If am traveling through cotonou, do I need to do a corona test before leaving Nigeria ?

I don't think you need corona test of course going by land border. Definitely you need covid test when flying from cotonou.

the program i searched for saying 5000 EUR/YEAR for 2 years program.
can i fund for 5000 EUR for 1 year i.e 5000 EUR X 12 OR 5000 X 24 for 2YEARS?

The question is not clear. Are you trying to say how much do you need to keep in order to apply for visa/resident permit for study in Estonia?

hello guys
I recently got Bsc admission into a University in Estonia , paid first year tuition already and now have to apply for the visa ,i am puzzled as to how to go about the sponsor part of the application ,
27yrs
still in the process of getting a Bsc Degree in one of our universities but ASUU is playing tic tac toe right now
i managed to save up some money to act as self sponsor , question is WILL IT FLY ? please gurues i need your advises and opinions
thanks

I want to believe that you can self-sponsor. However the question is, how do you do that? Were you working before now.

And its not a big deal as I know, especially if your parent etc can stand as sponsor for you.

In summary, you need to demonstrate that you have enough to sustain your study.

Which school?

My only issue is having to travel to another country for Visa. Double expenses.

Unfortunately you have to travel to another country since Estonia does not have an embassy in Nigeria. Fortunately, they now have an Embassy in dubai.

Update

I mean they have an embassy in Abu dahbi.

lol Oyibo will always be Oyibo.
Humans will always be selfish
Humans all always take their own before outsiders. Was that not how we pursued Ghanaians too?
You’re only a King in your country even if you have PR or citizenship outside.
I was watching this documentary sent to me on WhatsApp about few Nigerians in Estonia talking about their real life experience there. Forget Estonians are very mean to foreigners. They even want to cancel the 9 months stay back and limit part time work to 20 hours.



Just like in every countries, there are different groups of people and political (people or party). Some are more liberal and business minded, and others are more conservative and focus more on the citizens, heritage, and survival above all.

The conservative ones are the ones proposing laws that does not favour foreigners with the view of how it would benefit their citizens alone.
The above mentioned proposed amendment to the law to limit foreigners (especially those from third world countries) was rejected by companies, schools, institutions, and reasonable residents of Estonia on the basis that it was not thought through and it would result to counter the suggested benefit.

What am I trying to say? I would be careful to get more information about something more carefully before making my judgment, especially when it comes to how Estonians threat foreigners.

I am not trying to defend some of unkind gestures that some Estonians show to foreigners, but to assert that "Estonians are very mean to foreigners" is taking it too far.

Generally, Estonia is one of the easiest country to get their resident permit. They have some of the most flexible and easily approachable immigration requirements as far as I know. They have these of course because it benefits them, foreigners contributes to the economy and reputation of the Estonian state in one way or the other.

The law doesn't affect students, it's for people who came in to Estonia with short stay visa then convert to employment. Ukrainians are known for such, once the employment is terminated, there is no basis of staying any longer, that's the argument of the government.

Thank you for your submission to clarify this situation.

Those that applied to the university of Tartu, any idea on how to handle the transcript issue because I have mine in hand and the school request that the transcript be sent to them directly from the school.

Yes, the school has to send them. You can add the scanned version in the application platform. They use the scanned version to perform initial review.

Thanks you for your reply.
But I want to also know if anyone have used UK before. Because I don't know if they offer the TRP in their embassy in UK, I couldn't find on the website, I found one see Long stay Visa (D-visa). I also wanted to know why people specifically go for turkey, Israel, Egypt.

Thanks.

Usually you should apply for longstay visa. That is the minimum document you need on order to get into Estonia. It's better to apply for both longstay visa and trp but at least get a long stay visa there.

Hello. Please I am considering Estonia for master and I just found this thread which I’m grateful for. Previous I was of the opinion that Estonia visa is issued in the Belgian embassy in Abuja. But people here are discussing going to Egypt and Turkey for the visa. I’m very confused please, can someone please kindly explain

Well, Estonia does not have an embassy in Nigeria. Belgium embassy issues C-Visa (short stay). That's why you need to travel to their embassy to get a C-Visa(long stay).

My questions are 1. does Estonia have age restriction in visa application, like can somebody who is 35 years but only had HND still apply for Bachelors and be issued visa still.

2. I also heard from somebody that if you must study in Estonia, you can not have anything less than C4 in your O-level, is this true?

1. I have never heard of age restrictions on applying for a bachelor's course.
2. I don't think that is it. But usually every programme or school states the required level of credits on their website for this purpose.

Please for those who have the Long-stay (D) visa, does it allow multiple entries and exits?. I'm hoping on starting a Computer Science Masters at UT but would also love to visit Nigeria every 3 months(stay probably a few days) for family and work related issues.

They will write the number of entries on the visa. Usually its multiple entries but they may have a single entries based on the circumstances surrounding your application or their discretion.

Do your research. I see a lot of guys here, talking about Estonia.
I believe you have sense, don't just follow what people are saying. Research thoroughly.

You're not helping matter if you can't state specifically why you think Estonia does not worth it. Perhaps you can share your own research that brings you to this conclusion at least for the sake of the person who wants to make a decision.

