For Authentication, since school don't give transcript, how do I get it to Ministry of Education. Is it something I can send online before traveling to Abuja and I have to be at the ministry to get info on how to proceed. Pls anyone that knows should reply.
Inform your school to send the official hard copy to the Ministry of Education. Once it has been sent you can pick it up

For now your best bet in Wels is "Kolpinghaus Wels" though you stand a better chance in Linz in terms of availability and pricing. I dont see any disadvantage in living in Linz while your centre of activity is in Wels because it is only 15minutes train drive away from Linz.

The money you may save on rental living in Linz will be enough to buy you a 'Klimaticket Austria' with which can use any public Transport anywhere in Austria at no extra cost.

Like in Wels your best bet in Linz at this initial stage are sudent hostels. of which there are a good number " Europahaus Linz" for example.

For non student hostel accommodation, housing cooperatives like WAG and VLW are known for fair pricing, they are both present in Linz and Wels.

Avoid taking up accommodation in the small towns like Lambach and Steinhaus that surrounds Wels unless u have a car.

Sorry I'm just replying, you are amazing!!!....I really appreciate your input, Thank you so much

I noticed that there are only few and many closed threads on the life, study , Visa requirement and processes for Austria. Is it that there are no Nigerian student over there? Please this thread is created for the purpose of enlightenment on the said topics.
I know a few of the process already. But people's personal experience will go along way to help those interested in following this path.

I await your contributions.
I recently traveled to Austria and honestly ir is much cheaper than going to the UK or US and Canada. I have made a video explaining the process for study visa. Check here: https://youtu.be/gGlyrYiSe04?si=j41WKIMCJ1K0TaFU

