Stop wasting money applying for tourist visa. Nigerians living in Nigeria are considered not eligible, as those considered eligible have since gotten a 3rd traveling documents that grants them free access.

Try work. Keep trying work. I dont even advice student route these days. Use Business or work.

When we advise applicants to use experienced Travel & Tour Companies to vet, provide advisory or make applications on their behalf this refusal best exemplify it.

Calm Travels can destroy four of those valid grounds for this visa refusal by providing the best Consultancy that is foolproof.... in some cases with a little as $100 spending's in any of the Nordic country, that justifies your intension of visiting.

If you like load $100k in an account, it does not guarantee ownership, as Nigeria is now know as the forgery haven of Africa. The recent elections has proved it and escalations on the internet by LP followers that the announced president forged his identify (which might be true or false) has not helped the image of Nigeria one bit.

Very soon, it will start affecting a lot of other stuffs.

Try Calm Travels, it will save you a lot of headaches. We tell you the best time, strategic docs, attestations etc to plead your applications.

IT salaries depend on work experience. Employees with experience from 2 to 5 years earn on average 32% more than junior specialists across all industries. And once you hit the 10 years mark, the salary increases by 21% and an additional 14% for those who have crossed the 15 years mark, according to Salary Explorer.

In addition, salaries are higher in the private sector — almost SEK 52,000 compared to remuneration offered by municipal organizations (close to SEK 44,000).

IT salaries also vary significantly across the tech companies. Yubico, Google, Facebook, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) top the salary league in Sweden’s tech industry. Here are examples (SEK per month):

So focus on your core area of competence, let's see how we can help you ride the waves!

Except of course, you are gay! But make sure you pass the test that comes with claiming asylum via gay route.

Once accommodation and food is settled, i tell you much of Europe is so sweet, you'd never want to leave here. However, the first clique of people you meet the first week you land is what would define whether Europe will be sweet or bitter on.
Once you got a job that pays you at least 13,000SEK ($1300) Monthly, you can manage and have a semblance of life, and grow from there!

On no account, should you seek for asylum. Once you do, and they take your finger prints, that is the end of any Schengen Country for you!
Ask question from Companies like us, so you dont solve your migration challenges with quick fix, short gain strategy!

I agree with you on that racism is bad, and stands condemned, but how about we put our home and mindset in order first before even asking strangers to treat us fine. If we treat our selves fine, no body would tell foreigners to do the same.

In my opinion, tribalism is worse form of discriminating, because tribalism has been known to lead to mass killings of the vulnerable.

Mcowubaba:




Racism and tribalism are both bad.
One doesn't cancel another.
I don't really know why people like you and CalmTravels are justifying racism because tribalism exist in Nigeria, very absurd thinking.

It's like saying Swedes can rape because there is murder in Nigeria

Tribalism is not worse than Racism as you may think.
Many European countries do have tribalism and nationalism issues, almost all of them have fought bloody wars with their neighbouring countries or territories that once belong to them.

CalmTravels made it seem like only black people in Nigeria engage in tribalism.

Once again, I'm not justifying tribalism in Nigeria.

Sweden like most western countries have their own problems, it's not some mythical paradise.

The OP is selling market so it's expected he will present Sweden as some magical city without problems.

Now, I'm not saying people shouldn't japa to Sweden.
People should japa to wherever the feel is best for them!

This is Fridhemsplan Metro Station!

Sometimes, you just go to gay pub. Luck might shine on you and a Lez might decide to give you a free ride. I was there sometime last week. Took this really sweet, cute & tall Ethiopian girl home...... Girl later told me she is bisexual and really like men, but for survival sake, she gat to always frequent there.

In the morning i just sharply discharge her before one night stand become living in partner

Funny thing is that you gat to pretend you support queer people...lol.

Something you must understand in Sweden.
* If you sleep with an under aged girl, its five years in jail for you and 10k Euros for her..... please be really careful.
My experience. I was hanging at my favorite pub, when this really cute bae want to have a convo with me, and started telling me that i look young and all that, me mature old cock. Tipsy though, i want to carry the free cookie home when my friend quickly demand to know her age and perhaps see some ID to verify her age. Baby just waka comot. He told me that some girls look out for guys who just came to live in Sweden. These are mainly other European citizens from Poland, Romania, etc. That was when i newly came to Sweden. Be careful, one girl fit use your foolishness buy designer phones & Prada bags. Hold your cravings. Worse still, buy train ticket go Italy, Spain or Greece. You will get it all!

The golden rule here is that if the girls dont look at you or give you sufficient green light to approach, please do not go ahead. She can easily call the police on you.....

Ok. Everyone agrees the ladies here are really starved of sex. Yes. Swedes dont give a shit about that stuff between the legs of a lady.
There are rumor's of a sex party somewhere in Sweden. I live here, i have not seem to located the exact address.

pansophist:


Sex in Scandinavia is basically ¨survival of the hottest¨.

If you have a potbelly, don't give a shit about your appearance, and think you can just dole out cash to girls for fork, then you are on a long thing.

People there have money, they will only fork you when there is attraction. No such things as pay-as-you-go sex, or who-cup.

You want to nack?, just accept that you must be physically responsible by force. This can also be true for all of Europe, not just the Nordics.

It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable" - Socrates.

Before coming right over to Nordic countries, prostitution is illegal. If you are caught, they dont do anything to the lady, its the male they fine or jail. Even ladies look for easy pick on men, so be mindful before you accept to bed any lady. Better go for old, matures ones, sa shame wont allow them cry wolf.

Black and color girls are worse hit by scarce sex. They sometimes ask black guys out. So if you are lucky they hit it off with you

*Updates*

If you are one of those who already booked Consultancy on our website, kindly check your email, review the companies, if they are in Swedish, follow the link and send your cv directly to the email provided by the companies. We have no link to these companies thus we can not influence their pick. They will do a thorough check, and if luck smiles on anyone, they will be picked.

