I currently leave in Germany and I pay 600 euro for my single room with my kitchen and private toilet. The rent includes ... Water WiFi Electricity Cooking Electric Machine Garbage bill. Working full time, you can take 2200 or higher after tax and medical insurance. My transportation ticket of 49 euro monthly is paid by my company. If after rent, feeding and family you could save 1000 euro , I believe you are good. If you still want more, you have to work more hours. More people get far more than that here it depend on ur skull and working hours. |
Chander4411:I have being in UAE for 6 years. |
Niv25:As long as you have being in the country for over 6 months it's fine. |
If you are coming into Germany as a student please master ur modules. I was asked to mention them at the point of entry. I was also asked to login to my student portal. I have a very flexible study . Once in a week and for just one hour. |
Chander4411:My process was done in the UAE and I found out they is great difference between the two countries regarding German student visa processing. Like, in the UAE my original documents were not asked of or checked. I went with less documents. Admission letter Fintiba document First degree certificate Transcript SOP CV International passport Passport photograph. However, the process I got was gaining admission from German University, book appointment with the embassy, fund my fintiba block account and prepare for the interview. Those guys that got the visa from Nigeria will give a better guidelines on requirements and documentation. Cheers. |
It's being a very good and interesting experience for me in germany since I landed on 5th October. On Monday, I paid for my accommodation and went for the registration which I got appointment for 16th of October. Yesterday, I visited my school for enrolment which got not upto 2 minutes. Its being good and stressless. Have it in mind, I don't have anybody in germany but I am navigating very well. |
harkynon:A friend told me that it's easier to find work in Munich than to find house. I was laughing all through the discussion. |
AlphaNugget:House is expensive in Berlin. |
My preparation journey so far. I have booked my ticket through Turkey air for 4th of October 2024. People saying that house or accommodation is very difficult to find in berlin, I think with my experience so far, I will disagree with that. I got to understand that accommodation is so available but expensive for a student. Renting a room for 780 euro will be way high for a student. However, through a very rigorous search online, I got a cultural school in Berlin that offer me accommodation even when I am not a student of the school. A very big room with bathroom, kitchen and fully furnished to be shared by two people, at the cost of 390 per month. The payment will be made on arrival and my check-in will be on weekend because I am coming in on a weekend . The most interesting thing is that I will be checked in on Saturday but the payment will be made on Monday being working day according to their email. |
Good morning guys Ineed student accommodation in berlin with a budget of 350 to 400 euro per month. I need help from you guy. |
My university recommended me to a particular agency for accommodation which I just received email from them about the availability of one big room for 780euro. That is seriously above my budget, I need a serious person who could afford the slitting payment. 390 euro per month. The deposit is same amount too. I need someone who will be moving in first week of October 2024. |

Guys good morning ....just still part of my testimony about my visa journey. After submitting my passport and insurance certificate to the visa consulate office in UAE on 20th of August, I waited for 4-5 days before going for the visa passport collection according to their instructions in the approval email. I was surprised seeing that the visa was stamped on 21th of same August and I was waiting for 5 working days. After the collection, I immediately booked my ticket to Nigeria to spend a month with my family. Currently, I am in Delta state relaxing and planning for germany. My personal observations during my interview or during application is that one should be able to write his SOP so you can defend it when additional interview becomes necessary like my own case. My SOP was 5 pages. I told them everything about me and some circumstances I have seen in life. It interested them to read everything and questions was asked on almost every paragraph. I never allowed them to point out those reasons that will enable them deny the visa, I brought those reasons out in my SOP and addressed them. In all, just be truthful with your application. Please our brothers and sisters in Germany can you help with more information on student accommodation. Some guy said they got to germany before renting, please how will one do that. ** Do you stay at the hotel **Like how much ** Is it faster when you are on ground. **My budget is 400 euro ( what can that get for me) Thanks to you guys. |
BigOG:In UAE. |
Ijeshalomo:Most of us have shared our experience at the embassy or the consulate office. Personally, I have shared my experience on this platform three good times. One when I went for the interview 6th August 2024 , secondly when I received phone interview from the consulate office and the third when my visa was approved. Maybe you are not up to date on the happening on the forum.... |
Oshioegie99:Good day guys. Please how can someone secure student accommodation in Berlin Germany? I have being trying to but it's like I'm having serious headache about it. My budget is 400euro per month but not seeing any around that price. Can I get advice on these regard. |

chambersbaby:Interview on 6th of August Visa approval on15th August. Dubai UAE. |

