How much take you enter Finland from naija?

Reserve at least 8k euro for block account if scholarship nor dey(besides your flight fare)....go to the studyfinland webpage sha to verify all information sha

It is the reason why our brothers in diaspora will do ANYTHING to change this our useless passport, it has done more harm than good...Imagine recently when I arrived Finland, I faced a lot of queries and questions at the Helsinki airport because of green passport, while US/EU passport holders have it all easy....

As per senior man wey you be which country u wan advise say if i go with hardwork ah go make am big time?

Brother learn barbing wella from Naija then come Finland, Helsinki precisely, infact over good for am....Bro ehnn, all the Naija peeps wey dey here for Finland, nobody dey carry better hair style! why? absence of quality barbers...infact lots of Nigerians here barb themselves, make them come testify if I dey lie naa...Like say person create thread like this before I reach here, I for focus learn am wella for Festac come here come find shop....Finally again, if u get alternative plans, observe countries with high black population with a skill like that

Until belle hook Na dat time your knackin go cost money. Oyibo wiked aswear

How Belgium economy?

Finally u make sense...Belgium sharp, economy make sense, but be prepared for a high cost of living, bros ehnn, schengen region ehnn, as your salary dey enter, na so different bills dey come oh, na kill and divide dey help boys if not ...I nor come gree dey buy cloth or wears for Finland, instead I dey buy high quality from China, na so men dey do am from here.

Boss i hail oh! i see where men them the align matter i say make i chooke mauth! Ah the plan luxembourg buh i still dey school, any idea how things the work for there?? E good?

My man ehnn, I nor too know about Luxembourg oh, but as per say na Schengen region, e must make sense, heard they have a good GDP or so, finally life across Schengen territories na almost same thing apart from the big brothers like Germany, Netherlands, France, Belgium...

This just came into my mind this morning while taking my bath....A lot of my brothers and sisters here want to relocate sharparly from Naija, which makes sense considering our current predicament, but please ask yourself carefully what you want in your life...Do you want to just live abroad permanently and never return home OR do you want to make a name for yourself abroad and come back to Naija as a king in any capacity? These questions should influence the type of job you get abroad or skills you should acquire and of course, the type of visa/resident permit...

The grass isn't always green on the other side. Money don't grow on trees abroad like some people are making it out to be. Don't be deceived by people who say they made lots of money within a short period of them moving abroad. Don't be fooled. It takes hard work, focus and the grace of God to make legitimate money abroad. A lot of people are lured abroad by the fairytales they heard of people making quick money there, but when they get there they find harsh and contrary realities staring them in the face. Who no go, no know. Before you jet out of Nigeria, have a compass of what you want to do wherever you're going. Get the right visa type because the life of an illegal immigrant an be very tough ( I'm speaking from experience). My first 'missionary' abroad was nice. I worked hard for three years plus and made quite some money with which I was able to help my family - mom, two older brothers and a younger sister. My second one was hell at the beginning because a supposed friend whose company I was using to extend my visa deliberately decided not use his company to extend my visa any longer because a female friend of his told him she liked me. Mind you this supposed friend of mine was already married to a citizen of the country we were in; and his wife was heavily pregnant at that time. My visa expired because of his unbelievable wickedness. So began my journey as an illegal immigrant. It was tough, men, because the fear of immigration police arresting me on my way to work, at work or at home. Anyways, I worked, prayed, worked and made enough money to set my family up good in Nigeria. I went back to Nigeria, chilled for a while then left for my third 'missionsry' journey 8 years ago. Today, I'm made through God's grace, hard work and the opportunities living abroad has offered me. I pray for radical and positive changes in Nigeria so that Nigerians would start to enjoy life more, and stop running abroad. Sometimes I miss 9ja!

Powerful story...God bless you and your persistence my man...

olujastro:
Your post was interesting until I read where your friend said... "Guy, God don do am for you, no come back this country again".
Is that your plan, to not return on a visit visa? That'll be bad of you. It'll make it harder for other Nigerians to obtain visit visas to schengen.
In addition, Schengen is not the US, no hiding place in schengen. You better not try it. They'll find you and ban you for ten years.

I recommend you visit Budapest, Hungary if you have time. I was there two weeks ago. It's about 2.5hrs by bus from Vienna. You'll fall in love with it. I preferred it to Vienna by far.
It's built for tourism, super cheap and the Hungarian forint is like the naira.
Enjoy

Guy really? I currently live in Finland and would want to a little around cheaper European destinations...I would check if there is any Easyjet flight from Vaasa to Budapest then, I go like buy clothes and things gan from there with higher spending power of Euro

I can say with certainty that the Finnish economy is way better than the Estonian own, however they are making massive strides in IT and are perhaps a little more outgoing than Finns....For their women, I nor know sha I have observed here that because most Finnish men are laid back and socially lacking, their women cling to confident foreigners whether black or white that would do the needful

Mods abeg you fit push this thread go front page make this LIFELESSNESS comot for here abeg? I want more variety and things to start happening...

To the Mod,

Thanks in anticipation

kenevision:
An amazing thread here!

