Like I said, I am not here to sound pessimistic, but don't buy the sweet tongue and fancy painting that Ireland gives with 2years stay-back and the idea that there are a number of companies bcoz of BREXIT.
Make your plans well and know that these things happen. Don't be tired to explore other areas beneficial to u, instead of just joining the bandwagon of " I want to come to Ireland". For all I know, the Irish visa process will keep being easy in Nigeria bcoz of the huge investment they make from your fees. But don't rely on it 100 percent as a way to brighter future.

Take care,



Most Developed countries sell greener pastures to foreigners - some through further studies, others through residence permit/ citizenship.

I bet you've heard of some countries where you need to invest in their real estate with £100,000 to £1,000,000 or even more for you to have dual or multiple citizenship.

My concern is people always feel its strange that these countries give priorities to citizens and EU nationals before Foreigners when even here in Nigeria , companies employ foreigners before Nigerians.

No one promised it will be easy, but you can definitely take it to the bank that 80 percent of the time you're treated more fairly than your home country.

This doesn't just apply to Ireland, same happens in US, Australia, Canada**- even in Canada, employers will take black people with PR before fresh graduate just because no company wants to go through the hustle of sponsoring someone when you can easily get someone who has a 5 year permit.
My candid advice is simple- pray as if you've not worked and work as if you've not prayed . Don't expect anything to be handed to you. Keep your head high and keep trying.

Even oyinbos are struggling too.
Yes most times things don't go according to plans and it seems as if we've hit rock bottom, but be persistent there is always a light and escape at the end of the tunnel.[/quote]

Dear Nigerians,
Be as gentle as a dove and as wise as a serpent. It is my desire to write a whole lot of you that are in this thread or may visit this thread to be watchful what you desire for yourselves. While I appreciate the encouragement given by major people in this place to encourage greener pastures, it is also good to also clear the air for people to see the negative sides in moving to Ireland and make comparison before taking the bold step of investing your millions.
Ireland gives you 2 years after studies to look for a job. This job must pay a certain minimum for you to keep being in their country. The company would also file for your permit as well using this job and pays some extra taxes hiring you. Sounds pretty good!!!
Let's see the reality,
When u apply to these jobs, so many EUs apply together with their citizens as well. The law allows EUs to work without restriction. Hence, most companies prefer to hire their citizens and EUs leaving most Africans with "sorry emails". Most Nigerians I have sampled here get these rejection mails on jobs the even have very good competence at. More also comes when you find out that a typical Irish was raised to see Africans as poor and having a disadvantaged life bcoz of skin colour. Furthermore, ask yourself, Ireland is not interested in giving scholarship to the large number of students they pull. They are aware of the current situation in the country and would be glad to explore it without offering you a discount since they know you are desperate. Most students in Ireland pay their fees to the last Kobo only to turn around to face these in the job market. The country is indirectly using the student monies to build their GDP with no regards to their fate afterwards. Even Asians suffer less of these in employment than Africans. Most Nigerians come here and spend all their money and finally realize in long run they have been shortchanged. However, I don't blame them, I only blame the bad leaders in Nigeria that have made the country a laughing stock.
My 1 dollar advise is: it is good to seek greener pastures but be aware that these things happen in Ireland. The probability of you having that job is really slim and so most Nigerian graduates keep doing menial/casual jobs even after graduation. Explore better areas with less racist approach and better labour laws. Also have a plan for yourselves so that if they don't give u the job that makes u stay back, you can forge on to better areas instead of crying over spilt milk. And becoming a begger or a peasantry in Europe.

Hi jonghyunwife,
please i meed youe help. im trying to apply to DublinInstitute of Technology for january. but its not on the application page and the agent are telling me to pay 100k. i find it fishy.

please how did you apply and how can i go about the visa processing
Dear Brother/sister
Stop jumping around looking for January apply button in DIT site, they just closed there Sept application in middle or late June so they cannot bring out January apply button so soon. All u need now is get Ur English test result ready and write a good sop for Ur admission, wait till around ember month and check back the DIT site. U will certainly see what ur looking for. Apply then. DIT admission takes 2weeks to come out. However if u still need to give someone the 100k, u can dash me one-tenth....Lol.. As I know, no agent will give u this info on platter of help

Hi. You guys are doing a terrific job on here. I'm Ibrahim and new on this forum. I'll be applying to U of Limerick for my LLM this year and need to get some facts right. Can I actually pay 6000 euros first as my programme is 12k and actually get the visa? an agent seems to think I must pay all else I'd be denied or my visa grant dragged till I pay. Has anyone actually gotten a visa with 6k payment as on the Irish immigration website ? Thanks
