oliverjiad:
each would cost you #550k any loads inside the container

Jaid

Thanks for your response.
Will it be cheaper if I shipped through 5 star?
Also the load is inside the vehicles, not the containers - does that make a difference in the price?

Anyone able to advice hiw much it will cost to clear:
2007 vw transporter from Apapa Lagos
2007 Mercedes Vito from Apapa Lagos

The vans are LHD coming with Grimaldi containers from the UK, loaded with furniture.

Any help with this info will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you. Very good site.

I really don’t know, I have not lived in Bergen before but where I live is a smaller city and it was almost impossible to get a partime student job finn.no is my only recommendation

Again thank you for the valuable info. Do you know if it is quite easy to get part time work in Bergen? I know the language is important. Do you have any website you would recommend for jobs?

Uchboggy:
. The kind of confidence you speak with ehhhh, one would think you’re speaking from experience.

It takes over a month at least for the funds to be available. Like @olujastro said , it depends on how fast you finish your police registration and get you Social security number then open a bank account, mine got ready in October (3months)

And again, there is no restriction when the funds get to your account, you can send any amount to any account anywhere you like

Thank you. Very kind of you to take time out to respond.

olujastro:
She'll get the money transferred back to her account around September ending, depending on how fast she completes her police registration and opening of bank account.

They will take house rents for August and September.
Afterwards she can do whatever she wants with the full balance. No restrictions whatsoever on how you use your money.

[quote author=mrcodebreaker post=78263154]It takes like 2 weeks after registration for the money to be sent to you (according to what uis said, her uni might be diff) There is a limit to the transfer from the student account. I can speak for stavanger which is like 10k nok a week to be transferred to another norwegian account. I dont think you can transfer internationally from that student account (not so sure) because you cannot pay for stuff online with the card internationally or locally. But plenty restrictions with the student account just to ensure you are using that money for your upkeep in norway alone. maybe as you said having another norwegian account, transferring to it and then sending it back to naija can be a way but gradually because of the student account transfer limit. Anyone who lent her money should be patient.
Thanks for the prompt response. that's very useful to know. It's with Bergen University she gained admission.
I noticed no flights go direct from Lagos, would you have any recommendations on the best way to fly there?/quote]

Hi All,
I am helping out a family member who is going to study in Norway. She has already been granted admission for an MSc programme and now require to transfer the living costs into the student bank account.

My questions are:
1. Once transferred, is the money readily accessible when she gets to Norway?
2. Can she decide to transfer it into another account or take out as much as she wants etc?
3. or even pay it back if part of it was a loan?
Or do restrictions on accessing the money apply.

Answers from anyone that has lived in Norway and has been through this process are welcome.
Thanks in advance for the help.
