the embassy isnt responsible for all that...i was helping a friend apply for indian visa from Dubai and they asked me to tell Estonia embassy to give me official invitation as proof so they can grant the visa...they told me they cant.

mind you Estonia is only allowed 1317 TRP per year as per schengen area regulations..as at June 1, they had issued 847. All this issue of visa not granted isnt about Egypt or India. But the Estonia embassy which must have informed them about their visa restrictions. Imagine you are going to school in September and they asked you to come back in 2months and you must resume by 15th Sept or else you lose the admission.

i think i have shed some lights on this issues. i went tru all of the process, hence i know all what i just typed.

I think that's for permanent residence , if it's for temporary we no go get am be that , according to police boarder guard they receive 300 application in a week then imagine in a year ...

Femirates:
The news below was on June 1, 2017.....please dont blame india and egypt for the scenarios there, i guess they are only acting based on instructions and those plannning to go to other places, please send a mail to the embassy to confirm if you can come stating the most probable date you feel you can. Its the case of manchester united playing barcelona and only one viewing center could show it...am sure you know what that means. God bless you all.

..................THE NEWS.......................

The Estonian Government must soon decide what to do in a situation, where businesses struggling with workforce shortages wish to bring in workers to Estonia, but the 0.1 per cent quota for residence and work permits stipulated by law will already be filled by the middle of the year.

Interior Minister Andres Anvelt is scheduled to take the issue of immigration quotas to the government within the next few weeks, the public broadcaster ERR reported on Friday. This year's quota for temporary immigration for citizens of countries from outside the EU is 1,317 people, but as of right now, 854 permits have been issued, which indicates that this year's quota may already be filled in summer.

Anvelt told ERR that while the easiest option would be to increase the quota, he is not certain if that would be the best option. He said that the strongest pressure to allow more immigrants to come to Estonia is coming from construction and industrial companies, but the state would like to receive educated workforce. This is why, when deciding over immigration permits, Estonia should implement a points system, which in addition to the needs of the labor market would also assess the education level and adaptability of the people arriving in the country.

This does not in any way show they have excess applicants than the allocated TRP

it is very true my brother, they asked us to come back and apply after two months...
even though that applied before they stop couldn't get their passport bk till after two months

Since you going to Lithuania why not go through SA? they issue long D visa.

Saintsquare:

I thought about that too, but I thought getting SA visa from here will even be more difficult based on the current diplomatic issues BTW 9ja and SA

[b]Can we just Mail Estonia all together & give them list of admitted students finding it hard to get Indian & Egypt Visa out of Nigeria. For them to find an alternative for us. [/b]Because all this news of is becoming scary

A friend of mine in Estonia, a graduating Masters students said we should individually write (separately) to the schools using the same complaint format. He said as far as the schools are concerned, people have been coming over the years and still coming. But since things are different this year, we need to shout to them via emails. If we can also do anything collectively, it will be nice.

He said he too would also talk to them. He actually thought I was the only one in Nigeria not able to get visa. He never took my complaint serious. I have been writing to them for three days now.

I do not think this matter concerns people going for purpose of study, l read it somewhere and l will try and check to see if l can get the link pasted here...

TRP to citizens of non EU countries

TRP is TRP it does not matter what you are going as either as a student or spouse to someone there. The categorization is citizens of EU and non EU countries.

permanent residence is a whole different thing entirely.....its talking about TRP from citizens of Non EU countries.

This does not in any way show they have excess applicants than the allocated TRP

what are you saying.....if by june 1, 854 has been issued and you say that does not in anyway show they have excess applicants. i got my visa on may 28, my frd got his june 12 and the serial numbers shows 63 was issued just between that dates. please what does that mean.

