Wow thank you, this is helpful bro... But bro my main aim is to go-to Japan, but I want to go through south Korea bcuz I want to apply for a conference or study visa tho last year I was denied.....

Now I changed my route to Kenya.. maybe work and study in Kenya or from Kenya to Korea then to Japan what do you think bro.... This is the plan I draw out for myself this year... Any advice any tips ,,,

Any plan is good provided that you're not violating any rules or law or trying to use illegal entry. Yours looks like a good plan, I don't know much about Kenya I think the risk is worth taking but usually the safest thing to do while analysing a country that would serve as a transit country for you is, to consider ease of getting a visa to your choice country (to Korea) from the transit country (Kenya). If it is easier and the duration of the Visa is long enough I think you can go ahead with it..
Also check if there are bilateral agreements between Kenya and Korea in any form. I'm saying this because this is something you plan to invest your funds in, so you have to be intentional and thorough while making decisions.

I wish you good luck

Hello dear, which country is best for a Nigerian with low budget use as a transit country before heading to his destination? Ur opinion will be highly appreciated

I'm also in Nigeria and for now my goal is to use the study route to leave the country. I can't give an absolute answer per se but I'm aware some countries give different options like offering you a PR if you're able to invest some certain amount of money in their country (countries like vanatu, and other carribean countries) check out travel blogs and websites they are really helpful. You can also confirm the information you get there on the country's corresponding immigration site to be sure of what you're getting into.

Lol they have some pharmaceutical courses in English. Go to Daad and do your research well. I have seen so many.

I'm not the one that needs the course though.

xclusive1989:
thanks will start the application....hope can DM you if encounter problem along the line

Yes you can

xclusive1989:
if the person is trying to start another bsc.please is it possible to change the course that was graduated from.....cos he's thinking of changing it to health related course.

if the person did a science related course, of course switching won't be a problem but I can't say for switching from management or art to science I would not like to drop any misleading information but science to science is very likely.

I want to advice everyone that is interested in travelling out of Nigeria ,to start thinking out of the box ,most of the embassies in Nigeria are overwhemed with high numbers of applicants ,coupled with a large numbers of fraudulent applicants ,has also made it difficult for them to sometimes be objective in doing their job.

I had alot of experiences with some embassies in Nigeria from Poland to USA,Canada,UK,Mexico ,Italy and South Africa. Most of the time applications for visa was denied without any concreate reasons, but its their country and one as to respect that , the most painful was Mexican visa which was denied because the counsular was not able to contact the university i wanted to attend a Spanish language course,with making any delibrate effort.

If you are fed up with visa denial and wasting money, i would advice you to think of moving out of Nigeria to a less popular country which is visa free or on arrival outside the African continent legally as a student or work visa ,then from there you can apply for a country that is closer in standard to the country you intend to travel to ,if you get the visa go and come back,do not abuse the visa rule it always back fire ,you can now apply for your destined countries based on your preference , use the HDI (countries list of Human development index ) to guide you on where to start from .
You will be so suprised how some countries have empty embassies and how friendly you could be treated if you have the right documents .

In my case i applied for schengen visa from an euroasia country and got it .the process was so easy and what stuck me was the limited docuemntation needed ,because i'm a student ,instead of asking for millions in my bank account ,they simply ask how many days you intend to spend ,if 5 day then you are required to have only 80 euro per day for living expenses ,thats all and letter from your school and 6 months valid legal permit and an hotel and flight resevations.

kindly note most top countries like CANADA and USA both have a very high visa denial rate for Nigerian over 70percent in 2019 ,if in doubt google is your friend ,think outside the box and reduce your chances of wasting your hard earned money .

OP you're a very very wise man. This is what I tell my friends very often. The more they apply and get rejected when they finally realise how much they have wasted both on application runs and crying empty tears they will sit up by force.

Sheyilaw123:
Good day everybody,pls any idea of when Moe, MFA and Italian embassy open for work.
Thanks.

For that of MOE & MFA, let's wait till after 4th of May. Since that's when the lockdown will be lifted let's see what happens after that time if federal parastatals resume that means definitely the ministry will open but you can also ask someone living in Abuja to be sure before travelling

Morgan5555:
Please can some one get admissio into masters degree with HND??

From what I've been seeing here the answer is NO. You can use it to apply for BSC.
the best thing to do is to mail the course coordinator for the course you want to apply to and ask the person they're in the best position to give you an answer rather than getting an answer from here

izzyboi:
That's a good idea, thank you. I'll work towards it

Do you know if there's an alternative country with free education or scholarships for medicine

No I don't

izzyboi:
Wow
Thanks, lemme continue studying in Nigeria then

You can do specialist courses or postgraduate (I don't know what you guys call in your field) in English though. So you can plan towards that.

izzyboi:
Please is it possible to study medicine or health courses like pharmacy in English in Germany. I have my 100L transcripts

I've gone through the https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/en/ and I didn't find any really useful info on this

No matter how you search you won't find it bruh
You can't study Medicine, Nursing or other health related course in English purely German and your German knowledge has to be between B2 and C1.

xclusive1989:
please is it possible for a person that graduated with third class to given admission

Admission into?
Bsc or MSc?
If it's Bsc you will comfortably get. Whereas for MSc it will be tough your chances are almost zero if you're applying for a competitive course with restricted entry but there's a chance you might get if you're applying for courses with open admission entry (no restriction) because your work/professional experience may count in your favour.
Las Las this journey is per head. It is Grace and God's favour that counts so Never say never keep applying surely one will pull through. What may apply to one candidate may not apply to you as no two people have same experience in its entirety.