OkanlawonB:Private university in Berlin |
Hello guys, good morning to you all. Yesterday I received a call from the consulate of germany dubai about my application and some interview was conducted online. VO... How many years have you being in dubai Me: 5years Vo..ok Vo..why going for masters at late 30 Me..gave a reason. Vo.. How are you tuition fees, have u paid? Me.. my contract with the university allows me to pay on a monthly instalment but only pay a one time payment of 1500euro for the semester fees before the admission letter will be issue. Vo.. we have a law for one year payment on tuition fees Me..meaning the law was not communicated to the universities that give such tuition payment plan. Vo..can you make the payment and send me the proof. Me.. I don't have the one time payment of 5500euro but I have a trusted way of instalment payment. Vo. You can actually work to support your self. Me.. one of the top reasons that made me chose Germany was for the block account. Which enables me to focus on my studies. Vo. Do you know that police and other security agencies may monitor to know how many hours u work? Me..like I said, I have being working for over 12 years after my first degree , now is to take a break from work and study.that is why I so much appreciate the block account system of education. Vo. Are you married Me.yes Vo. How many wivies and children Me. One wife and a child Vo.a male or female Me.male Vo. Tell me about your course in first semester Me. I have six modules in first semester. at number 3, he said its perfect. Vo..how much is ur salary Me..Told. Vo. That's it. Me thanks. My question, does it mean that my application is still in their dubai office or it has returned from germany because after the appointment in their office the lady said I have submitted your application for approval. The call was from Dubai not germany. |
Harbey92:I told her that the company I currently work for , will be expanding to West Africa and the company is an international organisation with offices in Saudi Arabia , United Arab Emirates, India and now opening new branch in Africa with head office in Nigeria. With master in international management, I will be more considered for a managerial position within my company and mostly for the West Africa New office. The next block account amount will come from my sibling ( family support) and my personal savings. ( please never mention anything about work) On accommodation, I'm making good arrangements on that at frankfurter Allee 10247 which will be very close to my university. |
Just finished my interview now at german consulate dubai... only three questions was asked. 1)My plan after study. 2) How do you block your next year account. 3) any accommodation arrangement? She put a stamp on my passport and said don't stamp any visa here and the next page it's for visa . |
Hannania:Good morning brother. Please my student visa interview is tomorrow. I have 11208 blocked. Will it fly? I also need ur personal advice please send me message on WhatsApp. 08110896588. |
Ayo1011:I only hear about the category thing here. In UAE, book appointment and wait for like 2 months for ur interview. Really don't know why it's that way in Nigeria or in other places. |
Hannania:Thanks so much. |
Gerald45411:Can somebody reply to this please. |
I have blocked the needed amount and paid for 4 semester student fee. |
Good morning guys!!!!! Please can you guys help me to navigate this, I have visa interview so I feel the VO may ask me how I intend paying my tuition fees given to the fact that my school is private. The contract agreement between me and the school said 452 euro every month, the payment starts 2nd month of study. Before I signed the contract, I emailed the embassy asking them for best way to proof my tuition availability during interview, however, their reply said they don't have a way to proof tuition. That they work with the agreement between me and the school. On the monthly payment, my sibling who is a registered nurse in the USA will be making the payment to the University's account every month. My question is, do he need to write to the embassy on that regard? If yes, what documents do you guys feel can accompany the letter from him. Thanks . |
The system refresh for appointments every Tuesday and Fridays in UAE and in Nigeria its every Monday 11pm.and THURSDAY same time because of time difference between countries. Good luck guys. |
