Yes. You have to direct your alma mater to send the transcript to schools in Norway.

Hello, please the statement of account, must the money be in my account for over 2 months or what they need is just the current balance, because I have someone who want to transfer the money to me, I want to apply to University of Stavanger

The money does not have to be in your account for 2 months. Your sponsor need not transfer the money to you. Just show a closing balance of the required amount. Sure you are aware that if offered admission, you are required to transfer 126,000 nok (N 6.2m - N 6.4m depending on exchange rate) before you are given your visa.

Well I used Kotoka Airport, Ghana back in September and I had no reasons to complain about the Covid test process. I understand the process might have changed since then.

Can I get a job as an illegal immigrant

You will become useless to their country and to yourself as an illegal immigrant. Its not like America that you can pretty much make it as an illegal immigrant.

uchechukwu007:
Quick question. I want to use my guy as a sponsor...he is a Yoruba guy and I Igbo. The guy only senior me with a year....I wanted to state he is my uncle. School requires his date of birth must be placed in sponsorship letter. Don’t know how to go about it? Any advice....urgent answers please.


Can a friend fly as a sponsor?

Its not a problem. Anyone can act as your sponsor.

How much can a masters student be earning while studying in Norway...LLM to be more precise

Students are only allowed to work for only 20 hours a week and not a minute more. LLM or no LLM, you will most likely end up doing non formal jobs e.g cleaner, bartender, washer, kitchen assistant, deliveries e.t.c

My wife is a student in Stavanger and she got a job offer as a cleaner in Scandic Hotel. The work contract stated she was going to be paid 185.15 nok per hour ($20.35 as per today's exchange rate on google but I remember vividly it was $23 on that particular day she got the offer). Eventually, the job offer was withdrawn as they needed people on full time basis but my wife wanted part time.

What a student would earn will depend on the sector.

3 years to get PR. Unfortunately, the time used schooling will not count. Those who go on a student visa and want to get a PR, have to finish their studies, secure a job in their field of study and then change to a work permit. Their three years starts counting from that point.

Getting a job shouldn't be a problem but there are going to be challenges (e.g. Not bearing a Norwegian name, poor or no Norwegian language skills). The ability to read /write and speak the language should make it easier to secure a job. Not possessing Norwegian language skills shouldn't be a problem for those in the IT and Hospitality sectors.

As I speak, the job market in Norway has a lot of job vacancies as pre-pandemic levels after serious job losses caused by the corona lockdown and entry restrictions.

Cherryberry456:
The part you said you can't apply together with your spouse is false. You can apply together with your spouse when applying for student visa. Just that your spouse will have to also show proof of funds and it is the same amount you are required to send to your school. Going first and then applying later for your spouse will take about 6month while still studying

Go back and reread my comment you quoted but slowly this time and point out exactly the part you claim I gave false information.

Lens101:
How long does it takes to have a PR in Norway ?
Can an applicant for MSC go with his or her spouse ? Like Uk ?

3 years to get PR. Unfortunately, the time used schooling will not count. Those who go on a student visa and want to get a PR, have to finish their studies, secure a job and then change to a work permit. Their three years starts counting from that point.

A student can't travel with their partner or family members like UK. He/she will have to join later. Those applying for family immigration cannot even be in Norway while Norwegian Immigration is processing their application.

@ Ririmomeh114

Ask me any question on this thread and i'll be glad to answer you.

odimbannamdi:
What if your transcript arrives after 1st of December? Say ending of December? Will it still be considered?

I doubt it! They abide by the law/instructions to the last letter.

When I applied, the application closed on 10th December and my transcript didn't get there until first week in February (8 - 9 weeks late) despite applying for my transcript since November. I wasn't disappointed when I was not offered admission.

@ So10

Application for most schools end on the 1st of December while a few (e.g. University of Stavanger) closes on 15th of January.

If you have all other required documents and you are sure your school can deliver your transcript (within two weeks) to the schools whose application closes on the 1st of December, do go for it.

Differentiate:
Is their visa hard to get.?and what about the language barrier..? I really like the country I'll be glad if you can put me through.

No one can answer if their visa is hard to get or not. You will never be denied their visa provided you meet their stringent requirements.

firstlady99:
I have a CGPA 3.66 B.sc Entrepreneurial and Business Management can I apply for MSc In Management? Is the course competitive now?

I shared a link on this thread a while ago where you can check the competitiveness of a course (the number of people that applied, the number of people that were offered admission and also the number of people that actually resumed for the course). I can't remember the exact page it was on. Search and you shall find it.

@uchechukwu007
Make the mistake of sending the hard copy you have and kiss your chance good bye. The transcript hard copy must come from your school and not from you. The copy you have with you which I believe is a student copy should only by attached as soft copy when applying on the portal. Your school has to send the hard copy I repeat.

You can use anybody as sponsor provided the amount in the account statement is equal to or more than 126,000 nok and also the person writes a sponsorship letter. The country which the account statement is coming from is irrelevant.

