Was given admission too but was giving 2 week to pay fee of €20,000. This on loud sha....smile

Bro is the 20k for tuition only and then you'd still have to prove a separate balance that shows you're financially stable to live in the Netherlands?

Or the 20k to the university covers every financial requirement to get you the visa and then they'd deduct their tuition fees from it?

Would you know any universities in Netherlands that's still taking MSc applications for maybe November resumption or thereabout. Most universities intake I've looked up are for September and they've closed application for students that require visas. But I hear some schools are resuming studies in November and still taking applications. While I'm still researching, would you know any of these schools?

Thanks a lot for your assistance btw

Accra is really going to cost you a lot. I will advise you plan to travel from there.

Download the MVv collection form.

Fill it.

Take your Admission letter

PDF attached to this email you're reading

Book an appointment in Accra

Print the appointment email too

Do colored photocopies of your passport pages, info page, Visa pages too.

Take Dutch passport at somewhere called Flash photolab at Osu Ghana 50cedis.

Take all of this to The Embassy at Liberation road in Ghana.

If you miss any of this I wrote above you will not be allowed into the gate, not to worry you just have to go get it and come back.

In two days you will get your MVv.

Book appointment for Monday so you won't spend the weekend in Accra

For your Ghana trip , prepare for 2 Corvid tests, Flight tickets, your lodging, and enough Ghana cedis for food and transport.

Budget 250k minimum, to come back to Naija, the expenses might double. double Corvid test, double flight.

Take my post seriously too, it is all you need.

And dealing with West Africa, you wouldn't be a novice when it comes to navigating through some rigorous regulations nobody is actually strictly enforcing. I've always visited Accra regularly, actually I just returned from Accra (stayed only 2 days) where the bulk of your money would normally go is your flight.

I wouldn't advise to go by road rn as this could be very stressful cos of border closures (you'd cross to Cotonou, enter their cab to Togo border, enter another to Lome, enter cab from Lome to Aflao border, and then have the Okada men sneak you into the country. You don't wanna go through this) you'd still be spending like 20k - 30k plus all the hassle. And another 20k - 30k to return with same stress all within a few days no rest (cos u can't "sneak in" by land and leave by air, immigration will hold u at the airport)

Just book Airpeace ahead (cheapest airline you can get if you book on time FROM THEIR OWN WEBSITE) 85,000 naira Lagos to Accra and your return is even cheaper 70,000 naira Accra to Lagos.

Hold 50 US dollars in cash for the rapid test at their Kotoka Int'l Airport. You can either buy dollars from your local aboki or you can do that right inside the international terminal at murtala Muhammed, many forex shops there on the floor and below in the underground too. The airline would request to see this 50 dollars and also your PCR test you did in Nigeria within the last 72 hours (you can choose to pay 35k to some lab and still pay another 50 dollars at Accra airport for another test, or just navigate through the first one as the regular 9ja man would)

When you arrive at Kotoka Airport you use one of their tablets there and submit some health info they ask on their website, then you head to the rapid test section and pay the 50 dollars. So far you don't have covid symptoms, rapid tests mostly come out negative unlike the PCR test that could show positive while you feel very healthy. After some minutes you take your negative result and exit the Airport (make sure to have your yellow card with you on this journey so they don't see reasons to fine you at the airport)

You can lodge in Osu since the embassy you're seeking is nearby and the other guy also told you to take photos somewhere in Osu too. Osu is calm and one of the best neighborhoods you can find in Accra with a lot of Brits and Europeans. I had this low key hotel there that I normally lodge at 120ghc with a/c (around 10-11k). The cheapest you can find for a/c rooms. I can also direct you to many other non a/c hotels of around 60ghc which I think is the lowest you can find for ceiling fans if you're on a low budget. Cheaper hotels aren't always listed on booking websites.

Safe trip bro

@P.desmond,

At least you have done the right things by not asking questions on how to go about application and all. All those things can be very tiring to answer. Now that your issue is about the country where you can study and probably make a living, well here it goes.

The countries in europe that you are able to combine these two things easily are:

Germany
Finland,
Denmark,
Norway
Sweden
Austria
Netherlands
France - Not too sure about their work requirement for foreign students

You would notice i have limited your choice of countries to these ones. This is because these economies are still running well compared to Italy, Belgium, Spain and so on.

So lets take it one after the other.

Germany - Best European economy, very good education, not difficult to find jobs and low unemployment rate. Ofcourse the education is closer to free. The visa, should not be a problem, just go about the information on their embassy website and do exactly what is there, don't add don't subtract.

Finland - Studies is free, the economy is good but they are stopping admission to students from developing countries. This is the situation for this year and probably for years to come. so forget about it.

Austria - Not so much options for bachelors in english. So it is a no no

France - Reallý don't know much about it and have never been. But i guess you can find out more yourself.

Netherlands - As i can imagine, you have done your research concerning tuition and my intuition tells me its on the high side. Since you cannot afford to pay for the entire duration of your bachelors, there is no point risking it. Even though their visa is guaranteed since it is issued in partnership with the school. IF you can afford it, go there but forget about supporting your school fees with work you do there.

