A man who came 3rd in an election is inciting followers to stand behind his “mandate”. What should the man who came 2nd then do? It never takes long for a fake leader to unravel.

Hello
Has anyone travelled to Vietnam recently?
Did the immigration disturb for PTA?
Did they ask for bribe?
Are food items like coke and snacks allowed on the plane.

No one will ask you of PTA not even in Hanoi.
For food stuff, yes it's allowed but coke? No.
No liquid is allowed on board. Not even water. You'll be told to drink it trash it before boarding

Eligibility Criteria
A. have an undergraduate degree of the same academic standard as a UK bachelor’s degree, as verified by UK ENIC

[b]The statement ‘as verified by UK ENIC’ [/b]suggests you might be asked for verification - if so ENIC compares qualifications and issues a statement of qualification for £49

*Eligibility criteria application for QTS*

I will be making comments on each criteria below
B. have completed teacher training that meets the standard of a level 6 qualification and is of at least the same length as an English initial teacher training course – for example, a Bachelor of Education or a Postgraduate Certificate in Education

Level 6 is first degree level. This disqualifies non- degree level teachers. If you have a B Ed or PGDE, you can pass this stage

C. have completed a course with content that is practically and pedagogically focused
be qualified to teach children aged between 5 and 16 years

QTS is not a qualification for teaching nursery aged children. So keep in mind if you are a nursery teacher. There are other qualifications for teaching nursery age children in the UK

However if you have the degrees accepted for teaching you can apply - but your QTS is for primary to secondary school

D. have at least one school year (a minimum of 9 months including school holidays but excluding time out taken for any other reason) of professional experience working as a teacher after qualifying

This means you will present evidence of teaching experience. For QTS by assessment it is a letter from your principal or headteacher. I do not now know what evidence is required here, but I guess is that it will be the same or at least a letter from a school you have taught in and teach in

E. have the professional status needed to be a teacher in the country where you qualified, and not be subject to any conditions or restrictions on your practice

This means a TRCN certification. We cannot now say whether it is the certificate or license only, or if TRCN will be requested to confirm this status

F. You must also meet a certain standard of English language proficiency.

Options are:

1. You have been born in UK or schooled in UK at undergrad level or higher or

2. You have been taught in English at undergrad level with proof from you that English was the medium of instruction. This proof is relative, for university level different proof are accepted or not accepted

3. A recognised English language test of proficiency like IELTS

G. Mathematics and science qualifications. *In future,* we intend to ask overseas teachers applying for QTS for evidence that they hold a:

1. mathematics qualification which meets the same standard as GCSE grade 4

2. science qualification which meets the same standard as GCSE grade 4 (for teaching primary school)

However, we know from research that applicants find it difficult to provide this evidence.

For this reason, we’ll introduce these criteria later, at the end of 2023. This will allow us to learn how best to support applicants to meet them.

This advice from the UK government website speaks for itself. *Future* means after 2023

How much did you pay for one way?

Rest in Peace

Died at the age of 93.
Was the first Aviation Minister in 1960
Was a minister at the age of 31.

But today, age 31 is an errand boy or agbero to a Politician of 70-80 years that is still fighting for a position the 31 years old should occupy.

TEFL will be authenticated at MoFA first before taking it to the embassy. PCC is also Notarized at MoFA before the embassy.

JohnQueen:
Thank you. Just one more... Since the TEFL wasn't issued by a Nigerian institution where did you notarise it? Also the Police Clearance is only done at MOFA, right?

Yes. Items to be notarized before traveling to Vietnam to teaching include:
Degree Certificate
TEFL certificate
English C1
Police Clearance Certificate, and
Medical

JohnQueen:
@Whyna trust you are well. Abeg lemme take you back to page 1. Did you notarise your police report and TEFL certificate before going to the embassy?

iampomping:
Do we need to do Medical in Nigeria before coming or it would be in Vietnam?

Yes, all must be done here before traveling

Epiphany92:
I have met few west Africans,Cameroonians in Nigeria
But am curious,do we have east and South Africans in Nigeria
Have you met any ?

I have a Kenyan colleague in my company in Port Harcourt

WhyNa:
On work visas, things are a bit slow now. No one understands the way the Vietnamese government works.

But I can tell you one thing, the demand is still huge! Infact, it's a teacher's market now and I can confidently tell you the going rate now even for new comers is about 17.5 USD to 25.5 USD.

