surecan: Please for those in Germany,how many years residence permit will be extended once you arrive in Germany for those going for 2 years master program.Thank you

Already looking ahead lol. You would be issued a residence permit after 3 months of arrival, which will be valid for a year. Though there are claims that those with scholarship are issued a two-year residence permit.

Generally, for those planning to study in Germany, you would be better-off if you grasp a bit of German, say A1 level before traveling to Germany. Asides relating better with the locals, you certainly can seek scholarships and even loans as knowledge of German will always be a prerequisite. Furthermore, you get to save money (more expensive learning deutsch in Germany than in Nigeria, plus you can put your pocket money to other use) and probably time. As for jobs, "they" say it's easier to get student jobs in the west of Germany, so you might want to consider that while applying to universities, but have in mind also that the cost of living is also higher... That notwithstanding, if you NEED a job (whichever city you might choose) you will definitely find one especially if you are skilled (e.g IT or Autocad skills); language only becomes an issue if the job requires you to render services to people.

You are right. Jobs are easier to find in the south/western part of Germany than the Easter or northern part. Also English is widely spoken in the south/west region.

Hello someone should answer my question how long does it take uni*ssist to comfirm the payment.. Bank transferr..

topeajis: @tummie marsha pls how much did you spent sendng the document.? And how long does it take uni-assist to comfirm you payment..

Since the money was transferred from a german bank, it took less than 30mins, becos my cousin sent me the evidence of payment in less than 30mins. Concrrning my documents transfer, FedEx charged me a total sum of #8,890 and promised me that my documents wil get to it destination in three working days. Best of luck to everyone yet to send his/her own papers.

iluminati:

does the embassy charge any amount to open the account for students? Which days of the week does the embassy accept applications?

No the embassy does not charge anything its absolutely free. How every the bank will remove 50EURO as service fee after you have made all you deposite n arive in Germany. U can go anyday monday to friday btw 7am n 12noon. But I suggest u go January cos it appears the embassy is on vacation.

Hi everyone, I'm studying in North Cyprus and i intend to further my education in Germany...However, i want to know, if I apply,will i be given back my passport immediately or do I have to submit it? I will have to go to Turkey to apply as i cannot apply for student visa to Germany in North Cyprus.I will be giving less than a month Turkish Visa. However, if the Visa process exceed a month,then I will be an illegal resident in Turkey.

Thank you simplyD fot this nice information

First of all do you have an admission already or u wish to apply as an exchange student . That is the first criteria for ur student visa and if you do then you will need to open a blocked account,Deposit of at leats 8000 euro which u will use ur admission letter to process the account once its opened then you can now book an appointment with the embassy for interview. After the interview I think ull hear from them fter 3-4 weeks or thereabout if ur visa is approved or no.

.

Thanks Flange, I'm completely capable of meeting the criteria for the blocked account.

If it takes just three weeks, then it's fine....but if it is more than, then there is problem because for now, i can only apply for one month Turkish visa and if it expires while my passport is still with the german embassy, i will be an illegal resident in Turkey.

Will the embassy hold my passport down before approval or will i be given back my passport immediately after the interview?

The 3 weeks is the time after the interview but also the process of the blocked account also will be some weeks too
And about ur passport I don't know if they re going to hold it or no maybe you will have to wait for those who have actually been through this process u can refer to the beginning of the thread u will get some useful info there that will enlighten you on ur situation
In nigeria here the complete visa process is about 2 months please Experts ur help NEEDED

If a married student give birth in Germany,what will be the status of that child in Germany,can the child be a citizen?

surecan: If a married student give birth in Germany,what will be the status of that child in Germany,can the child be a citizen?

That one is normal nah...the child becomes a citizen automatically

Hello house pls. Someone told me there is a centre to learn german language around ikeja pls who knws how 2ru ds is ?..

who told u d child becomes automatically german citizen unless the father or mother is one.

surecan: If a married student give birth in Germany,what will be the status of that child in Germany,can the child be a citizen?

if one gives birth in Germany, the baby will become German citizen and this will make the parents have automatic permernent resisdence to stay back in Germany and look after the child who is their citizen. Inshort that is what mosy naija are doing now to get papper.

I mean't other examination bodies like NABTEB and NECO. Because i know they are also member of Int'l Association for Educational Assessment-(IAEA) association that brings all national examination bodies 2gether in the world. Just asking.

my friend ,Your informations is 100% wrong.i beleive u are just assuming.I live in Germany and dont pass wrong information around.

Neither the child nor the parents become German citizens. One of the parents must be a German citizen for the child to qualify for citizenship. This is not the USA.

naijaobi:

children born in Germany to non-German parents may, under certain conditions, acquire German citizenship. These conditions are as follows: One parent has to have lived legally in Germany for at least eight years prior to the child’s birth and be neither an EU citizen entitled to freedom of movement, an equally entitled citizen of an EEC member state, a Swiss citizen entitled to freedom of movement, or the holder of an EU residence permit or a settlement permit in accordance with the ResidenceAct.
