I am currently in Nigeria. I want to relocate to anywhere in the Caribbean or to any Island of America where I can enter via a tourist visa and be able to get a job and live without immigration harassment. I was told about Bahamas but when I went online to read, I learnt that the immigration is very strict. Someone also mentioned about Barbados but I don't have any information about how strict their immigration is. I don't also know how to get a job there. I am 50 years old this year but I can work like a 30 year old. I just read about Jamaica this evening but it seems there is no job there. I wouldn't mind to live and work in Jamaica is there are jobs there. I was also told about Dominican Republic but I don't have any information about their immigration policy and job availability
kindly advise me on which of the country in that zone has job and with simple immigration policy. I believe that wages there would be better than going to Turkey for my Msc. I never thought of undertaking Msc until recently when I am seeing it as an avenue to stay and work legally in foreign countries. I have read it here that Turkey has limited job opportunities with little wages but I wouldn't mind if that would be the last option.

I have made up my mind to get out of here. I have been denied visas in USA and Uk visiting. I need advise. Thanks.

Budget : N2m-N2.5m

Honestly, you are better off in Nigeria considering your age and how much you have. How you can invest that money, I really don't know. Maybe treasury bills?

At your age (if indeed you are 50)
You don't have much room to experiment
You have to play it safe
If you were say 24
It's different

That said
In my opinion
Your best bet right now is to settle in a neighbouring African country like say Benin Rep or Ivory Coast /Ghana
Then you start a business there (I hope you have business acumen)

2.5m is more than enough for that

Asides that
Going to the Caribbean or all these far flung places won t help you.

I personally am tired of Nigeria as well
But I'm far younger and I'm trying the Canada route.
If that does not work
Then i will have to settle in another African country or Dubai and start business

Please do not experiment sir
You are too old for that
Play safe
And look before leaping

A visa does not guarantee an income ANYWHERE on earth.

A visa also does not guarantee that they will allow you to enter their country at their airport.

If they are not convinced that you are a genuine visitor or student they will return the person back to the country of origin on the next flight.

At age 50 MOST immigration officers at the point of entry will have serious doubts as to the genuineness of your intentions to actually study as 50 years is classed as middle age when you are expected to have finished ALL your studies including PHD.

Someone I know who was 25 and had a first class degree was granted a course related visa to the UK but was denied entry at their airport and deported back to Naija as the immigration officer was not convinced he was gonna go back after the course and all the money spent was wasted and this was at a time Nigerians were not flooding their embassies with visa applications.

Forget going abroad to start afresh as any country abroad worth going to ALL SHARE INFORMATION about people they have denied visas and you don't want to waste that N2.5m on pursuing a visa that may swallow up N2.5m with no visa to show for it at the end of the day.

Stop throwing good money after bad as the grass may seem greener on the other side but because Nigerians don't tell you the truth about what they do to earn a living abroad, people back home think they are better off going abroad. BIG FAT LIE.

Moreover, at 50 you may be able to compete with a 30 year old mentally but you can't compete with one physically as that is not natural and you don't want to be in the position of Nigerians abroad around 50 years old or older (male and female) who have died of heart attacks whilst at their menial long hour jobs. These guys had no choice as they could not come back to Nigeria empty handed and so without work permits, age not being on their side and overworking their bodies, they died due to over work as the spirit was willing but the body was weak and middle aged as they were over 50 years old or there about.

AT ANY AGE YOU have to think of using your brain to earn a living and not your muscles meaning that you have to work smarter and not harder and at any age you have no reason to leave Nigeria for a foreign land if you can not apply for a Highly Skilled Migrant Visa which is only given (with limited quotas) to people with qualifications AND work experience in fields where these foreign countries have a skills shortage e.g Doctors, Nurses, IT personnel, Engineers, Tax Accountants etc.

Some Nigerians actually got good jobs with Multinational companies in Nigeria and got posted all over the world with their employer handling their visa processes but this happened when they were in their 20's and in your case as being an employee in Naija is not an option the ONLY option seems for you to start a small scale business or a few small scale businesses and see how it goes and forget what people around you may say. Your qualification can not always feed you in Nigeria.

Do you know the number of Nigerians stranded abroad but can not come back home due to shame and empty pockets after wasting their most productive years abroad ?

If it is people around you including family members or your spouse that are making you feel as if you haven't achieved as much, then it is better to avoid their company or relocate away from them to a cheaper state in Nigeria where N2.5m is still big money and can start a lucrative business because if you keep hanging around these so called friends, family, in laws and out laws, and they help you finish that N2.5m you WILL now see human beings for who they really are with their poison tongues.

The same people you spent the N2.5m on WILL turn round and call you lazy.

And don't let fake visa or visa lottery criminals dupe you of your money because a visa lottery is just that - a lottery at times with a one in 14 million chance of winning as evidenced by the limited number of people that win the lotto in Nigeria.

If you know the number of people in Nigeria that can open a business wit just N50,000 you will marvel.

The simplest and guaranteed business you can start with a fraction of that N2.5m is a restaurant / Mama Put or just a pepper soup joint and if it means relocating to a cheaper state in Nigeria to open it then do so before you finish business capital that God has given you on daily living and chasing a visa that does not guarantee an income ANYWHERE on earth.

Finally there are a lot of Nigerians in those countries you want to emigrate to that do not have the equivalent of N2.5 million in their bank accounts both home and abroad combined. Most of the money they earn abroad is used to pay for income taxes, health insurance, rent, mortgage, water bill, Gas, Electric, community taxes, tv licence, travel and all the things you see on TV that makes those countries work and look appealing.

If some of these Nigerians get N2.5 million Naira equivalent in their bank accounts today, a lot of them will come back to Nigeria yesterday.

N2.5 million will not get him an investor visa which costs a minimum of £2,000,000 in the UK and his N2.5 million may just get him a visitor or student visa that does not guarantee him entry at their airport if the immigration officer is not convinced he is a genuine visitor or student.

On a visitor visa, you are not expected to spend more than a few weeks at a time in their country as a genuine visitor who has business to GO BACK TO back in his home country and as a student your working hours are so limited you can not save any meaningful money.

This means he either starts working illegal extra jobs where he will be paid peanuts and runs the risk of being deported as such jobs are routinely targeted in immigration raids or if he comes in on a visitor visa which forbids employment he will be working illegally and after his 6 month visa expires, he becomes an immigration fugitive and this is why some Nigerians have jumped to their deaths through the window when immigration officers knock on the door of their high rise flats.

Age is not on the side of Bros and starting 3 or 4 small scale pepper soup joints with N50k each maybe selling just turkey pepper soup and beer will take his mind of a fruitless search for visa and may just open his eyes to the possibilities in opening a food / restaurant business all be it small scale to start with.

If you see how much Nigerian's spend at beer parlours from Thur to Sunday week in week out you will see what I am getting at.

Op, at your age, ain't you supposed to be married with kids? It's better you think of what to do with that money in Nigeria or in a neighboring African country. Don't make a mistake that you may not recover from, age is no longer on your side. By now, you should be thinking of retiring not looking for a country to go for hustling.
