Berliner1:
Have been to Lisbon(Portugal) and based in Germany.

Best way is to enter portugal first, after few days u can enter Germany via train...less security (Polizie,ZOLL)

But by EU law, with a schengen visa you can travel anywhere within the schengen zone.

But remember, you cant work anywhere with a visit visa.

If you enter germany your best option ia to claim asylum(Aduro).

Presently thats tough except ladies.

Best city for such ia berlin and baden wurttembrug...avoid munich.

With Asylum you can work,study and find your way around.

Its a 50/50 thing.

But avoid anything illegals(Drugs/Human trafficking )

Avoid benin girls.

Learn German....

Avoid austria( wealthy but small country)

Leave the rest for God.

But if you have something tangible doing in Nigeria, dont leave it for stagnant life here.

.why Avoid Austria ?

.why Avoid Austria ?

It's tough and hard to get resident permit there for asylum seekers.

Iammercy2018:
I live in Portugal.

If you get a direct Portugal Visa you can't move to any Schengen countries, but if you got a Schengen visa through the Portuguese embassy.

First you'll have to travel to Portugal first before moving to any other Schengen country.
Once you arrive Portugal, lodge in an hotel for a day or two, then you can move to Germany, much comfortable way is by using the train, this way there will be just one immigration officer or none at all stopping you. I once travelled to Spain Madrid to renew my int'l passport which as expired and also my expired Portuguese residential card, I was stopped just after I got off the train by some police officers, they checked my card and passport both expired, I told them am going to the Nigeria embassy to renew my passport (which was the truth) and then return to Portugal, they called some ppl, don't have a clue who they were, and after they allowed me to go even with no Visa or valid docs


But if you move directly to Germany without arriving the country that granted you the Visa, sorry you'll be sent back home

Moving to any other Schengen country is visa free and much easier by train.

Why I said easier is because you won't encounter much immigration officers unlike at the airport with too much questions.

Pardon my mistakes, am writing with haste, I've got somewhere to go.

I hope this helps a little.

Thank you dear for this update.
please I had intention of coming to Portugal to study on msc, please I can I have your watsapp no or email or LinkedIn name, so that I can relate my questions to you personally thanks.
