I have searched through the thread but can't seem to find a definitive "yes" or "no".

Capital Y.E.S....I used Nipost to send my documents to 5 different skools in Germany and it got der in 10 working days....Nipost is reliable

Hello Ritzyvic, I didn't have to apply for a new passport and as long as your passport is valid for up to 6 more months after the visa is issued then it is acceptable by the embassy but I felt it was easier to get a new passport from Nigeria instead of doing it here cos of the stress of traveling and i've heard a lot of tales about naija embassies and high commisions in other countries so I didn't wanna go through that stress and i'm glad I did so cos its quite difficult to get a new passport here. There are 3 cities where you ca get passports here in germany which means You have to travel if you don't live in those cities. Also many times they tell you they don't have passport booklets, which means you might have to go France, Holland, Belgium or other Neighboring countries to apply. I was also told by friends that the service at the nigeria embassies was nothing to write home about and i've also seen some videos online of Nigerians protesting at embassies for delays in passport issuance. All pthese prompted me to sort the thing in naija.

Could you kindly share your experience in obtaining a new passport even when the old one was yet to expire? I imagine the immigration officers been giving you a tough time with such a request

[quote author=boboro1 post=57896333][/quote]lol -none of my biz- why in da world would you be seeking for another BSc @your age when you can just go for Masters #justthinkingoutloud

@ kag 1 yes i applied for another bsc...i had a bsc frm U.I already but am here for another bsc....i will also like to state that guys note that theschool admission letter u use to apply for visa is what will be written on ur student visa..note that the name of the schools admission letter u use to apply for visa interview is what will be on your visa...tho u can change schools buh i always donot advice that ..

This is not true. It is the school you had your interview with that will be written on the visa and not the one you apply for an interview with. Also, you can get a visa with school A and travel to school B but must tell them at the point of entry that you are going to the school written on your visa and then find your way after that. The name on the visa doesn't really matter cause in the next 3-6 months, you will change it to resident permit of the city you eventually choose which will come in a card form or pasted on your passport. This is nothing to worry about at all. Shalom

ritzyvic1:


You just touched something that got my attention
Did you say that you had to apply for a fresh international passport because it was a year from expiry date? Mine is a year from expiry too and I'm going for an interview soon. Is it really necessary to get a new one? Nigerian embassy no dey Deutschland? Or does the German embassy require a passport with validity longer than the visa duration?

If you can renew it before you get your visa, it will be good. I mean before or after your interview so that your visa will be placed on the new one. The reasons why it will be preferable for you to renew it in Nigeria are:

1. After getting your visa maybe for 3 or 6 months, you will need to apply for a residence permit when you get in and secured an accommodation. They are supposed to give you 1 or 2 years of residence permit depending on the city, but they will only give you the duration that your passport covers. For example, if the expiry duration of your passport is 6 months and your city gives 2 years, you can not be given more than 6 months after which you might need complete block account, or part, or work contract to renew again.
2. They might be non-availability of booklet at the embassy when you really want to renew it in Berlin.

The journey will take you like a day or two depending on how close you are to Berlin. If you get there as early as 6-7am in the morning, you can get it on the same day. Shalom

Mrbigman1:

Have u gotten a date?
Wen did u book?
Mine is two days now and no date.

Resend the email within working hours That's what I did after one full day of not hearing from them. I got a date after sending the second email within a few hours

UncleJudax:

Your last sentence is not entirely true. There is Uniassist deadline which comes before those of Uniassist universities.
This allows them to process the documents in time.

An application with June 15th deadline still having "not processed tag" is a huge concern.

I wish him well regardless.

It is not. If the deadline is June 15th and his application got to uni-assist on June 15th at 11:55pm, his application will be processed and forwarded to the schools. Once his documents and payment get to uni-assist on or before the deadline, he has nothing to worry about provided the school is not requesting for VPD to be sent with other documents after applying to uni-assist within the time frame like HAW, Hamburg(few schools do this).Shalom

Mrbigman1:


Have u gotten a date?

