submitting for study permit @ Egypt, will it require a resident permit or as a student you can walk to Estonia consulate & submit ur docs? btw how do they verify SOA that originate from Nigeria bank?

............................................................

Hello

You cannot just walk into any Estonian Consulate. Please make sure you get an appointment date.

Have you received an admission offer?

When you make an application at the Consulate, you will receive a D Visa for 6 months or a year. When you arrive in Estonia, you will now apply for a TRP (Temporary Resident Permit). If your course is for two years, you will get TRP for two years.

Kind regards

How can we authenticate/validate our documents?
By submitting them yourself at Ministry of Education/Foreign Affairs.
My question really is which courier service can we us that is affordable. Thanks

Hello there,

Has any organisation in Estonia requested for hard copies of your documents?

If yes, you authenticate this at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (only).

The question regarding courier has been answered in a previous thread......DHL ....Please.


Kind regards

Hello,

I would love to move to Estonia but I need ask some question.
1) Can i move to Estonia with an employment from the United Arab Emirate, cos I live and work there .
2) if the employment visa is hard to get, I would love going for the Student visa, my wife as student and I as dependent, My wife is an HND holder and I Bsc holder
3) Is it advisable to start with college or go for masters program and we're thinking of applying for social works as course cos I hope that helps in getting a job after schooling
4) what are the courses you can advise one to go for which will help one in quickly getting a job after school

Hello there,

Yes you can move from UAE to Estonia if you have already secured employment (am not sure if you have an employment already from your message).

Your wife can come as a Masters student. I would not advise social work in Estonia because its a regulated profession and she needs Estonian language.

Regarding the course(s), you would have to research what course you or your wife have a passion, that will be help you eventually in settling down in Estonia. If you are techy, that is a big plus because Estonia is a significant player in the global tech scene.

I hope this helps?

[quote author=Victorparker post=125797394][/quote]Hello,

The most important thing you need to do now is get an admission. Begin to look at universities that offer your intended course(s).

Get your educational certificates authenticated
Begin to work on your proof of funds

.....begin to get your statement or letter of intent to study ready!

Hope this helps?

Victorparker:
Hello I greet everyone here
Please I’m 31yrs and I just rewrite my waec
Can I still study in Estonian
And what are the requirements
Thanks 🙏

.............................................
Hello,

Yes, anyone can study as long as you meet all the requirements.

You need to identify the exact course you want to study -I believe it is undergraduate...right?

The courses and universities have different entry requirements. Check out the universities, make your choice(s) and begin to apply.

This is the best time to begin to collate your documents if you want to go in for next year admissions.

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best wishes.

Can 43 Years Man apply for Undergraduate Study in Estonia?

Looking forward to your response. Thank you.

Hello there,

Yes you can but why don't you go for a Graduate Program?

[quote author=Sharon9914 post=125745771][/quote]Hello there,

The law has changed slightly for students. Your spouse may not be allowed to work but he/she would get a DVisa.

The good news is that when you are on ground with a DVisa and you get an employer to stand as your sponsor, the status can be changed to Employment Residence Permit (up to 5years).

Another good news is that your spouse can apply to a school (even get a tuition free scholarship) while in Estonia and becomes a student. This is an avenue to study and work at the same time.

Hope this helps?

I have a conditional offer from Valga County Vocational Training Centre.
It is free tuition but conditioned to getting an Estonian visa till February 2024 or visa application before final decision can be made.
Going to Cairo is a huge problem for me.
Any ways to assist please?

.....................................
Hello

Congratulations for the conditional offer from Valga County Vocational Centre.

If you cannot get to Cairo (which can often be difficult for many people), please do use UAE or Turkey. However, UAE (Abu Dhabi precisely) should be much easier.

You can take a plane to Dubai and just take a coach to Abu Dhabi.

The visa you would apply for is the D Visa. What you need to do now is to secure an appointment at the embassy.

Make sure you get all your documents complete and everything should work out perfectly....hopefully.

Best wishes.

AllDModsAreMaad:
Thank you so much...

Let's say I have that 5 million naira to do that, what is the probability of their visa processing getting approved or let me say the success rate of their visa approval with all the documents genuine and valid.

Lest I forget, I concluded my BSC about 7 years ago, I hope it doesn't matter sha?
You know it will take time to raise the necessary fund.
I also want to know if they have number of years restriction, for example the degree should not be more than so so and so years.

I asked this question, because I wouldn't want to spend on a process that is not certain or let me use the word assured to a good level.

Please pardon my questions.

................................................................................

Hello

Please I will like to correct an error regarding age and time that you did your Bachelors or Masters. Anyone can go back to school anytime. There are no strict restrictions when it comes to studying.

Someone came to Estonia as a student from Nigeria last year August at 50years and last Masters was 12 years ago!

Most countries will not penalise anyone for wanting to further a new career.

You should concentrate on gaining admission and writing very strong motivation letters/justifications.

Hope this helps?

AllDModsAreMaad:
Thanks for your response...

From your knowledge(experience), how much fund do you think will be just enough without seeking for scholarship?

I will appreciate your kind and honest response.

...............................................................................................................
Hello

I will just give you a guide here in terms of necessary funds.

If you are on a tight budget, Estonia may not be affordable for you now because of the process of getting there. Am sure you know that you would have to go to Egypt, Turkey or Dubai (or other countries where they have a consul representative) for your DVisa.

I would advice you put some money in your account for you to show at the embassy....like N5m+ because of tuition fees and living expenses before you get a job.

Let me know if you have any other questions/clarifications.

Regards

AllDModsAreMaad:
Good evening, well done for the good job in enlightening others.

I want to ask you a question...

I am currently searching for a country where I can run my masters, I have BSc in Industrial Chemistry.

