They usually give you photos of areas of the house and they ask you to go double check and get back to them in 2weeks. Make sure you check properly as sometimes they omit some corners. What I do is take photos of the omitted areas and areas that doesn't fit the descriptions on the photos given to me and send them as email attachment to the real estate. Ensure you do that wethin a week of moving in. Joan011: 3 Likes 1 Share |

What flight did you use and how was the experience? I used South African Airways it wasn't the cheapest tho if I can remember Turkish was the cheapest but with longer hours followed by SAA which was 40hours it wasn't easy at all LAGOS - JOHANNESBURG check in went well and smooth no issue but always make sure you weigh your bags very well. we took off in the evening, the plane is a new one very neat and big with bug screen and port to charge phone we arrived early in the morning the duration was 6hours or so the food wasn't bad also for this leg. Before leaving Nigeria I was told to go and ask SAA if I can get hotel reservation in South Africa but I was told it's not possible due to not booking directly with them so painful. On getting to the Airport I asked the price of the hotel it was so expensive can't remember the price again its per hours not per day.the stopover was over 13hours imagine sitting down in a particular place for half a day and nothing to do just window shopping and walking around plus eating and the restaurant inside the airport was expensive I had breakfast and lunch there . the wifi at the airport is free for 4hours and it's not unlimited and to get more hours wasn't easy at all after using the 4 hours I was so bored JOBURG TO PERTH The plane was small, not neat and old and no port to charge phone very terrible. Didn't enjoy this leg at all I don't have much to say here anyway after picking up my bags I was asked to open my bags and my locust beans was seize and at the port of entry I was asked where I will stay and I told the lady can't remember the other question and that's was all. I checked in for my other flight going to Sydney, brought sim card and adaptor and I went to the gate sat on the chair and I connected to the fast internet I was so happy ehn the stopover was short but enjoyed it the leg from PERTH TO SYDNEY was so long can't believe 4 hours journey within a country that was when I realise that AUSTRALIA IS THE END OF THE WORLD So tired right now will update the house with pictures later and more stories 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Pls are all Nigerian students studying courses that lead to PR. Been trying to get admission to a uni for a course that lead to PR. the courses are few as I have a maths background and have worked as a banker for 7 yrs. I really desire to move on from my current job and develop myself. 1 Like |

snowlordng: Look towards New Zealand I think it's cheaper for PHD. In most schools you should be able to finish in 3.5 years. If the post study visa is still the same by the time you finish, you should be able to get up to 3 years. 1 Like |

Fast forward.... Two months into Australia, now I understand when people don't login for months into Australia. It's because of work! Work! Work! For people coming to Australia, download tee Airtasker app... It's one of the fastest way to start getting jobs before you land a temporary or permanent one. 21 Likes 9 Shares |

Don't go about spending the nice Aussie Dollars you get aftrmer conversion cos you'll need every bit of it. I got a room for $150 per week, private room which is kinda big and very cheap in my opinion. I don't visit African shops cos things are kinda expensive there. I stick to my rice, veggies and fruits but for those who are Nigeria food patriots well be prepared to spend some $$. Please and Please make sure your International Drivers License is with you when you land here. As a student you can use it for the entire duration of your studies. 7 Likes 2 Shares |