I kid you not. Just make sure you're surrounded by good people who will guide you and give you pointers.

The same way the rate is increasing, is the same way the criterias are increasing.

It's good that many of you have now gotten your TEFL certificates, kuddos. you're one step closer.

Now, you need your

Degree
TEFL
C1
Police Report
Medical Report

For renewal purposes, you may need to write IELTS or other cheaper alternatives. IELTS in itself is cheap here cos ofcourse, yoou'll be earning in their currency. This criteria also depends on who (company) helping you renew your visa. Chances are, by the time your current visa expires, your current employee would help with renewing either bearing 100% cost of splitting with you at an agreed ratio.

Please be careful out there. Tourist visa and "visa on arrival" is not available to people with African passport. Don't confuse this with Visa vignette on arrival.

For now, you can get a company to sponsor you on a one year visa though difficult right now. I heard someone mention he was able to get a 3 months deal to be converted to one year on arrival. I hope it's a real deal.

If you get this deal though, try and push for one year instead to avoid paying double! Just pay for the one year straight

I mentioned this at the beginning of this thread but it's probably lost in the midst of lots of communications so I'll say it again.....

You can get a school to sponsor you......

Do we need to do Medical in Nigeria before coming or at Vietnam? Also the C1, are we to write it here as well?

Op update us on your trip. I noticed you have left the shores of the country

Sweden Job Seeker Visa: A Complete Guide

April 2022 came with its own share of glad tidings for Migrants seeking employment in the Constitutional Monarchy as Sweden made an announcement for the introduction of a new visa, specifically for job seekers. More often than not, job seekers are faced with the challenge of securing a job before moving abroad. This doesn’t always work as expected and has caused a major setback for such migrants. The Sweden Job Seeker visa which was meant to take effect from the 1st of June 2022 gives prospective migrants the rare opportunity of moving to Sweden even without a job offer.

What is a Job Seeker Visa?
It is exactly as it sounds. A Job seeker visa is a type of visa that permits foreigners to immigrate on the basis of job hunting. As such, you are allowed to stay in the country for a specified period of time as a job hunter even when you haven’t secured a job offer yet.

As a result of the shortage of labor, Sweden joins the list of European countries which allow foreigners the pleasure of migrating in search of available jobs with the use of a Job Seeker visa.

How Long Does a Sweden Job Seeker Visa Last for?
The expected minimum validity for this category of visa is 3 months. However, the permit can be extended to a maximum of 9 months.

What are the Conditions for applying for a Sweden Job Seeker Visa?
Before making the move to apply for a Job Seeker visa in Sweden, ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria. These include:

Completion of studies at an advanced level.
Financial stability to be able to support yourself throughout your stay while on a Job Seeker visa.
A well-laid out plan to seek employment in Sweden or be self-employed.
A comprehensive health insurance to receive medical care in Sweden.
A valid passport. Note that your permission to stay on a Job Seeker would not be extended beyond your passport validity.
A Sweden work visa to avoid delays in compliance upon securing a job. This is particularly important for those who aren’t citizens of a neighboring Nordic country to Sweden.
A letter of permission issued to the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) to grant the right to contact your educational institution for the verification of all educational documents submitted.
Proof of funds expected to cover your cost of living in Sweden throughout the period as well as enough money for the journey back home.
What are the Required Documents for a Job Seeker Visa Application in Sweden?
The documents needed for the application include:

Exam certificates (where applicable).
University transcript.
Bank statement with proof of funds.
Comprehensive Health Insurance document.
Letter of consent that gives UHR the right to contact your institution in order to verify your academic documents.
Please note that all documents that are not in English or Swedish have to be duly translated to any of these 2 languages. This is to be done by an authorized translator.

How Much is Needed as Proof of Funds for the Sweden Job Seeker Visa?
A minimum amount of SEK 13,000. This is equivalent to $1200 and it’s for a period of 1 month. For a 3-month visa, a minimum amount of SEK 39,000 is needed, equivalent to $3,600. For a 9-month validity visa, an approximate amount of SEK 117,000 (approximately $10,800) is needed.

Can I Work with a Job Seeker Visa in Sweden?
The Sweden Job Seeker visa is strictly meant for and restricted to the sole reason of job seeking. As such, it isn’t sufficient to work in Sweden with it. Upon getting a job, it is mandatory to apply for a Sweden work visa. Unlike the former, this visa allows you to work and also allows your family members and dependants to join you in the country.

