PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Joohan: 6:31am On Nov 08, 2021
Good morning everyone. My Redmi note 7 lags/hangs all the time. I have to use the power button multiple times before I can operate it for some minutes. Yesterday, it took forever before coming on. I've been getting a weird message about "Google framework" or something and if I want to report or cancel it.

The only way you can apply for a visit visa as a nigerian is if you have a relation here. then you apply under their TRC.

Otherwise, you apply for a full working visa or 3 months business visa
Ooh. My mistake then. Thanks for the correction

I'm amazed at how poor your sentence construction is, merely by reading your messages on this thread. Is it due to the Vietnam factor??
And what message are trying to pass? If you can easily understand whatever message the poster is trying to convey, I see no reason why you should criticize his grammatical skill. Please don't detail this thread if you can't offer more than detecting grammatical errors.

WhyNa:
In as much as it's too early to comment on this because I really wanted to seat back and read from you Samuel, I NEED to correct a lot of things. Do not see this as an attack or anything but we need to be careful when posting information in public so as not to be unknowingly misleading

First, please how long have you been here?

What route did you go in through? In my almost 2 years of being here, I have always said it here that I don't know much about the schooling route BECAUSE I didn't come in through that route, I'm not schooling and so do not have 100% accurate information on study route.

@Bolded 1: That's not true. There is NO LIST. There is only preference. There are lots of schools and centres and to each his own. Of course schools prefer to bring in people from certain countries because it's wayyyyy cheaper and the white skin priviledge is still very much alive. Right now, they are all asking for people who are already in the country because things have changed


@Bolded 2: Again not true!. I know 3 nairalanders here who came in through work visa early this year. Two of whom i have become very close to. I can only mention them if they give me permission. They have their reasons for wanting to keep silent and I respect that whatever the reason(s) is. YOU CAN COME INTO VIETNAM ON A WORK VISA! Don't forget the person typing this did.

@Bolded 3: No, schooling route is not the best option. Work visa is the best option. When you come in through study visa, remember you have to pay for fees in addition to accomodation, feeding, quarantine, visa and all other thing and you only get to work part time. But when you come in on a work visa, you don't have the burden of paying fees. You just deal with the visa and quarantine and feeding and stuff and you can work till you drop. Once here, if you decide in the long run, you want to study, that's fine. by then you know you can even pay your fees outrightly from money saved and can retain most of your jobs.

PS: incase I never said this here, I'll say it now, come here, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND MOVE TO A BETTER COUNTRY TO STUDY if that's your dream. This is solely my opinion and a better country in my opinion would mean a country where in the long run, you can get citizenship. I'll talk more about this much much later

@Bolded 4: Not entirely true. So first, it depends on your location but even at that, you don't need to know the language to enjoy the country. For a first timer, it can be strange using google translate everytime but you'll get a hang of it. But more and more vietnamese are able to manage little conversation in English now. Also, depending on your area, you can go a whole month without having to worry about translation because you are surrounded by foreigners. Learning the language is a plus only for communication and yes everyone admires people from a different country or even tribe who is able to speak their dialect

@Joohan

@Bolded 1, that's not true. I think I've addresed this above

@Bolded 2: You can NEVER get a work permit with a visit visa. This is the reason the government sent hundreds of thousands of whites away because they came on visit visa and started working. They didn't have WP but they renewed the visa monthly and worked. People employed them because of that white skin complex but you as an African can't even try it

In summary, Samuel, it would be nice if you just shared your experience coming here via the study route, schools you applied to, what the application process is like, student visa application and experience so far.

Peace.

What province are you in? We fit jam one day
I made a mistake with the first point. Thanks for the correction. There's a preference or should I said privileges in which the Native speakers enjoys.

I didn't mean working with a Visit visa, I meant coming in with it then search for job where they're willing to sponsor your WP (I might be wrong tho).

Lol I don't say you cannot get through here with working visa, You can get in here please don't quote me wrong ... I am talking about this Covid time, Base on my own research

Hi everyone... I really appreciate you all here for your prayers and messages... Thank you all

Lets go straight to our discussions.. If you are preparing to come on working visa, I will say you are on your own ooooo and it will takes time to get .. Because I don't know how you make your own research on working visa.. Firstly you have to get a teaching centre here that will be responsible for your coming in and other stuff but what amaze me is that the centres really loves people that are in Vietnam to apply within...

I don't say you will not get Centre that will apply for you , but it will really takes time..
Congratulations on getting in, chief.
I want to counter some things you said. It's true Nigerians can't get in through working visa because we're not part of the NES countries. As well as 99.9 percent of African/South American/Asian countries. Going through school is where we want you to really talk on so that we can weigh our options.
When they start issuing visit visas, I know there'll be some ag£#ts that can find a loophole and get NNES in with a WP.
Congratulations once again and I pray the land favours you.

