@ suxes2005,do you know how one can secure a tourist visa to turkey.How can one get an invitation letter,and other necessary steps needed.
Pls i need responses from all NL's

@goodguy1,

suxes2005 has said it all.
There are alot of oppurtunties in most of these european countries but one major problem is the LANGUAGE BARRIER. In the remote area or city high percentage speak their language which is also peculiar to Nigeria cos in the core North pple their speak their own dailect or language for example i was lucky enuf to speak fulani and hausa well , during My NYSC in zamfara state most copers then do have communication problems with pple around and dis limit the opputurnities becos the indigen will feel comfortable to speak with the person that understand thier language and such person can easily get job or do one or other things in such area but you cant compare the level at which pple speak diffrent language and ENGLISH in ABUJA to zamfara thereby Giving pple upper hand and chances to penetrate SO the same thing applies in most european countries TURKEY inclusive.

let me give you liitle clue about TURKEY.

TURKEY is an Eurasian country bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan (the exclave of Nakhchivan) and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus are to the south; the Aegean Sea to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. The predominant religion in Turkey is Islam and its official language is Turkish,Turkey is classified as a developed country by the CIA and as a regional power by political scientists and economists worldwide. Turkey has the world's 15th largest GDP and 17th largest Nominal GDP. The country is a founding member of the OECD and the G-20 major economies. Turkish economy are dependent on industries in major cities, banking, construction, home appliances, electronics, textiles, oil refining, petrochemical products, food, mining, iron and steel, machine industry and automotive. Turkey has a large and growing automotive industry, which produced 1,147,110 motor vehicles in 2008, ranking as the 6th largest producer in Europe (behind the United Kingdom and above Italy) and the 15th largest producer in the world. Turkey is also one of the leading shipbuilding nations; in 2007 the country ranked 4th in the world (behind China, South Korea and Japan) in terms of the number of ordered ships, and also 4th in the world (behind Italy, USA and Canada) in terms of the number of ordered mega yachts.
The major cities are Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Ankara, adana, Gaziantep etc and there are smaller cities like siran, Buharkent etc Doing Business is good in Turkey if you have the means, you can buy from turkey and export to your home country for sells which is a good return. Also Turkish universities are highly rated in the world like MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY which is ranked 499 in the world webometric ranking 2010 jan, BOGAZICI UNIVERSITY, BILKENT all these universities mentioned were ranked above loughborough university UK ad many US universities, check to confirm.

@googguy

Wip2 has spoken well

As per gettin a visa to Turkey,
check dia site. get dat from google
cant really remember now,

SHALOM

@goodguy1,

The language Barrier really affects alot of things for non-speaker and this may limit the oppurtunities. All country in this world have diffrent forms of rasicism which exist in America, Turkey, Nigeria, Uk even in sudan but the degree of rasicism differs. If smbody says Turkish are rasicst then what will the person say aout RUSSIAN or UKRAINIAN or NIGERIAN( or you want to tell me pple in jos are not Nigerian and who is killing them? is it american?) , so each country has diffrent forms and degree of rasicsm, so almost everybody that lives in aoda man country is bound to meet one form of rasicm or the other and if the person is lucky enuf might not come across any during his /her stay abroad. BUT remember some pple might be rasict due to what other pple has caused, for instance some citizens might developed thick skin to other citizens due to what they have caused earlier like polluting their land with hard drugs, trafficking etc so hearing or seeing you as a man from such country agrevate some as a law of motion but am sure if you behave yourself and dont invlove or move with illegal pple you might not face any rasicm cos the only one i faced wa wen i needed to open an office in istanbul , it took me sometime and the money was high but the same outlet was given to my citizen she-friend at a lower price but it does not really bothers me so far is still my shop cos such can also happen in naija by inflating the price becos of skin but i dont think they wont want to rent a shop to anybody sha. so for you to relocate you nid to do alot of online research and even talks and see what you will be doing their after you relocate although is cheaper compare to many other european countries but relocate to do what, Naija sweet oooo anyway . If you are a creative man and innovative you will atleast make it but if you ar a dull person that belivs money is on the street of turkey or europe and ready to pick then , you dey OYO.     IF  in nigeria you can legally make atleast 50k in a month without depending on anybody just your brain legally, i think you should be ale to make sometin also here but i dont know how much oooo, then if you think you want to work here hmmmmm  Size iyi söz türkçe

@Suxes, ur guy dey kamkpe! Mehn, 9ja tough, its just d survival of da fitest. No Glass House Connections, No Jobs. Honestly, lyk a fellow folk pointed out here, nw understand there r racist in 9ja especially workin in govt sector (i.e Navy, Army, Police, Customs), infact ALL sectors.
GOD help us!

