Hi guys,

Hope everyone is fine. I got admission into Metropolia university of Applied science in Finland. Resumption time is Oct 1st. So I need direction on visa application. And my study will last just a year because I am an exchange student.

1. I am an architect, a freelancer. I get most of my jobs on fiverr(online freelance). So, my source of fund isn't documented, no pay slip nothing. Just direct transfer from my clients or money exchanger.

Please how do I explain my source of income in this situation.

2. Can I book an appointment before I complete my online visa application?

3. Hope they won't mind if I drop lump sum into the account with proof of sales of property? For my statement of account.

I will be expecting feedbacks. Kindly help a brother in this hustle. My mind and soul is not in Nigeria anymore.

Hello,
Response to your questions:

Please I want you to tutor me on this schooling in Finland. I want to know if:-

1. It is certain I would get 100% waiver for the school fee.
Depends on the strength of your application; your statement of purpose/intent, recommendations, previous project work etc
Some program offers living allowance of 620 per month to the students, like in UEF, students of Chemistry, Photonics and Biological Studies get that allowance


2. It is possible to get a stay there legally at the end of your programme after the one year work permit.
Yes and its now 4-year work permit (called Permit Class A)

3. If one can apply for Master's with a Master's degree or it must be with Bachelor's degree.
They mainly require your B.Sc degree but you are free to use your MSc

4. Is this route worth it
Depends what you want at the end of it; staying here or just acquiring the education. At least, you can go anywhere with your student status. Yankee visa thats so hard in Naija, I got for ease here

5. Are you there already?
Yes, Im going to Year 2 of my studies soon

I chose to ask you these cos I need your experience and it seems you are there already. Will appreciate your in depth information.
It might be hard at the beginning, adjusting and all that, but its a stepping stone to other things if you prefer to go other places.

I hope I have been able to answer your questions
