First, you need to apply for the visa, and if your application is taken into consideration, then, you may be called for an interview after which you may be told the hospital to go for the medical examination, (it is possible that you would be informed to go for the medical exams even without interview).

You will not be required to go for the medical exams if your e]

how does this asylum of a thing works

Why do you want to seek for Asylum? I have a suggestion for you, the best country to seek Asylum is Iraq. Afghanistan is also good. Free residency, lot of jobs and free accommodation

how to get estonia visa from nigeria @ nairaland

expensivestevie:
My advice about Estonia is quite simple, do not come here if your intention is to work (a white collar job) to support your studies. Jobs are hard to come by, not because you are black, but because the jobs are not so many in the labour market. Also this issue of racism is sometimes taken too extreme and I do not know why. This is 2014 and racism in Estonia is relatively very very low. If you are in a school town environment like Tartu, you might be looked at strangely by older folks purely because they've actually not seen a black person in their whole life, but the younger lads (18 - 30) are very cool and even most times like blacks out of curiosity. Estonians are very shy but if you get to know them they are very nice people. If you come to Tartu to study, try staying at the Raatuse dorm because there's a lot of international students here and you would find it to be a wonderful experience.

Regarding skinheads, they actually are almost nonexistent right now though once in a blue moon you could see a skinhead or a NeoNazi clown but they rarely get violent (Never seen anyone yet though). You could be called a nigga a lot of times but as a Nigerian I dont see the Nigga word as a big deal though all my African American friends always make a fuss if they're called Niggas by whites, also in Estonia the word Neega is used to refer to black people so it might not necessarily be a racist slur but just somebody trying to explain that you're african. The downside though is that Estonia is f**king cold and you could get quite a lot of white nights.

If you want to enjoy your stay as a student in Estonia, please have your own money. The cost of living isn't high at all and with 250euros per month you could survive comfortably (provided you are staying in a dorm)....... plus students get a lot of discounts too.

Estonian education is getting better by the day but that has also made it very competitive lately due to the high increase of international students from neighboring Baltic countries and also Finland (Though Finland is considered a Nordic country). Estonia is quite beautiful during summer and quite a lot of the young generation actually understands simple and easy English.

All in all, I am trying to say if you want to come to estonia for purely study purpose with adequate finance for your studies and are not one with an extravagant lifestyle, 1million naira for an academic year would cover costs (not including accomodation, but accomodation in hostels are affordable. Maximum of 100euros per bed in a twin room). The headache though would be getting into the universities because without a first class, your chances of being admitted are quite slim, not to talk of getting a scholarship.

Estonian language classes can be taken as credit or non credit courses and my honest advice to anyone planning to come to Estonia is to take advantage of it and learn the Eesti language. You would surely be more appealing to even the older folks who haven't seen black people if they notice you can speak their language.

Lastly, always make sure you try going somewhere out of Estonia during summer. At least try visiting another country during one of your summer holidays if you come here to study. I'd advice Siena in Italy. The impression that all courses in Estonian universities are actually free is very very wrong...... Some courses actually require you to pay tuition fees so be very careful

Goodluck everyone

1. Although you can travel to any Schengen state and remain for up to three months, but (as a holder of a Hungarian visa/residence permit) you are not entitled to work in any other Schengen state: working in another Schengen state is a breach of the terms and conditions of the visa/permit, and that could incur cancellation of the visa/permit.

2. After your study, (assuming you now work with an Hungarian long term resident permit) you still can not work in another Schengen state except you apply for a professional job and your employer applies for work permit for you.
Another way that you may be entitled to work in another Schengen state is if you are a spouse of an EU citizen, in this case, you can relocate (together with your spouse) to any EU country under the EU Treaty Rights.

3. Hungarian citizens do not need visa to Canada for tourism, yet, they need visa to reside for more than three months or to work therein. As a Nigerian with Hungarian visa or work permit, the only way you can migrate to Canada from Hungary is through their visa programmes (the same way that a home-based Nigerian would apply for a visa).

