Sorry to hear about this,if you were informed and had an idea that you were gonna be given a test,i believe this wouldnt have happened.
This is the more reason we always request that people who had gone earlier for their Interview at least be kind enough to share their experiences so that others can avoid unnecessary mistakes and get themselves also prepared. The goal is for everyone to make it to Deutschland.
Sorry about this. Wish you the best!
Ijemine:
I was unexpectedly given text . They said my score for it is very bad . My interview questions was only why did I choose to study in Germany.
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 10:38pm On Jul 23, 2025
Checklist simply is the required/compulsory documents you must bring along with you when coming for your Interview. They'll collect the Originals and return it Later.
If your appointment is anytime soon,its better you prepare for a written test.
greenparrot:
But I am not seeing the test exam on their checklist requirement. so why are they giving you guys text exam during interview. They should add to checklist for people to seeing it and get prepared...
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 11:17am On Jul 22, 2025
The Testimonial should suffice.
All the best my Guy.
Fwonder123:

Congratulations in advance. Most persons here had used Mawista,but you can still compare which is suitable for you.
Kindly share your Interview Transcript, if you don't mind.
All the best!
ifeomavivine:
Good evening everyone

Please I want ask a question between Dr Walter vs Mawista which is better as i have received an email from the embassy to send in my health.
Also is it only health insurance needed? What about travel insurance as non was mentioned.

Please 🙏 I need answers
Thanks
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 11:13am On Jul 22, 2025
You'll definitely get your Approval Mail.
Just be patient. Kindly share your interview experience,if you don't mind. All the best!
Bopz1805:
Good day everyone, I submitted additional documents at the embassy window a week ago. I haven't heard any response from them yet. Do i keep waiting or send a mail to confirm if the documents have been received?
Thank you.
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 11:10am On Jul 22, 2025
Bro Please don't risk it,its compulsory. Fund the account or get a Sponsorship letter.
All the best!
tmodeltoluene:
For people who has gone for their interview recently,
Is it now compulsory I fund my block account or I have my declaration of sponsorship at hand before I go for my visa interview, or I can still submit my proof of funds later after my interview like they used to do before.
Thanks
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 11:48am On Jul 14, 2025

TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 6:38pm On Jun 25, 2025
Yeah they do. The question varies and it depends on your intended course of study.
I also applied for MBA (General Management)so most likely we'll be asked similar questions. But from what others have shared here,the questions are not that difficult so just chill but just prepare. Hopefully someone that is going for a Masters in Management will go for appointment soon so they can come and drop something for us.
When did you book??
Fwonder123:
I heard that they write short exam during interviews,pls anyone knows the questions they asked... Am going for masters in management
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 6:24pm On Jun 25, 2025
When did you book your appointment. Embassy is in October 12th 2023. If yours is close,I'll advise to be patient. Except you have enough money to spend on getting a Residence Permit for those countries coupled with other expenses (I'm saying this cus of the depreciating nature of naira).
I have a friend who instead of even applying to Germany from Nigeria,applied for a 10 months Masters in Spain last year,has finished his Masters in Spain and applied from there for another Masters in Germany (since his goal was Germany). He will resume by Winter Semester I'm still waiting for the Lagos Consulate since that last year 😂😂. Very crazy stuff!!!
This is not me saying that you shouldn't check through Ghana ,Togo or Benin o,but just do your findings very well. Wish everyone Success as we patiently wait,it's not easy ❤️
Ohraykon:
Which is better, to come through Ghana, togo or benin. I mean for interview dates. I am tired of waiting on the embassy in Nigeria.
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 11:14pm On Jun 18, 2025
No Sir
All appointments have been digitalized and you have to use the Consular Portal.
yezzyshow:
Does the hold system still exist for booking?
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 11:12pm On Jun 18, 2025
If thats what you used in getting an Admission,then they will accept it
Jcboy:
Hello everyone, I used statement of result to apply for school and got an admission with it and now my appointment date is very close. I don't think it will be easy to get my original cert from my school. I'm asking whether they will accept the statement of result on the interview day??. I know someone will reply
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 12:09pm On May 28, 2025
Good Morning. Please someone who has an idea could respond. I booked for an appointment(Student Visa) in Nigeria(Lagos) under the old booking system and I'm on the waiting list. I also went ahead to book with the Accra Embassy still under the old booking system (just to explore other options,since their waiting period was 16 weeks and i have their residence permit).
Last week the Accra Embassy sent me a mail to go register under the new consular portal for student visa a d submit my documents so they prioritise my aplication since I have been waiting for so long.

Now the question is,I'm not in a haste or rush for anything. Whats the Advise, do i go ahead to register and upload my documents on their new portal? Does this have any ripple effect on my booking with the Lagos Embassy? As i do not want to make any silly mistake. Are multiple applications allowed for same category of visa in different countries??

I'll appreciate an input,suggestion and Advise. Thanks so much!
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 11:19am On May 22, 2025
Good Morning,as we all wait for our various appointment dates from the Consulate. I implore everyone to contact his/her school,do a personal research for various scholarship openings. We all know the Embassy is currently prioritising applicants who hold various scholarships from the German government, European supported scholarships or the deutschlandstipendium.


