Brother good morning
Like what job can a student do to get that amount and also is the job stressful so that I can prepare my mind well

No specified number of hours to work

janda1:
How many hours can a student work in a week

No yellow fever card

For COVID certificate, not sure if it is still required at the airport, u need to check the airline’s website/booking details to know the requirements

HeyHey:
Thank you very much.
This is very informative. Which airline is best to use?. I’m aware some flights leave from Lagos too, will do proper research


mbachidi
This COVID card abi, the Study in Sweden webinar says there is no need for it now. And did you use a “yellow fever card”. That yellow card when get your passport number

Nice that you shared your experience

In my case, I had a smooth experience because I weighed mine before coming to the airport and knew the limits.

Very painful I left some of my games in Nigeria and I have to buy them at expensive price in sweden.

As for the extortion, just tell them, u don’t have and avoid being cornered or needing their help. U only give if it moves u to give them

One came to me to help carry my luggage, I told him, I can carry it myself, he said make I find am something, I just gave him 200naira

An advise, if u want to carry load, avoid Ghana must go, it will tear and na suffering be that

Also, print all printables, printed my COVID certificate for 1k, my mistake was thinking the airline would accept digital copy of the COVID certificate

AT THE NIGERIAN AIRPORT- FIRST TIME TRAVELLER
If you are travelling out of Nigeria for the first time, you need to avoid the trap I fell into. The strings of extortions and all that take place there is brazen and on another level - everyone wants to take his own "share" of what you have, since you have enough to leave the country.

In Sweden (Arland), your pal can be with you until you check in your luggage, then you hug and bid farewell before you head to the boarding point for other security checks. But in Abuja airport, your person is cut off before you check-in your luggage. I don't know any other reason for this if not for what happened to me.

I had heard they reject some food items you are travelling with, so I begged Dan, my guy, to take me to the airport and be with me until I board so if they reject anything, he would take it. Unfortunately, just before the check-in point, a uniformed person (I don't know what parastatal) asked who was travelling between us, and asked Dan not to go beyond that point.

Before we got there, customs had collected money from us, as if it was a mandatory contribution- they were even jostling for more as one said 'that one na for those people, give us awa own'. The check there was just cursory (or so I thought), one box was filled with food stuff and the other clothing, that was the first time I was leaving Nigeria ( October 2021).

When it was time to check my luggage, the young man scribbled something on a little piece of paper and sked me to go somewhere he pointed for payment for 'excess luggage' and 'extra luggage' (2 in 1). I asked how much that would be and he insisted that I would be informed when I get there. He warned that it wouldn't be small though.
,
When I got there, I was told my bill was N128,000. What! I rushed back to the boy and told him I didn't have that kind of money. Then he acted like he had a solution and told me to go buy 'ghana-must-go' bags to re-bag my stuff. I bought the bags for N2,000 each 'medium size'. I came back and he asked me to go re-bag them.

I stepped aside to do this. When I was done and came back, he said it was same and asked me to open up the box and move the things into the ghana-must-go bags, one by one. As I removed the items from here to there, he spotted and asked me to keep aside the packs of ground fish, ground beans, and two bottles of groundnut.

After packing and re-packing, he asked me to get yet another smaller ghana-must-go bag. When I went for this, one of the extortionists offered to help and took N2,500 and went and came back with a small bag saying the sellers had closed and he had to go down to get this one. After he handed it over, he disappeared. Time was ticking and it was getting closer to flight time, I was a little under pressure.

I came back to weigh the stuff again and he wrote the weights of everything on another piece of paper and asked me to go and pay at that same point. Nothing changed in the weight because we just re-weighed the same things minus the ones he wanted to steal. I proceeded to the pay point and they said my bill was N128,850. I was just angry and frustrated. I regretted making any move about the 're-bagging' in the first place.

I brought out my son's verve card to pay and they told me their POS was not working, that I would have to pay with cash. It was Turkish Airline. I asked where the ATM was and they asked me to go to one office to do a transfer and get cash. I went there and the man there said I would pay N12,800 for the cash. I left him immediately and headed for the ATM outside.

I got there and could only withdraw N100,000 (Verve daily limit). I begged a security man there so I could transfer money to his account and get the cash through him. He first announced that his account was in debit (which meant I would spend extra). Finally, I got the money with a 'sacrifice' on top.

I started racing back to pay and then proceed to check in. After checking, I headed to pick up my fish and beans and groundnut in anger. Lo and behold, the boy had closed and took my fish. If only he knew what my wife and mother went through to prep[are me for this trip, he would have avoided such evil. I took the beans and groundnut. But on a second thought, I dropped the beans because these would be in my backpack and could be mistaken as drug (so I thought, I no get strength for wahala). Even at the boarding point, the groundnut was taken away. Make dem enjoy!

What to do.
Check with the airline and know the weight you are entitled to. Make sure your big luggage don't exceed that. Get a small box, small enough to fit into the luggage compartment of the aircraft above your head, but big enough not to be a small bag. This you can carry as a 'hand luggage'. Keep it aside when checking in and don't let those hungry folks look at it twice.

SI scholarship receipients congratulations to you all

Living expenses is roughly $12k for 1 yr, 2 years is double of that and u are left with $6k, in as much as this is a budget and u could spend less than that maybe u got a job or something, safer to consider 1yr and u are done quickly, u move to the other agenda of getting a job with your M.Sc. in any country

If u still want to consider 2 yrs

Put these in mind,

Choose a course you are very familiar with
Choose a location for easy access to job opportunities
Surround yourself with like minds be it course wise or location wise or school wise from Nigeria
Pray to God wella. Different luck Dey follow different people

samefiok:
Like $30k increase ?

