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.



Call any insurance company in Nigerua and you will get it done immediately.

Nairaland has become a useless platform. Even scams are now being posted on its frontpage.
He first wrote that he got the job on LinkedIn, now he is posting a completely different site as the source of the job.
If the desperate mugus like they should contact him, by the time he swindles them off all their savings they learn by force.

In as much as it sounds to be good news. Please do thorough research about the company to be rest assured that it is genuine. Don't just be carried away and rush there since you are having a reservation. I am not saying this to create fear in your heart, but there are many fake companies out there looking for human organs, (kidneys).
Above all, pray about it and remember to tell your family and friends where you are going. If possible, let the closest person to you know the address of this company in Germany.

Really, your company is paying for your flight and accommodation but could not pay for your health insurance. You guys should stop posting all this tells by moonlight rubbish because some people here are European and American citizens for decades already. What makes you think we are all dumb? Do you speak German in the first place? You must be a nuclear scientist for Germans to give you visa to come work for them.

What you need is a German health insurance and not the usual travel insurance we get from Nigeria. You can not subscribe for German health insurance until you land in Germany, I will advise you discuss this with your employer/Hr for better understanding. Germany is a cool country and the people are great.
Re: Just Got My Visa To Travel To Germany For Work, I Am Having Cold Feet. by onyi2k(m): 12:36pm On Apr 29, 2021
2k euro remotely but they wan carry me come. So its 4600 eur before tax now which will amount to 2779 after tax.



JJSAYO:
Hello,
Are you sure you can survive with Euro 2000? Please check cost of living before moving. Things are very expensive there as compared to Naija. If the job is remote why can't you stay here and support? However, if you want to leverage on that so as to get a better offer no problem. Just be aware that there's language barrier. You need to learn their language.
Warm Regards

It will be very hard to get your wife to join you in Germany (from my experience). The travel insurance thingy, try https://safetywing.com/ I used them as well. You will also need German health insurance already issued (your company should have done this with your labor market approval) I didn't go eventually because the German company did me a strong thing before I could even join them in Germany. But still, God dey. If your city is Munich or Hamburg and your net pay isn't above €4,000 please turn it down. The Standard of living in those two cities is mad. Congratulations man

If it isn't Hamburg or Munich, you should be fine, you will be like someone earning 600-700k net monthly here in Nigeria plus a system that works but limited internet privileges.

Thing is, you're not having cold feet but rather a COLD DARK heart. Here are the following errors you made in your story:

1. You got a visa in Qatar. A country you claim to be living in for 2 years yet, you want to get a health insurance in Nigeria? There aren't any in Qatar? How can any sane HR hire someone with this level of reasoning?

2. A question requires a question mark by the way. And the rest? Good lord

3. It is impossible to get an EU type visa without health insurance. So, how did you get a visa without one? Think hard and come up with a good lie for this one

4. "The German company is paying for my flight and accommodation for 2 weeks but I am still having cold feet. The process is cumbersome". So, which is it? I mean, you already got the visa and they're paying for your accommodation and flight. What is cumbersome about that?

5. A company that pays your accommodation and flight ticket cannot afford to get you health insurance? Really?

6. Next time, don't claim to be in the IT field as you're seriously lacking in intelligence. To get a work visa you need to have verifiable references and yes they'll check. Also, you need to have a degree in the field of study related to the job offer. Also, with years of verifiable experience.

7. Creating multiple fake accounts with fake replies of joy and interest to the subject at hand is an old classic move. It rarely works. Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe people are really that desperate and ignorant

Get a life. Get a job. I mean, a real job!

The health insurance is the easiest thing. Talk to the HR of the new firm, they'll help you out. And your company pays for your health insurance.
Re: Just Got My Visa To Travel To Germany For Work, I Am Having Cold Feet. by TheCounsellor(m): 1:27pm On Apr 29, 2021
@onyi2k:
After living in Qatar for 2 years the thoughts of starting all over can cause cold feet. I understand, but like you mentioned your family can't join you there but Germany offers that opportunity. You can even be given a permanent residence after living for 5 years. If your net is around 2k monthly I'll advise you take it. Even if you come and after one year you don't like the experience you can return to Qatar with German experience.

I study in Germany. Since you'll be working remotely, you should consider staying in a cheaper but very nice city like Bonn in the NRW state. Rent is relatively cheap and it's quite international being the former capital of old Western Germany. It's also home to the UN, University of Bonn and alot of international organisations. Learning German is good but in Bonn almost every German understands and speaks English so you don't have to worry. I bet you you might not even work upto a year before being snatched-up by another company. Germany is in dire need of IT specialists.

For your health insurance you can google MAWISTA. It's a private insurance company that provides both health and travel insurance; it is very reliable and I recommend them because I have used them.
Lastly, if you decide to live in Bonn, I can assist you to settle fast: city registration (Anmeldum), getting a bank account , prospecting permanent accommodation etc. You can email if you wish. - ( kingsleyosuagwu25@gmail.com)
