Ok sir, but for me to use OKB I have to have a visa already right ? And I did some research’s today and I saw that I have to apply for my visa appointment 2 months before the day I want to depart and school starts next month. Is there a way I can meet up ?

You can apply for visa now ...2 months talk is general not fixed. Just go and apply for visa ...visit Turkish embassy website Abuja for details SIMPLE AS ABC.

Also, OKTB and visa and two different things. And not related to each other.

Please visit Turkish embassy Abuja for visa procedure ...

@wip7 already replied someone up there, it doesn’t have to be 2 months because the visa duration is not fixed. Oktb is alternative to visa. You can go for either of the two.

Ok to board can be used by a person to board an airline (provided it is approved by the airline). All you need to do is present all the necessary travel documents as approved by the embassy at the airport and you'll be allowed to board.

Transit Visa fees should be paid in dollars not naira.
Re: North Cyprus: Part 2 by wip7: 11:13am On Aug 12, 2020
Dharryedu:


Ok to board is the alternative, it is the visa itself, Just present all the necessary travel documents when you check in at the airport.

Please stop posting contrasting information on this thread.

OKTB is not a visa. Visa is a sticker pasted on applicant passport after meeting all embassy requirements and the visa can be used via any airline.

OKTB is a code only seen by the airlines official during the trip, not a sticker and cannot be used by any airline ...it’s can only be used just by the airline that approved the OKTB.

At embassy: they request USD not naira. I encourage you to go with USD and ensure the date of printing the dollar note isn’t very old as often the embassy or the MZ office that currently handles the visa submission often turn applicants with old notes back.

Also, students who graduate from North Cyprus universities could get a working permit if they have finished at least their undergraduate studies. However, Graduates need to have an offer from an employer before they can apply for a work permit. In most cases, the employer applies on the worker’s behalf to get the necessary permits from the government before the worker starts to actually work in that employer’s company..

No 1-year post graduation visa in Cyprus . There is nothing like that.

In Cyprus both North and South; if students find a job and the employer apply for work permit then students can stay according to that work permit conditions if not students are given few months to leave or become illegal.

Also, students who graduate from North Cyprus universities could get a working permit and work in many corporate companies such as banks, hotels, department etc if they have finished at least their undergraduate studies. However, Graduates need to have an offer from an employer before they can apply for a permanent work and residence permit. In most cases, the employer applies on the worker’s behalf to get the necessary permits from the government before the worker starts to actually work in that employer’s company..

There is nothing like permanent WORK and residence permit in North Cyprus.

If a person get employed you only get a work permit that has different classes based on type of employment. This is not permanent, it’s temporary and renewable by the employer.

A person can only apply for permanent residency called white card in North Cyprus after working in TRNC with temporary work permits for 6 years without interruption.

NOTE:
Also; very few foreign graduate work in Cyprus banks and those few are commonly those having western countries passport.

Embassies or consulates provide steps on their websites that’s where you should go.


Visit Turkish embassy website you will find steps and procedure for North Cyprus.

Visit Cyprus consulate website you will find steps and procedures for south Cyprus.

If you are taking a room in a 3 bedroom apartment, 600 tl might cover but take note most of their apartment in Turkey are empty like Nigeria unlike Cyprus apartment that are furnished . Standard of living is fair , I’ve lived in Ankara and then Istanbul through this year so the cities are almost the same.

Good morning, I just bumped into this thread, I've read from from the first page to this one, I have few questions and clarifications as I have read some articles and write ups.
1. I know that North Cyprus isn't EU, does this have any effect on the certificate?
2. The certificate you get from any university in NC how viable/strong is it?
3. The certificate you get from the universities in NC is it recognised in foreign countries, i.e Canada, US and UK?
4. The certificate you get is it also more relevant or powerful than any school in Nigeria?
5. Does the labour market or Nigerian government employ people with certificate from NC?
6. After completing a program like PhD, how easy is it to get a job in NC?

1. I know that North Cyprus isn't EU, does this have any effect on the certificate?

Has no single effect even no tiniest effect. The Philippines is a country in Southeast Asia and not EU country, you will find almost all Filipino engineers, doctors and Nurses littered accross the globe from USA to Africa.....so beign graduated from EU universities does not confer the graduates Kingship nor divine protection; USA is not EU either.

