Here's my opinon,

I HIGHLY doubt you and your kids will be comfortable in a 6-bed hostel. Are they even aware of your kids? because that's 3 beds occupied which may mean more work for you.

but let's assume you go ahead with it. Imagine working 3 hours a day, shuffling with 2 kids and uni work as a new commer? that will be a nightmare. Moreover, you cannot use such housing to apply for your personal number. And the earlier you get your PN, the better because that's when your time in Sweden starts counting. So I advise you to keep searching for housing. Look on Facebook rental groups too, but beware of scams. Do not pay any holding deposit except you have someone in Sweden to view the place and verify its authenticity.

Bringing your kids or not doesn't matter. If you can bring them if you want to, or leave them with their father/close relative in Nigeria while you settle. That decision is up to you, based on your capability to handle stress.

Lastly, if you decide to go ahead with the hostel accommodation, make sure to get a contract and read the conditions thoroughly to know your rights/risks. You don't want a situation where you are kicked out for unforeseen reasons and you are stranded.

goodluck.

HeyHey:
Thank you very much
Yes, na job, and the payment is the accommodation.

What skills are in demand?, also, can you advise me on bringing children (2kids).

Tbh, I see waiting list as a friendly way of telling you to move on. No doubt, some people are later on considered but don’t put all your hopes on it.

Perhaps wait until SI result is out and maybe more people will drop, then you can get a higher chance of getting in.

Goodluck

I applied for admission in the first round application process and I was admitted to my third priority choice while I have been placed in the waiting list for my first priority choice.
From the admission selection results 15 persons were admitted for the course while I'm no. 3 on the waiting list.
My worry is that the number of people admitted has reduced to 13 but I am still no.3 on the waiting list.
Please, why is my number on the waiting list not changing? Does it me I have to decline my first admission before my number on reserve the list will change?

Good Morning,

Have you taken out time to read through https://www.migrationsverket.se? If you haven't, please do.
If you still don't find the answer to your question, you can ask again.

This also applies to other people, please read https://www.migrationsverket.se and familiarise yourself with the requirements for the study permit. Repeating stuff (you can easily find online) multiple times is a daunting task and that's why this thread is somewhat idle.

Thanks for your understanding

akpgalaxy:
@mobil567, abeg help me with this info. Anyone with the info, abeg help me

1) for 13 months

2) no

Ktei:
Good morning everyone, Please, I need all your help and contribution on this, my younger brother just got admitted to Linnaeus university for a 3 years bachelor degree programme,

I want to know if he is to show proof of fund or living expenses for 13 months or for the entire program ?

Also, for the balance tuition, is he to show proof for the balance tuition also and add it to his proof of funds to reflect in his final statement before applying for the visa ?

I will appreciate all your sincere contributions and guidance.

No, study years do not count in Sweden (in terms of getting residency). You have to switch permits

Ichiebillion:
Boss, does program duration count towards postgraduate work permit like in Canada?
The school that am looking at, offers a program with a year and two years duration respectively. If there are technically no advantage, then I will proceed for the cheaper one year program.

Congrats

Temmrow:
For the Lord is good and his Mercies endureth forever.

I give Glory to God, for I have been admitted to Darlana university. I Just checked it not quite long.

Glory be to God.


If you're going to Darlana university let's connect pls.

Thanks

yes

Ge0grapher:
Hello guys. Is PhD free in Sweden??

that is entirely up to you

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

goodluck!

Temmrow:
For undergraduate student, the portal for application is locked now. Meaning, application processing is ongoing.

Best of luck to us in Jesus name

yes.

Duby2288:
Can someone pay the total tuition fees from here now before applying for Visa?

Don’t worry about it.
You will most likely not apply for your permit until next month anyway.
Just print 3 months bank statement, and get ready to resend a recent one if asked.

daviano2013:
@Mobil567, please can you explain this write up for me, saw it on Swedish Migration Agency Website. Thanks

1) I don’t have kids yet. Others can help you better.
2) family accommodation is hard to get because universities does not provide housing in such case. So your best bet is actually Facebook, joining queue or finding other Nigerians in your city that know available spaces.

3) sadly, not the best person to advise for this.


4) have enough funds to last you for a year since you’re coming with kids. This will ensure smooth settlement before you can start working. All the best

HeyHey:
@lionize, @Mobil567 @ebim

I just got admitted and by Gods grace, will be coming with 2kids. Following your experience, I will apply for myself first before the kids bc them never get passport.

My questions are as follows:
1. Has your family joined you?, did you register for kids school from Nigeria
2. Accomodation, I saw some places on sssb and facebook, I was advised to queue but was discouraged when I see the waiting time as 1119 days
3. What should I note about bringing kids to Stockholm as Na only me and them Dey come
4. All other insights and contributions are welcomed

School: Swedish Defense University, Stockholm

Application is done online.
Biometrics is taken at Abuja.
If the lagos one is accepting biometrics, you can go there too. You can email their Abuja office for better clarification

adedejis2:
Please who has the link to the telegram group.
Also, does anyone have an idea if we can apply in lagos and what the process for lagos is like

Most of your questions can easily be answered if you actually take your time to read through Migrationsverket website.