If you are sending your Cv to different companies across different sectors, remember to always customize your experience to suit that particular sector. Dont go send a CV tailored after ICT job search to an Agro company. It makes no sense.

We wish you guys good luck on your job search!

One of the reasons where Nordic countries have some of the highest standard of living and almost nowide gap between very rich & very poor, is their Agricultural section is well developed, even helping countries like Romania, Poland etc to import their farm produce

Same place at Willy's.

Yes Stockholm like most well developed European cities is expensive but certainly worth it and sometimes ok for groceries....

What i bought for $31 (308 SEK).
Mayonaise
Two big loaf of bread
A litre of fresh milk
Five finfer of bananas
4 piece of avocado
A mini crate of fresh eggs.
Three different cheese & MRE stuffs.

For the first one week you come to any Nordic Country, look for this kind of accommodation. They are cheap, used by whites of all social status. Like i said earlier on, no go do big boy for Europe ohhh. Once you go broke, you go understand that most of those people you call friends are an extension of village people..

*Updates*

When you get your visa…

Have enough money that can sustain you for, at least, 4 weeks before you move. Because, it’s not always easy in a new country. You don’t know how the system works and will be discomforted for a while. So prepare well.

If you meet people from your country, they will be more than willing to help you settle down. But they will disappear if you can’t even pay for your meals. Yes, they will disrespect once they found out you are in dire. Best is always to avoid them & Arabs initially. Maybe when you have discovered stuffs yourself and have balance a bit you can socialize. They will cause you the most depression. I understand most of their excuse: Nobody abroad needs more bills and extra luggage. They have plenty headache already, don’t add to it. That's hogwash though, assistance sometimes isnt above money but direction or place holder. However you that is japing should Come prepared.

If you’re going on a student visa, use Social Media to look up other international students in the school and people living around that town… connect with them and ask relevant questions. They are more likely to help.

You can also contact the office of international student affairs in the school and request them to connect you with other students from your home country. They will do this without hesitations.

The people you meet first when you enter a country matters a lot. Be careful the details and private information you share. Be open so people can relate with you but be smart. People send information. Yes, people do lots of informal side hustle to make up short falls in the living expenses.

Be prepared to learn and unlearn. Some of the things you value in your home country is nothing abroad, and vice versa. One thing i must warn you, be original. People will try to force you to live a fake live of you have made it, because almost every immigrant i run into do it, especially blacks & Arabs. I had this experience of an African Arab trying to impress it that he is someone important, while me i am one black monkey struggling to cop. He was shocked how most German babes & guys flock to me. Me i dont dress well ohhh, but when you come close you go understand, as i fit spend $200 on dinner for any person head, boy or girl. One white politely fall his hand by asking if he has started working there, he quickly retorted he is *Volunteering****** Lol. Me body just sweet me small. Since then the Morroccan dey avoid me like say na me ask am wetin he dey do for the facility. Guy na cleaner he dey do! No form pass your self. No follow other immigrants form pass your self, this is a real live story. I kept my originality and made useful Connects citizens of Norway, Austria, Germany & Switzerland. People can smell fake from a long distance.

Land in a popular airport if it’s your first time. You may have a connecting flight to airport closest to your destination, but it’s better to land in a popular airport.

Port of Entry is where your fate will be decided. Your visa is just valid for you to get to that port of entry. Always dont look at the immigration officer. Focus on something else as if you dont give a shit about their fucking country. Dont appear desperate to come to their country. If he is a Conservative he will pour his frustrations of Left politics on you!

Carry African food. Don’t worry about rice and noodles , you will find them abroad. Most processed foods are cheap.

Accommodation. If possible, sort it before moving. But you can sleep in hostels for a few days as you look for a place. Be sure about where you will sleep that first day of arrival. Now, there are lots of low priced hostels....not hotel for you to even sleep for one week. Plan your way & take over your hustle.

Agents or your friend that said they would pick you from the airport may switch off their phones when you land or they’re busy, so plan for that emergency. They usually do. When ever you guys reconnect, they pop up the excuse with a smile and expect you to forget it.

Lastly, make sure you appease your village people, all the local demons wey dey una village........Lol

Calm Travels wish you all the best in your travels.

ICT permits/Work permits
If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland, employed at a company outside the EU/EEA, and are to work at the company in Sweden, you can get an Intra-Corporate Transfer (ICT) permit. This applies to those who are to work as a manager or specialist or are to get practical training with the company. (When you see posts that says "Country outside EU/EEA and Switzerland, Nigeria & other African countries falls under this categorization).

What this means, is that a Company registered anywhere in the world can employ you and send you to Sweden to work. Now, if you live for four years in a seven year period, you get Permanent Residence just like that. This permit is valid for as little as three months for trainees, or 1-3 for specialists. While there, you might change companies if you desire

Swedish visa is the fastest to approve, if all your stories, paperwork add up to your final objective; work or tour..... What lots of people don't understand is that one little innocent mistake can actually cause delays. When working with the Scads, you must be meticulous,

Keep following the thread..... It will get to point when IT details will be posted here.

kingkelvin2033:
You said I will need to come through Rwanda as Europeans don't trust anything coming from Nigeria.

How much is the total package (flight and visa fees+accomodation) needed to migrate to Rwanda.

I'm a Web Developer. With experience in JavaScript, PHP and MySQL.

Also I'm currently upskilling myself into Software Development using Android and Python

One step at a time. Not done with Seasonal work Route.

You have stated the rules guiding those who want to migrated to sweden via the agricultural route (berry picking). What are the rules relevant to an IT skilled migrant?