Hello Everyone
I applied to Tallinn University

My question is, when I'm given admission while Going for Interview in Egypt will i stay there and wait for my Papers or return to Nigeria.
Does the issuance of Visa take time?

If you're referring to issuance of Estonia visa then I'll answer. It should not take up to 2 weeks to get your visa to Estonia ofcourse provided you have all their required documents. Ps. The embassy could change the time they take but from different testimonies two weeks is even too long.

Estonia is not worth it guys. Look for better countries, except you plan to use it as a stepping stone.

What makes you think Estonia does not worth it. It would be helpful if you can state your reasons for this statement so to help others think their decision through.

I am in Estonia and I would say it worth it. The only hard part is just having to travel to Estonia through another country and ofcourse the cold which I am already used to.

I REALLY THANK EVERYONE FOR ANSWERING ABOUT MY ONE WAY TICKETS ISSUE. @ JUSTWISE ETC.

PLEASE I NEED FROM SOMEONE WHO HAVE PASSED THROUGH EYGPT TO APPLY FOR STUDY VISA.

1. HOW MUCH IS THE COST OF FLIGHT TICKET TO EYGPT?

2. WHICH OF THE AIR COMPANY IS CHEAPEST?

3. HOW MANY DAYS WILL IT TAKES TO GET MY STUDY VISA?

4. HOW MUCH SHOULD I BOUGHT FOR HOTEL LIKE 10DAYS ?

5.HOW MUCH SHOULD I BUDGET FOR TRANSPORT AND FEEDING FOR 10DAYS ?

6. IS IT ADVISABLE I USE MASTER OR VISA CARD FOR ALL MY EXPENSES OR I SHOULD CONVERT MY NAIRA TO EURO AND GO ALONG WITH CASH?

Just a note, uppercase words are hard to read and its usually interpreted to mean you're yelling. So better to use lower case.

1. First and foremost is to get admitted. If you're admitted then this issues can come to the table.

1. You can easily get approximate amount of flight to Egypt using one of the booking sites like Expedia (I don't know the amount that's why I said this).

2. Again similarly, you can find out which is cheaper for the time you want to travel. I think usually Ethiopian airline but I cannot say. Flight price is very unpredictable.

3. Estonian don't issue a separate study visa. They issue D-Visa which is the same as long stay visa. The duration of the processing is at the descretion of the embassy but usually it takes average of 1 week (based on people's feedback, anything can change though).

4. This is also subject to you checking the hotels available in the country where you are going to apply for visa. You can check booking.com to have a rough idea how much this could cost.

5. I can't say but I would advice I think 50 dollar per day, but I don't know. Any one who has traveled to this place can give you an idea how or you can search online what average spending in that country.

6. Now this question sounds like you're now talking about when you get to Estonia. The previous questions sounds like what you would do in the country where Estonia has embassy (presumably Egypt). If you're referring to Estonia then your master card should still work there, and of course your bank will rip you off for every transaction (this is normal).
But If you're referring to Egypt then it should still be handy to have your card with you. You can have a little local currency with you for emergency.

But I would mention that you need to get the more important information before commiting your emotions into things like flights, master card etc

1. Admission, do you have an admission.
2. Have you decided on what route to take? If its Estonian embassy in Cairo, I will inform you that they don't have appointment slot till the end of April (as at today, they might have for other months in the future though) so consider your options well.

UPDATE

The appointment availability changes and so sometimes there might be appointment available again on those booked days.

When booking your appointment, the list of documents will be written there. Do all your photocopying and printing from home cos it’s freaking expensive at the visa center. The documents I used are hotel reservation, flight reservation, letter from my work place showing I will be on leave during the period I requested for, marriage cert and my son’s birth cert to prove that I have social ties to Nigeria, statement of account, itinerary(list of tourist places i intend visiting and on which days), work I.D card and it’s photocopy, consent letter for my son to travel with me from the dad. Don’t bother about insurance, it’s included in the visa fee. They only take cash at the visa center and your dollars must not have any stain, stamp or tear. They also don’t give change so go with your exact $125. You can request for dhl to bring your passport back to you


Thank you for your response. I will write my questions here if just in case I go through this route.

Please brother in the house, I need help from you.
I want to travel using Tourist visa to just apply for study visa, please can I go with one way flight ticket and Just leave from the place to my school in Europe?

Will there be issue at Airport ?
I want to save money since I plan to leave direct to school once I get my visa

I think no country will issue you a tourist visa without confirmation of your return and you could be denied an entry if the immigration in the country can't see a proof that you'll be leaving. They might not even allow you to leave at Nigerian airport if you don't have return ticket. So you need two-way travel ticket when going for tourism. But once you get your visa from that country, then one way to the country of your destination.

My question goes thus my people, I want to know if it is possible to defer admission due to some reasons that hinders you from processing visa to the following year. Thus, Continue your visa processing with the same admission you got a year ago?

This might be coming late but usually your admission gets cancelled, but I think PhD may be different. However you should write to the schools to find out what may happen.

I don't know where to download the application form from dream apply, and I don't have my original Bsc certificate yet just statement of result please can it suffice?

Do you really need to download your application form? As for the certificate, you could upload statement of result too. I will advice you to contact the school to explain the situation to them so they can guide you promptly on what to do. I believe they would anticipate such a situation.
