Goddys:


I have a reason why I ask since you are going for undergraduate programme.

I reached out to a school and they prefer someone between age of 17-24 for undergraduate programme.

Some of us that already heading to 30 may find it difficult getting admission in some schools. I am looking towards master degree but expensive. The only reason I love Vietnam schools is that they are more focused on getting their students to be market ready. For postgraduate, students undergo 4-6 months internship within the one year period.

Ok. FPT accept any age for Bsc.

Goddys:


Please what's your age. Are you going for undergraduate degree? Have you paid your tuition?

Master degree tuition in Vietnam is equivalent to 4 year undergraduate tuition.

Are you expecting me to tell you my age? lol.

I have not paid tuition fee because I never get the money. Area dry.

techjeff:
@AZUBIX
For me, FPT University gave me admission and I have 1 month to pay the tuition fee na the matter I dey try settle oh, lol. No money to pay but God no go shame us.
Did you contact the embassy if they are open? All the embassies here in Philippines is closed? How can you get your student visa after paying tuition fees?

You will have to pay $1,400 for 14 day quarantine before they process your visa. Yea from this month ending into next month They said international students can come. That will actually depend of our own airport will be opened for international travels.

My people plz make we learn how to appreciate, she has done well to share her experience here.. thanks go you @ why na..
First, I taught I'm gonna benefit but having gotten from her answer that one cannot get a teachin, work permit with HND, I just wana 4get ND look 4 another way...

Buh my question now s, how can international students get teaching in Vietnam as a part-time work since d job market there requests 4 BSC?
K just got it twisted..

If you want to enter Vietnam with work permit, you will need Bsc.

If you can come in with student visa, you could get part time jobs.

The major issue is how to come in, how to enter Vietnam. When you enter Vietnam and you have student visa some schools might give you part time teaching position but your pay will be small.
This is just what I think.

zamony:
Did you apply for FPT admission

Yes and they have given me admission. Please recommend some cheaper university to me. Thanks.

The FPT university tuition fee high oh.

Ca4real:

Stop evading there questions. Answer them madam agent.
U brought up the Vietnam story and refuse answering so many questions.
All I see in your story is marketing strategy, lure them to pm u and u become the agent.
That is the simple truth.

Guy, sincerely you sound bitter. A person you don't even know in person and you are bitter over her like this, it's bad.

To me, she has given out every information you will need. Please allow this young lady relax in peace. She is barely 6 months and you wan stress her life like this.

If you feel she is an Agent, please is anything wrong with that? provided she does not scam anybody.

Why not do your own research, discover a country and travel there. You can create your own thread.

Guy she is not owing you and she is not your younger sister.

Enough of all this. No dey show yourself.

zamony:
Hello , FPT no be cheap school but I really like them too... But there are Somecheap schools in Vietnam that their tuition fees per section 750$

Please what's their name let me check them out.

Adeyemi09:


I will like you to shed more light on this area
1) you said Vietnam is Visa on arrival, why then did you go to Vietnam embassy.
2) what role did Vietnam embassy play in acquiring your Visa
3)what are the documents you took to Vietnam embassy
4)please this is important. What is flight fees from Lagos to Vietnam.
Thanks as you answer my questions.

All this things are in the thread. They have all been answered. Just read through and do your research too. Trust me you will love your findings.

@WhyNa seriously i dey jealous you, you are doing well, ooin.

The path of the righteous is guided by the Lord and it shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.

All I can say is more wins. Going through your profile, it's obvious you have fought the good fight of faith lol, researching from one country another, applying and looking out for oppourtinties. You didn't give up, your efforts and hard work deserve a reward and that you are enjoying, surly more will come.

Nne I was almost giving up due to my inability to meet up with my tuition fee with the short time but seeing your post now, surly I will fight on.

Thanks for going ahead and assuring us that it is posible and fruitful. Imagine making in a month what you make in a year in Nigeria. God is by your side.

