there for bsuiness?

modskiller:


The France, Switzerland and Italy, were they on one visit swoop like you getting a SCHENGEN for one of them and visiting the others??

One thing I learned from your Morocco post is that Morocco is easy to get rather than pay any useless agent.

Then as for going to Morocco I can get a Transit visa of Turkey �� (Kindly advise if possible) when I go via Turkish Airlines.

Also if one can get a Transit Visa for Holland or France or UK, can one choose any of KLM, Airfrance or Virgin Atlantic (please advise)

Also check your email. I sent you a DM

Something like that, I hold a multiple-entry Schengen visa. Most of the Schengen States weren't done at a go. For example, Croatia was in January, and Switerzland was in March. As someone who travels on a Nigerian passport, I try to ensure that I always have an active UK, US or Canada visa. It helps with issues of transit.

When travelling, I also try to opt for the most direct flight. It saves one headache, so for Morroco, I would recommend Royal Air Morroco as it takes you directly to the kingdom without any layovers.

If you have a US, Canada, UK or Schengen visa, I think you can do an e-visa for turkey as a Nigerian passport holder.

I hope this helps.

Nchabuomo:


Mostly for pleasure. I like to travel as much as finances and time permit me.

WhyNa:
Now Turkey was going to be a little bit more expensive but I couldn't go to SA.

I had set a timeline for myself to leave Nigeria in February 2020. I didn't want to be 30 here so I pushed.

I joined the Turkey visa group on nairaland and started familiarising myself with the visa process. By then, I had decided to apply for a study leave at work so that if in 3 months, I didn't get something, I would quietly return back to work.

Note that all this search and decision making took months. Trust me when I said I lost sleep. I did thorough research. The good thing was, I was saving up during this period.

Now in all my search, I always looked at the prospect of staying back after CELTA, the immigration laws and the job market.. It was going to be my first time outside Nigeria and I sure as hell didn't want no hiding or illegal stuff.

I found out that the job market in Turkey wasn't so much. I was discouraged but willing to give it a try.

Again, I had just one issue..... staying back after CELTA and how fast I can get a job

Vision202:
How are you whyna? I trust you are doing great. Please give us update concerning situation of things in Vietnam. Thanks

And any other persons staying/schooling in Vietnam should please give update just to keep the thread moving.

Thanks a lot.

WhyNa:


Hi Vision202,

Yes I'm doing great.

Apologies to everyone for not writing sooner.

Everything is back to normal.

It's summer now and yesterday was the hotest so far! Like blazing hot, skin frying, hot air ( of the little blowing) kinda hot. I was sweating like a christmas goat in class after I decided to do fit fam and trek It was early morning oo. 7:30am.

By afternoon when my friend came to pick me with car, the journey from an AC lit classrom, down the stairs, to the car, plus the wait for the car AC to pick up saw me sweating profusely again. My friend that sat in the car and drove reached home and applied lotion on her face that sun burned her

Anyways, that's how hot it was/is in summer here. Last year was milder I think.....or because i was always indoors due to covid I didn't notice? Anyways.....

On teaching, things are back to normal now like I mentioned before. Schools are on summer break but thank God for Centers aka Lesson

I'm back to teaching everyday. Phew.....it's a huge relief from not being able to teach for one year!

Now i get to hear funny names like Cat, Chipmunk, Dream, Spiderman and the likes and listen to some of their funny accent and way of asking What's your name I (Washyourlame in a sing song)

Still maintained some of my online classes too which is good.

That's bascically it....People go around without masks now....some. The fear has reduced or is forgotten sef.

For those coming in, no more quarantine but you still get to do the covid test because of course we're from Africa.

Finally met Whyna today in Hanoi, Vietnam, after a 3 days flight from Lagos Nigeria. In few words: “she is a wonderful person “. Will share more details about our journey later, but in the meantime, have some videos for your view.

I can’t post videos, so I will be posting some screenshots from the videos instead

WhyNa:


@jendy36 It was nice meeting you guys too albeit being too tired.

Welcome to Vietnam!

I like that you guys are pro-active and you've got heads on your shoulders. You guys will go far.

Please try and update the house as you go along.

Hopefully, when you're more settled and stable, we'll all hang out with the others. Cheers

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.

u3fine:
Congratulations. What's the total cost for flight booking from Lagos to Hanoi?

jendy36:


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