It depends on your goals and aspiration

Academics
Prepare to study
Prepare for at least two Assignment weekly
Prepare for Presentation on courses

On work&Opportunity
U will get 5/6 euros per hour in Tartu (Non-IT jobs)

Visa
Prepare to convince the consulate during the Visa interview. They offer Visa to students easily if u met the criteria but according to my experience PhD are seriously screen. The University has no influence or assistance on securing Visa if you are given admission

Where's the Estonian consulate in Abuja

There will always be a job where ever you go to but you won't get if you stick and insist to get a job related to your niche alone. In Europe here, Ur skill matter

Hope you have done your research about how to go about the PhD application.

kakakii:
Let me drop my contribution here from Estonia. . .

I will skip the school process and go on with the Visa Application...

i will say this, as a Nigerian your best bet is UAE in this period, but if you have other means such as India, turkey or Israel please try it.

QUESTIONS ASKED DURING INTERVIEW

1. which school did you get admitted to?

4. what is your plan after your studies ?

7. when was that ? ( i told her i don't remember the year )

8. my relationship with my sponsor

9. she asked how will i be able to support myself if my sponsor refuse ( i told her i will take part job )

apart from the 2nd question which i gave a very long answer, the rest just one word answer


i did my finger print and stayed in Hotel in Abu dhabi for 4 days , then i receive mail that my visa was granted

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAQ

1. i am doing BSC ( the interview process and funds needed are mostly the same )

2. Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania don't care about your age if you are going for BSC ( i am age 29 - 31 ) . one my coursemate is a 40 year old man


JOB
there is no job in Estonia except you are very good in I.T, companies would sponsor you to school if you are very good in I.T

apart from I.T the only job available are delivery, uber and plate washing in restaurant ... you earn an average of 30-40 euro per day


if you have the money you can buy your own Uber car and be driving, it's much more better and you can make around 1500 euro monthly. just come with your Nigeria drivers license then you convert .. there is no job in Estonia but nothing is impossible

RENT

if you want to stay in hostel you will be paying around 200 euro monthly with utilities .. it's not bad at all

if you are looking to live outside the hostel please be ready to be frustrated, once you call landlord and they see you are a student, they stop picking your call, some will not pick your call again once they see you are black..

be ready to pay like 3 months rent upfront, you might be lucky, nothing is impossible

FOOD

food here is dirt cheap except you are looking for African food which is very very expensive ...


OVERVIEW ...

apart from the housing experience, there is nothing negative to say about Estonian, most are very nice ( but blunt ), job is not readily available but a lot of I.T opportunities, you also have access to other EU countries. it is very cold here, you only see sun 3 months out of 12 months. it's going to be hard at first believe me, weather can be depressing but you will get use to it as times goes on. also be ready for a lot of assignment, no matter the school you are going in Estonia, they gives assignment for fund and assume you know most things.

there are 3 major language in Estonia... English, Russian and Estonia language .. young adults speak English and Russia while the old speaks Estonian language , it can be frustrating because Russian speakers plenty pass English speakers ... Transportation is free in Tallinn via city bus


you can work 24/7 with your TRP in Estonia as long as you don't score below 51% in school, if you score below 51% you will be deported ( long story but the short version is you will be deported ). you can't bring your family if you are on BSC but you can bring your family after a year if you are on masters , you can bring your family immediately if you are on Phd.


you can't bring beef, milk or any dairy product into Estonia ( they seized my ponmon and beef at the immigration )

of course all i typed is based on my experience and others around me here, please don't take it as rule ...

What's the "sponosor and bank reference letter"?

As much as I like this your wonderful write up. I disagreed with the what you said about JOB. It is totally wrong, as someone who has been in Estonia for 6 years. I don't work in IT. In fact, 70% of Africans in Estonia don't work in IT, you can even work 2 jobs if time permits. Job opportunities are on the rise in Estonia now as new companies are currently emerging.

Sorry I quoted you in error

I need answer(s) please..

Hello,

I'm Quadri and am interested in studying in a Bsc course in Estonia
i'm 31 and am about applying at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech)

From my research, am till not clear on the visa submitting, i will appreciate if anyone could explain how to submit my visa application for studies after getting admission from the university.

thanks

cuteesthy:
So far so good, it's been 3months since I landed in Estonia.
Sch work had been hectic,d good thing is that i am adujsting to this new environment

Pls can I email you, would love to get information on how to get a visa appointment

slysite4real:
Cost of living is affordable.
Hostel rent is around 80-100 euro/month
Food is affordable. 1kg of rice is around 1.6 euro
Transportation is affordable. Public transport in Tallinn is free, in Tartu it is 7 euro/ month for students.
There is always something for everybody.

Food delivery business ( food couriers) has become very popular in Estonia. It is now one of the biggest 'employer' of labour. Almost everyone who wants to be a courier is employed! Income from it is enough to earn you a modest life.
It is also possible to get jobs in IT, catering, cleaning, and other sectors.

Blacks are not strangers in Estonia anymore. Some Estonians are married to blacks. Many blacks (including Nigeria) have become Estonian citizens.
It is a safe country for all.

That's great, but the issue of them not having embassy in Nigeria though, if one want to go to countries like India or Egypt for visa appointment how much should one budget please

Is there any student studying in Tallinn University here?

Yes. Try EBS. But be ready to pass their interview in flying colors, so that they don’t put you on a ‘wait list’. You can only be reconsidered for admission, if they don’t have full class yet.

Everything has been previously explained. You can check the previous pages. It is something you can do yourself on dream apply. You don't need an agent 100% for registration. I can help with documents sending/submission and payment process