Wen did u book?

Mine is two days now and no date.

Send it again late in the night or early in the morning to :

student@lago.diplo.de and copy info@lago.diplo.de attaching the necessary documents. They don't really have a certain number of days though. Sometimes, you might get a response within 12hrs, while sometimes, within 24hrs, 2-day, a week and so on. Shalom

kag1:
Please, people is it ok to attend a visa interview with a passport showing the previous passport number even though one has never applied for a visa before even with the old passport?
Should he take the old and new along with him?

Someone should please update us on the current trend at the embassy..........

okezie007:

I reckon It might be quite difficult to do, Just go to the passport office and try to explain and hopefully they will do it. You might have to grease some palms tho.

morning house please does any1 know about mannheim business school m hoping to apply next year I have a 1.9 on the German scale

acedboss:


I reckon it's gonna be quite difficult to do it but I was lucky cos a family friend works in the passport section of the NIS so he helped me with it.

Wow! Your really fortunate and priviledged as well. Can we chat privately at designplanna@gmail.com

Hi. Applying for a passport in Berlin takes up to six months recently. You will have to go to the embassy for application and later again for picking it. It cost 200-300 euro and the embassy people have to send the papers to Abuja to get it. It's cheaper to apply in Nigeria.

GermanDreamer:
cc: Tinder . I have read your above posts on worries about uni-assists on your application. You may not be alone as others may be in your shoes but just following silently. I want to ask?
Was it in the month of MAY you made your application to uni-assist?
I saw the date you quoted for the confirmation of receipt but in essence what was the actual date your couriered documents got to uni-assist?
As I await your response, if your application, fee payment,delivery by courier were all completed this month, you need to ''chillax'' b/c your application is in other as long as they did confirm of having received payment & documents of yours.
But if your application was made towards the month of MAY 3rd/4th week and completed (payment and sending documents+delivered), you may use the contact form to remind uni-assist as current processing time for applications from AFRICA on their web-page is 4weeks (http://www.uni-assist.de/news.html) and different regions which they have their applications have different processing times but in general they do state 4-6weeks. In other-words, in less busy periods, applications are treated quickly never mind any processing time(s).

Yes i made my online application in the later part of May but i paid the application fee on the 1st of June and uniassist confirmed my payment on the 8th of June, then i also forwarded my documents to uniassist on the 3rd of June.

Then you are good

ok danke.

I don't understand this nairaland style, who be admin self. I just woke up one day and they banned me for "I don't know why", abi nah person report my moniker? If you look my face now I'm not smiling
Issorite... So what did I miss?

Hi brethens, please can I book for an appointment with my admission letter with the embassy while still waiting for my Verpflichtungserklärung to arrive? Cos my enrollment date is September 18th and instead of waiting since there has to be six weeks between booking appointment and enrollment. I'm hopeful before the would be appointment date my Verpflichtungserklärung would be available.
A prompt response would be appreciated

Good day bro,
My passport will expire in a year time also. I've tried to renew at the immigration office but I was told I can only renew when it's six months to expiration. Though I've booked visa interview with the passport I have now but I'm thinking of applying for a new passport after the interview. Would it be accepted by the embassy? Thanks

Good day bro,
I did the same thing and my new passport was accepted by the embassy. I suggest you contact them via mail to inform them of the change once you get the new passport.

Made123:
House please does anyone know how the interview process @ at FAU Erlangen is been conducted? I received a mail stating that I have reached the second stage of admission and I will have to undergo a face-to-face interview to further access my suitability for the program. Although I replied the mail stating that I'm not residing in Germany and would accept any other alternative means to get the interview done. Thanks alot.

Hi....I also applied at FAU but wasn't requested to do a face to face interview. What course did you apply for?

@lalastical and other mod we need part 4
