No its not like the old one. it's a copy you download that says this

According to records in the Central Criminal Records Registry of the Nigeria Police Force, there is no trace of any
convictions recorded in Nigeria against ..........................holder of Nigeria Passport Number
.... issued in ....

This Certificate is issued to the holder for the purpose of Employment in.................................... and it is valid for 3 months from
the date of issuance.


Please did you get the certificate like the old one or they just sent an approval mail. My question is what exactly are we printing out?

CareerRe: Career Advice Needed. Remain In Dubai Or Accept An Employment Offer In Berlin? by onyi2k(m): 6:41pm On Nov 24, 2021
I was in your shoes some Months ago and I moved to Germany. Life has been good and I have settled in. I am also a developer who worked in 2 banks in Nigeria and one in Qatar.

Move man

No reason am 2times

Greetings, good people of Nairaland

Please I need a piece of honest advice from experienced nairalanders, I am a Software Engineer, I got an offer from a very close friend (He is like a brother to me) of mine that resides in Dubai to come and manage a club he co-owns to enable him time for other activities. I will need to learn how nightclubs operate since I have little or zero knowledge about the nightlife. I have the freedom to pick up side gigs (or remote work) when I can and He is not in any way restricting me but he needs me to learn the business with him.

The plan, in a simple language, when I learn the business well enough he will pull out and open his own so I can be his manager since he doesn't want recognition.

He paid for my flight ticket and was the one that processed the visa for me (tourism) and he is currently working on how my visa can be extended and my work permit too.

Before I came to Dubai, I applied for this opening with a tech firm in Berlin. I completed the last stage here in Dubai and have been sent the offer but I will have to relocate to Germany because the work is on-site, the company bare expenses regards flight ticket, travel insurance, visa process et al. The start salary is 56K euros per annum (gross).

Also, I resigned from a bank as a development specialist (full-time staff not yet confirmed though, was earning 450K naira net with other benefits) prior to my trip to Dubai. I was doing well in Nigeria because I earned a total of up to 800K (with all my works combined) just that the work ethic (the bank work) is toxic to me because you will work your brain out debugging code, plus I am looking at a good place that I can start a family when I am ready and Nigeria is a no for me unless I have enough money to send my kid abroad to study.

What do I do now that I am already in Dubai? I am passionate about tech and I love the echo system. Please any input from experienced fellows will go a long way for me.

Thanks in advance. Mod please help so I can get as much input as possible

RomanceRe: After Introduction, I’m Seeing Too Many Red Flags by onyi2k(m): 2:43am On Jun 24, 2021
You are the problem. This is why I keep telling my catholic brothers to marry from Catholic or Anglican because of such nasty comments.

So your baptism meant you didnt give your life to Christ fa?




mugnmuffin:
Dear Nairalanders,
I have an issue that has been on my mind for weeks now. My fiancé and I have been dating for over three years. I love him and he loves me too. We are physically attracted to each other. We’re both catholic but since I graduated, during my service year I gave my life to Christ, got saved and left the Catholic Church. So I’ve been a Pentecostal Christian since then. He on the other hand is still catholic. I subtly try to nudge him to consider getting saved, i.e acknowledging Christ as lord and savior and becoming born again but he is content with his laidback Christian life.

Earlier this year, he asked to meet my parents and I let him. My parents like him especially because my younger sis is married and they have been waiting for me too. They’re glad I’ve someone. However, after the introduction,I regret it. I’m now certain that he’s not the one. I think about my spiritual life and how lukewarm he is about the things of God, I think about kids and how we’ll raise the, with such differing views about God and I’m discouraged. I feel like I’m settling because he checks all the boxes on the checklist of physical attributes. Another mistake I made is, I didn’t pray about this decision and that worries me because anything that involves him,I just act with pausing to ask God, but I always ask God about other aspects of my life. So it’s like my associating with him is a minus for my spiritual life and that’s a huge cause for concern.

At this point, I want to tell my parents I am not convinced it’s him but I’m afraid of the disappointment this will cause. *sigh* I’ll appreciate your thoughts, comments, criticisms...

Thanks



deadie:
Feel free to drop your contact info if you still need some form of guidance. You will need to obtain a travel insurance to enter Germany to be best of my knowledge, perhaps one for one month. Then you will get a legal insurance once you are here. Fees are pretty much standard at about 15.6% of your income. Don't go for stupid cheap health insurance. All the best.
TravelRe: Just Got My Visa To Travel To Germany For Work, I Am Having Cold Feet. by onyi2k(op): 2:13pm On May 13, 2021
Lol. 4,600 Euro per month before tax


Tinyemeka:
€2,000 per month while living in Germany seems s bit poor to me. undecided

You'd have a better quality of living while earning that amount in the Emirates and live like a millionaire in Nigeria.

Just saying.

Thank you all for your responses.
I have decided to make the move. I have resigned. I am heading to Germany. This is a risk worth taking. Even if e cast, as an IT dude, I will still have a job.

It's a risk not to take a risk.


Thanks

They don't handle Type D visa.
Anabin has verified my credentials. Thanks anyways.


CookieBrown:
VFS global in Qatar handles all visa applications for Germany. Why are you contacting the embassy directly? Why not VFS? I mean, if VFS (You paid for their service) is handling everything, why are you still here asking for insurance? Or you haven't applied at all. Come on. Try harder. A job in IT requires strong educational qualifications which must be verified by competent authorities (see image below). And from the way you write, I doubt you even have a WASSCE or NECO.

It seems the Consular has similar spelling mistakes in the insurance email as you too. Strange.

So my english naim u dey use judge me?

Anyways, no wahala. When i travelled to Watar, my company did everything for me so I did not know what and what was needed.


Drop the hate man. I aint scamming anyone.



CookieBrown:
"I am a software developer with 8yrs experience. I havw worked in 2 banks in Nigeria as a developer". Right. Yet, you spell and write like a 5 year old. The joke is on you! A developer who doesn't know how to use the internet to get a health insurance.

You're a fake, a flake, and a very bad liar. What goes around comes around. This desperate need to scam people and show off with ill gotten proceeds will end you in trouble in the long run.

The new normal. You can work from anywhere

Odingo1:
Is possible to get job outside Germany but the guy narrative is very strange since one need health insurance to get a German work visa in the first place, so what is he looking for another health insurance for and Germans don’t easily allow remote work outside Germany because of issue of tax meaning one can hardly get paid remote work if living outside Germany as OP said he did. Germany don’t like their money to escape from their border, to pay you their money while you are living in a third world country.
TravelRe: Just Got My Visa To Travel To Germany For Work, I Am Having Cold Feet. by onyi2k(op):
Thanks but the German embassy said I need it.



Rhomio:
Well if all you need is a travel insurance from Qatar you can check QIC on google. I live and work in Qatar and I have used it for EU visa several and Germany to be precise. If your visa has been granted, you do not need the travel insurance as no one will ask for it when you are departing from Qatar or when you land in Deutschland. Peace

I have seen a lot of hateful comments here but its fine.

I aint fraudulent. I applied for my visa here in Qatar. They did not ask for travel insurance. My visa is type D which is valid for 6 months. I would apply for bluecard afterwards.
I just realized I would need travel health insurance and wanted to get it in Nigeria because Lagos is my departure port to Frankfurt.

Thank you
