u3fine: Oga don't waist that amount on agent. Does that amount include air ticket and accommodation? Visa on arrival is $50-$120. Air ticket is between #350-#400k depending on dollar rate. Accommodation for the month like $150 dollars. Authentication of documents + or - #50,000
This price is outrageous, accepted. But, he can't get visa on arrival, he might even get sent back. Vietnam immigration are so corrupt that they partner with agents so that they can get their returns from every processing fee. I spent a week searching for agents, some sounds legit while others wants to rip you off. Some wants to scam you (want to scam a naija guy..Leemao ) I met native speakers working in Vietnam and Thailand, they explained how they got their visas and how much they are paid. Best thing is to know someone there before giving your money to a stranger to process visa for you. Call the agent, video call and make sure you get all his/her information.
aminusodiq: I'm also interested in this... Can we link up on watzapp... My link on my signature... I was planning another country before... But I'm having a change of mind seeing ds thread
I just want to answer your question, it's not a waste of time. You can't know what the future holds, you may end up abroad and back in Nigeria to lead a government agency, you will not be allowed. Remember Kemi Adeosun, I'm sure she felt the same as well (thinking she's based in UK and doesn't need to serve), but she later had to resign as minister of finance, remember the scandal it caused her.
it's better to have an NYSC certificate and not need it, than need it and not have it.
just focus fully on the opening of their border, time will help in this matter and a year from now, I'm believing things would have been better, you'll just keep saving money as WhyNa suggested.
Note:- it's not my business, I'm almost in your shoes, so I know what that wait for service is like.
WhyNa, I hail ooo...stay safe and as usual I'm ghost following....
Lol. Thanks for the advice bro. This wait is getting annoying, I've been waiting since last year. On the long run, I'll have to go for it and prepare myself more. With the way things are going, the border won't be opening anytime soon.
WhyNa: A first timer cannot get a temporary residence card. You get a visa first, then when it expires, you can apply for TRC
$150?? What province biko? Is it shared apartment? Best thing is to book a o e week accommodation which can be done online. Withiin that one week, you will find an apartment that suits your taste within an area you like
One more thing, if it's an African you're talking to, be extra careful. Those guys have sweet mouth like Yaba boys till you ask for proof that they are genuine.
They will tell you things that even you did not ask for.
I sensed it. He sounds like a Ghanaian. He said the apartment is located in South Ho chi min. I've spent my time familiarising with some Vietnamese. One said the border won't be opened until 2023...I countered that sha make she no go give person HBP
One asked me to marry her to bring me over (is that no a crime?) Tho, I asked her to help me look for genuine agents. I'm thinking of sending my docs to her when border opens to help me apply for jobs so that I can get a permit.
hammed71: God bless you guys, anybody encouraging you to use visit visa to japa to any country is not your friend. find a legal means to travel, work and safe for it, then execute your plan.it does not matter how long it takes you to get to your dream destination as long as its not a visit visa. Going legally gives you peace of mind
Boss, I mentioned you at Ireland thread. Can I discuss something with you?
@Whyna, after searching and searching about how to get the Vietnam work visa, I finally found some but they sound suspicious.
I've spoken to like ten of them but I'm still not convinced. What I noticed is that, most of them told me they are going look for job for me and get me an accommodation ($150 a month). Lol...the offers looks too good to be true. I'm still skeptical about it. This thing no easy o. I'm thinking of not going for my NYSC and place all my focus on this journey.
Some of them sent me some documents but they are not convincing enough.
As at today, there are only 151 active Covid-19 cases. These guys really know how to take control
Schools are back in session. It's the beginning of a new school year. Everything is back to normal although you are still required to wear a mask in public places
Flights in and out of the originating city of the second wave of the pandemic in the country has commenced. This goes further to show how well they controlled the second outbreak.
Entry for people from 6 Asian countries:. Seoul, Guangzhou, Tokyo, Taipei, Cambodia and Laos will commence on the 15th
New visas are not granted yet even for those who are in the country. The government has been giving those who their visa expired during the pandemic free extension and now, their visa has been extended till December.
