Pls, This question is for a friend who's in Ghana. If your visa application gets rejected on the grounds of you being unable to meet the academic requirements and funding even after you have a blocked account and a sponsor, what are the processes to appeal?

MrAAA2:
Reading the FAQs on the Ghana Embassy website will help or the COVID-19 Regulations as in every other countries.

]Lagos to ghana, Book a flight (AWA, Air Peace) do not go through the land as land borders are closed and no genuine stamped will be issued at the borders Budget 120k and above for a one-way ticket to ghana
convid test in Lagos 50k( i might be wrong)
Convid tet upon Arrival in Kotoka Gh is 50 dollars they only take dollars, once your result is out you will be allowed to enter ghana and stamped will be issued, Change money into cedis and proceed to get a small place to stay for the 14-15 days.
Accra's main hub is kinda expensive hotels range from 150 cedis and above decent i mean, but if you want a pocket-friendly one i can be of assistance.
feeding (banku<> fufu<> wanche<> jollof rice) are food you can eat as low as 5 cedis, a day to your trip go for another test At terminal 2 arrivals a company name NMI and it is 250cedis to get this done, you will get your result within 24 hrs, please note that result is valid for 72 hours.
Tourist visa book a return ticket via www.wakanow.com they are very easy to navigate, a resident One way
prices of tickets I can not say as they vary to each other.

any other thing please mention me



The Ghana route is so expensive though I haven't bought ticket yet, is better I wait for some weeks before knowing what next.

Elninoarmando:
I dey here nwanne,anything for your guy?
I think I have to do this to calm the tension here down.
Yes,the German consulate do give dates to category B applicants.
I got date the last time.The interview mail came on 15th February,2021 and my interview was to hold on 12th March,2021.If you doubt me,i will show you the mail.
Before you criticise or judge me on why i didn't share it here,please,hear my story.
I really wanted to share it here but i wanted to have my sponsorship letter before i'd do that.
For the past one month and some weeks,i've been devasted emotionally and psychologically because at the dying minutes my sponsor disappointed me,therefore my silence here.
I had to cancel my appointment to give room for others who are on the queue.
You know how hard it's to get an appointment under category B.I've been on this journey since May 2019.After series of admission rejections and now this.
Look at how it works-if you want to get a date under category B,book "earliest" of early and shift your start date far to April/October.
I saw a post of a guy who booked on 2nd April under category B and used June as start date.
Yes,he booked early,but,his start date might cost him an appointment date.This means the mail for his interview date should should be received in the same April and his interview should be in May.
Based on experience and testimonies of successful category B applicants,mails for exact interview dates drop around January/February for summer semester and July/August for winter semester.
The German Consulate no dey do ojoro.It's first come first serve.Where I want them to improve is on increasing category B quota as i also advocated for more appointment dates for category B applicants on this platform some weeks back.
Have patience,don't rush to cancel your appointment.
If you booked early and you were not given admission,please cancel,don't be wicked.If the appointment land wetin u go carry am do?
Then,if you got date and couldn't honour it due to one thing or the other,please cancel too,just like i did.Don't be cruel,because many category B applicants are on the waiting list.
I hope this helps to settle unnecessary arguments.
Using other legal routes for visa is also okay,as long as you can afford it.
This time around,by God's grace i'd upload the appointment date mail once it lands.
Don't give up.
I wish you all the best.
See you in Germany.

Pls can you share the link for the updated checklist, I’ve been looking for it on the website but can’t find it.

Nzesinachi1:
Everybody should getat. You people will just be speaking Grammer. No solutions!

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.

Itspachay:
A friend of mine just booked an appointment for CAT A and in less than 20 minutes he got an appointment date. But in the mail, it's written than both the first-class and 2nd class upper graduates can apply for CAT A meanwhile on the website, only first-class is written on the website.

CooKeed:
Yes

fancyto:
Was it a resident permit or visiting visa you used to apply.
Because the way the whole thing is going one isn't sure of getting a german visa even next year

MrAAA2:
I handed over my passport, health insurance (Mawista) to the Germany embassy today here in Dubai and would be ready for collection on Monday morning.
I first sent an email for appointment on Sept 11, got a reply Sept 13 with appointment for Oct 7, and a decision mail Nov 3.
The problem is not our nationality but our Nigeria as a place!
It's sad and I pray you get the visa before scheduled exams for Winter 2020. A mate from Vietnam also got approval yesterday after applying in Sept.

Keep hopes alive!

NB: Any question you are answering just get ready to be hit back with questions from your answers.

fancyto:
You have Google, some questions are incessant.
Minimum wages in Canada and Australia are way higher.
Easier to immigrate and integrate. Ofcourse they speak English there.
Germany is also a developed country though, but more opportunities in the countries aforementioned.
Most of us choose Germany because free tuition and generally it's quite cheaper than having to go to other developed countries.

keleto:
Pls which country can someone really travel to with 3 million nairs

charliesyndrom:
If not that I'm depending on sponsorship letter I would have opted for Norway. I think they also do BA like Germany.

obibanks:
GBAM!!! This is just the plain fact. I remember when I heard about the movement in late 2018, my head wanted to scatter. A whole EU number 1 NATION, I never knew such high quality opportunity was possible with such relative cheap cost. I no waste time to run the process last year, every step I took was learnt from this thread. I did get my AM but just that I wasn't able to gather enough funds for my BA & my SL link wasn't strong.

fancyto:
As you guys are applying for admission and waiting for appointment date that seems like a never to come adventure.
My advice for you guys is to consider applying to other European country, I learnt Germany is tightening their border and we don't know how long this would last.
Because the truth is time is going.
This year is already gone and we don't know how next year would be! yet the embassy remain quiet about this matter.

smokers:
Has anyone been given date from category B

olaadesie:
Good morning my people, please I have a question for a friend. He has admission already with a Nigerian address can he apply with his ghana passport? If yes, what's the procedure? Thank you

NomzyJust:
You have to pay tuition deposit or did'nt your admission letter say so?

Check page 1 of this thread. Everything you need to know is there.

SOLARPOWER1:
Stop wasting your time, the embassy will not give you date again for winter start of studies... What smart people have done since October 1st is to book again with a summer start date like mif or end of April....Defer your admission to summer or start applying for summer admission now so that you will be ready when the AD comes
