Jonkele:
Hello, please after you went to VFS, how long does it take for the embassy to contact you for interview or was there no interview? How many months bank statement do they need? Thank you

You will be given an appointment date at VFS to visit the embassy (sometimes the next day or two days later depending on the number of persons that attended the interview at VFS).

You need 6 months bank statement

Jonkele:
When I wrote to the Finnish embassy in Nigeria, I asked if I can come along with my dependants, I was told that I can apply for them alongside my application. A friend told me that it's better to enter Finland with your family that if you want to apply for them later, it might be difficult the reason been that of your job isn't paying enough to cater for them, them might be denied.

I've seen people do it both ways and it worked for them�.

Hi all.
Please what are the requirements for a PhD student? Does one need to write an entrance examination? Also is the cost totally free? Thank you.

I really don't know much about PhD study, you can check for more information from the school's website.

Pls is it possible to be schooling as an undergraduate in Finland, working at the same time and be making 2500$ monthly.

I'm asking on behalf of my adopted daughter and the guy kept saying when she arrives in Finland, he will put her through.

She's planning to use a tourist visa to go to Finland and then convert to studies. Is this possible as well?

I don't want anything to happen to her because it won't be funny.

Pls advice

Thank u my Oga

There're 2 types of PhD: salaried and non-salaried. These 2 applied to Nordic, Swiss, and few others around.
For salaried, you are essential a 'staff' but doing research towards your PhD. Just think of a GA in a 9ja uni.
For non-salaried, you might be self-paying or receiving scholarship (partial or full).
For both, you'll typically go through an application process. For the non-salaried, you might have some slack.
The salaried is the default. Essentially, you're not only 'applying' for a PhD slot (with proposal for a research topic), but also for a job! You'll typically go through an interview process.

I got a PhD research position in Finland with a monthly salary. I'll appreciate any information on best practices regarding the resident permit application. I am just starting the process of filling out an online application with enterfinland. I have the signed Hosting agreement from the school. I'll need help with the insurance company to use although my HA stipulates I'll have free occupational health care, it does not start until I arrive but an insurance certificate requirement is needed during the application with VSF. The suggested SIP I contacted is quoting about €440. Thanks

Congrats (or should we say congratulobia). A salaried PhD in Nordic is well worth it.
Your uni hosting agreement should suffice as this is a salaried doctorate and not a scholarship doctorate. However, you may get an insurance if you feel uncomfortable (see addendum below).
The application section for salaried doctorate is #researcher.
Residence permit application for a researcher: ... study for a licentiate degree or prepare a doctoral dissertation https://migri.fi/en/researcher
Also, pay attention to the sections:
- Requirements
- Application-specific attachments
The agreement signed by the researcher and the research organisation, containing the following information: ... ...

Kindly get confirmation from your promoter/supervisor or the international office (actually from HR in your case)

NB : The application link starts from [url]migri.fi/en/i-want-a-residence-permit[/url]
[Addendum] in general, the applicable rule or determining factor is ... (health) insurance must be valid when you arrive in Finland.
