Congratulation to you, wishing you well in Germany. I have a question as regards your experience at the Murital Airport. Did you show them you BTA? How much was your BTA? You can as well share your experience with us.
I wait for your quick response. Thanks

futurewise11:

You dont need any BTA,but hold a copy of your admission letter and block account.with that you can prove that you are going for studies and all the money to spend is in your deutsche bank....

Thanks @Nimakor, I know in Nigeria they don't but I thought it would be much easier over here cos those are the only requirements with a Police clearance and your blocked account (No waec, birth certificate, interview e.t.c) coupled with the fact that u can get schedule an appointment the next day.

I was at the embassy for the blocked account on Friday and asked about the other documents, all they could say was to contact my schools international center for help with the docs and the response from those ones takes like forever.

Am hoping our Big bosses In Germo can help out.

Thanks

nevilbot: Plz how much does the German student visa cost? Is it free or 13,500 cus no one seems to av mentioned it here

Teflon1: Pls @justwise, @eke , others, i would like to ask a question:

If i have obtained a visa already with a school in Germany & i am later admitted in another school in another city in Germany (which i prefer) & i decide to go for this new school instead of the former one i used in processing my visa...how do i go about it? (NB: I emailed d embassy dis question & their reply was YES it is possible...with no details given).

bissiejoe:
I think what this person meant was the amount of cash permitted to be carried when travelling since there won't be access to the block account in the first few weeks in germany.

futurewise11:

Its very possible.take all your new document to your new school and explain to them.....send an email to your old school of your plan...take both your prefered school and block account details to unlock your block account.you can operate it from any branch.
Go to foriegners office of your prefered school to extend your resident permit and also get your work permit.

it might be cumbersome for u since you are new in the system and you cant even speak the language.moreover why not spend one semester and transfer all your credit later.mind you theres a limited amount of time you can change/transfer school in germany depending on states eg in baden wuttenburg its only 2 times and you have to finish your bsc within 5 years...

Nimakor:
Hmm. Schoen!
However, how much 'setback' (if any) could one incur by moving to another school...say after one semester...e.g the tranfer to a higher semester? How does it work (generally)?

futurewise11:

you could miss your friend,the city and probably your school.....please note: you will have to renew your resident permit any time you change school because its issue against the school you intend to attend.the new school admission letter and your bank statement is the decider.

Please come with Nigeria driving license if possible.

When I was also searching for tickets I found Iberia and royal airmaroc cheaper, but my last experience with royal airmaroc was nothing to write home about, the inflight service was poor, terrible food, and no entertainment on board. So i decided not to fly with them again. Then I checked Iberia, it was good but you are only allowed to check in 23kg baggage and your hand luggage, and that's not enough for me. So if you choose to fly Iberia check and crosscheck properly.
Having said that, the closer your travel date the more expensive the tickets become. Be wise oh!!!! I should have bought my tickets earlier but I wanted to be sure of my visa first before doing so and as a result i payed dearly for it embarassed embarassed.
Anyway, it ended well. cheesy

uchezdedon: Why driving license @ future wise. And Wht abt someone who can't drive for now

beebee5000: Finally in Deutschland, wishing everyone here waiting for visa, admission speed in receiving their good news.
Please let's refrain from insulting each other. You can deploy diplomatic tactics to reply someone who's trying to bully you.
Please everybody drop the hatchet. *********White flag flying************
First time I came to germany via Frankfurt I was impressed with the immigration officials, today via Nürnberg they were still efficient just like last year. NB **********ko si ere ni germo.***********

contact the aok insurance in the city of your school via email.if its possible use it to apply if not print out the reply email from aok and use it to apply.inform them that AOK said its impossible to have it while you are still outside germany.....

Justcul:

For accomodation, attach a copy (coloured) of ur studentenwerk appl form with the email confirmation and include in your application..

Those two should cover you pending when u get to Germany!

If you have an android phone, there are some very good apps (bi-lingual dictionaries) you can get for free on GOOGLE APPS to learn basic phrases and words and if you are online, with the app, you can get any sentence in English translated and vice versa (they have features for voicing or pronouncing words too). Although the ones with premium features could be purchased at little cost (considering its value)
That's how I decode the difficult German words some of my bros dey use on this thread.
Hope you find this helpful.
Good luck!

shuni05: Kudos everyone , I've been a close follower of this thread and I've read every page in detail. Great Job guys.

I have a few questions as regarding my Visa application which I hope you guys can help me out.

As required for a study Visa by the German embassy am applying from (Cape Town), they need me to provide ;

1.Proof of health insurance valid from date of arrival and for the duration of stay in Germany (German Statutory/National or private health insurance).

2.Proof of accommodation (Rental agreement/Student hostel, etc.)

- I will like an advice on which Health insurance I should go for Mawista or AOK and if its possible to take out the insurance from here.
- As regarding the accommodation , I contacted the studentenwerk and already applied but they cannot guarantee availability of accommodation. Is there any other way to take out a rental agreement from here.
See what they told this southafrican to provide, if na nigerian them go ask for millions . Germany , there is God ooooo
Thank you

segadebayo:

Eke40seven:
LOL @ broken German. Very soon we will develop our Nigerian German as a separate language and yours sincerely is sure to be a transitional member of that speaker group.
By the way, you are bad o! So you are even proficient to the extent of knowing the German translations of 'propose' and 'dispose'.

Nedu09: I beg guys if i may ask, any different between Ordinary National Diploma and National Diploma. Because somebody here said u can apply with ND and recently i saw OND not accepted. This not Clear to me. I beg throw light
