Sorry bro I don't mean to discourage you but the truth is always bitter, you are just inspiring to come to a place where I have spent 3 years obtaining a master degree before leaving for Finland. Am quite sure all your contactsettings in the country will know me very well, I would have loved to disclose my identity but for some reasons I won't, I can tell you have assisted more than 20 Nigerians to Tallinn and one currently in Tartu...if you feel am not informed about the place no worry when u come ur eyes go see am....my candid advice is that u should bring enough money to sustain you...the 220€ eesti pays to student might not be sufficient, and at times they may demand for tax clearance before they start paying you and that could delay you from receiving it....want to remind you that you have once written me via my email in 2015 try to recollect...well it is a good option to come and study in Estonia cos uni of Tartu ranks among the best in Europe but if you thinking of making little money while there it will be extremely difficult.....this is just a word of advice bro...you can send me a private mail if you need more clarification

hakeembee:
Lol, that means i am more informed about the place than you. a place you have never been, you said its a jungle. i have a lot of poeple there, thanks for the advise anyway.

Wetin you won go do for Tartu? Bro that area ba jungle oooo, even people residing in the capital city blood full their eyes...talk less of remote villa....carry enough money cos no job at all there...

hakeembee:
Me i just got admission to University of Tartu Masters programme this year ni o.

Your rp decision has nothing to do with study deferment. The university decides on certain grounds especially on health related issues. While migri decides based on the rp application requirements.

Hello I am also a Nigerian, I live in Helsinki, am a student, if you re still interested in sharing apartment I can offer you one, you can reach me on +358465659650 or email me adescofm@gmail.com. Thanks

Bosses I have been hibernating for months but. I dey follow this thread yansh to yansh. I am going to Aalto, one of the two Nigerians admitted this year. Crazy school, stringent conditions.

Anyway make I leave story, abeg who dey Helsinki wey I fit share room with abeg. Money wahala for now . All man gas manage the small rabah wey dey.

Abeg send me reply. I don't know how to PM. Thanks to all the bosses. This is about the most useful thread on Nairaland. With this thread, you can get it wrong.

oh okay, I think in that case the extension depends on the city and local police stations, my brother in vaasa applied for extension and got it within a week, so it is possible for you too to get it within a week

sirkezman:
im in finland aiidy.. i am asking about application for extension permit. most people do paper here but im going with the online route..

thanks anyway

I submitted on 29th of April, and I got the decision on the 9th of June, which is about 6 weeks, though it was suppose to be 3 weeks cos the consular told me on the day I came for my fingerprint that I will get the decision within 3 weeks, after the 3rd week I called the Finish immigration and I was told my application is on queue due to shortage of staffs. I applied through the paper based at the embassy, but I will advice if you applying from Nigeria to apply through the Online means cos it is more faster for applicants very far away from Finland. I am presently in Estonia, which is like an hour and half from Finland by ship, so applying through paper based from here is very efficient

sirkezman:
oh cool. how long did the application take? most ppl around say it can take up to 4 months?? and did you apply online or paper?

Yea the embassy returns your passport immediately on same day you are taking your finger prints, I would not say the embassy interviewed me because I wasnt asked any question, I only showed them my documents and credentials, so that isnt an interview.

presiade:
Hi, Congrats o. Does the embassy return applicant's Int'l passport immediately after the interview? Thanks.

Nope coming home for summer

Cmanforall:
Congrats bro.

R you thru with studies?

Finally I got a message about my decision from the Finish Immigration, cant wait to pick up my resident card, then travel home to see my family....I don miss naija sunshine

He can apply to University of Helsinki, and Tampere University of Technology, am very sure the two schools admit 3rd class graduate, in as much as he studied Animal Zoology and Plant Climatology

viktor556:
Hi everyone. I have a brother who intends going for his masters degree in Finland but he had a 3rd Class from a Nigerian University. My question is, is there any hope for him.
Thanks.

@saintpope, can we do this on arrival to finland or before?

But what we are to do at AIICO is health insurance not travel insurance

Aiico will only give u travel insurance and not health insurance, it is better u do it before coming to save cost, and if u feel u have lots of money then u can buy aiico and later buy health insurance when u get to Finland

hello house in regard to the health insurance I will advice everyone not to get any insurance from Nigeria, because what is obtainable from Nigeria is just travell insurance and it differs from health insurance. The best option is to buy Swiss care insurance online and it is the cheapest you can get, and also valid all through the EU zone. This is what we have been using since we came to Europe and it is the best, it is different from.the travel insurance which aiico or mutual benefits will give you. Kindly go to www.Swisscare.com and you will be able to get one for €197 far more cheaper than SIP recommended by the universities. In case you need more clarifications pls write me here so I can address it. Thanks

Hakeembee can you inbox me your mobile number to this email jamwills88@gmail.com

hakeembee:
