Quick one, I just booked flight for my parents Nigeria to Australia. I want clarify if they need a transit visa in Kuala Lumpur. They are just changing terminal and airline from Emirates to Air Asia. Less than 7hours in the same airport. Any idea if they will be needing a transit visa. Pls help. URGENT.

She does not need a transit Visa at all.Immigration Officer in Kuala Lumpur will organized her check-in for her.They will hold her passport,she will be with them,when the check-in start.They will take your mummy to check-in counter and take her back to the boarding gate to board another flight.

What does it feel like to arrive in Australia for the first time?

June 1st, 2019 was my very first time of leaving the shores of Nigeria, I arrived Brisbane, a city in Queensland, Australia for the first time in June 2019. This was the first time EVER, I had been outside my country Nigeria.

The experience was like a dream to me, because it's something I never ever imagined could ever happen following my background. I grew up thinking and believing that traveling/moving overseas was only attainable to a select few elite people. But here I am, debunking my own belief!

I arrived MMA and faced all the anticipated ritual I had read about -the bribery that goes on there. I was determined to scale through without dropping any form of bribe to anybody. I no kuku get shishi. Almost everyone at the Airport feels u are rich and wants a piece of cake from you for doing their job. To stamp your passport, to check ur visa, to scan your bag, etc officers would want you to tip them. But then, they don't know warris going on. I insisted I don't have a dime with me, I remember telling one of the immigration officer that my mother borrowed money to buy my flight ticket.lol. That was how I was able to manoeuvre my way without giving a dime to anyone at the airport.

My flight had 3stops, Lagos-Cairo(5hrs:30mins), Cairo to Abu Dhabi(3hrs 45mins) then Abu Dhabi to Brisbane (13.5hrs). After I boarded the plan headed to Cairo, I couldn't just believe that I am leaving the shores of Nigeria, right there I thanked God in my heart like never before, tears uncontrollably dropping from my eyes, it was like a dream in reality and I can't just explain how God made this awkward dream of mine come to pass.

The journey was smooth and sweet and 34hrs latter I was already on Arrival at the International wing of Brisbane Airport, Immigration officers were totally different from what I saw in Nigeria, they are friendly and thorough. They helped me out with the formalities when I told them it was my first time abroad, and I was a bit scared.

A friend of mine came to pick me up at the airport, once I exited the airport and got into his car, I began to douse in Australia in all its glory. Wider and better roads (compared to what I am used to, in Nigeria), motorists following traffic rules (again, not common in Nigeria), everything so orderly, zero potholes on roads, taller buildings etc. And of course, it was the first time I had been in contact with large number of non-Nigerian in my life.

I got the next big surprise when I got to my friend's house. I never knew that tap water in Australia was fit for drinking, without purifying it first! As in, just open the tap from the wash basin and drink. Even the Airport and public places like library, parks, church, etc had water taps constructed in such a way that you don't need cup to drink from it, you just press a knob and drink directly from it and it's free to everyone..

Australia is unique in the sense that people of different political views can stand in the same queue without fear of violence. Politicians, leaders of businesses, religious leaders and the like do not need to be protected with escorts to the extent that is required in Nigeria.

Since I came here I have never seen any soldier patroling the street only the police. Siren is exclusively reserved for ambulance, fire fighters and the police only when there is an emergency. For the first time in my life I saw a pet ambulance, I saw dog school (yes, a school u take ur pets too for training/learning).


So much more happened in the following days, which I can't really describe here without writing a novel! Getting to understand the terrain, using the public transportation, getting a job, flowing with the ascent,etc. Needless to say, I am still in Australia, and absolutely loving it here!. This is a country that works. Health care is absolutely free for citizens and permanent residents,even if they remove your head and heart and replace with another, u pay $0 for such health service. People with disablity are loved and well cared for, they get support funds from government, nursing mothers and people who are unable to work due to one illness or any other good reason gets stipend from the government . Looking at all these makes me pity for my country. Can we ever get it right in Nigeria?

Happy for you ....pls how did you go about it

Congratulations on your new journey, reality will soon set in, you are less than a year when you discover that your skin color places you at a big disadvantage eye go clear . Enjoy yourself bro

Always typing trash. Same black people have secured jobs in lots of firms in Australia and also in most white dominated countries.

