But Billothewisp (or rather one of his aliases) has come across another rather strange possibility. That of people moving to Bulgaria. But this influx will not be from other EU nations, and potentially, the new arrivals won't be staying in Bulgaria that long either.
For some unknown reason Billothewisp's other identity has somehow managed to get put onto an email list that (apparently) trades in Visa's.
Here's a snapshot of the email I received:
Interestingly, you may notice the sentence:
"you can study in the EU or get transferred to the UK, USA....."
Also notice
"Golden opportunity for those without IELTS"
It doesn't exactly look like there is a huge requirement for formal academic qualifications either.
"noc from the principal of the last attended college or school mentioning that the student is fit for university studies in India or abroad"
I don't know whether this is just a scam aimed at fleecing Indians looking for a back door into Europe (and potentially the UK) or a genuine scheme aimed at bypassing entrance requirements.
But clearly the stated purpose is to avoid having to meet the IELTS requirement ( link to IELTS here) needed to study in the UK and most other EU countries.
To me it appears mightily strange. I hope there is a simple (and honest) explanation. If such an explanation exists would love to know what it is.
Maybe someone in the Borders Agency would like to take a look? (sigh....thought not).
