Please can you give an estimate of what it cost to move to Turkey and how long one is expected to stay there before applying for visa in Germany embassy

Kboy2020:

Aafiyah:
You know you could have just ended this whole long pointless text at "finally arrived Munich" and we would have just congratulated you happily.

computaholicGoc:

SpongeBobSP:
Hi bro, so my sponsor said his state in Germany is asking him for health insurance of the person he is sponsoring (me). I don't know what type of health insurance I should get cos I don't even have much money to pay for that now, so is there any you can recommend, and do you know anyone who needed health insurance to get sponsorship letter?

Duisburg:
Exactly! According to the information I've got, for a tourist to get a permanent residency in Turkey, the applicant must apply for resident permit after staying for a maximum of 3 months. A tourist is not permitted to stay in Turkey beyond 3 months without getting a resident permit.

MrAAA2:
No! You MUST be RESIDENT in any country from which you want to apply for a visa. A tourist is a guest.

Duisburg:
I really do not believe that.
People say 6 months but where was it written?
I was in Cyprus for 3 months in 2019 and I relocated to Turkey with my wife o.
So brother, once you get here, get your residence permit and shoot.
All the best.


Omo waiting in Turkey for 6 months na thing o.

I was asked these questions:

1. Name of the school I was admitted to
2. Course of study for Msc.
3. Undergraduate course of study and how it relates to MSc.
4. Location of my school in Germany - City, Region, State.
5. Why did I pick this school.
6. Courses i will be taking in the first year
7. Why Germany over other countries?
8. Do I have family members in Germany?
9. Means of financial support
10. Does my home country have my chosen course of study?.

Those were the questions.

Donnieben1:
Firstly, I will like to say they can travel from turkey on a short term resident permit also.

I live in Turkey with my wife.
We initially left Nigeria to Cyprus for a Msc and after one semester, we left to turkey, we had a short term permit before we started another masters here.

I’ve got loads of friends that have gone to US, Canada and even Germany on a short term permit. The embassy says “you must have a valid resident permit” and not a valid Long term permit.

Secondly, I live in a furnished apartment. It depends on your budget

Thirdly, all of the things he’s said apart from the 2 are very correct.

But I wanna ask bro, did you finish your education here in Turkey?




Coming to turkey to apply for your Germany visa is worth it if you have the strength
Hi Guys. It’s been months I put up this post here and I’ve received mails and requests on the process and how everything went. People have asked about the cost implication and the possibilities. It appears my post wasn't totally informative and will like to update it.

So, I left Nigeria for Turkey on a study visa. Before I left I did some research on the kind of permit I will be getting and if it will be eligible to apply for a German National Visa in Turkey.

In Turkey we have long term permit and short term permit. The long term permit is issued when you are a student, a worker, a refugee or a business owner. The short term permit is issued when you go as a tourist. Going as a tourist to Turkey is the easiest and cheapest option especially if you have a reason for going there. There are factors you must consider when you want to apply for a tourist visa to Turkey - factors like the time of the year(December to April is not a good time because of the winter season). Also, a tourist visa will grant you entry into Turkey and you can even apply for a resident permit that will be valid for one year, though the resident permit you'll be issued will not let you apply to the German embassy for a National visa. Only long term resident permit holders who have lived for six months in Turkey can apply for a National Visa to Germany.

As I said I went as a master's student from Nigeria. Another new law in Turkey which I noticed from most of their schools is that they don't grant Msc admissions for February intake, though I was fortunate to get mine in February 2020. So I went as a student. The university I applied to had a tuition fee of $4,000 for the whole program and you will have to pay $2000 for the first semester and for registration before you are recognised as a student and granted eligibility to apply for your long term resident permit when you get into Turkey.

For living expenses in Turkey, their national currency is the Turkish Lira which is not so stronger than the naira. For accomodation you can have a budget of $150 to be paid monthly. the houses don't come furnished but you can furnish them from the second-hand market. With a budget of $300 you can get a bed and mattress, kitchen items , a sofa and maybe a washing machine. Internet home subscription is unlimited though you will have to pay $10 monthly. Water, electricity and gas bills can go for $30 dollars or slightly lesser based on your usage. For feeding you can live on $200 (it all depends on how you eat). The job market in Turkey is not so good, most foreigners engage in trading - they buy clothes and ship to customers in every part of the world. Some people do tile exports, door exports and others. Ready available jobs are home cleaning jobs with minimum monthly earnings of 1,400 Turkish lira or 1200.

The reason I had to update this post was so people who decide to go through this route have a good understanding of what is involved.

I really hope the embassy situation in Nigeria improves so people don't have to go through this stress.

For those wishing to come to Germany my suggestion is you start learning German anyway you can and also if it's possible the schools you choose should have proximity to the big cities where you can readily find jobs and the language will not be a barrier.

I wish everyone the best.

NwadiNK:
No waive of any course. You will be running the program afresh. It's annoying I know, but thats the negative aspect the HND stuff...

MaryBenn:
"I heard" "they said" Nigerian students abandon studies for work. That they go over there to work and not to study. I.e. They put more concentration on making money than studying.

naijacentric:
Hi guys does anyone know any lady who came into germany with her child as a student? Asking for a friend, i want to know what to expect if a student has a child and wants travel for studies.

abdquadr:
Hello everyone. Please I want to ask if anyone have an idea of how much is the block account for a family of 2? Like husband and wife.

Thanks.

ifechez:
Hello Pals,

I am In the UK for my master's which is finishing soon but still want to travel to Germany for another master's degree.
Please my question is, can I apply for German student's visa from the UK or must I come down to Nigeria and apply?

abdquadr:
Bro, I am not blaming you for whatever you’ve said. I’m just trying to say that it’s really difficult to make friends with Nigerians when you live abroad.

I don’t live in Nigeria, I live in Istanbul and I am talking from experience.

About the tweets, nobody will listen because they are tired of waiting. But the truth is, those tweets might not change anything and if you have to tweet, do that reasonably because we are dealing with embassy o, not someone’s shop abi office. I strongly hope it make the changes we want to effect.

Chanel your anger to Nigerians in power. Especially the foreign ministry. If embassy vex finish, Na big deal o. but we have to be careful.

CooKeed:
No bro. It shouldn’t and I just confirmed from the consulate here in Istanbul. They have been giving every students appointments.
As against what you said here

“If you carry a Nigerian passport I expect any policy affecting
Nigerians to affect you as well, regardless of where you reside”

Kizzygentle:
Did you apply for masters at deggendorf?
