Hey guys, not sure if this has been asked before, I have combed through the threads and couldn't see any similar query.

For student visa application, after paying IHS and visa fees, can i remove the POF or it has to remain until the visa comes out?

Please how long did it take to get a biometric appointment in Abuja?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to appply to study medicine in germany, i'm currently a 200lvl student in a public school in Nigeria studying Human Anatomy, but the on going strike is frustrating my efforts, I've watched a lot of youtube vidoes concerning the application process into german universites and i've also gone on www.daad.de but i'm still really confused about the process, please i need a lot of help going through with the process.

Omooo you must be really proficient in German ooo, and German is like kinda tough to learn so it requires significant investment in time and money. You are better off studying courses like that in the UK, seeing as there is currently even a high demand for health care professionals, you should be able to get right in. The only problem with UK is the ultra high cost of studying and living expenses. If you can invest sizeable time into studying German, then Germany is great, you most likely will take a foundation class to familiarise yourself with the language before starting the degree itself.

The application process itself is nothing hard, you can totally do it yourself without any agent or so, most universities use uni assist so all you have to do is upload all your documents there including language proficiency certificates and it will be sent directly to your school. Others require that your documents are validated by uni assist so they give you what is called VPD which you will submit to the school. Either ways, the first hurdle you really need to cross is the language barrier.

And please must my sponsor be my relative?

can my Boss a German working in Germany sponsor me?

It can anybody, so far they fill the right forms and you know about them to a reasonable extent. It's important you know his family too, you might be required to answer some very funny questions at the embassy, e.g. number of children, their names, place of work, city he lives, and other details

I have read about this particular issue somewhere along in the thread, I think Part 2/3, you would find very valuable information there about things like this. Try to navigate there, a lot of people had similar issues and ask such questions, you are sure to find a sizeable repository of knowledge and instructions there.

Hello everyone, so I have gone through the thread and gained a lot of information thanks to everyone hat has contributed and asked questions, you really made it easy for people like us.

I have a somewhat different question and it's related to proof of funds, I intend taking a loan from a microfinance bank to fund my blocked account. I am a data engineer, data scientist and data analyst and have taken up data related roles in Nigeria.

I would have to be servicing the loan every month, my question is, people presently in German how easy is it to get a job especially in tech related sectors specifically in Berlin? Do you personally think based on your experience so far in Germany that I can service such a loan monthly? What is the cost of living like?

I would appreciate anyone's sincere input.

And yes, I am very hardworking lol

Hello everyone, please if you are a Nigerian studying in Germany, I would love to connect with you. It's always tough surviving in a new environment alone. Please chat me up so we can connect abeg ������

Exactly my plan.
Because if you go to a new country, you also start from scratch, maybe another masters etc and your permanent residence is not assured unless you go to Canada which is more flexible.

For me, the essence of leaving Nigeria is to have a permanent residence of a country with a working system where I can make money and have rest of mind.

So even if you don't like Germany, get your papers and then leave for the country you like instead of going there to start afresh.
Well everyone has their own plan

Can we link up? Probably on WhatsApp, my number is +2347062037265

I am also interested in moving to Canada . After living here for 1 year , I have a mixed feeling about Germany . I could give it time but anybody who is Germany knows that regardless of amount of years you stay here the majority find the language and the environment unbearable . I say this because I talk to almost all students from Africa and India and Pakistan . Most have the same feeling ....a lot of complaining , lol

That’s one thing I understood really , language is key . It’s not just a barrier for your work or social life but it’s your whole sense of being ,the way you think .
I personally like English (not a native speaker , not Nigerian too ) , it’s easy for me. There is no way I will build that level of thinking in German in the near future , I just don’t see it . Sure you can learn and communicate average enough to work and live but like I said language is more than a tool of convenience.
Knowing German for me is like learning Java for instance , sure you might work on it . One ,do u feel confident enough ?
Two,does it feel like a natural language or a programming language ? Lol
Don’t get me wrong I will still finish my studies , still learn the language , still look for Praktikum but now I have decided to look for any other options .
With that being said I am open to suggestions.
I know there is Canada study route , express entry , PNP .
Peace ✌️
I’m open to arguments and thoughts

Why not endure long enough to get your residency permit, and even maybe your citizenship, afterwards moving to other European countries will be very much easier eventually

Wow great thread guys however I have a question please, which universities in Germany are very good and located in low cost cities where one cab work while studying? And secondly how easy is it to get a part time job while studying? Thank you guys

Wow never knew a forum like this existed. Please what is the probability of getting a job once i start schooling in Australia? University of Queensland precisely