The Sweden Work Visa
Employees in Sweden can only be allowed to live and work in the country if they are in possession of a Sweden work visa. The exact type of work visa however, depends on the employee’s nationality or occupation.

Types of Sweden Work Visa
EU Blue Card: An EU Blue Card is meant for highly skilled workers who have jobs in specific professions, possess a university degree and/or a five-year professional work experience. The EU Blue card is a dual purpose work and residence permit.

Eligibility Criteria for Obtaining a Sweden Work Visa
The conditions for obtaining a work visa in Sweden are distinct for both employees and employers and must be fulfilled by both parties. For employees, the eligibility criteria include:

A valid passport.
A job offer that is in line with the Swedish collective agreements or the occupation’s standard.
A minimum monthly salary of SEK 13,000 before taxes or a salary on par with the position.
Employment offer which covers health insurance, life insurance, occupational injury insurance, pension insurance and social security of the employee.
Proof of accommodation
Intention to leave the country once the employment contract ends.
Employers, on the other hand, also need to meet certain requirements before hiring a foreigner in Sweden. First and foremost, the vacant job position for which an employee is being sourced for must be advertised on Sweden’s Work Association website (Arbetsförmedlingens website) for a minimum of 10 calendar days. Other requirements include:

Obtaining approval from the concerned trade union for the salary and job description.
Making a job offer for the employee stipulating the length of employment.
Creating an online visa application for the employee with the Swedish Migration Agency stating the employee’s date of birth, citizenship information, education, and email.
After these have been done, the prospective employee is expected to receive an email to signify the start of the process from his/her end.
Submission of all relevant documents by the employee such as a passport, an employment offer, and a statement from the trade union.
Depending on the nationality of the employee, two final processes need to be completed after which the application must have been processed. The migrant could be a visa free national or a non-visa free national. As such, there would be differences in the registration of biometrics, date of assumption of office and issuance of residence permit cards.

Visa Free Nationals
For a visa free national, you are allowed entry into Sweden and assumption of duty right from the first validity date of your work visa. The registration of biometrics such as capturing of photos and fingerprints can be done in Sweden itself. The Swedish Migration Agency office is responsible for this as well as issuing your residence permit card.

However, if within the past 180 days, you have spent more than 90 days in the Schengen region as a visa free national, then you will be regarded as a non-visa free national and required to follow the steps for the non-visa free nationals.

See the types of Schengen Visas here.

Non-Visa Free Nationals
The opposite is the case for non-visa free nationals. Rather than registering and obtaining the residence permit card in Sweden, a non-visa free national will be required to visit the Swedish embassy in his/her country of residence or the nearest one to get fingerprints and photos captured and duly submitted. Only then will a residence permit card be issued. The residence permit card for non-visa free nationals is a category of visa which allows its holders gain entry into Sweden and any other Schengen countries. It will always be needed every time the holder leaves and enters Sweden or any of the countries within the Schengen region during the period for which the permit is valid.

How Much Does it Cost to Obtain a Sweden Work Visa?
A typical work visa in Sweden costs approximately SEK 2,000 This is equivalent to about $200.

How Long Does it Take for a Work Visa to be issued?
The waiting period for the issuance of a work visa in Sweden is dependent on three main factors: the applicant’s place of work, the mode of submission and the mode of employment. Nevertheless, work visas get delivered within one to three months of waiting.

What is the Validity Period for a Sweden Work Visa?
A Swedish work visa remains valid for a maximum period of 2 years after which it can be extended for an additional 2 years.

What is Comprehensive Health Insurance?
A comprehensive health insurance is a scheme that covers all medical care including emergency care, dental care, hospitalization, as well as repatriation for medical reasons. While applying for a Job Seeker visa in Sweden, it is important to have proof that the Comprehensive Health Insurance in your possession will remain valid for the entire visa validity period.

I have some questions because I plan coming in October

echesilver:
I was able to get my yellow fever card @ Abeokuta Porthealt centre.

I spent 4k in total. I paid 2k in the portal via remita. The 2 women in the office later collected 2k from. They said it's for vaccine.

I know they're jobbing me but I just gave them. The process was very smooth. They don't even have customers there self unlike Lagos branch where you have queues.

