Good to know, i believe it will be a starting point since one is not coming for studies. And about germany, i generally heard its tougher if you are not dere on studies as one can hardly get jobs if you dont understand n speak their language.

Secret: people all over europe work under the table before papers fall out, but circumstances differ...anyways, download Duolingo app and use your free time to learn the basics so that you can enter the system quicker in terms of communication.

donnick67:
what's your advice for someone coming into finland through germany and staying back in finland. Also, how easy is getting a work permit there?

If I have my way, I would choose Germany over Finland for obvious reasons, because even Finns admire Germans as they are bigger brothers ...because my guys who are students there change jobs all the time and seem to be doing very well. As for work permit, I think those with menial jobs here use that route to secure it.

hmm nawa o..but is the day to day conversation in Finnish?...how u take de cope?..abi u sabi speak that their nose language?

Omor I been don dey learn am for Naija before I show here, so I nor fit lost las las....we gaz survive

Amy idea on how much I would be needing to move from Ukraine to Finland

Ermmm, check well, I think Ukrainains like doing farm work here, they go through work visa or so

tizzdi:
why do they need ielts if they are not speaking english??..asin am confused ..or is the masters program thought in english?

My brother na the problem, because we speak better English than them even, but most masters are actually taught in English

lightwhite:
can you own a car and employ someone to drive while he pays you a percentage?

Nope I don´t think so....Because you will sign papers with Wolt

bro to get visa of this country is not on earth especially if one no strong ties in Nigeria.
most agent in Nigeria have make life unbearable to people who wish to go by them.

the reason I'm going there is to enable me to even migrate to another country.

Try to find out your chances of getting a job there, because you will not want to get there and then deplete your savings while trying to get to another destination...my advice is to go through the school channel, if you have some decent savings, explore these countries properly: Germany, Finland, Iceland and Estonia...I think I have met a sizeable number of Nigerians doing very well on even menial jobs in Scandanavia

donnick67:
i sent you an email bro.. we need to talk.

okay....

Kingzy4pep:
Is Ielts or any other English test compulsory?

Yes unfortunately. To stand a better position in admission affairs it is advisable to write it or TOEFL or the other one, cant recall the name

starbn:
my brother this why I came to this forum....
because many people are saying its a nice country.it's an island.but I'm looking at possibility of getting a good job equivalent or more higher to what I earn here.
I don't want to make mistake and regret at the end.

That place might just be perfect for tourism and not hustle...please if you must move, come to the Schengen area of Europe or better still, America, Canada or Australia...AT least I can beat my chest to say you will not regret the decision financial wise....even cleaners here have properties in Naija talk less of those with professional jobs or in demand skills

Abeg I no be bro o. I am a lady. Abi I comment lyk man? �

My dear na boredom and loneliness fear me pass in relocating to d abroad. As in ehh wic neighbor house I go dey enter to go gist, chop better afang soup with periwinkles...where d joint where I for go sit down to chop boli and peppered fish. � this life ehhn

My bro u said it all...The people here are something else, always keeping straight faces and look angry all the time. I even start to play ball by the side, this one self nor help...las las we gaz choose wetin we want na? Broke and happy in Naija or rich and lonely in the Western world.

mikeeze:
is Finland a tuition free country?

This is slightly tricky these years...Although they introduced tuition recently, there are abundant scholarship opportunities, and if you have permanent residency, it is certainly free. So explore those scholarship routes wella

Ishilove:
You better stay where you are and don't let sentiments push you to return to this shithole

That is the truth my dear...Even with the anti social life I nor dey come back ni...Before I left Naija, I saw lots of Europe returnees who relocated back to Naija out of sentiments are were regretting their decisions, if you must return, return as a KING....

Wolt Vaasa area now full guys, my friend got an email from them....Let us please put ears on the ground for the next Finnish city they are moving to guys!!

Currently live in Finland, as usual, the basics of life are readily affordable to everyone, both the boredom and the antisocial lifestyle can drive one crazy here...Imagine me straight up from Festac to this cold and unfriendly country, but na Naija wahala make us run...Visited Norway last year, just a little upgrade on Finland...On transit via Istanbul and Doha....Should be in Vienna soon...Naija is bleeped up anyway, run with all your might from there

Instead of Seychelles where your future will be uncertain, why not migrate to Europe or the Americas? If you are hell bent on going there, my brother look before you leap oh, you are earning decently to lead a good life in Nigeria, so analyze this thing carefully....People like us were on the streets of Lagos, jobless and penniless that was why we fled Nigeria.

JustCare:
Guess you went on student visa. What's the cost for prove of funds and how hard is getting admission and visa for someone going for masters?

I had over 5M in my account, just package your application well and you are good to go....It is good to apply for Msc in a closely related field to your Bsc and write a motivation letter that would blow minds

Four40:
Please what is this "Wolt" about?

It is like uber, but your job is to use your car to deliver food within the city

Nigerians you cannot continue to hide here oh, as there are numerous opportunities in this small country... For example that Wolt job, guys are flexing on this madly at the moment in Helsinki, imagine making nearly 3k euros before tax and you still have time to go to school? This one pain me sha! The information did not spread at all, that is why this thread is here for us to explore what the Nordic region can offer us all.....Contributions and remarks are now welcome......

I was able to secure a small job via the TE-palvelut system, although I was somewhat lucky that I came here prepared, guys what can you say about the latest trending job (Wolt), my Tanzanian friend rakes in nearly 2k euros per two weeks from this cool hustle.....Everyone contribute!!!!!! Let us make money and business in this cold, boring region of Europe!!!! AT least I also found out that many Africans here are still in transit somehow because they do not generally like the way they are treated etc

Hi great people....I just arrived Finland two weeks ago, and I noticed that lack of quality information is the major headache most immigrants face here, because virtually everything is in Finnish....I am borrowing a leaf from the US derailer thread here for us to link up all the Nigerians in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Estonia to share business and job ideas and generally, how to make life better for us all....We all can testify that these people are slightly unfriendly(from my observation), the least we can do is to find a way to beat this rigid system and make life better for us all....

Instead of Poland, why not make the short trip across to Germany? Because even Poles are running away from their country to other better nations in the EU....Besides that, i have a friend that is a footballer there and can only tell me how sexy Polish women are....lol but overall, Germany is a better destination for hustle.