For the rest of us, lets keep fighting and pushing, God go surly pick our call.

Coolberry:


You took a step. Congrats man.
How much is tuition fee?

The tuition fee varies, some $1,300 depending on the course and whether it's Bsc or masters. Just check them out.

Richdee1:

It depends on your course of study and the program, bachelor's or masters.
But generally, you certificate, transcript and scanned international passport.
Just reach out to them through mail or WhatsApp and they will guild you further.

Richdee1:

Like I have Bsc. in Social work. and its a regulated profession in Canada. Does WES do such or there is a body for that degree like Accounting and all

Abeg no vex what is WES? I dont know about these. Just reach out to the school you want to apply to and they will take it up from there.

Richdee1:
So whyna do abadome us for here.. Make una port to DanielHouston thread oo.. pictures dey rain cat and dog for there.. I don see and laugh tire

Guy you are funny. The Daniel guy has spent 7 year in Germany before creating that tread, @WhyNa is barely 6 months in Vietnam she can not post beyond her experience unless you want her to dish out informations she is not certain about.

She has given us update so far unless you want her to come everyday and post what she just ate or how she brush her teeth. I guess she must be settling into her new job and apartment. Any new update she will surly share with us.

For now, lets share our research findings and ask her questions where necessary.

For me, FPT University gave me admission and I have 1 month to pay the tuition fee na the matter I dey try settle oh, lol. No money to pay but God no go shame us.

Coolberry:
I have a Vietnamese friend. We talk almost everyday. Baba wants me to play Fifa with him online, not knowing how internet matter be for here
I was pained when he said $8 for unlimited data. If I get that kind data enhh
Vietnam is a low income country but they seem to have basic things easy and they're quite satisfied unlike......

Well, he studies at Can Tho University. 4th ranked in the country. If you need some info, let me know here, maybe I can be of help.
Azubix
techjeff

This is great and yes I learnt data is very cheap and fast too.

I will research the school and get back to you if i have questions.

Thanks so much bro.

WhyNa:


Hmmm. Guess the rule changes. It was optional before.

That's quite expensive sha considering accommodation and food is cheap

It's really very expensive. To be patient till next year and use agent is just the best shot.

Let's keep watching how new rules unfold sha.

techjeff:
@ AZUBIX

It is spsad the school will have to recieve the $1,400 for the quarantine and the school fees before process the visa cost so much.

If you add $1,400 plus $4,260 will be $5660 alots of money here. Maybe the school want Nigerian to study online before coming over next year.

Its really too much. Yea. I feel they dont want to miss out on this year's tuition fee so they are trying to encourage international students to do online this year.

Nigeria internet is not the best for online learning at all.

Finally, for those who want to use the study route to go for teaching, the aim is defeated with this. The best might just be to wait till next year and get a agent to help process the visa and work permit.

I just chatted up the school admission rep on WhatsApp and these where his response to me. It also seems its strickly hotel that must be used and you must pay the $1,400 before they start processing visa. Read below...

""""The quarantine fee is used when you first arrive to Vietnam so it will be paid to us (FPT University) then we will arrange that for students
Actually when we receive the quarantine fee from students, we will send it to the relevant authority, we will not keep it
We need to inform the immigration office about your quarantine when we submit documents for visa approval letter from here in Vietnam
So everything must be done before processing visa in Vietnam
We can't process visa if the quarantine fee is not paid, that is decision from the Vietnamese goverment and we also have to follow in my opinion, you should start your online studying first, it is no need to process visa from now, it can be done by end of year (like you said that you will come here that time)
We know this, even our dormitory was donated for quarantine zone 2 months ago, but for now, we can't use them.
It is quite sad for us
I myself can do 1 thing now which is praying""""""

http://international.fpt.edu.vn/fpt-education-announces-september-intake-2020-admission/

This is the link to the update on quarantine and September resumption.