I think u need to increase your budget or go for a 1 yr course

samefiok:
Never had Stockholm in mind Tbh, i'm looking at Umea university Tourism masters which costs $9.5k for the 1st year of studies, my Funds has been increased To $25k

I think this will be peculiar to the branch or bank, try another branch or bank provided you submitted Notification of selection page

Ktei:
Good Morning all, 

Please I need help, I tried to pay school fees with FORM A, it was rejected, I got this response below. 

KINDLY ATTACH ADMISSION LETTER ON SCHOOL'S LETTER HEAD

Is there anybody here who has successfully paid Tuition fees with FORM A?  

Your urgent replies are needed.

Calculate using 8694sek per month, use google to convert to naira and then add extra money for variance in exchange rates

Ifesinachi147:
Hi, I just got admitted to Lund University for Msc and paid my tuition fee. Does anyone have ideas of the naira equivalent for POF for the application of 22 months residence permit? Who is going to Lund in August, let's connect.

Safer to keep till u are sure u are going to sweden

BabkinsConsult:
Please how long do I have to keep the POF in my account.

One way

akpgalaxy:
Please for flight ticket, are we to purchase a one way ticket or return? I just want to get my financial statistics clear

Admission selection is out. Check your university admissions page

POF is 8694 SEK/month for the period u will be applying, so if your course is 2 yrs, u apply for 13 months, u multiply 8694 x 13 = 113022sek
If for 1 yr course multiply by 10 months. U put the amount in your bank account.
No, u don’t transfer the amount to the school, u only pay your school fees to the school before applying for permit

Beolly:
Good day guys. Please POF is how much and are we expected to transfer the amount to the school after admission? I'm hoping for a tuition scholarship from the Swedish University of Agriculture.

U can dm me on nairaland

davidowizkid:
Can u drop ur email so I can email u my number I have some questions I wouldn't want to share here

I think asking the questions here would be nice and better than sharing your number on the public forum

davidowizkid:
Hello can I drop my number pls I have some questions

Any range is fine but don’t print plenty pages 1week, 1 month, 3 months, any of them is ok

Jorlar:
Pls house how many months bank statement is one expected to print for Visa. Thanks

No

Blazingfire:
Hello, regarding the POF can you use a sponsor’s account?

No idea, a google search would help or blocket

subcbouy:
Do you have idea about getting jobs in Visby, Gotland? All the videos about the area shows the area to be too quiet.

This video will be helpful to know the student jobs available

Regards

U can drop what you feel is the answer to bridie2 question, your point of view would help the thread

Wrap46:
did you also minus the Tax and let people know the kind of job that will pay 125sek for 20th a week without language requirement.

But surely you might be right, you should also tell people about taxes and how difficult it is to get that 20hr, 125sek job without Swedish employment and language experience.

use 125sek/hr for 20hrs a week as your calculation. Some jobs pay higher

U can drop your calculations as well

Wrap46:
Some per time jobs ? Please enlighten us, because from my calculation it doesn’t add up

Weekly ke, na monthly

CaptPlanet:
Is this like monthly or weekly?

Some part time jobs offer that range

Wrap46:
10k to 18k isn’t that more like a full time employment?

Is that legal with a student permit ?

Will he still have time for his studies ?

Or is your quote only meant for summer vacation ?

Bridie2:
Where are those seeking for admission in Sweden like me? Please indicate if you have been offered admission.
For those already in Sweden, please how much can a student earn while working and can I use my salary to pay my fees?

10k SEK -18k SEK, to pay school fees go hard small at least not in your 1st year

But they are popular ones in job advertisements, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala, Malmo

Orion21:
Sure they are the largest cities by population doesn't necessarily mean they are the best or easiest to integration or get job. For example kano and Jos are much larger cities compared to Abuja or Port-harcourt .. but you will easily find jobs and integrate faster in the later compared to the former. or like New York and LA are much bigger but it easier to settle in Atlanta or Texas and Oklahoma is better than Seattle that's why I'm asking.

thanks for your response though.

1) The date range not the school fees. You are requested for living expenses to show you can carter for yourself

2. Start from any month till when you want to apply , the statement should not sha end before May e.g January, February March April , advisable to keep the statement simple and not gather 20 pages. If you are applying May ending , u can use April 29th to May 29th. Assuming you are applying May 30th

Zazozhe2022:
Thanks boss, I appreciate but I’m still not clear about your answer.

1 if you say , I should demonstrate 1 year on my proof of funds, if I am doing 1 year. So I would demonstrate 3 years as I am doing 3 years program? Or I will only demonstrate the balance of my second semester of my tuition fee from the first year plus one year cost of living for 1 year?

2, so if my study date is August 29, admission notice comes April And I have plans to apply by may ending or 1st of July Which months Statements am I to submit?

1. Proof of funds is for the period of permit you are applying for, if you are applying for 1yr study permit, then u show 1 year, u can add more money though

2. 1 month statement but not earlier than 3 months of your expected study permit start date

3. Bank loans

Zazozhe2022:
Hello house good day. God bless everyone contributing to this forum. Please I need some help. Have applied for the schools I want on the admission portal for 3 years BSC programs. waiting to hear back by April. My questions are

1, if I am to demonstrate proof of funds, will it be cost of living for 13months plus the remaining 5 semesters on my account or just cost of living and the 2 semester fee of the first year? because we have 6 semester in 3 years program. And your first installment payment is one semester fee out of the 1st year.

2. How many months statements do I have to provide for the application?

3. Is there other options I can do prove of funds? Because the percentage of these agents charges that puts money in Your accounts to apply for a student visas is crazy.


Thank you guys for your time in advance