This write up is for every Nigerian who is planning to JAPA to Europe especially to Austria and other none english speaking countries.
I am making this right up from Austria and out of personal experience not hear say. I am also not making this write up to discourage anybody, instill fear or out of hate for Austrians but out of my deep analysis of the Austrian and European (none english speaking) society and to caution my fellow nigerians before to they get into serious regrettable situation in the quest to relocate.
I spent a fortune coming to Austria with my family some few years back but as of today I totally regret and curse the day, I made that decision.
First I came here as a masters student, with the hopes of studying to land a better job afterwards. I also came with alot of professional work experience from Nigeria. As of today, I have made over two hundred applications for jobs, all have ended up in rejections. 40% of the rejections was received within few hours of my application.
That aside, I will advice Nigerians before you JAPA it is good one considers the following which are some of the mistake I made;
1. What is official language of the country you are migrating to? If it is not English language, please do not ever waste your time and money going there.
2. How many Nigerians and other black people live in that country?
Few blacks live here because blacks are not accepted by Austrians systematically. Most blacks here are very unhappy and are always considering going to another country. Also the suffering here is way too much. Pathways to getting a permanent residence is not open for black people either as an Assylum seeker or a graduate student.
3. What type of jobs do they do? Most Nigerians are suffering with menial unsteady work abroad but they will never tell you. In Austria for instance the number of Black people on Professional jobs is less than 1 percent. Some of those jobs were even obtained after donkey years of hard labour. If you think your case will be different, sorry is your name. Most Nigerians in Austrians only distribute Newspapers in the middle of every night. This is only jobs available for black people including graduates. You will still see 50-60 years old men in the middle of the night still moving from house to house throwing papers. If you call it hustle, I call it humiliation. Why cant blacks access better jobs? The answer is racism and hate. The professional white collar job circle is bureacractically closed against black people from third world countries.
If there is any job available, their law has it that an Austrian is first considered, second are citizens from other European countries and prolly North Americans, third are asians and then subsequently are animals before any black man. This explains why you see black graduates who are jobless, either selling newspaper in the middle of every night, or washing plates in restaurants (the lucky once).
I will advice, if you earn 200k in Nigeria, no matter the hardship, omo stay home and do business. Yes, I hear of kidnapping, rising cost of living but Nigeria is still better than being a slave in Austria. I am also fighting to get a job in Nigeria, of which if i get any, I will appear in Nigeria with any available flight.
4. What is the acceptability of black people into their society? Austria have always been ranked as the most unfriendly people/country in Europe and infact among all the western countries. Austrians hate their own fellow Europeans. Within few weeks of my arrival I made friends with Germans and Italians. They complained bitterly of rascism and hate even when they speak Deutsch and also adviced few us blacks to be prepared for these experiences or leave the country. I thought my case will be different, but as the days unfold and I faced the worsed bitter truth.
If Austrians can express hate to their fellow oyibo, bros as a black no matter your qualification, you are less than animal in the eyes of an Austrian.
5. Check the number of Nigerian graduates in that country and how they fared after graduation. Do not be deceived by their offer of Cheap education. Those cheap education is not designed for black people rather for themselves. Now note this, they simply made that system so you can study there and go home. For an employer to hire you as a black, the law states that you must be offered 3600 Euros per month Salary. This is a country were the average salary per month is 1200- 2000 Euros. Which employer will offer a black man 3600 Euros? Again they demand fluency in speak B1-B2 Deustch. Deutsch is one of the most difficult Language to learn in the world. Again Learning the language does not guarantee you a job in Austria as a black. The rule of considering Austrians, Other Europeans, North Americans, Asians, Animals before a black will still haunt you.
6. How many black people own businesses or are in positions of Authourities?
One of the ridiculous and shocking things I discovered here is that most black people here are not Business owners and even as employees, they are always in the lowest cadre in every organization. This is bad a sign for any potential Nigerian planning to come here, because you will eventually end up where your mates are. You will see Nigerians who have spent over 15 years here still doing menial jobs. So when you hear them say,'I will help you' omo all na wash. They no get any levels. No Nigerian is a boss in any establishment. I also noticed that sharp nigerian graduates, disappear once after graduation to english speaking countries. Austria is littered with black people with Asylum seeking status. 80 percent of the blacks you meet here are on assylum or migrated through it. Those people follow spoil our names for Austria. So in the eyes of Austrians, both Students and other black assylum are all same. We are all treated like piece of shit.
Here doing business is quite expensive and virtually impossible for blacks. The best you can see are Nigerians collecting used tyres for export and maybe one or two who own African shops (barely 0.001 percent of all the blacks in the country).
Back to my job haunting experience, I have to be honest with you folks, I made a very beautiful result and grades yet I have not secured an interview in 1 year and 7 months. I have inquired from Employers, Employees, Government offices AMS, Austrians why all these rejection. The Answer i get is that, ' you are from Africa and we do not know who you are'. I am not surprised, Hitler Adolf was an Austrian.....Now you should know who Austrians are. Those documents that you pay hundreds or thousand to legalize mean nothing here except to tell your school that they are not forged.
So fellow NIgerians, before you visit that Embassy in Nos 9 Ufuma Street Maitama, have a rethink. Austria is not worth spending a dime migrating to. I fully understand the terrible situation at home, but I would not encourage anyone to experience the constant depression, systematic rejection, racism and hate I face here. I am still spending my savings from Nigeria and the situation is not getting better. As I earlier stated, my greatest joy will come once I land a job at home and go back to my Nigeria. Most Nigerians here are also fond of not telling the truth, they will never tell u the real situation of things till you arrive here. Also do not judge by currency rates (1Euro = 1500 naira blablabla). I also stated that the average salary in Austria is in the range of 1000- 2000 Euros. Euros used to be 250# and someone on 400k naira salary or makes such in business is way more better than an Austrian. Remember rent is paid monthly, including various insurance. A 10 percent better Nigeria is better than Austria.
Life is not all about money. If the energy you spend doing menial work in Nigeria is spent hustling legitmately in Nigeria, omo you will make it in Life and still keep your diginity. My simple message is ' Do not migrate to Austria and other none english speaking countries'. You will have yourself to blame.