[quote author=Vicjustice post=1693301]As someone who has been to Malta, the Czech Rep, Russia, Germany, Greece, Turkey, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Croatia, Canada, Benin Rep. Nigeria, France, Ireland, England, Italy and Spain, i think it's high time i disclosed some certain matters of concern, to narrate some of my important experiences so as to make Nigerians understand more than enough when it comes to travel matters.
   If i mentioned that i was born in Europe, they would say that i'm lost, if i mentioned that i was born in Africa, they would say that i was/am an illegal immigrant in Europe: if i said that i'm new in Europe, they would say that i'm a JJC or inexperienced, and if i said that i've been in Europe for ages, they would say that i'm frustrated and in need of residence permit documents. So, whatever one says, they have negative answers for them. Therefore, i think it is better to leave those who are fault finders to their own puzzles

*Malta Island, February (year withheld). the weather was chill, i surveyed the beautiful country to see what it can offer: the economy was considerably good for its low population of less than 400.000 people, but it doesn't promise much due to its size and limited resources, it is not an ideal place for inflow of legal immigrants how much more for the illegals, the immigration law is remarkably strict due to the fact that they can not accommodate large number of people.

* The Czech Rep. February (year withheld): I was in the city of Prague and the temperature during my stay ranged between -17 and -24 degree celsius, all ground covered in white, all through my short stay until my departure day, it was remarkable that i saw no black African, not even one, the only black guy i saw was an American army on transit with his white colleagues. My assessment about the Czech republic is that it's not a place for "hustlers" but it serves as an ideal place for courses, assignments or duties.

*In the course of time, i was involved with the organisation, D.W.B, and was posted to Athens, Greece. i could do without the Greek language, but because of the educational value of the legend Greek language, i took interest to study it; an achievement i'm now pleased about.
   Greece is a very beautiful country and it's a hot spot for tourism: But you rarely see any eminent Nigerian in Greece; believe me, i don't think there are countries that would produce swams of embarrassing citizens who humiliate themselves in the name of "hustle" to the disgrace of their nations than the Nigerians in Greece, Italy and Spain: many thanks to their locations which make them the arrival places for illegal immigrants.
   It is remarkable that 92% of the Nigerians in Greece did not enter the country with visas, they smuggled into the country from neighbouring countries like Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey and Albania.
   The life styles of the Nigerians in Greece are terrible and ridiculously embarrassing, about 90% of them are either illiterate or half educated. thus making them suitable for the demeaning activities that they would carry out to survive: the "GBURU" hustle.
   In the past, there used to be only the Yorubas and a countable number of other Nigerian students in Greece, but things became funny when the "Onitsha" guys flocked in and began to hawk fake Roloi (wristwatches) and then-after, pirated CDs and por'no DVDs. Their target markets are crowded places like Cafeteria, Pubs, Bars, Beaches, and Restaurants where they often make their customers uncomfortable with their body odours. oftentimes you'd see Nigerian guys running in the streets from fat police officers who seldom succeed in catching them: and sometimes, when surrounded by the police while doing their business inside crowded indoor cafeterias, they would manage to escape by jumping over or smashing tables full with drinks and food that would splash and mess up the clothes of the customers, and by pushing away or knocking down those who aren't quick enough to get off their escape way.
   Because of the Nigerian CDs and po'rno DVDs hawkers, the Greek authority was compelled to create a special police unit by recruiting young, agile and athletic officers known as the Alodapon Astynomia (or foreigners mobile squad), these enthusiastic young officers eventually declared total war on both illegal immigrants (or residents) and unauthorized hawkers, thus leading to the mass frustration of the Nigerians living in Greece.
NOTE: I'm a circular person and i do not mind saying the fact no matter what people that are involved. . .
  I'm not specifying that the embarrassing Nigerians are those from "Onitsha", in fact, it wasn't me who nicknamed them "see Onitsha see Europe".  This is the slogan the Ndi-Igbo use against those who they consider to be less educated or over zealous in "hustle".

