Honestly I won’t advise it. Chile has been good to me but I am not your average Nigerian.

Good evening bro
How are you?

Please, I want to know. Would you advice someone, specifically a Nigerian, to come and study in Chile from your experience in the country.
Is it possible to study and work at the same time and use the income to pay tuition fee. How easy is it to get job as a foreigner?
Are their universities that offer english taught master program?

Lastly, is it okay to bring dependants and can the dependant work?

Thank you for your time

I personally don't know of any organization that offers loans to foreign students outside of Southeast Asia. That being said, a clearer picture of how many percent you got off on scholarship and the province the college you are applying to is located in will be essential. The administrators in the schools can be lobbied to provide temporary opportunities that fit well with your schedule.

Good day, for up-to-date information about visa requirements, I suggest visiting the Thai Embassy in Nigeria website. The complicated part is the NDLEA requirement, which takes a bit of time, so I will get started as soon as possible to make the resumption date. To answer your questions. 1) How is life generally as a foreigner in Thailand? Life in Thailand, as anywhere in the world, is what you make of it. As far as Thailand is concerned, before travelling to the country, it's best to do a little bit of research through internet sources. I have shared some of my experiences in Thailand on this platform. The people are kind and welcoming, especially when you show an appreciation for their culture. There is loads of beautiful scenery, amazing cheap food, and a very safe place for foreigners who respect the laws of the land. 2) Are students allowed to work while studying? Legally, in Thailand, you are not allowed to work on a student visa, and doing so comes with possible deportation. Unless you have your own business, which can be an export business or one that you are controlling back home while living in Thailand, the main job available to any foreigner is a teaching job, and I guess you can imagine that will be difficult to pull off when you are expected to attend classes, especially as an undergrad. 3) How do foreign students take care of expenses while in the country? Foreigners studying in Thailand, outside of obtaining a scholarship to study in the kingdom, are expected to self-fund (that is, money sent from their home country). 4) Is Thailand a good place for a Nigerian to study? In my experience, I will say yes. But again, you have to do what's in the best interest of your long-term goals; the classes are conducive to learning with world-class professors from all around the world (seeing as it's an international program). Your chances of furthering your studies (master's degree/PHD) anywhere in the world are significantly higher, as many of the institutions have partnerships with European and American tertiary institutions. While the job opportunities awaiting you in Thailand after graduation might be limited to teaching jobs at first, you can boost your chances by learning the language and integrating well into the society. There are many of Nigerian descent that has made Thailand their home and are going about their businesses in a harmonious society.

The DTV nomad visa isn't all that it's cracked up to be. As usual, it's a half-baked Thai government rollout without clarification to the public about what the visa entails. DTV holders are still considered tourists, therefore can't legally open a Thai account. A lot of them found themselves in limbo just this last week when the government ordered banks that have been opening accounts for them to immediately restrict those accounts. With the DTV, the holders still have to do a border run every six months (exit and re-enter the country), given that most DTV holders are from countries that are visa-exempt, it just seems like a scam from the government to tax them on income.

PICTURES FROM GREECE

These are some pictures I took when I went to work in a village, Kato Nevrokopi, about 3 hours by road from Thessaloniki, Greece's second city, my base.

As can be seen from the date on the photos, it was in 2020. This was during COVID 19 but when the lockdown was relaxed. I spent about 40 days living and working in this village.

Yes, this is a village in Greece. The roads are like what you will find in places where the rich live in Nigeria. Yet, it's a village you are seeing in these pictures.

Enjoy the pictures...

Good Day bro.
Please is there a way to reach out to you. I want to know more about studying in Thailand and the visa process.
Thank you

As for me, I left for Thailand on a student visa. The process was as simple as just making sure you have a sponsor's letter (with a good statement of account), notarizing your documents, a letter of admission from the school you are applying to, police report, the biggest hurdle will probably be the NDLEA clearance (due to the bad reputation of some of our drug trafficking brethren). I was lucky enough to be accommodated by an agent until I confirmed my admission into the University and lived in the student dormitory.