Some students who got admission also said the school asked them to either study online or wait till next year.
Putting two and two together, they might not be opening borders to all countries this year. TET festival is in Jan/Feb and I'm sure they wouldn't want to keep people from celebrating due to a 3rd outbreak.
I might be wrong though as no official announcement has been made. Borders remain closed sha except people coming from the countries listed above. You can however, leave the country
The demand for teachers are still very high, the weather is becoming cooler as it's raining now. It's Autumn season
Thanks for the update, ma'am. I've been looking forward to it and I'm glad you're safe.
@Whyna, can I PM you? I've got something I want to share with you. I'll wait for your response.
Hello everyone, it seems one can now do the jamb regularisation (Change of course/institution) by oneself now. Who has gone through the process or done it, pls signify.
Chiggsglover: Hahahah, well, I no see am sha. Make e do cybersecurity, networking things actually have more jobs than data analytics. They have little to no maths, less stressful and more options.
I did business administration as my first degree. I know, it'll be hard getting a job. How easy is it if I decide to do the aforementioned courses for my master's? I'm also bad at maths. Infact, I hate it! Is there any other IT courses that requires little or no Maths I can do?
Vietnaminfo: Who cares. Who is even returning to that "shithole" country call Nigeria. I pity those who will return back home. If Federal Government pays for everything, i bet you that no Nigeria in Vietnam is even ready to return back home. How can one jump from frying pan to fire. Who does that?... lol�����
Chief, how do I get a work visa to Vietnam? Can I PM you?
Lifeofgabbyz: I entered the bus my paying with my leap card. A Leap Card is a reusable plastic smart card that can be used instead of paying with cash or paper tickets on the bus. There are Adult, Child and Student Leap Cards available as your case may be.
There are many places to buy quality clothes such as Jack and Jones, JD, Gerard, Guineys, Penneys and others. For students and average income earners, the best place to get good and affordable clothes, jackets, footwear, bedsheets among other things is Penneys. Their items are relatively cheap. You can watch a full tour of the stores in my video below.
But it's not the first time I'm mentioning this na. I've told you guys what I earn per hour.
I also told you guys I've rejected jobs that offered $8-12
So when @Joohan said that, I had to make him dream bigger.
Again I advise, use this time wisely and start brushing up yourself. Yes I know there's no practice or experience like the main thing. I personally believe in learning by making mistakes but then try
Thanks for making me dream I pray I don't get dissapointed at the end. I already zeroed my that it's either Vietnam or nothing.
About brushing up, I've been in the teaching line for the past 6yrs(I have all teaching certs). I had to stop teaching business subjects and took up English language...Now, I'm I'm oral phase of the English language and it's been wonderful. Teaching in Nigeria is frustrating tho, coupled with the peanuts they pay.
My Centers are all back to business so it's back to being busy busy busy for me.
My heart wanders here once in a while but truth is, there is really nothing to update. Maybe soon, there will be
The number of cases and death is still increasing but not so much. Schools are back to normal including businesses.
There is a very high demand for teachers now and teachers are doing shakara sef. All these schools that offer $8 per hour are gradually seeing shege. But the truth remains that you'll also always see people who even in this time of plenty are willing to collect that sum
Also, it's not looking like the borders are opening soon. Let's see what happens come October/November.
SIR0: Along Lagos-Ibadan expressway, our bus had a fuel leakage. We got to a place & the roadside hawkers started shouting, " petrol! petrol! petrol!". The driver stopped the bus & all passengers started shouting at the driver to leave his seat & open the door so that all can get down quickly. When we noticed he was reluctant to open the door, the guys in the bus started fleeing through the windows. While struggling to get out, I had a tear in my jean trouser. When I was looking at the tear, people said I shouldn't bother about that, what matters is life.
Same experience as mine on our way to ijebu ode that hot afternoon come see as people dey fly ontop eachother
