Welcome on Expat.com Funke

I have introduced your message in a new thread (in Estonia forum) for more visibility! I hope that you will get some responses soon in regards to your above queries!

My fiance wants us to stay in a quiet but friendly country away from nigeria.!! do the expats meet up? any guidance would be appreciated

As we don't have a Nigerian community here I doubt you'll receive many responses. Estonia is quiet and friendly, mainly white and a mix of Estonian Russians and Estonians. In that sense, there aren't any huge immigrant communities here and you'd probably stand out a bit on the street as there aren't too many blacks here either. National language is Estonian and learning it can prove to be a tough nut to crack (14 cases for example). You can get by with English only of course, but then you have to work for a multinational or be an entrepreneur. Estonian is pretty much a must if you compete for jobs with locals. Russian is a benefit, but not that important. Depends on the job. However, bureaucracy is almost non-existent and if you have a good business plan e.g. you can set up your company pretty quickly.