That you fail doesn't mean others would.

both the Sweden and Australia guy should please give us tips

NONNYG:
Awon thread derailers will soon arrive. a.k.a those who think Nigeria is best place to be. Those who will claim they have been to Australia since 80s. Those who will be asking OP questions upon questions about how he got his visa

I welcome you all in advance

I have sighted two of them. That Mizwisdom and bligs. Hehehe those are anti-travel beings. They are always filled with negativities regarding relocation.

They never see the brighter side of relocating from this life threatening country where everyone moves with his or her eyes at the back of their heads.

Your own life work is to go from thread to thread on travel section to post negative comments for people that just made it out of the country. This depressing life you're living no dey carry am come nairaland. I'm sure the OP has people in Aussie making a good life for themselves. That's what he'll use as guide and motivation. Not your useless comments of doom.

Said it since early last year that she most likely was given a life ban from US. With that your odds of getting visa with other countries diminish drastically. So she's stuck in Nigeria. People ignore her thesd days. It's the best thing to do.

You are right. When I see such negative posts, I will do well to scroll pass. They always think most people leave Nigeria cuz of money. Whereas majority of the people that relocate do that to secure their kids futures.

Nigeria is an unsafe place to stay. They never see the many security issues we have in the country. Even if one is doing well financially in Nigeria, he can't enjoy his money with peace of mind. Kidnappers everywhere.

Our security men are another problem we face day in day out, harassing innconent young men every day with so many threats of how they can frame one up and have him killed if he refuses to give them the exorbitant amount of money they demand just because one is driving a good car one bought with his hard earned money he worked for legitimately.

With all these issues, our over zealous anti travel fellows will never see all of that as enough reasons to leave this country for good.

Like you said, ignoring such people is the best.

bytehead333:


Men I feel u. me I just arrived skovde, Sweden 5 days ago. e be like say I day heaven. only its very hard to see Nigerians here and the cold is too much. I can't stay outside for more than 20minutes.

Abeg miss me with your mention, he won't understand my statement not until he start a white collar job or finish school if he's a student and enter the larger society, my statement was meant for the lady i quoted to free the op in order not to be seen as a hater, he will understand her statement later on. Making money doing casual jobs in Australia is nothing, i graduated from one of the most expensive school and i paid my fees without any external assistance likewise a lot of others, ask those that have migrated through PR or those that have concluded their studies, they will decipher the statement a quoted for you.

How does one see a travel thread and the first thing to post there is don't worry, you'll calm down soon or something like that. Which kain dark minds una get sef?

Too common in every single travel thread. USA, Sweden, UK, everyone. I don't know you but that lady that you were grouped along with by that guy has argued in each of those threads. What do you guys gain from these things, I wonder.

I will never advise someone against travelling abroad seeking a better way of life and i have never done that, you can check my previous comments but that doesn't change the fact that the color of your skin will come to play one day either actively or passively. Look at what's happening to Prince Harry, just because he got married to a bi racial woman and my initial post was " them no dey tell person, time will tell" which i literally meant that stop telling people, they will find out at the right time.

You keep talking about skin colour. Here in Nigeria don't we discriminate, use tribe or ethnic background to mock others. What about zenophobia attacks in South Africa, recent hatred for Nigerians in Ghana and Kenya. We are same Africa counties with black skin and yet we Nigerians are been hated.

Once again i have never discourage anyone from traveling and my initial post that resulted into this discussion was to allow the op to explore and discover at the right time.

Nice thread op and congratulations to you. Please what visa category did you travel with and do you have idea if working in Australia will be easy for someone who comes with a Visitors Visa. I am thinking of trying Australian visitors visa. I have travel records already. Been to the US about 3 years ago and i never had any bad record.. Thanks

Australia is very strict when it comes to their visas. You can't work with visitor visa in Australia. No employer will give you a job. If you are caught, it's going to be straight deportation and you will possibly be banned and such employer will be fined.

Employers always ask for job applicants status before even granting them interview. Australia is not like Dubai where people sneak in to work illegally.

Pass through the normal route if you truly want to set your feet in Australia. That's the best.
