I can only advise you about Europe (more specifically, Schengen countries).

There are three kinds of entry permit (generally mixed-up and called visa). They are VISA, RESIDENCE PERMIT (temporary/non-immigrant) and RESIDENCE PERMIT (immigrant and permanent in nature). I will write about each of them below.

1. VISA . As a rule, a visa is only granted for three months only. You cant extend it (although there are exceptions), you cannot engage in an economical activities with it and you are required by law to leave the territory before it expires. A visa just allow you to be physically present in their territory and spend your money. It's also the reason why embassies requires proof of ties from your departing country, to show that you are not a prospective immigrant in disguise.

2. RESIDENCE PERMIT (temporary) This permit as usually issued to individuals with genuine reasons to reside in the territory for longer than three months (even years) with the believe that they will leave when they are done. People that are usually issued such visas are temporary workers, students, refugees, researchers, volunteers etc. The advantage with this kind of temporary permit is that is gives the possessor much time to switch into permanent residence permit (number 3 below). Many people with this kind of permit got a permanent job and switched to a permanent visa, or found love, and could live permanently and become citizens. Regardless of how years you've lived in the country with this temporary permit, you cannot become a citizen with it, as it is temporary in nature.

3. RESIDENCE PERMIT (permanent). This permit even if it has a time limit (usually 5 years), it is permanence in nature, as it expressly leads to naturalisation. This permit confers the possessor most of the benefits citizens are entitled to (like reduce tuition fees, free healthcare, social support etc), and your life will be much easier with it. This permit are usually issued to family members of citizens (spouse, parents, children, grandparents) and refugees. With this permit, you could become a citizen in five years (or three years e.g, Sweden, Netherlands etc).

Have any question? quote my name (not this post) and I will be glad to respond.

What about. Let's just say someone with some substantial amount of money wants to travel to Europe and seek for greener pastures. How do he do it.

From your post, it is assumable you operate on the idea that with your money, there should be a country that is willing to admit you so you can hustle. Sorry for being the carrier of an unfavourable news but the answer is NO, its not possible. Although there is a better option, and many people have been using this route for years.

Why not go as a student? then your money can be utilize to pay tuition fees and other travel expenses. You can also work during and after studies, with a better platform towards naturalisation (citizenship) ultimately. Even high-end professionals with PHD from western countries hardly get work visa. The EU is self-sustaining entity that has most of its labour needs from its labour force (population), they are not in need of non EU to fill up their labour needs, unless of course you want to do the jobs nobody wants (even at such, foreign students and unassimilated immigrants pounce on that).

The only EU country that cater for migrants with cash is Malta, and you need to have at last 1 million dollars to qualify, but again, this path will be closed soon as the EU have slammed Malta for such. All EU countries have pre-defined criteria to satisfy before issuing a visa/residence permit, which excludes provisions for potential hustlers with money to buy their way in.

It's possible of course, but you can't get a work permit for menial jobs as a sweeper, professional plate washer, janitor etc. it's only after you're here on a different basis you can do those jobs. Put in mind that they have unemployed people as well, so you are not a priority to them

@Pansophist...... I am a newly admitted student at the university of Tartu, Estonia...... Please, what's the possibility of getting a visa on a fresh passport from Belgium embassy for someone going to Estonia?

A new passport can always get a visa, regardless if it has been previously used for offshore trips. If your case is genuine and you meet the stipulated requirements, you should get a visa. When I first left Nigeria to study abroad, my passport was acquired few months before application, and i've actually never left Nigeria then except Ghana, and my residence permit was issued without any hassle.

Goodluck

Op what's the update? Where you finally able to get a right step? Way?

@pansophist assuming I have gotten a job offer and haven't gotten an accomondation since I dont knw anyone there what could be done?

i benefited greatly from this advice and I hope to follow this route , please what schools can someone of 24 years of age going on 25 mid next year apply to for a b.sc with a budget of 3 to 4 million and what are the requirements needed to start almost immediately? Thanks a lot

I usually give immigration advice. I don't know much about schools you may apply to.

With a 4M naira budget, it should be dead easy to live Naija as a student, I left with even less than 1M six years ago to western Europe. Check out the Baltic countries, they are easy to get admission into and not that expensive. The challenge is that you will have to go to Egypt for your visa, but if you can, you will get it and be in Europe in less than 8 months. If you want to follow this route, I may be able to advise you further.

OK first of all unless you actually wanting to study with your heart, I don't see a reason you would want to go throw away 3 - 4 millions naira in europe, maybe you been sponsored.

With that money, start up a business, register a company, have a corporate account, make sure the account is active even if its with turn overovers. Be dedicated to the business for a year,

After a year you could easily apply for a US visa or other schengen countries for tourism.

Do not throw away such amount if you don't really want to go study
