For someone planning to migrate to Finland with two years work permit visa, what is the possibility of survival. How is the cost of living, high or low? How fast can one settle with his/her family? Are the immigration laws friendly? What is the minimum and maximum hourly, weekly or monthly pay? How is life generally in Finland? Is it a place where one can make good savings and send something back home? Please share your experience in Finland.

A job offer is a prerequisite to be issued a visa. so if you have a work permit, then it is presumable that you have a job already. You should be able to survive with the remuneration, depending on your lifestyle though. Furthermore, Finland is a country that respects and maintain the unity of the family, with provisions in place that ensures the unification for nuclear family members.

Finnish immigration law is for the deserved. It is not an easy or hard thing, it is duly conferred to people who are privileged (refugees, students, workers etc) or those who have the right to it (EU citizens, descendants of Finnish citizens domiciled offshore etc). It will be conferred to any individual that satisfies the requirements for the relevant provision.

I lived in Finland before moving away, it is a country that is opposite to Nigeria in every way. They eat their food cold, the weather is cold, the people are white, reserved and generally introverted. It will be incredibly boring for a Nigerian, you can basically go a whole week without talking to someone and I meant it literarily. Living for years without making a single friend is not something uncommon, and yes, you will face microaggressions/racism. To meet people, you need to engage in an activity. If you do sport, weightlifting, etc, it will be a platform that motivates friendship to blossom. Or you join a church/mosque to mingle with Africans. The Naija way of making friends is seen as desperation, a turn-off, and approach with suspicion.

Gorgeous nature and landscape, civility, literacy and a high quality of life is something that is guaranteed if you live in Finland. You can have an intellectual discussion with an average citizen, and although friendships are hard to come by, its everlasting if they do. Hope you make it to Finland.

@krezorn, I am still working on it but I have been assured I will get it

Thanks @ Pansophist, your post is quite revealing. But do you have an idea of the minimum pay per hour, a week or month, and the expenses of an average person with low or average spending life style.
