Another way to live in Europe is through Denmark. You can apply for Denmark greencard, and when granted you can live and work in Denmark with your family and be subsequently granted residency afterwards
It is a point based system as well, you are required to score minimum of 100 points to qualify. You score points on five headings:
1. Education
2. Age
3. Adaptability
4. Language
5. Work experience.

You can check their website for further information: http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/work/greencard-scheme/

However, you are required to have about £8,600 in your personal account, as maintenance fee. You will be granted three years in the first instance, before you can apply for renewal/residency.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have on it.

Shalom.

It is not visa lottery, but a greencard scheme, if you have additional qualification with the HND,or work experience (it is called positive list) you will be fine, as the Danes view Nigerian Polytechnic education as a professional degree. Virtually all courses/graduates are qualify to apply in respective of your field of study.
B.SC will give u 30 points
M.sc will give you 50 to 60 points.
Work experience also counts.

Which stage are you now and how long does all the process take to be approved,where do you submit the application and how do you make the application payment?

israel007: How long does it take

It takes betweeen one to three months before you can be issued your green card/permit resident card. And it also depends where you submitted it.

I have done the biometrics, and it takes about three months.
I submitted it to there embassy in London, and I paid online. Though there is an embassy handling charge of £155, apart from the processing fee.

(3) Can you help me to convert the 8,600 danish kroner to Nigerian Naira. This is the amount that I read in the post one must have in his or her account as living expenses.

Pls do you have european education or Nigeria,those in the middle east applicants is longer than yours.I will to see who have applied from Nigeria,if you have idea i will be happy that you share it as well.Goodluck brother

naijaspeak: Please I have some questions concerning the funds one must have in his personal account and processing fees.

( 1 ) I want to know if one can get a friend or relatives to fund his or her personal account during the period of application assuming there is insufficient money to meet the stated amount being requested? I know this is not in line with the purpose of the scheme and the requirement but the reality in Nigeria creates this kind of issues.

(2 ) is there anything like application fees ( processing fees ) to be enclosed and the amount?

(3) Can you help me to convert the 8,600 danish kroner to Nigerian Naira. This is the amount that I read in the post one must have in his or her account as living expenses.

Yes, you can have a friend/relative to fund your account, since what they require is a recent bank statement showing the amount, however the account has to be in your name, as you can't use a sponsors account. Once you print out the statement you can submit your application, and return back the money.

There is an application fee payable online, you don't enclose cash, but receipt of payment that you generate online. The fee is £670, which is about N135,000, and you pay an handling charge at the embassy, the amount I don't know, because it varies from embassy to embassy or country to country. If you are submitting in Nigeria, I am not sure if Denmark have an embassy in Nigeria, so you may have submit it through the Finland embassy in Nigeria.

£8,600 is about N2.2million.

Please note that the conversion I am using is pounds sterling and not danish krone, as danish krone is 10 to 1 pound sterling.

Yes, I have, but my first degree is from Nigeria, which I used for the application as well. It will interest you to know, several Nigerians are using Nigeria qualifications and work experience to apply.

Yes, you must print bank statement before you apply, as it also forms part of your application.

At the moment, there is no deadline to submit application.

You don't need your documents to be notorized, however you must make colour copies of all the documents you are submitting, and translate the ones that are not in English language.
I was called for bbbiomettrics, which I have done, so waiting for the PR card.
[quote author=debedebe]pls are Danish pple friendly?hope dey r not racist... Also do u know about Czech republic visiting and Torist Visa... Urgent pls
As far I known they are friendly, though there population is not much. However, there is no country that you don't find racist.
Getting a Czech visiting/toursit visa should be easy, but depending on where you live. With an hotel booking in your name and your statement of account, you should be good to go!

Shalom

Thank you very much. Pls do you have friends living in denmark? If yes ! Can you confirm their experience with the Danish. Heard they don't give foreigners job . Can you confirm that as well.

Any green card success story in the house?your experiences would be appreciated

@adonai36-how far with your application?please,I need further clarification on the 10 bonus point u can get if your education qualifies you to work in a field on the positive list.Is it the level of education e.g masters etc or your education has to be in one of the fields?

I heard about this program and i think it works for some but not for all... The truth is, they acknowledge degree's but if you have an European degree its a plus.. The website has a list of schools in its QS rating, which means if your degree is from a school's top 100, you could earn between 50-60 points.. This is only because they need to allow employable hands into their economy... All countries have diverse measures..

Wish you all the very best on this journey, but don't Forget there is an equal amount of racism in every country, higher in some countries than the other..

Am still awaiting their response. I rang their embassy and I was told they have a backlog they need to clear. Though, I have done my biometrics, so I am hopeful to hear from them soonest.

As per the bonus point, all what you are required for is to have a diploma or professional degree in that field. An OND,diploma or NCE can suffice.
