Wow Deutsch bank just told me the form I sent was outdated and then gave me a link to their website where I can download the form, but the only difference I can find is about having tax residence in Germany or another country with available spaces to fill up the names of those countries, but aside that I find no other difference with the first form I filled. But the real issue is what do I fill in this tax residence stuff, pls has anyone had a similar situation? Your contributions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

@eke40seven thanks for answern, you willll pass your exams in jesus name. Amen!! How about people with only german msc.

Only German Msc. bros run for your life ohh.... when i say run i mean it.
I have been down that route unless you brain is equivalent to Einsteins brain....lol.
You can try only German bsc before doing only German Msc.

Not to discourage you but give it a try and let us know how it is.


Reason for my advice is this.
You did your Bsc in English, all the technical terms in your field are in English including learning materials. If you study in German then everything will be in German.
Trust me English-German dictionary will be closer to your heart than your bible.
Your reading rate will decrease.
Difficulty reading up your modul slides... and so on.

Well like i said, you can give it a shot. You never can tell, there is always an exception to every rule, you may just be one.

My stay in Germany here for 3 yrs was a hit back to back. pls if u want my german visa, come and collect it. Stop listening to those guys telling you Germany is easy cos i have met 3 guys here complaining those in nairaland deceived them that Germany was easy and job full cos they were seeing something different here. First of all the language na die
The reason most people dont come back is that they have spent so much and have to endure their decisions in frustration cos coming back empty handed na the worst so them don price so them must buy. Na that situation unua want? Pls think of better countries like Canada. Na the free sch fees deceive me come here but how many people dey even graduate here sef wey be say their education tough die and if u fail one curse 3 times dem do drive u commot from sch. How u want take even cope for study when u never pay bills and no job or when u even get job if at all u got and u come back late so tired after doing heavy rejected jobs here how do u think u cab read again that day. who no go no know. Many Nigerians are depressed here and frustrated. God bear me witness am speaking the truth but nothing but the truth.

He who has ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying.

Only thinking about the bolded dey make me fear. I never start to work oh..Iwan start to hustle next semester..but again..I am very very scared..Make I no go fail...I have already experienced such first hand. I have an Indian classmate, very very intelligent dude. He started missing classes and took up a job as a hotel manager, and in the end failed an exam we all had together. One which he should have aced if he studied hard enough..
The thought of combining work with study plus the very very difficult edu system (imagine me living life like say I dey Undergraduate..reading sleeping..reading.. sleeping..; monotonous boring life; again I come hear say dem go tax u 35% if u earn more than 450euros even as a student-very very mean society) makes me want to regret coming here in the first place. But again what can I do? I no fit get mind complain, cos I have been given the rare privilege many on the streets of Lagos don't have, and I believe Insha Allah when the time to join book with work comes (which is even more important than the book itself, else u'd be kicked out of d country), God go make way wey boys go take run am without failure... If people have done it in the past, then I can do it.

So my aspiring people, its not as rosy here oh..It would have been better if you don't have to think about making money to survive but only worry about reading the book which you came here to read in the first place. And if you have the funds, I'd advise you pursue Canada or US instead... But again, if you are a Nigerian like I am, I believe we would survive even the harshest of conditions...Just be like me folks and don't lose hope.

The bank hasn't contacted me since then. I however have a feeling that ticking the 'I am resident for tax purposes in Germany only' is the wrong answer. I think we are supposed to tick ' I am resident for tax purposes in the following Countries outside Germany',choose Nigeria or which ever country u reside and include your tax ID number. If you don't have one, give reasons why.

I found this online, might be helpful. Waiting for the bank to contact me so i can send my form again with the correct tax info. undecided

But seriously why not do your best to relocate to canada or at least apply for jobs in Naija,. You do not have to settle down in Germany, I believe with your German certificate you would be given preferential treatment for jobs in Naija (depending on your field though). My brother even in the canada you dream of, you would find people complaining there as well, and of course you know schooling in canada is more expensive no matter how difficult or expensive it is in Germany. In summary I agree with you that canada may be better but I believe your studying in Germany has also paved the way for you at least it has opened doors for more opportunities irrespective of the present circumstances.

Apply ni, apply ko? Who go chop jofflof rice and chicken come go back go dey drink garri?
The advise you should give id get the degree, which in itself is very difficult grin, then relocate.
Something more than a few people do.

lol at the waking @ 4:00am to go to work in germany when people already do that in Lagos daily without a single complain. What was the op expecting? Germany to roll out the red carpet for him when he arrived. It is tough everywhere and there are Nigerians doing well financially just as some are equally struggling in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany etc including Nigeria. I do agree with the op on the need to manage expectations but I think tips on getting and balancing work, school as well as achieving good grades would have been much more appreciated to further help applicants make informed decisions.
The answer to this has been posted here several times; LANGUAGE! If you sabi language u go fit work for office. If you sabi operate Computer and software (programming like my oga Dolpaz) you you go see work plenty and u no go need to dey go cleen people piss or pack people shit or carry load upandan. But if you no sabi language, hw u go take write the code? Na language be the difference between Germany and other "easy" countries afterall. Plus book here hard. I never been to Canada nor UK, so no no if book simple there or not, but book simple for US... So in the end, na Language be the koko..and no free money for here. You gats work for every single penny! In the end, what I tell myself is; Its no longer if you survive Nigeria, you can survive anywhere.. Now it's if you survive Germany, you can survive anywhere in the world.
(PS: Everyone has their own definiton of suurvival. Some dont value good grades, others do). It refines your life, makes you a better person, makes you a hard worker!!! I know it might be surely boring and difficult as hell now, but I am very confident that there's a God, who sees the hardwork and dedication of man... Not necessarily whether you believe in Him or not, but the simple recognition that He exists plays a major role as the Grace to succeed will just come out of nowhere.

I hear job dey for after school...but again two things are involved. I guess you already know the first, and no its not grades. Then talk about the course, then the grade; I hear at least a 2.0 for company jobs; then again something very vital EXPERIENCE!!! I hear its neck and neck with language in the hierarchy of employment requirements.