*The Baltic, June: I Arrived Latvia for my assignment in the Baltic states namely, Latvia Estonia and Lithuania. I'll use Estonia as the subject point to tell you some facts about these three countries and other eastern European countries.
   Estonia, though it joined the EU in 2004, was not a member of the schengen states (until recently, Dec 21, 2007). A visa for Estonia was in accordance with the Baltic States Treaty (an agreement which made it also valid for Latvia and Lithuania only). The Baltic is the sea that connects to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia: These three states are sister countries that used to be under the Soviet Union: in 2006, the temperature there dropped to -40 degree celsius.
   The economy in Estonia is not encouraging for people who want to make it abroad, even the Estonians are everywhere in richer EU states for better paid jobs.
   Estonia (like Latvia and Lithuania) is only popular for tourism purposes, it's not an ideal destination for someone who's in pursuit of greener pastures.
   Estonia is a place where you rarely see black people, perhaps 5 blacks in a month and this is only in Talin, the capital city.
    While most people are curious to make friends with Blacks, the racists there are of high degree: imagine a place where there are uncountable number of Russian skin-heads who would shoot or stab any "makaka" (Russian word for monkey).
   A remarkable percentage of Estonian citizens (Like in Latvia and Lithuania) are ethnic RUSSIANS. The few African students there are hell afraid for their lives, some have witnessed their fellows being shot, stabbed or beaten up in the streets, even to death, they are too few to revolt and many are financially broke, they need help!
   I have been attacked by these skin-heads two times in just three weeks, but i was lucky enough to escape without injuries, not every one is this lucky, they've shot, stabbed and even beaten many Blacks or Asian-looking people to death.
   Imagine a place where a black man is afraid to walk alone in the dark or in an empty street, this is the situation there.
   Though they joined the EU, but the EU laws that forbid open racism do not exist there: God is my witness that i'm saying the truth: you'd consider yourself fortunate if somebody says to your face "Go home nigger" or calls you "makaka" because, the same person could have shot or stabbed you and ran away. Reporting physical abuse or verbal racist attacks is a very familiar thing to the local police: when foreign tourists or residents report such, the police often take little or no action especially if there is no death nor serious injuries involved.
   I do not advise any Nigerian (desperate to make it abroad) to consider Estonia except if you're going with a group of tourists for tourism: I was there on a assignment, but yet, It was not safe, and worse still, you can not make it there except you have to rob a bank; or can you live with $270 (186 Euros) a month in Europe?
   I feel sorry for those potential victims of "check out", and my humble advise is: if you must check out, do so to any of the countries that promise hope but NEVER Estonia.
   Do not take a risk to travel to a country where you can NEVER, and i mean NEVER find a job how much more to talk about the wages: People there do not understand English, just Russian and the Eesti Languages (except some very few young ones who recently began to show interest in English Language).
   Unlike the good EU countries where black people can "vanish" into black communities, a black man in Estonia and other eastern European countries is an obvious figure, so, it's easy to pick him up as soon as his visa expires: a black man can not hide among white people; therefore, attempting to "vanish" into other EU countries from Estonia is as risky as swimming across a river that is infested with crocodiles.
   Estonia population is just 1,415,681, (far less than 1.5 million). Black people don't live in estonia the few you see there are students who are badly in need of help like those in Russia and some other poor European countries.
**********************************************************************************
   *Taking the Urban train as you leave Berlin Schoenefeld airport and passing through those impressive tall office facilities, then looking at your right as you see the huge Mercedes Benz building, even before getting to the city centre, one can tell that Germany indeed merits the title "Europe biggest economy"; to my observation, there's no country in Europe that is more developed than Germany; a coutry full of massive structures, companies and industrial facilities, where everything looks new and clean, where you hardly see any vehicle that is up to 5 years old. Mind you, it's capability of accommodating and maintaining a population of over 83 million people above poverty level explains that its indeed a great nation, and the most developed one in Europe.

