I can imagine your state of mind. For those who have never had to make such life changing decision, it's not easy.
I guess your cold feet is mostly about leaving the relative tranquility of Qatar for the hussle and buzzle (probably racist terrain) of Germany.
I would advise that you should try weighing the pros and the cons of each by writing them down. Once you are able to itemize them, you are better off making an informed decision rather than an emotional decision.

On the issue of insurance, I have always used Mansard. There rates are friendly and their terms are reasonable. Also, I can trust them due to affiliation with GTbank.
Just me though.
All the best going forward. Cheers!

PS.... Also read blogs on life and living in Germany as a foreigner.

I just got my Visa to go to Germany. I am having cold feet making this journey. I have already told my boss I am leaving my current position.

I am yet to tell HR because of this cold feet. I have been in Qatar for 2years now and I think its best I move since I cannot marry and bring wify here.

The German company is paying for my flight and accommodation for 2 weeks but I am still having cold feet. The process is cumbersome.. I just realised I need health insurance to make this move. Where can i get such in Nigeria.

Congratulations!!!
Please share the process involved in applying and securing the job?

It's normal to have such feeling when one is about to leave a comfort zone for an uncharted terrain.
Do not hesitate to move.
You can ask your employer about the health insurance.


Nigeria comfort zone or are my eyes deceiving me? You dey OK?

It's a good move you took, also it depands on the nature of your contact with the German company, some of the companies do pay for your health insurance, similarly the embassy might require you to bring travel health insurance, before they can issue you visas, there are lots of health insurance companies in Germany, like Aok, Bermen, Ika Sud west all this are public and private like Mawister etc, it depends on your age, for them to know how much you would pay on a monthly basis.

If you'll be relocating to Germany for work you'll need health insurance in Germany. Many companies offer health insurance as perk usually large corps and multinationals.

Otherwise use Google to research the major health insurance companies and packages available in Germany and use that.

Health insurance in most EU countries is very affordable and is tied into the social insurance scheme.

No need to have cold feet about Germany, it's a nice country the people can be very private thou you'll not have any busy body neighbors that's for sure.

However, germans are not friendly and very cold but they love our music. Try and make friends with irish people. They are very nice. Also, learn the language. Prepare for the rude sales girl as well.
