Uglyboy2015:
Chief, congrats. Pls I wish to so if I would need to send any other docs apart from transcript sent by my Uni. Heard I need to send copy of my certificate ( can I notarize it or it must be done at ministry of education. Thanks

Mine is Tallinn Uni. I was told to just get transcript directly from my Uni. That’s why I asked cos I felt I would need to send a Copy of my certificate. I sent them an email and I was told I don’t need to.

Well-done man! For Tallinn University, they most ask for just your official transcript but check your mail and see if they requested for any other document.

If they ask for just Transcript, then send only Transcript. Official sealed Transcript from your school.

friday the 7th .
Yes. my 2nd choice is Material Science & Technology.

Relax bro. They will surely get back to you and it will be good news.
All the best.

simplydmd:

When did they send you the offer??
Wait they didn’t give you Robotics engineering??

Update on Dubai route:
"Rules for travel from South Africa and Nigeria

You will not be able to enter Dubai if you have been in or transited through South Africa or Nigeria in the last 14 days before travelling to Dubai. This is not applicable for UAE nationals who are returning to the UAE and members of diplomatic missions. Members of diplomatic missions travelling from Nigeria must present a negative COVID‑19 PCR test certificate from one of the authorised laboratories in Nigeria."

Let hope is change for good.

liliyke:
I'm considering the UAE route and having Turkey as a second option. But what we should all consider are the options that won't be on lockdown or would allowed visitors in around July/August. At the moment, Turkey is currently on lockdown. So it is best to wait until July to see what options are available as Emirates Airlines has been so up and down about the flight resumption issue from Nigeria to Dubai.

For all those self serving peeps running to WhatsApp and Telegram and creating groups....I have a few words for you guys.
Someone created this platform and since then many have benefited from the great tips shared here.
I came across this thread by chance and was like.....how come it took this long.
What's the crime in sharing tips on how you did your application, got your admission, got your visa to Estonia..... the challenges etc
In here, the words you type stay almost forever. Kids today will grow and at some point come here to read same stuff shared here. Such info will assist them in making some key decisions. Theses kids might be your children, grand kids...etc
For the sake of posterity, this platform should not be abandoned.
Uzhi, etc all did a good job....almost 5years ago, we can still learn from his experience.
Just so you know, after you get to Estonia you will need more info on how to do the next thing.
Most info will be picked online
You want to relocate to Germany,, Canada or Aussie.....you will fall back to nairaland.
Rather than kill this group, let's keep it going.

Had my interview yesterday, hopefully the admission will pull through....fingers crossed.

I learnt a couple of things from the application process but will share the full story much later.

For those already deep into it, how is the visa parole going?

One major question, what's the proof of fund requirement for Estonia visa?

Heard the trip via Dubai will cost almost 750K....how true is this?

Is India route still an option with the COVID-19 pandemic almost grounding that country?

What type of health insurance is needed? Learnt that swisscare is no longer accepted.

The more you share, the more you get....

QUESTIONS ASKED DURING INTERVIEW

1. which school did you get admitted to?

2. why did you choose estonia and why this particular course

3. why didn't you use school hostel ? ( i told her i don't like it )

4. what is your plan after your studies ?

5. how many countries have you been to?

6. have you been rejected schenghen visa before ( i said yes portugal )

7. when was that ? ( i told her i don't remember the year )

8. my relationship with my sponsor

9. she asked how will i be able to support myself if my sponsor refuse ( i told her i will take part job )

apart from the 2nd question which i gave a very long answer, the rest just one word answer


i did my finger print and stayed in Hotel in Abu dhabi for 4 days , then i receive mail that my visa was granted

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAQ

1. i am doing BSC ( the interview process and funds needed are mostly the same )

2. Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania don't care about your age if you are going for BSC ( i am age 29 - 31 ) . one my coursemate is a 40 year old man


JOB
there is no job in Estonia except you are very good in I.T, companies would sponsor you to school if you are very good in I.T

apart from I.T the only job available are delivery, uber and plate washing in restaurant ... you earn an average of 30-40 euro per day


if you have the money you can buy your own Uber car and be driving, it's much more better and you can make around 1500 euro monthly. just come with your Nigeria drivers license then you convert .. there is no job in Estonia but nothing is impossible

RENT

if you want to stay in hostel you will be paying around 200 euro monthly with utilities .. it's not bad at all

if you are looking to live outside the hostel please be ready to be frustrated, once you call landlord and they see you are a student, they stop picking your call, some will not pick your call again once they see you are black..

be ready to pay like 3 months rent upfront, you might be lucky, nothing is impossible

FOOD

food here is dirt cheap except you are looking for African food which is very very expensive ...


OVERVIEW ...

apart from the housing experience, there is nothing negative to say about Estonian, most are very nice ( but blunt ), job is not readily available but a lot of I.T opportunities, you also have access to other EU countries. it is very cold here, you only see sun 3 months out of 12 months. it's going to be hard at first believe me, weather can be depressing but you will get use to it as times goes on. also be ready for a lot of assignment, no matter the school you are going in Estonia, they gives assignment for fund and assume you know most things.

there are 3 major language in Estonia... English, Russian and Estonia language .. young adults speak English and Russia while the old speaks Estonian language , it can be frustrating because Russian speakers plenty pass English speakers ... Transportation is free in Tallinn via city bus


you can work 24/7 with your TRP in Estonia as long as you don't score below 51% in school, if you score below 51% you will be deported ( long story but the short version is you will be deported ). you can't bring your family if you are on BSC but you can bring your family after a year if you are on masters , you can bring your family immediately if you are on Phd.


you can't bring beef, milk or any dairy product into Estonia ( they seized my ponmon and beef at the immigration )

of course all i typed is based on my experience and others around me here, please don't take it as rule ...