Hello everyone.
My wife is an Erasmus scholar, she is presently in Belgium for 6months, she will be resuming to Norway (NTNU) by January and she will be spending 18months.
We are both Nigerians.
Can you please guide me on family unification requirements and process? how long does it take for the visa to be granted or how can we go about having the visa granted on time?
Thanks

How long it will take before your case is processed (before they issue your visa) will depend on your wife's nationality. Family immigration (reunification) visa processing time for Nigerians is currently 10 months according to udi website. It was initially 4 - 6 months when I applied but was changed in October 2021.

You can never get them to grant it to you on time. They will issue it when they are ready to issue it. Although you can ask for your case to be prioritized but you must have VERY STRONG reasons why they should move your case above those that applied before you. I deliberately emphasized very strong reasons.

If you have children, you must all submit your DNA samples. If not, you may still be required to submit your sample. The test is conducted to verify if there is actually a relationship between you all (husband/wife or father/mother/child). This applies to you if you are citizens of African countries, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and some countries who have poor birth certificate records.

I believe your wife would have sent her living expenses 126,000 nok. You as the spouse will then have to document (show that you have 161,000 nok) in your bank account. You are only exempted from the income requirement if you and your wife are EU citizens.

@Arinze001, see you in Norge.

Its the same thing they did in Lagos @ Ogudu-Alapere expressway corridor. They are just useless!!

WUdec:
87g and 1kg.....largest seizure?


Hahahhaa. Oh Nigeria.

He said in the history of Ekiti State. It may be the largest but of course very small in quantity. I think the headline was jusy put out to generate traffic.

FarahAideed:
87 grams? That very very tiny oooo

Something that is not up to 6 satchets of N20 cowbell milk.

Arinze001:
I've gotten an offer - least prioritized choice. I'm hoping on UiS which I'm yet to receive.
Hby?

Congrats dude! Haven't received anything. If I don't, its Unilag's fault.

Arinze001:
Lol.
Did you put into considerations: NASU strike?
Mine was pretty fast.

That was before their strike. At first, they couldn't find my file. Then to give me Statement of result na wahala.

Arinze001:
I think it depends on how fast your school processes results and how digital they're. If they're kinda fast like Unilag.

Unilag fast? I laugh!!! If I don't get notified that I have been admitted, it will be because of them. I applied for transcript in November, it didn't get to Norway until February.

Thats fast right?

Dumebi213:
Man it's been awhile since i've been here, how have you guys been? I hope we have people who got admission here

@Arinze001 and @cutetj did you guys get admitted?

No I was not or I should say I have not been notified I was admitted but my wife was admitted.

licia3:
Please my husband statement of account is it Nigerian account I want to be sure thanks.

I believe the bank statement should be in the applicants name and the bank should be domiciled in the country he/she is a resident of. So if he resides in Nigeria, the statement of account should be of a Nigerian bank.

Efair12:
@CuteTj
I sent an email already

Just send a direct mail to me. I do not know how sending mails through nairaland works.

@ Efair12

Its in my profile. Pls indicate when you send an email.

@ Efair12

Congratulations!

Now to answer Uis does not have to document for your family. Infact they don't! All you have to do is as you are applying to udi for yourself, your family too sends in their application which involves your husband documenting through his bank statement a sum of Nok 150,129 (273,648 nok - your already sent 123,519 nok).

By doing this, when udi processes your application, they process your family's at the same time. If you're going to be given a visa, they would give your family too the same time.

Initially, I thought I was going to go first then my family joins me later if I was the one admitted but I realized you can all go at the same time. Its the same requirement. So why do you have to wait for nothing less than six months when you can as well go at the same time.

Have you applied for housing?

@ Arinze001

She was offered the course i chose for her as the first choice which is Service Leadership in International Business.

By God's grace, you will be granted admission.

My wife has been granted admission to Uis. Even though Uia and Uit has not gotten back to me with regards to my own application, we will just immediately do a family reunification (which includes myself and the kids) when she is applying for her own study permit. Therefore, I don't mind if the schools I applied to don't offer me admission.

You guys should at least read and digest the news piece before commenting.

I knew I was going to see a sensational headline like this. The media is part of the problem in the world today. Posting a different headline different from the body of the report itself. Knowing gullible people will not read the news itself.

Its not true the Reps refused to adopt the 2014 report. The rep who advised they stepped down the motion for the house to call for the report because it was PROCEDURRALY WRONG for the house as a whole to call for the report when there was already a commitee (Constitution review Committee) saddled with the task of getting the report and had already been working on the report as well as getting input from many quarters.

It was a simple matter of wrong procedure. The intention of the Reps is not to step down the report.

simplePOS:
Source?

FRSC which is in charge of safety on Nigerian roads gave you data, you are still asking for source??

Is it CNN, NAFDAC, Punch Newspaper or Red Cross you expect this sort of data from??

skyblueking:
More questions arising o.

The name used to register my Sim is slightly different from the one I used for my NIN.
What the solution to that?

What about my friend who bought a pre-registered Sim?

Are you a crook?? Thats on a lighter note but why would you register sim A with one name then sim B with a slightly different name from the first sim.?
