The biggest misconception about Japa is the idea that you must spend millions. It is not. You can have millions to show on your bank statement, but you don't have to spend millions. It may just happen that you only have to spend on the application fee, depending on the category you applied for.

For example, if you are a family member of a European citizen, then you don't have to show your bank statement, submit proof of flight, or hotel, or that you are coming back to Naija, and the application fee is free. You are literally just going to collect a visa without stress. In fact on the Schengen visa application form, it is written there that EU family members should not fill in that area. And the visa must be issued within two weeks at the latest.

And guess what? the embassy cannot deny you. It's against the law. They can deny it in exceptional circumstances such as you have ebola that can infect the public or a serial killer with the hobby of blowing up stations and airports. Even if you have been banned from entering Europe, your status as a child, spouse, or parent of an EU citizen redeems you and invalidates the ban.

If you have any family with an EU passport, you are a lucky child. Just go and ask the embassy for your visa.

But if you do not have an EU relative, then go through school. Don't go as a visitor, you will suffer eh? As a student, you just buy time for yourself like two years or more (depending on degree length, so you can know your way around, and find a legal route to make your stay permanent.

@ David yes it’s possible. I studied and work and with Gods grace I was able to pay all my school fees for my program. The simple truth is if you are focus and have a purpose you will make it but through the right way. One thing I know is Bulgaria is much more safer than those other popular western countries. Please let me clarify something if you come to Bulgaria with a different visa D such as marriage, work visa , retirement and you live 5 year legally yes you can apply for a permanent residency. Kindly note if you come to Bulgaria With a student visa D and you wish to stay back then you have to live legally for 10 years. That’s how it is counted for student who wish to get a permanent residency here. There is a lot of information on the website which you can check on google.
