And I actually love to be iin Norway not Denmark is there any chance that if I get a Danish visa I could go to Norway to work since there are all Scandinavians. . Thanks all please I need immediate answers

dahonestboss:

I really do not know how you can make it to Denmark, I don't live there, I have never been there and do not intend to go there lol

Even if you get a Danish residence permit/visa, you cant use it to work in Norway even if they are all scandinavians but nevertheless, you can visit Norway for maximum 3 months but not more than that, unless you can switch your residency to Norway, thats the only way.

Since you like Norway, why dont you apply for studies there? Its free to study in Norway and the application period will be starting very soon, check out university of Oslo, I got an admission there but for some reasons I declined it. I hope I helped.

ewere101: thanks man got ur info,but are u really sure that university of oslo is free? u mean scholarships right?

optimusprime2: actually Bulgaria and Romania have recently been included into the E.U, so a Schengen Visa is a requirement to visit.

dahonestboss:


You are wrong.

EU and schengen are two different things, you cant visit Ireland and Uk with a schengen visa even though they are in EU simply because they are not in schengen. Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland are not in EU but you can visit with a schengen permit because they are in schengen.

The government of Bulgaria and Romania respectively granted holders of schengen permit the priviledge to visit for maximum 90days, and there are border controls and entry stamps unlike schengen. Lastly, you cant travel to any schengen country with a visa issued by either Romania or Bulgaria (because they are not in schengen), you'll still have to apply for a schengen visa.

Colemaxgrl:
Hello. Please I have a US permanent visa on my Nigeria passport. Can I travel to the UK without visa? Please I will appreciate honest response soon. Thanks

ghanaman5050:
