Can you expantiate more on these, l would not recommend moving to Estonia. Their new immigration/residency laws make it difficult to stay after graduation. Graduating from their universities no longer qualifies you for residency. Now you are required to find a job after graduation before you can apply for residency. And the employer must sign an undertaking/guarantee for you and send to Estonian police. Many employers are not willing to do this because of the legal implications. The years you spend studying there is no longer counted towards residency. As a bachelors or masters student, you can no longer invite your family member to live with you until you have lived for at least 2 years in Estonia. Going to Estonia is like gambling. There is a high chance your ticket will cut. The government is rolling out additional set of residency laws in January, 2023. Copied!

Hello

Thanks for your input.

I would like to point out that for every country that you travel to, it is a risk because your permanent residency is never guaranteed.

A lot of these countries are always tweeking their policies now and again, just to make it more stringent.

Students are still coming to Estonia and other European countries keep changing policies as well. Also, coming to Estonia as a student is not the only way to get there.

Regards

You would need to sit for IELTS. Is that something you can get done?

Try and aim for good scores. It would help you not only with Estonia but other countries that you can apply to for Bachelors.

There are definitely a lot of countries/universities that would offer you an admission without IELTS in Europe.

Hello

The insurance you need to get (for you to be on the very safe side) is an European Health Insurance. Please not a travel insurance. The travel insurance covers you when you go on holidays for emergencies and all.

However, because you are going as a student or another, you need A HEALTH INSURANCE. You will get the one that will cover you for at least a year.

You need to check the website of the embassy that you would be submitting your application.

The key documents are:

Your valid passport
Proof of funds (I don't know if you are going as a student or for employment)
Health Insurance
Letter of Admission
Proof of accommodation
MAKE SURE YOU VALIDATE YOUR CERTIFICATES
If you are going to be sponsored, let your sponsor give quality tax clearance (if he or she owns a business), bank statements, other documents that demonstrate good ties in Nigeria
You may need other documents (dependent on the stream you are going for)


Best wishes

Hello

It is only an employer that can assist. That employer will need to quickly apply on your behalf for your visa status to change while your visa is still active.

It is better for you to travel with the existing visa, go back to Nigeria before the visa expires then apply again. You stand a better chance of getting a longer Schengen Visa (mind you, this will allow you to apply at any other country in the Schengen Area.

I know this is not the answer you want to hear, but it gives you so much advantage that you travelled, came back and now apply for multiple visa (if possible).

You will not be able to do much with 10days visa in Estonia or any other country.

But, why apply for 10days?

Good evening, well done for the good job in enlightening others.

I want to ask you a question...

I am currently searching for a country where I can run my masters, I have BSc in Industrial Chemistry.

What is the prospect like in Estonia and what is the probability of getting a stay/PR after the program there?

Lastly, can 2.5 or 3 million naira cover the process?

Hello

Yes you can study for your masters programme in Estonia.

If you come for masters, you will get a two years residence permit, plus 270 days automatically after your studies.

You are allowed to work with your Residence Permit and when you complete your studies, you can use your employer to apply for longer term residency.

The only problem is the funds that you have indicated that you have. There is possibility of getting scholarship but this is by selected universities, the exact course and your motivation letter (in some cases).

I hope this helps?

Kind regards

Thanks for your response...

From your knowledge(experience), how much fund do you think will be just enough without seeking for scholarship?

I will appreciate your kind and honest response.

Hello

I will just give you a guide here in terms of necessary funds.

If you are on a tight budget, Estonia may not be affordable for you now because of the process of getting there. Am sure you know that you would have to go to Egypt, Turkey or Dubai (or other countries where they have a consul representative) for your DVisa.

I would advice you put some money in your account for you to show at the embassy....like N5m+ because of tuition fees and living expenses before you get a job.

Let me know if you have any other questions/clarifications.

Thank you so much...

Let's say I have that 5 million naira to do that, what is the probability of their visa processing getting approved or let me say the success rate of their visa approval with all the documents genuine and valid.

Lest I forget, I concluded my BSC about 7 years ago, I hope it doesn't matter sha?
You know it will take time to raise the necessary fund.
I also want to know if they have number of years restriction, for example the degree should not be more than so so and so years.

I asked this question, because I wouldn't want to spend on a process that is not certain or let me use the word assured to a good level.

Please pardon my questions.

Hello

Please I will like to correct an error regarding age and time that you did your Bachelors or Masters. Anyone can go back to school anytime. There are no strict restrictions when it comes to studying.

Someone came to Estonia as a student from Nigeria last year August at 50years and last Masters was 12 years ago!

Most countries will not penalise anyone for wanting to further a new career.

You should concentrate on gaining admission and writing very strong motivation letters/justifications.

Hope this helps?

Hello

Congratulations for the conditional offer from Valga County Vocational Centre.

If you cannot get to Cairo (which can often be difficult for many people), please do use UAE or Turkey. However, UAE (Abu Dhabi precisely) should be much easier.

You can take a plane to Dubai and just take a coach to Abu Dhabi.

The visa you would apply for is the D Visa. What you need to do now is to secure an appointment at the embassy.

Make sure you get all your documents complete and everything should work out perfectly....hopefully.

Best wishes.

Hello

There are lots of opportunities by doing a Phd. You are not restricted in so many ways. Yes, you can go with your family. However, I would advise that you go first because you would need to sort out accommodation and settle down a little bit.

The good news is that they do not have to wait for too long and the process to get their own Residence Permit will not take too long.

I would advise that you get a free Phd though. Your free scholarship documentation will serve as part of the proof of funds.
