as necessary in the current competitive world.There are many Commonwealth countries that use English as the medium of instruction in the local/ central/ national education systems, without compromising their cultural or religious identities or values - e.g. India, Maldives, Singapore, Brunei, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Mauritius, Fiji, PNG, South Africa, Caribbean nations, etc. Many non-English speaking medium countries who can afford it send their kids to private schools using the UK, US, Australia, Canadian or Indian curriculum (in English) - e.g. Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Pakistan, Arabs, Russians, Koreans, etc. Let's maintain PENS objective for a broader Malaysian school curriculum in English - with Bahasa Malaysia as the only single compulsory "must-pass" subject.We hope to see in the near future, national integrated primary and secondary school system to be the school of choice for parents and students, surpassing even the standards of private international schools.Therefore, while Bahasa Malaysia’s position and status as the national language is maintained, the mastering of English language will be enhanced and made better. The survival of vernacular and other ethnic languages, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak, are assured.The country may not be able to employ all its citizens in future and it is the obligation of the government to teach, train and prepare students to be able to compete with people from other countries for jobs and businesses globally.The proposal above is aimed at producing bi-lingual students who are not just good academically but are also physically enhanced and are equipped with leadership qualities, high moral values, competency and ready to take on the world; in short, a very capable ‘all-rounder’.This proposed school system is to encourage students to be thinkers, be creative and innovative and I am not suggesting English be made into a second official language in Malaysia.This way, all the ETP/GTP aims and making our country as a 1st World status country and targeting a high income economy in 2020 can and will be achieved with less obstacles.A national school - 2017A single multi racial school - 1946
