Hi... I did a few research in this a while ago. While some schools are pretty expensive, there are mekunu others. However before you proceed, I'll advice that you contract the schools themselves. Kindly find the attached.

I don't know much about health care, but from shine sources, na just like naija... Get yourself a doctor and use her often. Wherever you decide to love, you can always have your go to doc!

Thanks for the effort. But the file can't open after I downloaded, so I couldn't see the content. Anyway around this?

Hi,

There's no format per say. Just follow these guidelines...

1) Put your picture at the top right corner next to your personal details.

2) Work experience comes next. Experiences related to teaching should be listed out first. Then others can follow if any.

3) Then education. Here you include both degrees, TEFL, and Msc if any

These are the 3 most important things. One page is enough. These three are all they need.

Others are just jara

please can I use IELTS in place of Tefl or do I need both

A South African friend of mine trying to get into VN just recently told me he'll fly over to Thailand and get in by land, is that possible tho?

good news to be rolled out in early November the Vietnamese government has agreed to issue a new regulations for people coming to Vietnam and quarantine rules though not for everyone but international students are in group two of the quarantine protocol

WhyNa:
As much as possible, I'll try to document my step by step journey to Hanoi, Vietnam.

This is my first time outside Nigeria and the excitement no be here. Lol

In 2014, I took my first and only IELTS, made a 7.5, even created a thread and was optimistic about getting a scholarship. Between 2014 and 2018, I applied for dozens of scholarship but was always given admission without scholarship or put on reserve list.

2019, I had had enough and decided to look into other ways of leaving Nigeria

.....

hello @ whyna, apart from English tutoring ,can you list some other valuable skills in Vietnam. what do u think of bike repairs? is the market saturated already? pls suggest extra other good paying skills in Vietnam.thanks

Yes it's possible as Thailand is one of the countries allowed to enter under strict protocols.

However, he should remember that this isn't Africa and they will sniff him out just by looking at his travel history/visa stamp. showing date of entry. Also, he still has to pay for quarantine. he can try though

No. TEFL is a must and different from IELTS. IELTS is optional but there are plans to make it compulsory for non-natives. Don't know how strict this would be

Yes there is a huge job market for repair of motorbikes seeing as the number of bikes here is probably more tham half the population.

However, there are also mechanics from companies like Yamaha and the rest here.

If you want to venture into this, then you would need to first focus on getting the attention of foreigners. Your advantage would be your ability to speak English which the Vietnamese mechanic can not (majority). You'd also need to do some advertising to let the expat community know you. In time, if you're good, you may attract locals and recommendation is a big deal here.

You offer bad service, your shop + address + pictures are up on google review and that's bye bye to your business

Haaa�...they shouldn't make IELTS compulsory o biko

Babycherry:
Wow.... Just wow
Saw this thread yesterday by 12 and didn't sleep till 5, just finished reading every word now

@whyna. Thank you for all you've done so far. Though I'm a big canada fan, age is not on my side and i just started uni, but if I come across a full scholarship to study in Vietnam, I'd take it.

You inspire me, to keep pushing. Thank you...

I sent you a pm.

MY JOURNEY SO FAR

Hello, how has the research and every every been? I have a little update for us specifically on my own moves.

I wish to In a special way appreciate @WhyNa for creating this thread and sharing her journey oth us.

Just as she said earlier, there are many ways to enter Vietnam and we know many people will discover many routes. The fact that you are reading this could be a sign that you want to travel therefore I encourage everybody to share their experiences or successes so far.

I want to share on the study route, for those who want to enter Vietnam through study route. I have made some little progress on this regard.

My own research started with finding good but cheap countries I could study In and work and stay back after my study to work. The first place I found was North Cyprus, it was actually cheap but my findings showed that WORK NO DEY THERE OH, NA SUFFER THINGS. I was wise enough to move on. I came across India again and ran away fast because I have researched them some few year back, it's very cheap but no work even for their people talk less of Nigerians and they don't like us.

Finally, I came to Vietnam. My findings was cool, I some some schools and applied while waiting for them, my research brought me to this thread. I focused my energy on trying to enter Vietnam through the work permit route of which @WhyNa's posts and updates have been of great blessing. In May, one of the schools got back to me and that was FPT university in Hanoi its a university that deals more on IT and business courses. I asked them about the visa and everything. They will prepare the visa for you while you get the Visa Stamp at the Vietnamese embassy Abuja.

I asked how much is The visa stamp they said they don't really know that I should contact the embassy. When I contacted the embassy, they said it varies depending on the type of student visa but that it's between 200 to 300 dollar.

Now, this process is very easy and you don't need to ask much questions and you don't need an agent.

1. Research top universities in Vietnam.
2. Get their admission office WhatsApp number. This guys are very helpful through their whatsapp, ask any questions. I always tell the person handling the FPT university admission WhatsApp number that am sorry for my to many questions and he/she will always tell me dont worry just ask.
3. Ask about their support systems. FPT university for example, helps with airport pick up, helps to get accomodation, help you get a part time job at most in 3 months after you arrive Vietnam.
4. Apply and ask if their are scholarship oppourtinties available. Due to this corona virus pandemic effect on the economy, Vietnam education industry dey find student and they are likely to give out discounts just as is happening in North cyprus now. So, if you don't ask they might not tell you.
5. Arrange soft copies of your documents and send to their mail then await their admission/Scholarship report. Note: No school will give you full scholarship, you can only get discounts and trust me their tuition fees are relatively cheap.
6. Make payment and they will start working on your visa which should take not more than a month.

Concerning coming to Vietnam, my school said they are working with their immigration department to make sure they allow international students and professors to enter the country when they open the borders hopefully by July ending so please confirm from your school before making payment. Me I never pay tuition few, I still dey hustle he money but once am ready to pay, I will reconfirm from the school because I need to be sure if I pay Now, I should come over before September.

Also, I don't know of other university but for my school, you get 1 year temporal residence to enable you get a job after your graduation. This to me is cool.

Finally, this process is very easy, you don't need to ask many questions or send me a mail or look for agent as long as study route is concerned, just get the school and the course of your choice, send them mail or chat their WhatsApp number and they will take it up from their.
Their Bsc it 3 years or 4 years those that are 3 years do 3 semesters per year while those that are 4 years do 2 semesters per year.
Masters is 2 years.
Most of the schools are also affiliated to universities in UK, US, Australia

I wish all luck, if any other person is making progress through another route please share too for those who might be interested.

Udo diri anyi.

Nice and detailed information

Hi Whyna,
Hope you are doing great.

One quick question, can I still relocate to Việt Nam even without an ESL job offer yet and I’d get one when I arrive (with vigorous application, of course)?

Also, please come and give us hope, we await this week’s edition
