Hello everyone, it’s been a while. God bless you all for keeping this thread alive.
Congratulations @ninered, @Emmiefadz and everyone who have gotten visa.
Am getting set for the visa interview (although it’s still about a month’s time), I have a few questions:
First, question 6 on the visa application form asks about “Intended place of stay in Germany”. I don’t know what to write here since I have not been able to get an accommodation yet.
Second, question 7 says “Do you intend to maintain your permanent residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany? If yes, where?” I think I should tick the yes box and then say Nigeria.
I hope this is in order?
Lastly (for now), question 13a says “What are your means of subsistence?” I guess it is okay to just state that I have funded my blocked account.
I hope funding the blocked account 3-4 weeks before the interview is not a crime?
Question 13b says "Do you have health insurance that covers the Federal Republic of Germany? I don’t know what to write here.
I appreciate your answers, thank you.
NB: Please anyone at TUM? Let's relate |

Dominicumoh: Hey Guys, Here is my transcript. Arrived there around 6:50am while my interview was slated for 8am. Met a long queue, thought I was too punctual, not knowing that all those were also for 8am. About 80% of them were for short term visa so their own interview was held just a bit after the security post. Only long term visa applicants go right inside the embassy. Good enough heard the almighty Mr.Paul was on leave so our files were not even checked before entering inside.
I went straight into the waiting hall around 7:50am and found 16 other waiting applicants but about 15 applicants came later. There are four(4) interviewing rooms and the 4 of them were working,.meaning 4 consular officers attended to us. Each interview took over an hour. At 11:54am, it was my turn. The light on the door of room 4 blinked and it was my turn. It was a man I assume is in his late 30s. Speaks more like he didn’t grow up in Nigeria. I think he has a German background.
Me: Goodmorning Sir VO: Morning. Can I have your passport and your appointment letter? Me: (Gave them to him) VO: Looked at it, scanned it and entered the whole information in the system. Printed it and gave it to me to confirm every information was correctly entered. Also gave me a little form to sign. That form is an agreement that I’ll fund my account before my visa is processed. I signed. VO: Can I have your documents? Originals, then two sets of photocopies. Me: (Gave) VO: Great! If you could arrange your documents this way, why can’t other applicants do same? (Repeated it thrice while going through them). I had to tell him..Thank you for the compliment. VO: Are you married? Me: NO! VO: Sure? Me: Sure VO: Any child, legal or illegal? Me: NO! VO: Sure? Me: Sure! VO: You are going to Technical University of Ingolstadt, right? Me: Yes Sir. VO: Who contacted the school for you? Me: I did myself Sir VO: How did you find the school? Me: Told him VO: Which course? Me: Renewable Energy Systems VO: Why this course? Me: Answered. VO: Summarized all the points I made and typed. Read it out for me to hear. I agreed. VO: So why Germany? Me: Answered VO: Why not study in Nigeria? Me: Currently, no Nigerian University offers this programme. VO: Sure? Me: Sure! VO: Why not UK, US or Canada? Me: Answered. VO: Summerized the 3 points I made and read it for me, then typed it in. VO: So what do you know about Germany? Me: Started Hitting it.…He sensed I was really prepared for that part. When I started mentioning the countries that Germany shares border with He stopped. Said, its ok. VO: Mention the states in Germany. Me: Mentioned. When I mention a state he’ll ask for the capital. So I started with the states I knew their capitals. Once I mentioned 6 of them. He told me to stop. VO: You have really tried! Me: Thank you Sir. VO: So where is the location of Germany? Me: Western Central part of Europe VO: Are you sure? Cos your colleague that just left said its located in the East of Europe Me: I’m sure Sir. It’s in the Western-Central part of Europe. VO: What was your project topic? Me: Told him. He never asked anything in that area. Only typed the topic. VO: Have you ever been denied a German visa? Me: No. VO: How about a schegen Visa? Me: No. VO: Do you have a relative in Germany? Me: No VO: How about in any Schengen Country? Me: Yes. I have a brother in Spain. He left Just last month. VO: What does he do? Me: He is a priest and he has been sent for his studies VO: Is he under a scholarship? Me: Yes VO: How many siblings do you have? Me: said it VO: Whats your position? Me: Told him VO: Who is paying for your trip? Me: My parents VO: What do they do? Me: said it. VO: What is your average family income? Can you give a rough estimate? Me: Yes. Mentioned. VO: What do you know about Ingolstadt? Me: Started talking. He stopped me. VO: How have you been preparing for your stay in Germany? Me: Applied for accommodation, going through the schools brochure, and learning some basic deutsch with the help of some mobile applications VO: So what can you say in German? Me: I can greet and I can introduce myself in German. VO: Okay. Let me hear you introduce yourself in German. Me: My name ist Dominic, Ich comme aus Nigeria, Ich wohne in Ingolstadt. VO: Clapped. You mean you learnt those from your mobile app? Me: Yes Sir….smiling VO: What more can I say than to wish you a safe trip and a great time in Deutschland. Just try and fund your account as soon as possible,.The earlier the better. Me: Thank you Sir. I will. Do have a great day. VO: You too.
All I can say is, be yourself and read as much as you can. This is just what happened right in that room. I pray for success to all those yet to be interviewed too. You’ll come out smiling. Congrats Bro, thanks for sharing |

donkafor: Find a notary public who has an official seal.. Mere rubber stamp is not sufficient.
See attached pdf for guidelines. Go to any notary public around you, they are at law firms. They will sight the original and then notarize the photocopy with an embossed seal. It's #500 per document. |

Help please!!! I just got my opening confirmation of blocked account from Fintiba, so I sent mail to book for appointment immediately, only for me to get an immediate reply. My own mail: The German Consulate, Dear Sir/Madam, I write to book an appointment for student visa interview, I have been admitted at the Technical University of Munich in the graduate program Masters of Science in Nutrition and Biomedicine (winter semester 2017/2018) whose enrollment dealine is 17th November 2017. Attached herewith are the letter of admission, opening confirmation of blocked account and my passport data page. I would like to request you to consider my application and grant me an appointment date. Thank you. Yours Sincerely, Their reply: Dear Sir, Please note that the Consulate General is already completely booked out in September. We are therefore unable to grant you an appointment date as the processing time of a student visa takes up to at least 5 weeks. You are welcome to reapply for the next semester. Further enquiries concerning your current letter of admission cannot be answered. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely yours, Visa Section Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany Lagos 15, Walter Carrington Crescent Victoria Island, Lagos Federal Republic of Nigeria Then I sent this: Dear Sir, I want to request that you kindly consider my application and grant me an appointment date as the enrollment deadline for the program is November 17th which is a later date than the date written on your website ("...Hence only students with enrolment deadline from November 15th, as well as scholarship holders would get appointment dates."  . Thank you for your kind consideration Yours sincerely Please what else should I do? NB: A quick response is highly appreciated, thank you |

dejx: Good day all, I just joined this thread
1. Please I will like to know the exact minimum amount to block. I used to think it is #3M (Euros 8000) but as the money is getting close to 3M and I decided to open block account On Fintiba, am seeing 720Euro for 12months (Euros 8640) that will be over 3.5M in the end. I don't know if it's ok to work out a figure that will amount to Euros 8000 for the 12months.
2. Which one is safer, easier and faster, Fintiba or Duetshe bank.
Thank you |