Please can i open a Lemonade account with a Nigerian Phone number while still in Nigeria?

onecoder:
Your lemonade should have naira and pounds account.
You fund the naira and convert to pounds within the app.
Then you can transfer to your UK bank account

@ Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Also, did you get the job from here or did you process the work permit first?

echesilver:
Thanks for the information.

The documents you will require depends on what you are going there to do. I am going there to teach English so:
Degree certificate
Tesol certificate
Recommendation letter from place of work
Police report.
These are the things i stamped at abj.

Hello, I also plan to travel to Vietnam in October or November. Can I PM you?
As for the details you asked for, if you prefer a particular seat you check in online a few days before the departure date or else they will allocate you a seat at the counter during checking-in after those who checked in online must have collected seats.

echesilver:
Good day everyone. I will be travelling for the first time from Nigeria to Vietnam. The journey would be from Nigerian to Dubai and from Dubai to Hanoi, Vietnam.

My documents are ready and my flights booked for early August.

Please! This is my first time and certain things are not clear to me yet.

I have received my ticket (EMIRATES) though no seat number yet.

These are my few questions;

1.When should I get my seat number? Is it at the airport on that day?

2. What exactly to do when I get the airport?

3. I heard about online check-in. Please how does it work and how will it help me when I get to the airport?

4. Currently in Ogun state and hoping to get my yellow card this week at ABK. Does anyone know about the fee and the process there?

Please, I know some people will find the questions childish but I just want to know so as to prepare.

Thanks.

Rivers State inter-state route is okay to a greater extent but the flash point when coming from Lagos are: Shagamu-Ore-Benin highway in Ogun, Ondo and Edo states; Warri-Sapele-Benin Highway in Delta and Edo States; Benin-Agbo-Asaba Highway in Edo and Delta States as well as Corrupt Police on the Highway.

Mind you, as you are traveling keep updating your location via google map to your loved once in case
And above all PRAY until you arrive safely

Hello, No IELTS. Just C1 and TESOL. If you have IELTS, it’s an added advantage for you.

For the return tickets, we are actually following up with Turkish airlines, but they take so long to respond to emails. They suck at customer service

Thank you for your response, with your return ticket, were you able to get BTA from the bank?

jendy36:

jendy36:
The return ticket, including the Ok to board fee, was around 750k

Since it's a work visa, did you get a refund for the return tickets?
Also, did you write the IELTS exam before leaving for Vietnam?

BrandExpert:
I'm happy I made a decision to go to Vietnam, despite a lot of discouragement and skepticism. in less than a week of getting here, I have secured a job that would be make me more than 2000 dollars a month (that's over a million naira in naija o).

Apart from teaching job, there are many business opportunities (I and jendy360 are working on one already)

Congratulations, did you write IELTS before leaving for Vietnam?

Thanks to whyNa for opening my eyes to this opportunity.

Congratulations, did you write IELTS exam before leaving for Vietnam?

Congratulations. What's the total cost for flight booking from Lagos to Hanoi?

jendy36:
Thanks sis. So we left on Friday evening, 8:45pm flight. It was a total of 6 hours to Istanbul, turkey. But then, instanbul is 2 hours ahead of Nigeria. So that was almost 5 am Turkish time by the time we landed

We supposed to have around 19 hours stop over in instanbul, because the next flight was 2:00 am on Sunday, but the flight was delayed for 4:hrs 25 mins. We had to leave by 6:25 am. Next was a 9hrs plus flight from instanbul to Hanoi. So Hanoi is 4 hours ahead of turkey. We got to Hanoi around 8:00pm Vietnamese time. With all the protocols at the airport with the immigration, getting a cab, finding a place to stay, it was almost 11pm. So before we could settle down , it was already early hours of Monday. Unfortunately, we didn’t sleep because we were still jet lagging. We slept around the normal time we used to sleep in Nigerian time zone.

So you can see it’s 3 days journey. We spent almost the whole day at the airport on Friday.

The first picture I attached is around after 9 pm In Turkey , and it was still this bright. So I observed sun sets very late and rises very early in Turkey. By 4:30 am in Turkey, it was all bright again. The other pictures are in Turkish airport and inside plane

Abeg, pardon any typo you came across, it is 9:30 am here, and I’m just waking up. Slept around 5am.