Joohan and BunmiBie are right.
Thanks ma'am.


@Hightser, I think it'd be best to make some research before wasting money because this people don't even give a hoot about where you got your cert. They just wanna see it. Whichever one is presented, so far it's from an accredited institution is accepted. Shalom.
TravelRe: My Journey To Hanoi, Vietnam by Joohan: 6:11am On Oct 09, 2021
BunmiBie:
Bro, you should have ignored them.
These ones believe in paying higher price for everything until they will pay and later realized they have been scammed or could get it cheaper.
If you say $95 is too cheap then go for the one that pleases you, could even be $1000 nah your money.
It's better to ignore and let him enjoy his 5mins fame because he's already being condescending. Does he even know people pay $2000 for the same "original” he's been shouting about? Everyone should suit themselves.

Naija people always looking for easy way out, until you get there and it’s rejected.
Have you been there before? If you don't have first hand information about something, I think it's best to not jump into baseless conclusion. What easy way out did I mention or advertise here? I'm not sure about other countries but the cheaper one I found is accepted in Vietnam. If you want confirmation, I'll drop it for the OP to verify for us. And also, please never label me among the "Naija people” you had in your thoughts.

TravelRe: Let’s Talk About Croatia Work Permit And Visa Application. by Joohan: 2:52pm On Aug 10, 2021
Elvisu:
Just an update on this topic.
I and some of my guys applied for the entry visa to Croatia in November 2020 and our passports came out in January 2021 without visas. Actually we made a mistake while filling the visa application form. One of the information we entered was wrong and I believe that was why the visa was denied.

The employer that gave us the work and resident permit approval letter which we used in applying told us to reapply again and we did that in April 2021 which was after three months of the first denial. This time everything was ok.
Till now our passports are still with the Croatia embassy in South Africa. They don’t have embassy in Nigeria and the work and resident permit approval letter will expire in September 2021. We don’t know actually what is delaying our passports though there was a slight changes concerning Croatia work and resident permit approval for third world countries nationals.
The law took effect from this year.
The embassy is replying emails sent to them.

That is the situation for now.
Hello, op.

What kind of job is it and what's the process getting a job in Croatia? Do you know someone there that looks for job on ones behalf?

My man how have you been? It's been a while on this thread as man is trying to make ends meet.

But the constant thing i notice is the surge in price from 800k to 2.2mil and a possible 3mil all this attributing to corona.

I just pray this corona of a thing finally disappears, allowing things to return to status quo, Make man fit Japa.

I see ur steady input bro, abeg still remember to put me on alert when you see somthn cheaper.

I'm sorry for the late response.

I've been so caught up lately and haven't been online like that.

Unfortunately, the visa agents and the government work hand-in-hand, so if there'll be any changes to the price, it won't be that much cus they know expats will gladly pay. I'm also on the look out for something cheaper (might have found someone tho) lipsrsealed I know this year won't pass us by. Get all your documents ready and make friends with locals online. I've started a private class online which pays little something, and it pays part of my bills. Just get a good laptop, a strong connection and apply on palfish.

@Yeaemedia, I'll advice you go to Korea, they tend to pay more than other Asian countries (except Japan and maybe China). Getting a work Visa in SK will give you lots of access to other first world countries without any form of denials. You'd love SK... you'll get to tour Seoul, Itaewon, Gangnam, Busan and other amazing places. Best of luck in whatever decision you choose.

Make I go search for work in korea grin grin cheesy

I've been good and bored jare. Schools are closed for the rest of February and may extend till next month or even April. New cases are cropping up everyday and it seems this time, it is a bit harder to control because they haven't traced the source of the first contact and then the wedding attendees traveled back to their abode before the first case was detected.

We would be going back to teach online soon
Maybe I'll do my findings to find the cheaper ones then. It's just hard getting the reliable ones...those prices are too good to be true.

Is it a partial or total lockdown? Teaching online means little stress na grin

Those are the people (Natives) they quotes outrageous amount of money for and tell them to work and clear the deficit when they land. Which Nigerian can pay $9k to an agent for sponsorship letter and quarantining alone? You'd pay for your visa and flight separately.

TravelRe: My Journey To Hanoi, Vietnam by Joohan: 10:27pm On Feb 16, 2021
Right now, visa agents will specifically tell you that they don't process sponsorship letters for AFRICANS again. They give flimsy excuses like telling you the process is now complicating or tedious. The few ones that tell you otherwise are only trying to syphone money from you. Beware!
Now, they cases are plateauing and I don't think even NES are being allowed in at the moment, it's even harder for Vietnamese to come in.
I just hope this isn't subtle or covert racism. We didn't create the virus, why are we the one to bear the brunt?