   *Canada, with it's size bigger than the USA and a population of less than 32 million is highly underpopulated and in need of immigrants, i visited my brother who lives in Ontario region, his wife is an accountant masters degree holder from Nigeria, but she has recently began to attend a school of nursing because of the lucrative medical industry in Canada. Those who are illegal residents are not having hard times there: The good thing is, Canada does not deport immigrants for reason of documentation, the country needs them to stay, but the Canadian authority is only being careful about who they legalise because, despite the overwhelming opportunities in Canada, many Nigerians are involved in illegal activities relating to frauds and scams

*    It's more or less frequently raining in Ireland: temperate maritime; modified by North Atlantic Current; mild winters, cool summers; consistently humid; overcast about half the time.
  Ireland and the UK have their hands full and tight with immigrants; both documented and undocumented, students and families, asylum seekers and naturalised dwellers.
  Though there are opportunities in these two countries, and while Ireland may be appealing because of its rich and generous social welfare programmes,  if you are a student, you are only like any other African or Asia students once in Ireland because, the education system (for those who are already in the state) is come-one-come-all: so, doing your education here does not guarantee you anything enviable afterall, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants from Africa and Asia do attend same schools. But if you are permitted to work in Ireland, believe me, they pay more than most big name countries in the world, not even the USA nor the UK can compete with Ireland in minimum wages.
   Irish people are very nice but extremely lazy, they enjoy the extravagant "social welfare" system in the country which makes them unwilling to work: they go to the post offices every week to collect free Social, Unemployment, Disability, Sick, or House Allowance "benefit" which is often about 246 Euro ($354) per week: There are also child benefits for every single child in Ireland irrespective of the parent/s status; too many Nigerian women are single parents in Ireland.
   There use to be immigration programmes schemes organised by the Irish government in poor Asian countries like Bangladesh China and the Philippines, this was designed to import working immigrants to the benefit of the Irish economy which has boosted remarkably in recent years, in fact, it's rated the 2nd best in the word after Luxembourg. This programme came to a halt when it became dawn that the EU would expand by 10 additional countries mainly from East Europe with feeble economies, and their citizens would flock into Ireland sooner or later.
  Currently, there are about six hundred thousand Polish nationals in Ireland alone which means, one in six people you see in Ireland is Polish; thus making things complicated for the government to consider giving residence-permit documents to Asylum seekers: the Irish authority believes that they have more than enough immigrants.
  In the past, there used to be an immigration law that says whoever is born in Ireland (irrespective of the parents immigration status) is automatically an Irish Born Citizen (IBC), and their mothers are given residence status of PIBC (Parents of Irish Born Citizen): such residence status known as the Stamp4 recidence card was easy to obtain until December 2004 after Poland and the other poor countries joined the European Union.
  There is seldom border control between the UK and the Republic of Ireland, this made it easy for undocumented pregnant women in the UK to enter the country and give birth to Irish Citizens. Many people, both single and married African women forced themselves pregnant without husbands or regular boyfriends. . . Things became funny when the single mothers would accept payments of about 5000 Euro from Nigerian men who would claim to be the arriving fathers of the IBCs in order to get the PIBC status.  The Irish authority has been fooled in thousands of such frauds, until they introduced the DNA test into immigration which eventually led to the arrests and fleeing of many men who have already benefited from the IBC frauds.
   Many Nigerian women that got pregnant and came to Ireland to give birth are now facing frustrations in Ireland with their kids because the IBC law was amended before they could give birth. They now live in asylum seekers hostels nationwide with uncertain futures. Some have been deported and many more have been served deportation letters; howbeit, many have been granted leave to remain on humanitarian grounds and good conduct reports
   
   The reason i came up with this article is to explain (due to my campaigns) the things that are going on and the fact of what are to be expected in some countries contrary to what "travel agents" would want you to believe.

Thank you so much Sir for the information
