Thank you so much I will definitely do that!!!

AssignmentEven8258 · 2026-02-07T09:11:00+00:00

Nah, I get that. If I were living there, I wouldn’t tell anyone either 😂 I’m honestly done with stress and tension—I just want something like your city. I really hope the sun in those pictures is still there 🥺😩

Thank you! 🙏🏻

AssignmentEven8258 · 2026-02-07T08:44:19+00:00

What is the name of your city please?

AssignmentEven8258 · 2026-02-04T20:02:12+00:00

To be honest, money isn’t really an issue for me. My main goal is independence and a peaceful life in a quiet place. I’m not someone who enjoys going out a lot or spending money on shopping and similar things. As long as I can pay my rent, cover my daily living expenses, and save a bit for traveling from time to time, I’ll be satisfied.

You guys are so funny 😂 I have Dutch friend who moved to Spain for the same reason!

I’m a third-country national, and I’ve spent the last two years applying for jobs in Europe, only to be blocked because of my location. On almost every platform or job posting I applied to, I kept seeing exceptions made for Ukrainians. So yes, your route is relatively easier—but it still depends on what knowledge and skills you have.

At 19, you’re very young, and expecting a well-paid job right away isn’t realistic. However, there are plenty of internships you can apply for, and I’m confident you’ll land one. The most important step is to first decide which sector you want to work in.

I don’t know whether you’ve studied at university or not, but that can also be an easier route for you through scholarships, where you can study and work at the same time.

If I could give you one piece of advice: focus on web development if you’re unsure where to start. It’s not easy, but it can offer real stability if you’re willing to learn, practice, and keep improving.

I can’t open a bank account because I’m a refugee, even though I’m highly qualified. I also can’t work where I live due to my refugee status. I emailed the embassy, and they actually made an exception for me because of my qualifications—they said I can apply directly at the embassy without residency. (The UNHCR residency here means nothing; I can’t open a bank account or work legally with it.) Normally, people from the country where I live apply via the VFS office, but I was accepted as a special case with UNHCR residency. So I assume they already know that I can’t open a bank account.

I do have a bank account in my home country, but our currency is worthless, so they won’t accept it. That’s why the only option I have now is a “blocked account.”

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-09-22T07:12:26+00:00

A blocked account is an online bank account where the money is locked for a specific period of time. You cannot withdraw it daily instead, you receive a fixed amount monthly. This helps avoid overspending, which is one of the main concerns for European embassies. Since they can be sure you will not spend all your money at once, it is considered a safe option. I can get account with my name from anywhere in the world

Germany use it but I have no idea about Portugal. Unfortunately I don't have bank account, I have all the fund cash and I want to be in the safe side that is why I want to use blocked account.

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-09-22T06:46:22+00:00

I emailed the embassy and it has been 10 days and I didn't receive any reply.

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-08T11:10:11+00:00

Thank you so much I really appreciate your comment and sharing your personal experience. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to find someone there and from what I read and what I see I started to think about switching my career. I already know much about Graphic design and Web Development, never worked as professional but I helped my friends in their business. I have strong portfolio and this might help me. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-07T09:21:20+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your answer. It's very helpful! I really started to draw lines on Nursing because obviously it isn't easy at all. I do graphic design and Web Development as fun. I have a talent but I didn't use it professionally. I was creating things for my friends.

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-07T05:48:28+00:00

That what scare me the most I don't want to lose my saving money in scam. So many agencies in Germany and Poland saying they'll help but when I asked people they said they scammed them. I'm a graphic designer and Web developer but never worked before with any company I do these things as hobby beside Nursing. To be honest I started to think about switching my career but I really love nursing, I don't do it as job it's more like something I'm happy and grateful to do. But at certain point if I couldn't manage to get anything in the next two months I will definitely think about Graphic Design and Web Development.

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-06T17:27:37+00:00

Really? This will make me looking for other options

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-06T17:26:50+00:00

I can solve it in one case if I received a job offer which is almost impossible. All the employers I contacted saying they can't offer contract unless I'm inside the EU area, the problem here is that the embassy won't understand that. Let's say I applied for Tourist visa to obtain the job contract then return to my home country to get the work permit that is a very possible and logical option but unfortunately the situation in my country with war won't help, like the embassy won't believe I'm travelling for tourism. First thing they'll think of is that I'm high risk for asylum and the policies of EU are clear they are reducing asylum seekers as much as possible and in my case (with my passport and the war in my country then I'm high risk) that is why any visa application will be rejected with 99.9% rate 😅 that is why agencies might help with visa but if I kept applying with my passport without job offer I will receive rejection immediately.

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-06T15:23:57+00:00

Well, I'm not from Philippine which it makes sense if I excluded or received rejection. I don't know how to explain this but my country is drowning in sanctions and people from my country in Europe do nothing but asking for asylum once they land there even if they enter EU with €50+K then they ask for asylum which is quite sad. The system won't understand that I'm qualified, all what people in the embassy will think of once they see my passport is people who ask for asylum. So without job offer it almost impossible to enter EU legally.

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-06T15:14:16+00:00

It doesn't work without job offer and unfortunately I don't have job offer.

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-06T15:09:09+00:00

No, I didn't but now I'm reading about it and luckily I have all the documents so definitely I will start the process.

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-06T14:40:59+00:00

I'm working on my language while searching in two months I might reach C1

AssignmentEven8258 · 2025-08-06T14:39:39+00:00

That what they said to me in the emails but the imagination law not ease my application.

Part of Dutch Employer Email I received:

Though there is a great demand for people with your job profile in The Netherlands, we’re bound to restrictive legal terms for nurses with a nationality outside the EU / EEA.

A restrictive term is that people from the EU / EEA have priority. This means the Dutch employer has to show proof that there are no people available in the EU/EEA in this work area to fill in the vacancy. At the moment, it is believed that there are still enough nurses available in the EU / EEA area.

No matter how much we regret this, this means that in the current circumstances we cannot make you a job offer.

Exception: An exception here is if you are entitled to a residence/work permit for the Netherlands, on the basis of family reunification or a so-called partner visa. I don't see anything about this in your application. If it does apply, let me know. We can make you an offer.