Estonia loading

Estonia just be like Finland little brother....Their taxes are low and living costs are way cheaper than Finland...Even some smart Finns avoid paying taxes in their country to pay it to the Estonian govt instead

Welcome manchii

EMMAACHILE:
Are students allowed to get credit cards? Outside Turku and Helsinki, which other major cities are conducive to students?

I´m not sure students can get credit cards, hopefully more legends in Finland can come and throw more light on this...Vaasa and Jyväskylä are other nice cities too, and of course, Seinäjoki...

Babyvet:
Okay good thing you are waiting till after you get citizenship plus you don’t own an home so you won’t be tied down with a mortgage.

I love to network a lot, recently on a transit flight in Doha, I met a Nigerian who should be in his very late thirties or early forties who told me that as soon as he landed a big job with an International firm in London, he worked for two years, then immediately applied for a transfer back to their office in Abuja...he earns over two million per month now....Why wont life be better with that sum in Naija? compared to here where bills upon bills would suck all one´s earnings....that is food for thought for me though

Someone said something interesting on this travel section, he said if you are important to the white man, he or she has no other option than to agree to your demands, racism dies there, I agree with this...The key is to gather important skills in Nigeria before migrating, we really cannot overflog this issue, I knew of a smart yoruba guy that got International trucking licence in Lagos before relocating to Norway, currently, he drives trucks across the Nordics and is doing very well....

bratan:
Thanks for all your information. Even with the fact that you're the only one responding, you're taking your time to respond to every question. KUDOS!!!

Please what are the admission requirements (financial & academic) for a masters degree program

Firstly, apply for a course closely related or directly related to your BSc, http://www.studyinfinland.fi/ should be your best guide....But make sure you have good scores in your IELTS or TOEFL, then blow their minds with an earth shattering motivational letter...2:1 or 2:2, even third class wey package wella dey chop admission for here...

Lol majority are cleaners? Europe no easy ohh.

Allah, no were easy....Even ask you crew for yankee when be real niggaz, them go clear u as the matter dey go, u gaz enter western world from the bottom and rise up through God´s grace, perseverance and grace!

Babyvet:
Lol majority are cleaners? Europe no easy ohh.

I had been a cleaner myself and can always do it to rack up more cash...There is dignity of labour here and even guys here who are cleaners have properties and investments back home, so dont even get it twisted...

lordally:
Is that your friends cousin in KIEV cos I heard there a jobs in Kiev only

No oh he is not in Kiev...perhaps, but like I said before all my friends are Ukrainians(livelier people compared to Finns), and they have a large community here in Finland and tell me a lot about their country, if you have a better choice pick it over Ukraine

bettyLad:
how did you migrate with your family to finland or rather how did you get your Finland visa. please share more information on this? you mean the only jobs migrants do over there is cleaning jobs?

I came as a student, so I followed the due process of admission etc...truth is this society is racist somewhat but if you can prove your competence in your art, you will thrive...but a large chunk of immigrants here are the cleaners, if you can learn something back home like crane driving or you are a mad programmer, you will thrive here Allah

lordally:
but its harder getting a schengen visa from Nigeria na!!! ...one can get a job only in KIEV while in Ukraine ...uoi can use it as a stepping stone to Europe

I think if you are a footballer or so, it is easier there, because even lower leagues will feed you and provide accomodation and pay some little upkeep fee...Most students and hustlers there sef dey press, if not, OYO.

Ukraine is tough...I have few Ukr friends here in Finland working in farms mostly, they complain how shitty it is, I confirmed it when my Naija friend here in Finland sent 300euros to his cousin in Ukraine to pay his rent....If you can rugged your way into Poland, which is close, then Germany if you can, it is better

Very hard decision to make...Migration has actually broken more homes than we think, anyways if you are willing to do low jobs for a while and lead a peaceful life with your family, I subscribe you come to join us here in Finland. You can start low and build yourself within a short time, as far as you are hardworking. I know of a Kenyan couple here who have five cleaning jobs between them and have a palace of a home back in Kenya, they are still here to grab the last Euros before settling back home....Life is what you make of it Sir.

This OP sha

lordally:
Do dey need work permit for those jobs

How did dey get into Finland?? tru student visa??

Yes work permit is needed....95% of them came via school, so if you are ready, application rounds open again in December.

donnick67:
But like how much must one hold at hand in terms of cash when coming to finland?

I cannot specify but hold as much as you can in order to sustain before you get a job. Finally, they will observe your account wella before issuing you RP or visa

lordally:
what are the Yoruba guys doing ...as in what kinda jobs are they into?? abeg yarn me ooo

Like combining different jobs e.g forklift driving, supermarket loaders etc...Those in the menial line are also amassing work hours and are doing well

lordally:
Bro no worry pple go soon dey storm this place!!! its just a matter of time!!! anyways I dey eye that Germany sha!!! like how much your friends save up to take enter Germany

did they enter tru Nigeria or another country

Ah na big money, because they need blocked account, but guys dey jab bumper to bumper to make up the money within a year self...u know what brought you to Europe na? They went straight to Germo

donnick67:
Good you are speaking up bro... i hope to meet you if i finally land in finland. Na to come hustle oooo

Great...I don position for here. Ideally, I would want more legends in Finland to speak up, if you know how Yoruba guys are making it big here ehhnn, make una come out oooooo