@ femirates in as much as statistics shows rate of issuing visa is high, it still doesn't mean applicants frm Non EU Nations won't get even with remaining slots, I'm very sure most of those visa issued by issued to workers and this is the period that students apply abi Estonia dey do summer application ni?

the school clearly states that it wont for any reason resend a certification of enrollment if for any reason an applicant cannot make it there.

the schools arent responsible for visa and they can never do anything about it. What has a school in Estonia got to do with Egyptian embassy or India embassy...all the school is responsible for is to give a document that truly you have admission. thats all

this is the period people apply like you rightly said but mind you applications have multiplied immensely. no matter what, they can never exceed the 1317 TRP to non EU applicants. And saying most are issued to workers, i disagree. The point is there was a massive increase in applications. Non EU coutries comprises people from Nigeria, India, Bangladesh and a host of many others.

men l truly don't understand your argument, if there's anything you're not sure of why not Google it,to shed more light on your argument check this link, www.vm.ee/en/newsletter.
If l am not mistaking the last paragraph of the page says the policy does not include people coming for research and purpose of study. and l guess TRP is different from WP and RP,, temporary residents permits is for purpose of study and research, while working permit and permanent resident permit, are issue to workers and EU citizens. knowledge,we need not perish for lack of it.

There has been a lot of misleading post on this forum, this is the reason we are facing problem with our processing now, The music of India is the best route, Egypt is a no go area, is what landed us in this problem now. let's research and make this forum more educative instead of making it scary. Let's do more of brainstorming than putting fear in people, let's have a constructive idea on the way forward. we are all aspiring to be successful, and we shall by God grace.

When did you fill the online application that they gave a you this date?

Last week. As at that time available date was 17-23 July, so I picked 21st.

God bless you for this contribution. Sincerely, school doesn't have business with any of the embassies here, the best they've done was to have addressed the admission letter to them. They even said it in the COE mail that embassy shd appeal to them directly should they need clarification. It was stated in the mail that it shd be printed and taken along to embassy.

At this point, it will be a good thing if the school can send a representative to Nigeria to clear all applicants this would enable all to channel applications to one embassy. I remember this one done by one university in Ukraine years ago when my Bro got admitted n they all got their visa.
Lets keep trying or if there's a good writer here, you can write to school on behalf of all applicants though I once gave them this suggestion but no response till date.

Lets hope they are bringing their embassy to Nigeria soon. Wish you all d best in this struggling of life

its not about negativity. getting an info doesnt mean you must make your decision on it. you will also make your research and if its not so...come back and prove the person wrong with evidence. We are not the one issuing visa in any embassy, so our negativity{as you call it} isnt a factor to consider. we dont have to say things you want to hear just not to be negative.

Residence permit
06/23/2017

The issue of residence permits to the third country nationals and persons with undetermined citizenship is regulated by the Aliens Act.

For submitting the application in the Service Office you need to make a reservation.

Residence permit may be temporary (validity period up to five years) or long-term.

The immigration quota for 2017 is 1317.

Upon the issue or extension of the residence permit an alien is issued a residence card. Residence card contains its holder’s personal data, data related to residence and work permits, photo and fingerprint images.

By applying for a residence permit fingerprints are captured from applicants as of 6 years of age. In order to capture fingerprints, an applicant has to apply in person to the Service Office of a Prefecture of the Police and Border Guard Board or to foreign representation of the Republic of EstoniaFingerprints are not taken, if a person is less than 6 years of age, less than 5 years have passed from capturing fingerprints by applying for a travel document, residence permit/right of residence or residence permit card, or if permanent incapability of a person to give fingerprints has been established in advance.

As a result of the amendments of the Aliens Act from 18.01.2017, aliens who have a residence permit of Estonia are no longer obliged to stay in Estonia for at least 183 days during a year. Aliens have an obligation to use a residence permit in accordance with its intended purpose and fulfil the conditions for the issue of the residence permit also during the period of its validity. As a consequence of the amendments, the obligation to register stay away from Estonia at the Police and Border Guard Board was lifted. Details of the place of residence in the Population Register of Estonia still have to be correct.

@ Femirates I choose to disagree with you because u don't have full access to the statistics to back your claim that slots for Non EU is almost filled up. Why will a school issue admission when it knows that quotas for those students to which admission was given has been filled up? That's a folly which I sincerely doubt because these people don't anyhow like the Naija way.

My advice: let's all send them a mail stating the problem and pleading to table this issue with their border force, if it's possible to designate a particular embassy to treat enquiries for Estonian visa from Nigeria.
Abi shey students wey get admission for Estonia from Nigeria reach 1000 ni?
