I like reading about other countries apart from the UK; US; Canada; Germany & Australia..

we need options for low-income earners like me...

where can one get abt 5-10M that Canada is requesting as proof of fund? U neva talk abt fight ticket oo etc..

so stories from Nigerians that are based in other countries are highly welcome.

So what's the criteria to meet for visa application?

For anyone who wants to migrate to portugal through study. The first thing you should do is to
1. Apply to the school (you must have searched out the school you feel that you can afford) and wait for names to be published. Once your name comes out, then you can the begin the real process.

Next is to
Take all educational certificate to the Ministry of education and foreign affairs (both can be done same day, for those who stays outside Abuja.

When you are thru there, you will then begin with the embassy
At the embassy, you will have to do the verification process when you submit your documents(Result) there. The embassy will send your documents to NUC, then the NUC will then send it to your school, then when the school finishes, the school will send it back to NUC, then NUC will send it to the Embassy. If everything goes well, it is then that the embassy will give you a call to come and apply.

what you need are
1. a valid passport (make copies of the data page when going there)
2. a completed application form (you can watch my video on my youtube channel (How to fill out Portugal visa application )
3. two coloured passport photographs
4. copy of the school certificates that was authenticated(stamped) at the foreign affairs. For those who did their BSc outside Nigeria, you have to get from the country where you finished from
5. Acceptance letter from the school you applied in Portugal
6. Evidence of accommodation in Portugal ( you can go to booking.com and do that, then later cancel it or you request from the school you applied to, they might help you)
7. Proof of financial capability

You can as well go online, all are listed there. You will see all

I hope it helps

I've never experienced one before, since my 3years in Portugal. Never have police even stopped us (myself and family). We have never faced any intimidation of any kind rather they are always ready to help when you call on them. I think, it is because most blacks and even the portuguese are law abiding. In Portugal nobody is above the law. I'm not saying no racist but I've not met one. They are accommodating and friendly. The best is, when you make up ur mind to migrate to Portugal just learn the language

We have other blacks here that speaks Portuguese like the Angola, cape verde, mozambique, guinea bissau. They are many here, so they bring their African food to portugal and they are same with us. I've not seen any Nigerian restaurant but i've heard about one in spain. African food are expensive, we buy once in a while. Nigerians are not really much in portugal smiley smiley smiley

For proof of fund...... I dont know but for students, i will advice that you get the total of your school fees for example, a student who intends to study at universidade de evora.

since you are not expected to pay your fees before applying for your advice. if your tuition is 2500euros/year, accommodation per year 2000euros, then feeding per month is 60euros times 12, put miscellaneous 500euros. convert all to naira and have as proof. I think, that would be considered.

i know of a person who recently(dec., 2021) got his visa. His sponsors acct was having 4million and he was granted.


For tuition fee in Portugal, one can pay installmentally. for example if your tuition fee is 2500euro, you can decide to pay 250 euros every month. Which is very good

Thanks. I have already checked this thread earlier on. My main probs is the language barrier. Majority of schools there teaches in Portuguese.

How to bypass the Portuguese test proficiency is my main issue. I have not seen a clear sample.

When it comes to getting Job in Portugal, its not immediately because you must have to get your resident card before you can work and sometimes it take like 3-4months before one can get. But once you get it, there is a law that states that Master's student can only work for 20hours per week, so that he can study as well BUT some do get a full time job, since covid started most jobs are done remotely and most people take advantage of that. Also note that, some schools in portugal do elearning, like my school(universidade de Aveiro), if you take up a sit-at-home job, its better for you.

IT jobs are also invoke in Portugal, but then your experiences and having certificates also matter. One thing I'm quite sure is that you will get something doing

AS per student staying back after study, I already made a video on it, check out for "Bayobi Show " on youtube. A master's student can stay back only if he has a SUITABLE job, before the expiration of the resident card with him .

Here is the link for the video, I hope it helps

It's not complicated and you can do it yourself, what you need do is to, use chrome. It might appear in Portuguese but when you right click, you can translate it to English.
I made a video on that already, step by step on how to go about applying.
One you have to look out for school which will not be difficult for you to pay and know If you would find the course you want. I'm quite sure this video will help.

Some schools have done the !st phase Application for 2022, Like Universidade de Lisboa, Universidade do Porto, Universidade de Algarve, Universidade de coimbra, Universidade de Evora, IPB and others that i can't but you and always wait for the second phase if you want.
But universidade de Aveiro have not done their first phase of application, you can as well be checking their websites for more info.

Note that schools in Portugal interacts with the students by themselves, ask any questions and they would reply you immediately, so it is advisable that you do your application yourself, don't give your hard earn money to anyone

Yes for most masters program its in both Portuguese an in English, however, in a case whereby the course would not be taught in English, it would be started when you are to apply.
Moreso, i'm in universidade de aveiro and my course is only in Portuguese, what i did was to pre-inform the HOD that i'm an english speaker, if i can apply. She told me that it would be challenging but if i can face it. I was given the admission but what she did was that, she informed ALL the prof that there is an english speaker in the class. so all my notes were already translated and sometimes they create special time to summarise the class for me.

So before you apply, you have to check if the course would be in both english and portuguese (masters student). Phd (English).
Check universidade de Algarve, but they just release names today

It's not easy for me because my course is being taught In Portuguese, but for those that it was stated that it would be in both Portuguese and English, it is easier for them Although, they do help me in translation of the notes but...... I have to do extra reading. I answer all my questions in English

As per handwork, I can make hair, one day I made up my mind that I would start the hair making, because it's expensive to make hair in Aveiro, 80-100euros to make braids. I was discouraged when I was told the cost implications. I have to register,get a accountant, pay taxes and the likes, so I did not go further. I'm sure its because I'm still studying, no time for business but when I finish, I might look into that cos we have lots of blacks here, although not nigerians
