Mr Ifwal is that really true all students would be needed in Germany latest Dec, I applied for computer science masters at Bergakemie frieberg university and enrollment deadline is 12 oct 2020 for winter. So do u mean there would be an automatic extension because I believe the embassy would start this August, because intl flight has been planned to resume this August.

Kizzygentle:
Should I tell you guys one sweet truth.
This pandemic will favour all students given admission for winter semester because there would be no barriers for giving out AD to both catA and B provided you have your extension letter. There is automatic extension of enrolment till march which is enough time to give all students AD. If your school dosent provide this document you can write to them. You all can as well do the logic. I see this as a win win and God go help us all.

clintonsparkz:
Guys the German embassy said they will resume when international flights resumes, now Nigeria has extended the ban to October 15, with this I can tell u that winter application will end, what a country we have. i think we need to act, this is painful.

Nania:
If true then that's a good since. Better to know they are operational than been entirely closed. They will soon see the need to get the student section rolling.

Chukskala022:
Info I got today is that they are open and paulinus resumed work today as well..

I asked how sure he is about the info, he said 100% that people came for Block account and other things..

Let's continue praying and be hopeful

Ykhgu1:
I sincerely don't think anyone is getting Visa or interviewed. But it doesn't cost a thing I will call someone in Ghna to verify this Ghana News..

evergreen9:
Maybe we need to get the attention of the Nigerian envoy to Germany. That might be the next viable option

ogagaejay:
My naija people.
I know you all are patiently waiting for appointment. While you are waiting, take a closer look at German laws for students coming to Germany with a scholarship.
Please be aware so you dont start making noise on social media when this happens to you.
In the attached file is a law which prevents
extension of resident permit for [/b]work purpose if you [b]studied in Germany on a scholarship, and the condition of the scholarship is that you must return to your home country after your study

Baba .
They should tell us to stop applying if they don’t want us in their country ..
I have 2 admission letters from last summer application plus 3 admission letters for this winter .
No one want their efforts (time and money) wasted ..
Why apply and make money for uniassist or DHL if they won’t give us A D .

At least if you can't post you should be able to retweet and like.

I just hope they will just make an exception for Students sincerely.

I hope and pray.

englishgirl55:

Yes it is stories. I hope whether it's the new or old passport we have this process favour us.

Ope4Christ:


It is the new Standardized Electronic Passport issued by Nigerian Immigration launched in 2007. But the normal passport and E-passport continued to be issued simultaneously until 2019 when General Muhammadu Buhari fully launched the 10-years and 5-years E-passports. Most Nigerians possess the normal passport and not the E-passports.

The newly launched E-passport is now being required by German embassy from applicants going to Germany this Winter (August to October).

The first picture shows the E-passports while second picture shows the normal passport.

GeneviveNnadi:

Hello @Ifwal. This is @UmAnas. The other phone I'm signed in on - as UmAnas - has been down for weeks.
How have you been? Fasting and praying for the Embassy to open its doors too ba?�

emmax27:

In other words we need to have at least 8k £ plus in a account overseas to be considered. Hmm not bad since you don't have to pay any tuition fee although that amount is not cheap either. But the procedures seems a bit complex even after you've gotten the 8k£ ready

Stiflersammy:
Germany are already easing entry restriction and hopefully on June 4 we hear something positive.

legit90:


Oh okay... Thanks boss

If I looked for schools that offer German in Germany and got admitted, please what are the chances of getting a visa. I'm thinking of studying the language for like 6months in Germany and then apply for the nursing before my visa will expire

Eke40seven:
It has been a while I visited this German visa section. Started from one, I cannot believe that it is part 8 already. Well, feel free to ask me anything about Germany, mention or quote me, and I will be available to answer to the best of my knowledge.

Sharonte:
The following steps will help newbies (Thanks to CassieV for the tips)


Most of the schools in Germany are tuition free even for international students, you only get to pay a certain amount as semester fees say between 100-400 euros and most times the semester fee comes with a semester ticket to aid in transportation in your city or town.
However, before you're granted a student visa, you have to prove that you can take care of your living expenses with one of the following means ;
1. Block account: The estimated living expenses for a student in a month is 720euros, when you multiply that by 12 months, you get 8640euros. This is the amount you're required to block in an already opened account with either Deutsch bank, Fintiba or Xpatrio. It is called a block account because you will not be able to withdraw everything at once, only 720euros will be released to you every month.
2. Sponsorship letter: If you have a relative living and working legally in Germany, they can get you this letter. They'll have to visit the alien office in their city and will be required to provide some documents and pay a certain fee. The letter will be sent to you when they receive it so that you can go with it for your visa interview.
3. Scholarship: This is usually the best if you have the scholarship, your visa will be granted in under 2 weeks after interview. So try and look for scholarships you can apply to.

Now that you understand the financial situation, let's go into the application process.
To search for schools, click on this link
https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/?p=l&q=&fos=0&lang[]=2&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list
filter your search to make it easier, there are English taught courses there.
Generally, the very important documents needed to apply to schools in Germany are;
1. Transcript
2. English Proficiency
3. School Certificates (Degree, Waec, etc)
However, depending on the school, some other documents needed are as follows.
4. Curriculum Vitae
5. Motivation letter
6. Reference letters
7. GRE test
8. Etcetera.. Visit your prospective school website and find out the documents they need from you.
Note: You don't apply with your original documents, you have to make photocopies of them and Certify them in High court or a Notary public. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the German Embassy too. You'll have to book appointment for that.
For those planning to go for a Bachelors course, you need a 100level transcript from a university to apply for a BSc program in germany. WAEC alone will not be enough and No, OND will not do, you need a HND.

For the application proper, it is always important to go through the website of the schools you want to apply to, you'll get a lot of information form there concerning how to apply. Some schools do only online applications, some requires that you send your application documents to them by post after applying online, some you send your documents as pdf to their email address and then you get the uni assist crew.
Like I said earlier, it is important to go visit and read the websites.

When you get your admission letter, open a block account immediately(that is if you don't already have a sponsorship letter) and as soon as you get your account details, send an email to the embassy requesting for a visa interview date.
You need these to get an interview date:
1. Admission letter
2. Block account/sponsorship letter/scholarship letter
3. International passport data page(scanned)
Then your Full name and Resident address.

Prepare for your interview
Go for your interview

fatsonm:
Good evening house. I have question can I get a scholarship to support my studies in germany. If yes, what are the scholarships and how xan I access them?

emmanuelsea:
Hello, please is it true that once you apply to a school directly, you are not suppose to apply through scholarship.

And what if someone actually apply directly and through scholarship, will the person be disqualified for double application?

Please anyone with the answer should help me answer this question. Thanks in advance

ohswagz:
Pls has anybody Used D Deutsch Stipendum as proof of Scholarship to get Visa?...
