THE COST OF MOVING FROM NIGERIA TO EUROPE

The cost of moving from Nigeria to Europe is not as simple as it seems. There are a lot of factors that need to be considered. The costs of moving to Europe include; the cost of the visa, plane tickets, and living expenses in Europe.
The financial cost of relocation is also often underestimated. The costs vary depending on where you are going, what you need to bring with you and how much time you have before leaving your current home.
Some families leave their home country because they cannot find the elements of a secure and healthy environment they need for their children.

These situations can be costly and challenging but not impossible to overcome. One of the biggest challenges in relocating is cultural understanding, resident permit, employment, language etc.

Business or work visas allow you to start a business or work and live in Europe. The most common type of visa is the Schengen visa, which enables Nigerians to travel freely within the Schengen area, including all European countries except Ireland.

EU BLUE CARD (WORK PERMIT)

The EU Blue Card Visa offers a two-year residence permit, and it is renewable. If you’re a citizen of a non-EU country and have been offered a job that is considered highly qualified, then you can apply for an EU Blue Card.

TO GET AN EU BLUE CARD, YOU MUST

• You must have a valid passport to apply for a permit. If your passport expires soon, renew it so that you still have a valid one when the permit application date arrives.
• It would help if you had the equivalent of 180 credits of tertiary education or five years of relevant professional experience.
• Health insurance Certificate for at least three months
• Received a full-time job offer with excellent benefits
• It would help if you had a robust salary that could cover your living expenses.

YOUR EMPLOYER MUST

• The job position is advertised in Sweden, EU/EEA, and Switzerland for at least ten days.
• It should provide information about employment and a chance for the relevant union to comment on working conditions.
• Offer good working conditions.
• You can live and work if you have an EU Blue Card issued in any EU country. If you have had your card for five or more years, you can apply for long-term residence.

WHAT’S THE COST OF LIVING IN EUROPE?

So you want to move from Nigeria to Europe? That’s a great idea! But before you make your move, it would be wise to research how much it will cost.
The cost of living in Europe varies depending on the country and city. You can expect to pay more for rent, food, transportation and utilities in Western European countries like Germany or France than in Eastern European nations like Poland or Romania. While the cost of living in Western Europe is higher than in Eastern Europe, salaries are also higher.
You should be prepared for the costs of moving to a new country. For example, if you’re moving from Nigeria to Germany and you have a car, you’ll need an international driving license and insurance before you can drive legally there.

EXISTENCE OF LANGUAGE BARRIERS

A well-prepared strategy for integrating into a new country has two main components: understanding the culture and knowing how to communicate with people in that culture. The process begins with learning the host country’s language. For instance, if you find yourself in any EU country, you should learn a native language to be integrated into the system.

Although I understand why many Nigerians prefer the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, English is the country’s spoken language in all English-speaking countries, as mentioned above.

The visa fee from Nigeria to any European country varies from country to country.
Generally, the visa fee is not expensive but depends on the country and its economic status. The visa fee charged to a Nigerian citizen when applying for a visa to any European country is usually costly. The average visa cost depends on the country you apply for and the categories of visas you applied for. The cost of visas in Germany is different from the cost of visas in Sweden.

Usually, the visa cost for each application is displayed on the individual country’s website, and there is no hidden cost.

In conclusion, Using a Blue Card from one European country to work in another is impossible. The EU Blue Card for that other country must be applied if you find work and meet the eligibility requirements. As soon as you have decided which country you would like to go to in Europe, you will need to start looking through job listings on websites such as Indeed or Monster Jobs that cover all of Europe. You can also use LinkedIn or Facebook groups for your desired location and websites like Glassdoor.

In European countries, the process begins with learning the basics of the country and its language. The best way to do this is to aim for fluency in the country’s language, allowing one to communicate with people and understand what they are saying.

Learning the culture of a new country is similar in that it will provide insight into cultural expectations and norms, as well as how one should behave.