WhyNa:


Azubix, please send a message to the school. Getting quarantined in a four star hotel is optional. If you get quarantined in the military designated zone, it's free

Also, as a student, your working hours would be limited so I don't know the possibility of saving $500.

Just try and do the maths sha.

Great advice, i will ask them about tge military stuff, never knew there could be another option.

Yea. that's true, the work hours will be shorter and might not reach that $500.

techjeff:
@ AZUBIX

Thanks for the reply message.Do the school FPT ask you to pay tuition fees full section before getting the visa? Because the administration guy said l should pay full 1st year tuition fee $3900 with administration fees $200 and health insurance $160 total $4,260?

And also the school told you $1,400 from the Vietnamese government for quarantine for 14 days?

Yes, you will have to pay full tuition fee for the first year plus admin and health insurance but when you get your temporal admission letter, it will come with a fee plan where they will analyse your payment for you.

Yea. The school sent me the link to their blog where they explianed the quarantine stuff.

techjeff:
@AzUbix   
What school did you apply $1,400 said you should paid before getting the visa? I did chat with the school representative on WhatsApp @ FPT University and the University said l most pay first payment before getting a student below 
includes:- 1st year tuition fee: 3,900 USD- administration fee: 200 USD- health insurance: 160 USDTotal: 4,260 USD
Did you add administration fees and health insurance on the $1,400? What names of the school you a

Am actually going for FPT too but the $1,400 is not for the school, its from the Vietnamese government.
It's the Vietnamese government that is quarantining you not the school so you might move from the airport by a government bus straight to a government assigned 4 star hotel for quarantine.

FPT released a blog i think on the 23rd June and they sent me the link. It states that students have 3 options for september resumption.

1. Resume August and be quarantined in a 4 star hotel for 14days in which you will pay $1,400 or
2. Pay your tuition fee and do your first semester online then come over by January or
3. Just wait till January semester to apply but you will pay the normal tuition fee.

To me, option 1 is the best if you have the money because
1. a lot of teaching jobs are available now due to shortage of teacher. The borders might still be closed to tourists till late this year or next year so you can smartly secure a job now and sign a 1 year contract.
2. By January if the border is opened, there will be a lot of rush yet very few jobs because February is one of the worse time to look for job due to the their TET holiday.
3. How sure are we that things will open up by that January, what if the cases worldwide keeps increasing or does not reduce as expected and you are still required to still quarantine and pay the $1,400 lol.
4. If you can arrive Vietnam August/September and you secure a job that you can save like $500 as @WhyNa told us, oct to dec(3 months) you have save $1,500 making back your $1,400 and also settling down.

think about it, think about it. lol.

SkyOne11:

Did u go for it?

I want to. Still sourcing for funds.

Wao, very informative update @WhyNa. More wins. You are really doing a great job.

I love this.

The update I got is that international students might be allowed to come to Vietnam but will be quarantined for 14days which the student will pay $1,400 for and the $1,400 will be paid before getting your visa.

This is getting hard oh, the money much. If you have enough cash, this is your opportunity.

Gabriella247:
Anyone in port harcourt that wants to travel out through Cotonou airport, please message me, their airports are open, let’s plan together. 07081829879

Can one cross the border to cotonou?

1. Vietnam National University, Hanoi - International School.

2. FPT University

3. RMIT UNIVERSITY

These are the 3 universities I focused on for my research, you can find more.

I finally settled with FPT University because they were actually faster in response and follow up. The tuition fee varies, some $1,300 depending on the course.

For Vietnam National University, you will see courses of $1,000.

RMIT is actually costlier but seems to have more international presence, I can't remember their tuition fee.

Finally, this thing is very simple, visit their website by just googling it, read it up thoroughly then chat them up with their WhatsApp number on their website and ask them future questions.

MY JOURNEY SO FAR

Hello, how has the research and every every been? I have a little update for us specifically on my own moves.

I wish to In a special way appreciate @WhyNa for creating this thread and sharing her journey oth us.