Yes, you are eligible to for a one year job search visa after your studies.

For rate conversation to calculate POF, use xe.com or oanda but make room for fluctuations.

I don't know tbh. I did not need insurance as my programme is more than a year, so the university covers that.
I suggest checking with your university first. Otherwise, keep an eye on the thread and someone will advise you better.

Richbuddy:
Thank you mobil567 for your response. God bless.


What is the best insurance company to use and how much?

I would appreciate a response. Thank you

Most of us on this thread also live in Sweden. So he either misinformed you or you misunderstood him. The only applicant that has a guaranteed permit is an SI holder. In reference to deferral, that depends on the reason and school. Usually, you will be asked to reapply during the next rounds. So email the university and see what they say.

CaptPlanet:
Okay. The person that told me lives there. He handled the application himself. Anyway, I'm still considering it. Can one defer admission?

Yes!

Orion21:
hi guys,
I got admission.. no scholarship.. the deadline for payment of fees is 20 April..
Honestly, that fees no be here ..
this deadline I understand is for the first installment (first semester fee).

My question is would it be required that i pay the full fees before granted visa?.

or the will this first installment plus POF be ohk to secure visa?

Student’s account

Richbuddy:
Good evening all, do the proof of fund needs to be in the student account or sponsors account? My cousin got admitted to university west for Msc Finance.

lol, you heard wrong. No university comes with “automatic resident permit”. That is at the mercy of your case officer and God ofc.
Just make sure your application is properly submitted. Goodluck

CaptPlanet:
I got Linnaeus! I heard it comes with automatic resident permit

Big congratulations

akpgalaxy:
God is good. I have been admitted to my first choice course. We await scholarship

Exact!

sibbo:
Ok. Confirm from the University then if you will still be eligible for a scholarship even though you are on Reserve. Considering that reserve slots are not guaranteed that you will get a chance at being admitted to your program of choice. You will only be considered for admission if someone else declines their admission.

Yes, this is true. But if you want to be educated more, kindly email that op and continue the convo in your mailboxes. This place is a Sweden thread and not dedicated to coaching you on if to go to the UK or not. Thanks for your understanding

ensamy:
For real ?? I heard more student jobs opportunity than Sweden. Educate me more

Sadly, you are now ineligible for the university scholarship. You do not have a chance because you are on reserve, not admitted.
Just hope for Si or start preparing for tuition fee payment.
But congrats and welcome to Sweden soon

Leleky:
My interest is on school scholarship which will be possible if I'm admitted in my first choice.

Nonsense talk. Let people do what they decide. Don't start this Sweden vs UK debate here. It will not be tolerated again. This is a Sweden thread, period!

Spider20:
Never you move to the UK Man.
For your good and Sanity.
Avoid UK,
I repeat AVOID UK

Grateful02:
Lol u ehh
Mikael0407 yes u can. I think the timeframe should be enough to aid u put the neccesary documents in plc

how do you mean?

Mikael0407:
Hello everyone, please is it possible to apply for the next round of scholarship application? I'm a new graduate and still serving but will be done by September while I believe the next round starts November. So is it advisable for me to apply? Please advise.

here: https://www.migrationsverket.se/English/Private-individuals/Studying-and-researching-in-Sweden/Higher-education/Residence-permit-for-higher-education.html

Then for the second round, the result is out on 12th July according to university admissions.

profeddor15:
@mobil567, i really appreciate your response and support.
I will like to have the website for checking on the proof of funds for student visa.
Also, will like to know when they will issue admission to those that were qualified for the second round.

1. Yes
2. Yes - check migrationsverket website for details

profeddor15:
Hello house, I'm new here and will like to know some times.
Firstly, apart from the principal applicant, can family members follow him/her to Sweden?
Secondly, is there anything like proof of funds for student that is coming for a program in Sweden?
Lastly, is there anyone studying or applying to study marketing at Linnaeus University?.
Please, let us chat.
Thanks

Gbam!

Grateful02:
I think with past argument on this, the decision is up to your friend.[/b]As his mindset seems to be on '[b]sweden or nothing' then let him go for it..
All the best to him

do you have an issue with comprehending English? Did I mention that he has to go to the bank? I simply say you need an insider close to the international operations to push it!

Fidelitybank will not debit you in (7) working days without anyone pushing it up the queue. Not true at all.

missuzoma:
Not true, biko! These days, you don't need to go to the bank for a Form A transaction. Use www tradesystem.gov.ng and pay from your house and phone. I used that recently and in about seven working days the entire matter was settled.

if you don’t know some inside, e go tey. 4 weeks they never even check your case.

Chizzy759831:
Please who has an idea how long fidelity bank takes to debit form A.

The money in your account was not enough to fund the charges. Get in contact with the bank to complete the transaction after you credit your accounr

freeboiz:
Good day everyone, anyone have an idea about this. I got debited for Form A but i still got a rejected notice when i log into to the portal
And how long does it take to get a telex receipt after debit
