chatinent: Nigeria will be good but it may not be in our lifetime. If you get the opportunity, Japa my brother. I have only experienced power failure once in 10 years and it was for about 10 minutes. I don't lock my doors for my kids to come in after school, even when nobody is at home. Public schools are free so no worries for school fees. No hold up for roads. I just filed for taxes and the government gave back a refund of almost $8000. I can vote for my candidate here without intimidation and everybody dey respect each other wella. If you have the opportunity, Japa my broda. I have a lot of people reaching out to me who are doing very well in Nigeria, some are doctors and others have good landed properties. You will be surprised how desperate people want to get out. A lot of our leaders do not even believe in Nigeria and they send their kids abroad. Sometimes, them say e go better, e go better, na hin labalaba take dey enter inside bush. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Kindly advise @Skyview01, what's the best way to move to Denmark? Are their work visas or student visas? Does someone who has a Diploma stand a chance? |
Re: Denmark Visa From Nigeria – How To Apply For Danish Schengen Visa Application by Nobody: 7:27am On Mar 22, 2023 |
Mykelslim: In most of these countries, if you are going after work visas, you will need to look for companies that are willing to hire you from Nigeria, apply for jobs and get an offer, and the companies will now sponsor you for the work visas. To be candid, this is usually difficult. It's way easier if you have tons of experience in a profession like IT or a medical doctor. Studies- Yes, this is always a feasible option you might want to explore. |

Hello Travelers! As a Canadian expat, I've had the opportunity to travel to many different cities around the world, and safety is always one of my top priorities for me. That's why I was thrilled to discover that Copenhagen has been ranked as the safest city in the world according to a recent study. If you're interested in reading more about the study that ranked Copenhagen as the safest city, you can check out this source: https://govisafree.com/safest-cities-in-the-world/. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and insights! I've personally spent some time in Copenhagen, and I can attest to how safe and secure the city feels. From well-lit streets to efficient public transportation, the city seems to have thought of everything to ensure the safety of its residents and visitors. But I'm curious to hear from other travelers - what do you think about Copenhagen as the safest city in the world? Have you had any experiences that would support or contradict this ranking? And of course, do you have any other cities that you would consider to be incredibly safe and secure? |
Re: Denmark Visa From Nigeria – How To Apply For Danish Schengen Visa Application by Nobody: 3:39am On Mar 23, 2023 |
Mykelslim: What is your background ? What did you study in school and work experience ?. This will determine the course to select at the post-graduate diploma level and will serve to provide good justifications for the purpose of your travel to visa officer. If you are looking to change career and select a completely different course of study at variance with your background, that is still very feasible but you will have the arduous task of providing strong justifications for the career change and your objectives for such change. Or do you have a career field in mind. How to go about it . We determine your background. We search for program information relevant to your background. Contact the school and apply for admission. Get a letter of acceptance to include in your visa application. |

You need to have updated information on this. Visa fees for Denmark are no longer paid at VFS. Applicants are required to pay directly to the Embassy (in Danish Krone) using their debit card at the time of filling their visa application. VFS Service charge is also N6396 not N5200. Although Denmark has an Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, most visa applications from Nigeria are now adjudicated in Morocco. Skyview01: 1 Like |