What is the prospect like in Estonia and what is the probability of getting a stay/PR after the program there?

Lastly, can 2.5 or 3 million naira cover the process?

.......................................................................................................................................................

Hello

Yes you can study for your masters programme in Estonia.

If you come for masters, you will get a two years residence permit, plus 270 days automatically after your studies.

You are allowed to work with your Residence Permit and when you complete your studies, you can use your employer to apply for longer term residency.

The only problem is the funds that you have indicated that you have. There is possibility of getting scholarship but this is by selected universities, the exact course and your motivation letter (in some cases).

I hope this helps?

Kind regards

The consular issue the date i put in my Itinerary.

....................................................................................................
Hello

That's okay. Please do try and go back to Nigeria at the end of the conference. Trust me it will be beneficial for you to reapply and get a longer visa.

Best wishes

Cityboy123:
Thanks for your prompt response.

I just have a Type C estonia 10days, is there anyway i can convert my status and apply for a residency permit.

...........................................................................................................................................................

Hello

It is only an employer that can assist. That employer will need to quickly apply on your behalf for your visa status to change while your visa is still active.

It is better for you to travel with the existing visa, go back to Nigeria before the visa expires then apply again. You stand a better chance of getting a longer Schengen Visa (mind you, this will allow you to apply at any other country in the Schengen Area.

I know this is not the answer you want to hear, but it gives you so much advantage that you travelled, came back and now apply for multiple visa (if possible).

You will not be able to do much with 10days visa in Estonia or any other country.

But, why apply for 10days?

This is a "Quoted" official information:

In what type of schools may a foreigner study?
In Estonia, foreigner may study in:

a primary school
a gymnasium
a vocational educational institution
an institution of applied higher education
a university
an educational institution founded on the basis of a treaty.

My response: This may be useful to someone out there!

UntamedKing:
Can I use Duolingo test? If not, can you share university that doesn't need IELTS in Austria.

...................................................................................................................................

Hello

Duolingo test is only accepted in Estonia for European applicants.

There are definitely a lot of countries/universities that would offer you an admission without IELTS in Europe.

Regards

UntamedKing:
Which school can you recommend for someone with a waec for undergraduate program and bank balance of 7m.

............................................................................................................................
Hello

You would need to sit for IELTS. Is that something you can get done?

Try and aim for good scores. It would help you not only with Estonia but other countries that you can apply to for Bachelors.

Regards

Do you know that Estonia is the world's most digitally enabled nation. IT guys its a world of opportunities for you.

Now you know. Don't be deterred.

adejoro1988:
Can you expantiate more on these,
l would not recommend moving to Estonia. Their new immigration/residency
laws make it difficult to stay after graduation. Graduating from their
universities no longer qualifies you for residency. Now you are required to
find a job after graduation before you can apply for residency. And the
employer must sign an undertaking/guarantee for you and send to Estonian
police. Many employers are not willing to do this because of the legal
implications.
The years you spend studying there is no longer counted towards residency.
As a bachelors or masters student, you can no longer invite your family
member to live with you until you have lived for at least 2 years in Estonia.
Going to Estonia is like gambling. There is a high chance your ticket will cut.
The government is rolling out additional set of residency laws in January,
2023. Copied!

...............................................................................................................................................
Hello

Thanks for your input.

I would like to point out that for every country that you travel to, it is a risk because your permanent residency is never guaranteed.

A lot of these countries are always tweeking their policies now and again, just to make it more stringent.

Students are still coming to Estonia and other European countries keep changing policies as well. Also, coming to Estonia as a student is not the only way to get there.

AbdulAkpan:
Thank you my dear,

Are there sites you could recommend for me to go about in search of the vocational schools?

Google is not giving me what I want.

...........................................................................................
Okay, I will get back to you.

Glocal1:
Are you in Estonia at the moment?

..........................................................................................

Hello

Yes to your question

AbdulAkpan:
Thank you so much for your insightful guides. But I have a question. Apart from Degree or PGD study, is there any low tuition training, course or diploma one can do in Estonia? The truth is, I really want to relocate for a greener pasture, but I don't have the required funds for normal university program. I pretty believe that short courses or training will be cheaper than university education.

If the aforementioned is possible, can they allow me to stay and work at the end of the course or training?

I hold a HND in Business Admin and a Bachelor degree in Education.

Best regards.

........................................................................................

Hello

Yes there are some Vocational Colleges in Estonia. However, you will need to get an employer at the end so that they can file for you under employment.

Anyone is allowed to stay and work, as long as there is an employer who will do this for you. This is a pretty easy route.

Let me know if this helps?

You came on vacation, did you overstay your visa or what happened?

Cityboy123:
Please what type of insurance do you mean?
And what are the documents requires if someone want to sponsor itself or document require from the sponsorship if someone want to use sponsor..

Thank you

.......................................................................................................................................

Hello

The insurance you need to get (for you to be on the very safe side) is an European Health Insurance. Please not a travel insurance. The travel insurance covers you when you go on holidays for emergencies and all.

However, because you are going as a student or another, you need A HEALTH INSURANCE. You will get the one that will cover you for at least a year.

You need to check the website of the embassy that you would be submitting your application.

The key documents are:

Your valid passport
Proof of funds (I don't know if you are going as a student or for employment)
Health Insurance
Letter of Admission
Proof of accommodation
MAKE SURE YOU VALIDATE YOUR CERTIFICATES
If you are going to be sponsored, let your sponsor give quality tax clearance (if he or she owns a business), bank statements, other documents that demonstrate good ties in Nigeria
You may need other documents (dependent on the stream you are going for)


Best wishes

The World Health Organization has ranked Estonia's air as some of the cleanest air in the world, along with countries like Finland and Iceland.

The quality of life is extremely great.

Do you know that you can register a business in Estonia in one day??
