kwenu:


you can get a german university admission without having a german language certificate(eg from GOETHE INSTITUTE)or knowing how to speak German.universities in german give you admission to study with them.

but the German embassy here requires that you learn german language so that u can cope with their environment over there.
Austria is not like that, that's why i mentioned in one of my post that Austria is very flexible compared to Germany.
Germany have a more higher standard .

i am also awarethat there are courses taught in english and so the university grants you admission based on the fact that you have written english standardised test, i.e TOEFL. IELTS. ETC. but still yet at the german embassy they want to see proof that you can communicate in german Language.

The bolded is incorrect. I don't know where you got that from. Perhaps not German embassy.

German embassy requires no proof of German language ability if your program is English-taught. It is not a study visa requirement.

Just like in any other country, it is neccessary to learn the language of communication of that country in other to cope with every day living. You be the one to decide if you want to learn this at home prior to your travel or learning in Germany.

Somebody shud pls help me with how I can book or secure accommodation for residence permit application. I was told at the embassy to get evidence or confirmation of reserved accommodation for at at least 1year. I tried to book online, but because of restrictions on int'l money transfer from Nigeria I haven't gotten any,and moreso I cant afford the cost now cos of high exchange presently. Most of dem require deposit fee and all whatnot which amounts to approximately 1000euros which is separate from the rent itself.

If you have a way u can assist me or any suggestions, pls do so, it's urgent.

@marcondo13 what other thing is required apart from all these stuffs that are already listed by kwenu and do we really need to include the pry 6 certificate?

Also did you go with your other stuffs for the company e.g. cac docs e.t.c.

Anything from your sponsor, will be required during resident permit application, not during legalization because they will still check every info that you supplied and the expense is free,unlike the case of paying for the legalization of company's documents which will not be of any use in Austria!

dynekest:


1. Correct

2.The 1st police character is for three months for the legalization stuff, the period the consular will check. The next three months is for the visa processing. By then, the first police character will have expired (that's what the officer said) and that the process may enter the 7th month.

3. I will be using my brother as sponsor. so his documents will show his salary included with his employment stuffs and payment slip

4. No one is using an agent here. it's why we are sharing infos

Trust me when I say that insufficient funds or irregular account funding is the easiest way to get your application rejected! I got the 60%:30% rule direct from a contact at the Austrian Foreign Ministry and it was confirmed by Herr Helmut Brandstatter( the nice pudgy elderly bespectackled man) at the Consulate! Do not play the ostrich game because it is your life that is at stake,not his! So explain to him the consequence of depositing 60% of the total balance in his account within 30 days of your application, which is a REFUSAL! I was lucky in my case because of prayers and solid immigration legal specialists at my disposal because I was even advised to seek another country,if my appeal fails!

If you need help, why not state your department, school, and city ? It will get people's attention easier and even make other people in need of info about your school or department, to contact you!

University of Vienna
City: Vienna

justwise:


Austria don't offer free tuition fee for international students.

This is the list of European countries still offering that http://europe.graduateshotline.com/free-education.html#.WEQlEPmLTIU

you can say that its not completely free,

consider the money you pay to them , is it worth the quality of education they offer you, take for instance the University of Vienna.
its ranking and worth.

is 600-750 euros per semester . up to any university tuition fee in europe?

kwenu:
Austria is a good country, strict but less curruption there and with a low population.many Nigerians are travelling to Austria yearly as i know , most especially edo indegines dominate austria (Nigeria represent).
you cant live anyhow in Austria.your income is monitored, any single fraud alert against you will attract the Austrian Authorities to visit you residence.

the process involve in travelling to Austria is very long. you wait long. my friend started processing his and its 2 years now. they re still yet to grant him visa.

their education is free. you only pay some token amount of money for student union per semester(less than 500 euro persemester)

the process is long and their embassy is at Abuja only.
i ll soon get you the list of items /step by step process in getting your admission and securing your visa.

What if you have an uncle there? Is there anyway he can help with processing it if you have your transcript, WAEC and bsc certificate? Reply pls

yes they can help you but you need to be very involve because there are limits they can go.

you both can work together, also provided that u bear thesame surname with them (there are advantages to that)

The only help that your "uncle" can give you is to send an EVE to cover the need for a bank statement, and a house contract to cover the need for a letter proving a secured/reserved place of accommodation!
Apart from that,you are on your own because every document emanating from Nigeria must be validated by the Ministry of Education ( all educational documents), Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Austrian Consulate,Abuja.
Don't get it twisted because the rules is different compared to the UK and US authorities!