Deltayankeeboi:
Thanks. I appreciate your reply.

please can you explain what you mean by blocked amount and category B more for me. Thanks. I'm already a 200lvl student here, does it add anything to the process?

It doesn't add to the process. Like I said your 100 level transcript is sufficient you can add that of 200 level if you want. The essence of the 100 level transcript is that's what they use to evaluate you, as you won't need to do Studienkolleg again. Ordinarily one cannot jump from secondary school into BSC with only WAEC in Germany you will have to do Studienkolleg which is tough because it is entirely in German language.
The blocked amount is the money you would use to open a blocked account to cater for your needs for one full year. The money will be released to you in bits on a monthly basis. It is a visa requirement and there is no way around it except you get a scholarship or sponsorship letter. The best still remains BA.
For the category B please visit https://nigeria.diplo.de/ng-en/service/visa/student-research-and-language-course-visa/1015536 and read through for better understanding.

If you are ready to start this journey you need to read and read, travel blogs, study blogs, even previous threads of German students visa to gain more knowledge about Germany and be ready to make research about it. People may not be here to answer your questions all the time so you need to help yourself.

Ciao

Thermodynamics:
will it be needed to travel for a masters programme in Germany?

if yes,
will a notarise certificate be accepted?

where can I notarise it?

You can notarize at High Court or any notary body. Yes, no matter the location you are applying to even if it's not Germany WAEC is required so yes it is needed. It is also part of the documents that is required for visa interview. The school you are applying to would also asked for your WAEC it's an important document.

Deltayankeeboi:
Hello good morning. please I have posted a lot of questions here but no one has answered me yet.

Please I would love to move to Germany to start my education again. Naija is killing my dream.

I'm already a 200lvl student here in Uniben.

I just want to know the basis and all the financial commitments involved please

I await your reply.

I want to start BSC afresh in a free tuition university and a science course.

How do I find a list of universities that are free. I have a lot of questions please

You can use Google and search for the name of the course, the universities offering the course will pop up then you go to their website and do your research or use bachelor study portal. Most public schools are free but when researching also check the fees and funding page to be extra sure. Most Bsc programs are in German language but I am sure you will see a few English taught courses.

Starting now ahead of next year is good. You need to get your 100level transcript ready. I'm sure you already know the Blocked amount is €10236. Also put it into consideration that you might need to use uni-assist for your application.
Travelling to study in another country needs a lot of patience and planning is not something that you can rush into so you need to plan and then take so many things into consideration also remember that since you're going for another BSC you fall under category B so just zero your mind that there will be a long wait for visa interview date.

Acuna91:
Hello house!

Please is it advisable to open. BA even though you are yet to get AL?

This is just to be able to apply for AD early enough immediately I get AL.

Thanks guys.

Yes You can open a BA and wait. You just need your passport for verification. But don't for any reason fund it until you have gotten AD even if you belong to CAT A.

passenger1984:
I appreciate this info, hopefully the Admission list will be finalized by May.
In regards to Italy, your determination is out of this world, congratulations on your full tuition waiver .

Thanks thanks I appreciate, i will try to keep you informed too if I find out anything. For now let's wait and see what happens. Anything I set out to do i like seeing them through till the end. I wish you luck too. God will see us through.

adedipeopeyemi97:
Expecting mail, nothing yet!

passenger1984:
This was their last message
"Please reckon that we will need at least 6 weeks after the deadline to evaluate all application data"

It's been almost 9weeks after deadline, no show!

I applied for SIA since last year December 5 and the deadline was January 31st and they said after 6 weeks we will get a response up till now nothing yet, that's over 11 weeks now...
I have lost patience with the school, they even said we shouldn't mail them at all, like who does that, in cases like this is it not better to just nail the applicants and tell them the reason for the long wait. From a student there she sent a mail to a staff and this is the reply she got. I'm just happy that I applied for the same course but in Italy and they have given me a response. I will follow through with that one. For some reasons I don't think I have the mental strength to wait for this and wait for AD again especially now I'm in cat B

EuroBoy007:
Wow, u're most welcome.



About settling down in Italy...

*Pls try learn the Italian language because here only a few understand n speaks English (the language is very important).
*The weather is OK compared to other parts of Europe. Our summer is always very hot.
*Costs of living is cheaper compared to other EU countries.
*For job opportunities, Northern & Central parts of Italy is more favourable and u should expect €800-€3,500 monthly depends on the job. Some jobs are hourly pay while some are fixed and hourly pay varies between €5-12 per hour while most fixed jobs are €800, €1,000, €1,200, €1,500, €1,800 or more if you do extra hours.
*Accommodation is €120-€500 per month for a room, depending on the city u reside and area.
*Most Italian people find it difficult to associate with foreigners maybe because of the language barrier as many of them cannot communicate in English.

Cheers.

Thanks a lot for the post I would like to keep in touch with you if you don't mind. I have started learning the language though small small. I was initially discouraged especially in the aspect of part time jobs o. But with what you've posted I have a little hope.

Please can I send a mail so that we can chat better on whatsapp.