Just as she said earlier, there are many ways to enter Vietnam and we know many people will discover many routes. The fact that you are reading this could be a sign that you want to travel therefore I encourage everybody to share their experiences or successes so far.

I want to share on the study route, for those who want to enter Vietnam through study route. I have made some little progress on this regard.

My own research started with finding good but cheap countries I could study In and work and stay back after my study to work. The first place I found was North Cyprus, it was actually cheap but my findings showed that WORK NO DEY THERE OH, NA SUFFER THINGS. I was wise enough to move on. I came across India again and ran away fast because I have researched them some few year back, it's very cheap but no work even for their people talk less of Nigerians and they don't like us.

Finally, I came to Vietnam. My findings was cool, I some some schools and applied while waiting for them, my research brought me to this thread. I focused my energy on trying to enter Vietnam through the work permit route of which @WhyNa's posts and updates have been of great blessing. In May, one of the schools got back to me and that was FPT university in Hanoi its a university that deals more on IT and business courses. I asked them about the visa and everything. They will prepare the visa for you while you get the Visa Stamp at the Vietnamese embassy Abuja.

I asked how much is The visa stamp they said they don't really know that I should contact the embassy. When I contacted the embassy, they said it varies depending on the type of student visa but that it's between 200 to 300 dollar.

Now, this process is very easy and you don't need to ask much questions and you don't need an agent.

1. Research top universities in Vietnam.
2. Get their admission office WhatsApp number. This guys are very helpful through their whatsapp, ask any questions. I always tell the person handling the FPT university admission WhatsApp number that am sorry for my to many questions and he/she will always tell me dont worry just ask.
3. Ask about their support systems. FPT university for example, helps with airport pick up, helps to get accomodation, help you get a part time job at most in 3 months after you arrive Vietnam.
4. Apply and ask if their are scholarship oppourtinties available. Due to this corona virus pandemic effect on the economy, Vietnam education industry dey find student and they are likely to give out discounts just as is happening in North cyprus now. So, if you don't ask they might not tell you.
5. Arrange soft copies of your documents and send to their mail then await their admission/Scholarship report. Note: No school will give you full scholarship, you can only get discounts and trust me their tuition fees are relatively cheap.
6. Make payment and they will start working on your visa which should take not more than a month.

Concerning coming to Vietnam, my school said they are working with their immigration department to make sure they allow international students and professors to enter the country when they open the borders hopefully by July ending so please confirm from your school before making payment. Me I never pay tuition few, I still dey hustle he money but once am ready to pay, I will reconfirm from the school because I need to be sure if I pay Now, I should come over before September.

Also, I don't know of other university but for my school, you get 1 year temporal residence to enable you get a job after your graduation. This to me is cool.

Finally, this process is very easy, you don't need to ask many questions or send me a mail or look for agent as long as study route is concerned, just get the school and the course of your choice, send them mail or chat their WhatsApp number and they will take it up from their.
Their Bsc it 3 years or 4 years those that are 3 years do 3 semesters per year while those that are 4 years do 2 semesters per year.
Masters is 2 years.
Most of the schools are also affiliated to universities in UK, US, Australia

I wish all luck, if any other person is making progress through another route please share too for those who might be interested.

Udo diri anyi.

@Millionstars you are right. But have you ever been inspired by other people's dreams?

Well I have. Don't go back again, let's concentrate on the task ahead, okay.

@ House, I was eventually able to send the introductory video as requested by the institution yesterday afternoon. But the way is still far from the dream, so I'll keep pushing relentlessly. Will update if anything positive comes up as promised earlier.

Modified:

Dear Mr. C....... G....n,

The video was well received and I will inform you if you're qualified for the next phase of hiring process. Thank you.




Regards,



Above is the response I received from the Institution. Meanwhile my chaplet is in the water; praying and waiting phase.

I am in need of your prayers ooo @house!

Guy howfar? Any update base on This?