2. The certificate you get from any university in NC how viable/strong is it?

If you go to work in Canada (my experience personally): they asked me if my certificates have received equivalency letter which I showed them. Next questions were on my CV and profile....have never beign asked if I graduate in Ondo state or Famagusta in NC. They were more interested in my skills, experience and what am bringing to the Table. Not only me, I have graduated PhD/master students already and currently working in USA and Canada and Aussie ...these questions of of is NC or SC or EC never came up. One thing you need to know is; if you study in USA and want to work in USA or you study in Canada and want to work in Canada, based on the system and familiarity, they know the universities in Canada and easy for them to evaluate the quality and many other things. But if you are coming from Congo to work in USA, theydont know the Congo university and they need to check if the standards sometimes meet up.............

About how viable is the certificate from NC; I have attached 2020 THE (reputable university ranking..the is impact ranking for universities globally in 2020 so hopes that answers this question).


3. The certificate you get from the universities in NC is it recognised in foreign countries, i.e Canada, US and UK?

Thousands of graduates are working globally in developed, developing and underdeveloped countries with NC certificates just like thousands from Nigeria and African countries are working globally.

4. The certificate you get is it also more relevant or powerful than any school in Nigeria?


In real world now (not virtual or imaginary world): your CV impact is threading largely. If you graduates from Heaven with no valuable, no demanding or unique skills, experience or competitive profile you will not get a job and if someone graduates from HELL with such skills, that person will be CEO and get job faster and do well and compete favorably. Universities in TRNC dont go on strike, if you are to graduate in 3-4 years, you will graduate if you are serious, they have electricities, accommodation and the lecturer (like me I dont know others, I get paid well and I make huge income from my research funds and publication....[b]in 2020 inside pandemic, from Turkish govenment and my university (its verifiable records) I will be making approx 50 mill naira from Publication Award from my research (CONFIRMED) so why wont I want to teach well....I dont know about others ooooooo)




5. Does the labour market or Nigerian government employ people with certificate from NC?

IS NC HELL or satan house? because I dont know why they wont want to employ the graduates. The question should be does Nigerian graduates in Nigeria get employed in Nigeria? Anyway, employment and certificates appears different....if you get a job and have a competitive profile, demanding skills and credentials in a sane environment you should get job.....but nothing is straight in this world even in developed nations.


6. After completing a program like PhD, how easy is it to get a job in NC?

I dont know about this anyway, you may get job and may not get job. There is nothing like how easy to get job.....All boil down to availability of jobs, do you match the criteria and have the CV....even if you have does not guarantee anything.........Recently numbers of Nigerian with PhD recently graduated are flocking to Turkey and working in high ranking Universities.





My Brief profile:

I have studied in developed countries and I completed some of my education in NC , graduated and am a professor in NC and visiting and Adjunct professors to other universities in Canada, Brazil etc.

Travel experience: visited over 75 countries and counting

Citizenship: hold passports of developing grin and developed nations cheesy



Take note: TRNC has many problems like many countries. TRNC is a small island and still under political embargo and politically recognized by Turkey globally. However, the universities have gone beyond kitchen talk. Many of the universities have issues and sometime infrastructure and facilities. Due to the size of TRNC and embargo, job oppurtunities are quite low, there are some subtle racism not like the type they kill Gorge Floyd oooooo, currency is tied to Turkish lira and may not be okay for foreigners depending on what the person do. We have many graduates from NC that find it difficult after graduation. We have many people that agents lied to and promised heaven and earth (these kind of agents caused lots of lies, exaggerated and paint some things just to deceive the applicants). We also have numbers of successful graduates and doing fine like this one I attached here. He graduated and got job at Silicon Valley just few months after....how is that possible? because he has the credential and skils needed.


So I wish you luck in whatever decisions you make be it in USA, UK, NC or Kenya, my spring onion advice are:

1. Ensure you have finances to study any place abroad
2. Ensure you know what you want after studies and build such profile and skills that can match what you want
3. Do more personal research to know what you want.

If you choose to study in TRNC goodluck, if you choose to study in USA or UK goodluck.....just build yourself to allow you to be competitive with demanding skills.