@Tamita,

which kind of a year program are you looking at? almost all master program in Turkey runs for 3 semesters or 4 semesters which is more than a year. Unless you hav aother 1 year program you intend to run. Turkish university admission is of high standard cos first with your HND you ant be accepted to go for Masters you may only be transfer to some years in undergraduate. for masters you need to earn a minimum of 610 in GRE math section to get admission even you score 608 you will not be attended to, so you see that the admission requirement is high but i know that you are guru u can even score 790, lol
Mind you durin my Msc, a nigerian girl score 770 and she was admitted for Phd instead cos you can apply to PHd straight in turkey with ur BSc. Masters in turkey is around 650dols/semester. then about job prospects just read my earlier posts on this thread that should asnwer ur questions. dont beliv that runing away from Nigeria wit ur HND to turkey or other european countries will better ur finacail level, as a HND holder why cant you look for something to do in Nigeria that will better your live, you can start somethin urself than lookiing for ffailed Government work to do. Are u not a graduate? start fish farming, soap making, food material supplies to eatry, barbing saloon or just anything and innovate it to make it good and help u, Am not boastin here but does who know me physically can tell u or confirm and i can mention names are on NL, in nigeria i do have a big farm that stocks fish, cow, goat, chicken etc and 7 offices in Nigerian states, i established these b4 leavin naija for better education abroad without no capital but high creativity and ideal, the poorest man is the one witout no ideal, just think of somethin oh but if u say naturkey by force just chek this www.greatistanbul.com goodluk

of urs as per d farm. I once had a
fish pond but had to close down
cos dia was no money to run it.

It happened when there was fuel scarcity around

I still av an eye to do a very big farm
come one day here in 9ja and av branch all

@wip2
Hmmmmm! Im short of Words. I waz actually tinking bout PGD which i tink wil last for a yr b4 M.sc
Anyway, i'm stil weighing d least available option sha. Tx 4 ur brotherly advice/info & taking out tyme to reply my post. GOD bless u!
@suxes
O'boy, e no easy to join Force (Army, Navy, Customs, Police) this days oooooo! Those r d jobs most graduates a jostling 4 nw because of d downturn in d Economy. Let me tell u sometin, Most of d job(s) in coys this days are on Contract, even in Banks. Everyone is trying to protect his/her future because some of dis coys might/can just wake up one day and tel u " Mr Man, ur contract has expired." Why do u think they do this? NO BENEFIT 4 U. Mayb u might not ve saved enof cash to set a biz up. To cut d long story short, wit govt job, ur Future is protected despite they dnt pay much.
As per ur Connection wit d Force, no yawa. I full ground "gidigba." As @ Last yr, d Form was Hacked & we could'nt get it. Most of my Friends that finished sch started all over again as Recruits wit d hope that some day, they might b lucky & hav their way to Cardet Course though stil with connectns. Mehn, I love Nigeria BUT im TIRED of this Fucking COUNTRY where nothing seems to b working.
*Seigh & said to mysef* "It is well"
GOD BLESS NAIJA!

@Tamita,

Alright brother.

No qualams.

God is our strength!

SHALOM

@ SUXES 2005,

i will surely repl y u but i need concrete info ad real info b4 sendin anythin to u, let me go there and come bak cos i i like real thin than sayin i hear i hear , u understand.

@tamita,

most skools in turkey do not offer Pgd programs so i tink alot of universities and skools offer Pgd in Uk. chek out many options for urself and see how we go move forward. the only option is to transfer to final year undergradutae to earn thier own Bsc and proceed for masters and so has to do with what u studied, most social sciences can hav one or two options compare to sciences and engineering for Pgd. so do more research

@wip2,
Yes, i knw uk has most of my options but their schs r damned expensive. I prefer a quiet, less expensive country wit part tyme job while sch'ling because i'll be sponsoring mysef. Anyway, God works in mysterious way, i might just b lucky. I'll try elsewhere mayb Northern part of Europe. Once again, Tx a million!

@tamita,
which place in Northern europe, am hearing this for the first time anyway, which countris they northern europe or u mean all these Nordic countries like norway, sweden and finland? ok you can try them. Good luk and God helps

^^^Yes, u're right, just a typo. I meant Nordice/schengen country(ies). Tx 4 d correctn.
Lol.

@ wip2, tanks 4 your infos,kudos 2u.
I have a B.TECH degree 4rm federal university of technology owerri Imo state  and i studied GEOLOGY.I want to know if there are cheap universities/colleges in Istanbul were i can apply for a Master's degree. programme.

@ wip2
which school in turkey did u graduate from,some1 said dat its better to enter turkey with a tourist visa and then go directly to the university with your credential and apply for MSC programme that the will give spot admission and then change my tourist visa to Student visa/permit.
Is this possible?

goodguy,

I fink u need come home and apply
for the student visa. Anyways, let bros

Thanks bro. I do understand. Just that time's going.
Anyways, srry if i'm disturbing u. U understand now?

@Tamita: Bro, I fink Belgium is good for you. LOL
Norway, good but it is somehow with wat i heard about dat place!

SHALOM

@goodguy1,

who ever told you that when you come to turkey they will give you on spot admission must be human traficker. first ask the person if he or she has done that b4. All public schools in turkey do have entrance examination called ALES or YOK so as a foreinger if you have not written such exams then you have to present your GMAT or GRE to gain admission. after you are admitted the skool will send you an acceptance letter ad if you pay the first semester fee which is around 650dol as the case may be , you will also be given payement confirmation and all these shall be taken to the turkish embassy to issue you student visa. to inform you , the easiest visa for entrance to turkey is student visa and tht can be obtained in your home country. you cant use tourist visa to obtain residence permit which if you dont have might not be able to open bank acoount and many things.

And be informed that, with tourist visa your visa might be for some days why student visa till your program ends or ist year as the case may be. some pple give blind advise and i dont know why, or is it that they greedy?
As requested i finished from Bogazci uni for master and METU for professional adjunct graduate course. in both BOG and METU you can find good master program or related program in Geology, like MSc in geophysics, Geological engineering and petrolgeology etc. just write GRE and score 610 above in math section your admssion sure with Good GPA from your former UNI.
