I intend applying for Msc in a German university, Pls house is it a most am proficient in speaking German, Is that one of the criteria to obtain a study permit?

ogbeche77:


Thanks alot for the prompt reply,  So do u suggest I learn German here in Nigeria b4 applying? And pls are u in Germany? U seem 2 have alot of knowledge about there embassy,  Hope u would not mind me mailing u,  Still av alot to ask,  Pls send me a blank mail,  My email is ogbeche77@yahoo.com

La Parisienne:

Yes start learning the language in Nigeria if you can. It will help you pick up faster when you get to Germany and it will also prove your seriousness. My BF is German but I don't live in Germany, I only visit. I don't know much about their Embassy in Nigeria cos I've never been there.

I hope you are aware that you have to open an account with a German bank and deposit 8000 euros before you will be given visa. This money is for your initial upkeep.

When you are choosing a school, stick to the west/south.

For more info about the German Embassy and their requirements, go to http://www.abuja.diplo.de/Vertretung/abuja/en/04/Visa__requirements/Long__Term/Document__LongTerm__Seite.html

Sorry I can't send you a private mail now. Go thru the links I provided. If you still want to proceed and you have dificulties with translation or anything, let me know.

Good luck

Please I will like to attend a conference in Munich Germany this year and the organizers only sent me a letter of invitation which is not registered with any Germany local authorities, what are the chances of this type of invitation letter.
Note:
This company is not based in Germany, they are only using there as a venue for this year conference. I actually used the same type of invitation letter for applying for a UK visa last year and this enabled me to attend last year's conference in London.

I will appreciate your prompt responses and thanks

Thanks for the info, Have been searching for sch from the previous link u gave me, It wad quite helpfull, Some don't even require Toefl or German proficiency as a pre requisite for admission, Though they all have different requirements.But admission for Msc would not start in most sch until March 2012, Is there a limit to the Num of uni I can apply to? And pls what are the advantages of sticking to d uni in the south and West?

La Parisienne:


You can apply to as much schools as you want, there's no limit. But logically, the more schools you apply to, the greater your chances of being admitted.

West/south Germany is generally richer, more open to foreigners and has a higher employment rate than the east. Also, there are a few neo-Nazis in the east

Germany is the biggest economy and the most industrialized country in Europe. It's a good place to be if you plan your life properly.

ogbeche77:

Ok,  I already searched most of d schools and I discovered application process wouldn't start until May - June 2012, Guess I av 2 chill till then, 
But I keep wondering what happens to the €8k if one is nt granted visa

La Parisienne:

If you have all the required documents and you've paid the 8k, you'll most likely get your visa. Start learning Deutsch now to enhance your chances. Once you are admitted, gather enough facts about the school, your intended course of study, the city you are going to and the country cos you might be asked. Do more research on likely interview quetions.

Make sure you are consistent and sincere with all the info you give out. Believe in yourself and have some faith.

You'll definitely get your money back if your visa application is denied.

You can try other countries too, to be on the safe side.

suxes2006:


About the 8k thingy, someone once said here on this thread that you
can use a sponsorship letter from someone in Germany. It still works
fine provided there is enough evidence presented linking you to the person

SHALOM