Norway - Good country with possibility of part time job, but no studies for bachelors in English even though masters is free

Denmark - I bet you already know tuition is expensive also in Denmark. the only good side to Denmark is that you can work as a student part time and make some money but is it enough to pay your other school fees? not sure of that but you will be very comfortable with the earnings from part time job suppose you are not paying tuition.

Sweden - Tuition is now high and not guaranteed you will get a job.

If you were my brother, i will tell him to do this. (Remember, visa application is not hard work, it is just doing the normal things asked by the immigration)

1. I will choose to attend a country with cheap tuition, for instance, czech? Poland? estonia? and so on... (make sure it is in schenghen)
2. I will apply for an exchange period after my first year. Most exchanges last for 1 semester up to 1 year. Exchange period is free.
3. I will transfer my studies to my exchange school and not return to the home institution. Completely legal and you are just been smart
4. I will earn my degree from my desired country of study.

Now did you see the logic? It is not a difficult thing to do. Since you have some money to utilize for this purpose, you will pay the tuition fee for that country where you first start your studies and live with the money you have with you or better if you can find some job to pay the bills.

That way you have some money to keep for your ultimate plan.

My brother will do exactly what i listed in those steps and end my studies in Germany. Why Germany? Very good place to live and work, free tuition, and learn from the best!

Hope this helps. But remember just my opinion.


Very informative and smart moves

Pls guys I would like to apply for a netherland transit Visa,where is there embassy located in. Nigeria

Dutch embassy in Nigeria do not issue any sort of visas, it's even clearly stated on their website. They're mainly there for other consular services that Dutch citizens in Nigeria might require. If you require a schengen transit visa you only can apply through the French and Belgian embassies as a Nigerian resident. And if I recall correctly, each of those embassies accept schengen visa applications depending on your state of residence (Belgium embassy deals mostly with the northern states) but I don't know if this is still the case as of today.

But why go through the hassle of applying a schengen transit visa, there probably should be alternatives. My guess is you're trying to use KLM airlines and then board the connecting flight to your destination at Amsterdam Airport. Well, the requirements would be outrageous and have you wondering if you're actually transiting through an airport or have mistakenly applied for a permanent stay in the schengen area.

Which destination are you headed? I might be able to offer a better alternative than dealing with the paperwork and interviews that await you.

Yea only France and Belgium embassies issue regular schengen visas. Other visa categories are issued by the particular schengen country the applicant is traveling to.

It's always easier if you're not traveling on a tourist visa to the actual destination, they don't easily believe that a regular Nigerian would wake up and decide to go on a legit vacation (and of all places, so far away to the Caribbeans) So they'd naturally need more convincing if it's a tourist visa you got for TT. I think they would require travel/medical insurance too

But don't worry much if it's a tourist visa you have, there are of course other ways to get to your destination even if they refuse you a transit visa, although TT is kinda a tough one that would require a lot of workarounds, but you can definitely get there without passing through EU, UK or US so far you have a valid visa (yea workarounds may cost you more since we're talking about TT here, other popular Caribbean locations are easier, and also most Spanish-speaking Caribbeans/Central Americas are easier too cos you can easily transit from South America. So for now you hope your schengen transit goes successfully)

Btw if it's a study visa or some other type of long stay visa you have for TT, I believe they would easily grant you the schengen transit without much hassles.

Finland - Studies is free, the economy is good but they are stopping admission to students from developing countries. This is the situation for this year and probably for years to come. so forget about it.

Austria - Not so much options for bachelors in english. So it is a no no

France - Reallý don't know much about it and have never been. But i guess you can find out more yourself.

Netherlands - As i can imagine, you have done your research concerning tuition and my intuition tells me its on the high side. Since you cannot afford to pay for the entire duration of your bachelors, there is no point risking it. Even though their visa is guaranteed since it is issued in partnership with the school. IF you can afford it, go there but forget about supporting your school fees with work you do there.

Norway - Good country with possibility of part time job, but no studies for bachelors in English even though masters is free

Denmark - I bet you already know tuition is expensive also in Denmark. the only good side to Denmark is that you can work as a student part time and make some money but is it enough to pay your other school fees? not sure of that but you will be very comfortable with the earnings from part time job suppose you are not paying tuition.

Sweden - Tuition is now high and not guaranteed you will get a job.

If you were my brother, i will tell him to do this. (Remember, visa application is not hard work, it is just doing the normal things asked by the immigration)

1. I will choose to attend a country with cheap tuition, for instance, czech? Poland? estonia? and so on... (make sure it is in schenghen)
2. I will apply for an exchange period after my first year. Most exchanges last for 1 semester up to 1 year. Exchange period is free.
3. I will transfer my studies to my exchange school and not return to the home institution. Completely legal and you are just been smart
4. I will earn my degree from my desired country of study.

Now did you see the logic? It is not a difficult thing to do. Since you have some money to utilize for this purpose, you will pay the tuition fee for that country where you first start your studies and live with the money you have with you or better if you can find some job to pay the bills.

That way you have some money to keep for your ultimate plan.

My brother will do exactly what i listed in those steps and end my studies in Germany. Why Germany? Very good place to live and work, free tuition, and learn from the best!

Hope this helps. But remember just my opinion.
