It's alarming to see tensions escalating between Israel and Iran. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail, and diplomatic solutions can be found to avoid further escalation and potential regional conflict. [color=#f6f6ec]dead plate[/color]

Hello Nairalanders,

I am writing to seek your genuine knowledge and insight on an issue that's beginning to look odd to me concerning my relocation plan to Finland through a work route.
So my story goes like this, My neighbor left for Finland last year September and he has started working almost immediately. After several gisting and all since he got there, I mentioned to him that I would also love to come over since he confirmed that there are nice jobs there. So he told him it was his in-law that helped him with the processing and he could talk to him on my behalf if I'm serious about it. Eventually, he got back to me and told me the requirements and the amount it would cost me. He said he(the in-law) would be the one to help me get the job after which he would start processing my work Visa and Residence Permit immediately. [color=#d8dfc9]dead plate[/color]

The Odd part
Now what's strange to me is that, he claims it is from there they would process my visa and I wouldn't have to do biometric, medical and even interview here in Nigeria. That sounds not right to me because with my little understanding, the Finnish embassy is supposed to invite me for an interview at some point before issuing me a visa into their country. My neighbor claims, it is when I get to Finland that I would then do the biometric and medical and within one week they would issue me my residence permit.

I would appreciate someone with a sufficient experience about Finland processes and understanding about the method of processing visa from abroad to help shed some light to this matter for me.

Thank you

Getting a visa without an interview in Nigeria seems odd. I'd research the Finland visa process myself before moving forward.

I'm a little confused on the right English to use, when someone says do you mind if I sit? do I answer (1) Yes, i do mind (2) Yes i don't mind (3)No i don't mind. please which would be appropriate [color=#d9dfcb]dreadhead parkour[/color]

The appropriate response would be (3) "No, I don't mind." This means you are giving permission for the person to sit down. Saying "Yes, I do mind" would indicate that you do not want them to sit, and saying "Yes, I don't mind" is a bit confusing and not commonly used in this context.

This show brings back nostalgia for me. I remember my mom watching it when I was still a child. [color=#f6f6ed]kinitopet[/color]
