Please where did you get this information from?
I thought they do it for all types of family reunion visa?

Blessings777:



Lawyer verification is not done if your spouse has Blue card. I did not pay lawyer verification fees as well.

I applied on 21 August and i got a reply yesterday.

Enimaku:
Hello , please did any august applicant get an appointment date today ?

Has any August Person gotten an Email yet from the Embassy?

Congratulations on ur visa.
Since ur husband was on blue card, i assume the embassy did not ask for your A1 certificate right?

Good morning house. Please does anyone have an email address i can contact the lagos embassy with. On their website they tried very hard not to include am email address there. One can only contact them thru the contact form.

Hello bro, i also applied about same time as you. I applied in August 2021, means ur wife will get appointment shortly before my wife. we fit connect make we de exchange ideas if u dont mind

jbonito:
Hi everyone,
Please I would like to clarify a bugging question. My wife’s interview would likely come up in July/August as we booked July 2021. In the meantime, she did change of name and her current passport expired in April. She already did capturing for a new passport but we were told file had to be sent to Abuja for approval before passport could be printed. Hopefully we can have this resolved in time and please if you have any link for fast tracking such cases, kindly let me know.

My immediate question is in a case where we can’t get the new passport before her interview, could she still attend with the expired passport? Seeing as the German visa is not issued on interview date and she can send in the data page of the new one after and also present it for Visa provision when it’s time.

Any experience from anyone would be appreciated? Anxiety don wan kill person abeg.

Thanks in advance

Except this changes came effect since Nigeria was declared a high risk area, but on my last trip in October, I boarded from Lagos without PCR test result, just my vaccination certificate was checked, I also did not get to fill out passenger locator form.
Travelers are always adviced to check with their airlines when booking

Nigeria is not on the virus mutation or high risk areas.

Richard00000:
thank you very much,and also is vaccination a must or just the negative pcr test will be accepted,thank you very much for your reply,still waiting on them to send all my docs

I am also interested in this vacinnation Information because according to all online sources( RKI, Polizei, and Gesundheitsministerium) the new lasw from 9.11.21 says one must show one of the following: Negative Test, Vacinnation or Recovery Proof in order to be allowed entry. But at the german embassy, even on their website they say entry is allowed only with vacinnation. I even called Bundespolizei who do the border control and they confirmed the same. My wife did visa interview for Schengen today at german embassy lagos and she was given a form to sign that she cant enter without being fully vacinnated, which is actually not true. Has anyone entered germany this december with only negative pcr?

Hello People. My collection date was on 15th October, when we got there i was told that my passport is not ready. As usual, they didnt give adequate information how to find out when it will be ready. Abeg what are your experiences. What time frame have u guys experienced. When is it advisable to go back.

Hardefillar1:

Virtually almost all documents required for visa application except the financial ones.
Also bring a copy of your COVID test result along

Hi Alex, congrats on ur visa. I also got mine and am travelling next week, Whats the maximum duration of the covid test (not more than 48hrs before departure?) did the airline also ask for the test or it was only asked at the border control? Thanks.

Please who has idea about the current travel Regulations for Poland, do we have to be in Quarantine when we arrive ? How long is the Quarantine? I know we have to do Covid Test within 48 hrs of departure but no info about Quarantine

I used a payslip and my sponsor sent a notarized letter of sponsorship

Did u notarize the payslips of just the sponsorship letter was notarized?

Amanee:



You need to do an affidavit of sponsorship and notarise the payslips you're submitting

You mean to Notarize the Payslips as certified photocopies?

The sponsor letter is notarized and original.

Pvtpisful:

Did you notarise your payslip and sponsor letter before submission

No i didnt, i just gave them like that and she didnt accept.

If they need it notarized as certified copies, they shud at least inform people nah. Not to be silent and then go and return someone after they have spent time, effort and money to get there.

Guys abeg just for clarification for those that used employment letter with payslip, does certificate of employment have to be written on the employment letter or the 'certificate of employment' was just their choice of words on the website, one shudnt understand that in its literal sense.

Secondly, many people seem to be using sponsor letter and credit card certificate together. Is that just for extra assurance or they need two methods. Cos i used employment letter and payslip and they didnt collect, instead she said i shud go back and look at the 5 things on the website and choose one.

And as tip, those goinf for masters your insurance shud be at least 1yr and 2 days, if not they wont collect it

Please is the visa fee paid in naira or in Euros?

I have not heare anyone on this forum talk about visa Interview. Isnt that done for poland? Is it just Submission of documents and then wait for Response? On the website it says in some cases an Interview might be needed. Is that really rare?

Creeza:
@flitz99,
Use allianze or axa insurance. They are both certified

Thanks, i used Mansard. I had used them previously.

I thank you all for ur honest contributions and the stories u are sharing. I followed the thread from begining and have been reading very often.

I got an appointment yesterday to come for visa application on tuesday.
I am going for masters Programm. My question is do i need a travel insurance for the whole 2 years or the usual schenghen travel insurance of 3 months. On the Embassy's website they said insurance for the period of stay. But like i know, these travel insursnces from Nigeria are not recognized in EU as health insurance at all. So does it make sense to pay a huge Premium for 2 years when it wont be recognized?

Is there anyone who got visa for masters? How many months insurance did u give them.

Which shud i go for? 2006 corolla type s or a 2004 c class.
I am a 26yrs old guy about to start my housejob. My dad adreed to get me my first car under 2million. The toyota wud be a good choicey but meyn na the c class me i want oh. Even tho we have had both cars in the oast and my dad recommended a toyota but said the choice is mine. I will be using this car for about 2 yrs max. Cant i just get what i want for that time? I dont think the cclas will start developing wahala in such a short time. Am kindda confused