Currently the deutschlandstipendium is open for various schools(though not all universities). Personally, I know of the Ohms Professional School, Technical University of Berlin,Hochschule Worms,Bremen etc and it might be closing anytime soon. Do well to check online,each universities have a contact person. Make contacts,ask questions and send in your applications (you never can tell). Good luck 🤞
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 10:11pm On Apr 24, 2025
Thank you
Hannania:
Well, it depends on the VO. If she got admitted with just a statement of result, they'll accept it.
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 9:35pm On Apr 24, 2025
I understand this. I had similar issue with one of my Educational Certificates. It wasn't ready,but omo i had to disturb them eh...i pressed a little cash. They just had to print out mine alone for me,till now other of my mates have not gotten that certificate, I'm the only person. You can explain to them that it is for Embassy purposes and its urgent. They will do something. This is Nigeria.
Pesky54:
Some persons, their degree certificate isn’t ready yet which is exactly why the question was asked.
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 9:30pm On Apr 24, 2025
To be on the safe side,why not try to get the Bachelors Certificate. The Embassy would have written "...Statement of results and transcripts as alternative to the degree certificate" as it is in the case of "BECE".
I'm not really sure though,but please just try and see if you can have it handy.
@Hannania your wise counsel is needed here.
Thank you
Pesky54:
I need replies on that 👆🏽pls🙏🏽
Can statement of result, along with transcript stand in for degree certificate??
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 9:22pm On Apr 24, 2025
Go through the Embassy checklist again and be sure of the Documents that is required and try to gather them. I think you should request for your Bachelors Certificate.
Jomacokwu:
House, please assist. I have just the statement of result from my uni not the originalcopy, will the embassy accept that with transcript?
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 10:01am On Apr 24, 2025
Did you book appointment using the old portal or the new one?? If it was the old portal and you're sure the school gave you that Scholarship,you would have cancelled the appointment on the old portal and quickly book on the new one. I'm 100% sure you would have gotten a date for an appointment. DAAD scholars,Deutschlandstipendum and PTDF scholarship holders or any German Government or European supported Scholarship are the only ones qualified for Category A (for now) on the new portal. Get in touch with the contact person in your school for the Deutschlandstipendum,they might work out something for you again(just my thoughts)
Jomacokwu:
I actually qualified for this but couldn't resume because of visa and the school cancelled my admission and I never got the scholarship.
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 2:15am On Apr 24, 2025
Yes it does
Start looking for one. You may need to do a deep search or contact your school to ask if they have openings for Deutschlandstipendum.
Jomacokwu:
Also does the Deutschlandstipendium qualify one for cat A?
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 2:13am On Apr 24, 2025
Which School did you apply to??
Jomacokwu:
Please can those who have gone for the interview share the aptitude test questions. I applied to study international relations and global politics. Please anyone in this field that have done their interview should Please share.
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 2:36pm On Apr 23, 2025
75 Euro(its on the Embassy checklist). Take note that the 75 Euro is calculated according to the exchange rate of your interview day. So do well to have enough funds (physical cash and in your account also,incase you need to use the POS)
sussybae:
how much?
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 2:33pm On Apr 23, 2025
Contact Dr. Walters.
Freebys:
Same please
I really need assistance on this
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 2:33pm On Apr 23, 2025
Contact Dr. Walters, Almost everyone uses that.
grandor:
Pls how do I go about getting health insurance
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 12:09am On Apr 17, 2025
Yeah you should. Those are the only two available options for now that the Embassy approves of. But let your blocked account service provider know its for Tuition and not upkeep so you can have access to it anytime.
fortunead:
Please I have another question
Since I’m using a sponsorship letter, is it still possible to put the one year tuition fee into a blocked account?
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 6:06pm On Apr 16, 2025
Yeah that one is different,that one is for your monthly upkeep which totals the amount 11,904 Euro.
You can open another account depending on your service provider(e.g Expatrio) and inform them that its for School fees. Then when you get to Germany you can remove the money at once,the monthly restriction does not apply to that account. Hope this helps.
fortunead:
Thanks dear
But I thought using a blocked account means there’s a particular amount you take out every month, or does it not apply to blocking of tuition fee?
Please help me understand better
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 2:26pm On Apr 16, 2025
Please let me advise you. On that portal,it clearly states 1year Tuition. You can put it in a blocked account as well and print out the confirmation/statement to show you have that money blocked already.
You see the issue of Admission letter,Blocked Account and that Enrollment, 1 year tuition (for those going to private schools), the Embassy is serious on it now and you wouldn't wana risk,i guess you've waited too long for this opportunity.
Just try to do what ever it takes to provide them that 1year receipt or a separate blocked statement for your fees.

Goodluck!!!
fortunead:
Thanks dear
How about using the option of statement of account?
Is that still possible to use?
Please anyone that has an idea about this or has been in this situation in the past should please answer me
Thanks a lot
TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by HudsonTaylor: 2:20pm On Apr 16, 2025
Lols @ Freebys Everyone is shocked as well. I hope that info that dropped on Friday is Legit because this matter is too serious for one to be trying to pull a stunt. Lets hope they'll do something about it because Omo we no understand again o
Freebys:
How about when they were going in line and your date was so close then all of a sudden they skipped your date to very later date
