The application form can be filled digitally or with a pen(digital is the neater option); the section to sign on the application form is always there. Check this properly.

The declaration form is different from the application form and also needs to be signed and dated.

Ezesolomon411:

pineapplejuice:

Your documents is what will give the university an assurance to admit you.
Provide all the requirements necessary for admissions applications and you stand a chance.
No one can give you 💯 percent assurance.

Fwonder123:
Please guys , do anybody knows any public Germany schools I can apply for masters dis winter,c that give admission easily with 100percent assurance

Copies in black and white are fine. I took those along also.
The forms should be printed out then signed and dated.

Ezesolomon411:
Please should the photocopies be black and white ? Pls someone should ans me .. and how will the visa application form be signed ?

What you booked for was wrong.
Booking through the study route is now done on the consulars portal.
https://digital.diplo.de/visa

Layomi1:
Yes I did it online and I guess I booked for an already passed time

The consulars portal is actually on the German embassy’s website

bmraji:
Hi Everyone, I noticed there isn't any tab to book appointment for students on germany embassy website. I can see for visit, ausbildung et al. Is there any reason for this or a new site for booking appointment on for students.

It is not. Kindly follow the embassy’s checklist.

Ezesolomon411:
Pls is neco scratch card also needed in the embassy ?

Do your research. You’ve picked out the school and course; so finish it by looking up the requirements for bsc admissions applications.

To prove your English proficiency, get an English Proficiency Letter from your polytechnic which states your studies were done fully in English.

Ishola2002:
Good morning everyone. I'm new to this page. Pls I want to make an enquiry as to what are the required documents i need to apply for a Bachelor's degree in Artificial intelligence at Deggendor Institute of Technology. I am an HND holder. Also how do I prove my English Language proficiency?

You’re welcome.
Waiting for your goodnews.

adeiza0406:
thanks so much, i did this.
hopefully i’ll get my visa before this week ends. 🤞🏾

If you can get the official insurance document from Tk not that preliminary document then you’re good to use TK. The preliminary document doesn’t have the required information the embassy needs that’s why it’s always rejected.

If not, you can use mawista; you’ll get your official insurance documents in a few hours or the next day. Also note the instructions on the AM such as the required months the incoming insurance should last for.

adeiza0406:
I did TK insurance and they gave me a free Dr Walter Incoming insurance.
I submitted the two certificates

You did a travel insurance of 3 months that’s why it was rejected. Your approval mail states an insurance of 6 months or over.
Most people submit the insurance used for their school enrollment (public or private).
So get any of the above and submit to the embassy.

adeiza0406:
Hi everyone, please I need help ASAP.
the embassy rejected my dr walter insurance i got from Expatrio. They said its for Schengen visa and I should get the correct incoming insurance. Please which insurance can I use??

Mostly on Fridays, yes.
But they can surprisingly give on other days too if they so wish.

Freebys:
Wow, they should not slow it down too much, I applied July 30th
Also do they only give out dates on fridays

Apply for a visa appointment on the consulars website. It takes roughly 20 months to be attended to

Abassi14:
Good day every one, I just got an admission letter from a school in Germany, I can some put me through about the appointment in Germany embassy.

If you’re rejected by the embassy, your rejection letter will be used to pull the funds out from the blocked account provider.

Fintiba is good but has proof of documentation issues when not done well.
Expatrio is the fastest I’ve seen, some get their blocking confirmation in hours after payment.

julietlulu:
Gooday, everyone. I wanted to ask if I block my account and if for any reason I don’t make it to Germany this year or I need my money back if I couldn’t get the visa, can I get my money back? Or the money will be trapped in Germany?

Secondly, Is Fintiba the fastest to use and can the money reflect in 7 days? I need a fast means to reflect in 7 days.


Thank you so much for always helping me here. God bless you all.

Yes. They stopped at 14th July 2023 from all indications. They’ve slowed down the pace now because of the increase in rescheduling of interview dates.

People who booked 17th July 2023 and 22nd July 2023 didn’t receive today.

pineapplejuice:
Any appointment dates given today?

You’re welcome.
Maybe you have the old link or something. The consulars portal is working fine. Check it out below.

https://digital.diplo.de/studium

jayjie:
Thank you very much for the info!
How about the link to apply for the student visa?
The portal I have is currently showing server busy for weeks now

Last we heard/saw was July 1st 2023

pineapplejuice:
what date in July are they on now?

This delay most times is due to the fact that some resumption dates are in the winter 2025 semester (October).

Reatexr:
Mine is more than 9 weeks and still haven’t heard from them. Do you have a feedback now?

1. Over a year (currently 20 months, because the embassy is in July 2023)

2. https://nigeria.diplo.de/ng-en/2691114-2691114

jayjie:
Greetings everyone, I’m new here and would like to get a few information.
1. How long does it take before being granted an interview after application for a German student visa? (MSc applicant)
2. What are some of the updated requirements?

I’m going for a masters programme.
The written tests were based on the masters course of study i am going for.

HudsonTaylor:
Please i guess you're going for a Masters Program. The written test they gave you,is it based on your Undergraduate course of study or the masters course you're applying for?? Thank you

Thank you.
The first set was oral
The subject based questions were written

Generalmac:
Congratulations.

Lol. Very true 😂 I forgot the last two questions; so I left it like that

chambersbaby:
Exactly the same questions that was set for me😂

12 x 3, one of the questions

You’re welcome. Yes, they give questions based on your course of study.

Joanlaura:
Thank you for this. please do they give questions based on what you are studying or just random.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT.

I arrived at the embassy at 5:40am for my interview, even though my appointment was scheduled for 8:00am.

Upon entry, we were instructed to arrange our documents in a specific order (Please listen to this ATTENTIVELY because people were sent back to the start by Mr Paulinus alot of times as regards this).
After document arrangements, the popular Mr Paulinus stand was next; had a seamless interaction with him (seems he was in a very good mood🙂) and i was the 2nd person to be sent into the embassy.

At the VO’s Office(Inner Chambers)
Entered the inner chambers at about past 7am

Questions:
1. What did you apply for?
2. What program are you going for? She asked this question repeatedly
3. Why Germany, why not the US?
4. Why do you want to study this course?
5. What’s your means of subsistence?
6. Do you know anyone is Germany?
7. Where do you work?

I was given 10 questions in total in Economics and Mathematics.

Economics Questions:
1. What is opportunity cost
2. Difference between demand and quantity demanded
3. State the factors of production
4. What is GDP and how is it measured
5. Explain market equilibrium

Mathematics Questions:
1. One apple costs $15, if I want to get 4 apples, how much will it cost ?
2. I have 50 oranges, if I take away 23, how many is left ?
3. If I drive for 60km in 1hour, how many km will I drive for in 2.5hours?

The visa application fee remains ₦118,500.

I completed the entire process at the embassy by 8:07am.

Not true please.
In sending your request please include your reason(s) for rescheduling and if possible, the month suitable for your new interview date. The embassy will respond between 24 - 72 hours.

Arkion:
Hello everyone, I would like to confirm how true this is. I was told that you cannot send a reschedule request on the same day you receive your appointment date. Also, is it advisable to mention the month in which you would like to have the interview when sending the request?

The last date known that was given an AD by the embassy was 17th June 2023.

Jonty8:
Pls update on the AD for this week

I went through this stress also from Fintiba even as my blocked account was fully funded from Germany.
Had to reschedule my interview because of them.
But after the reupload, the confirmation dropped in 1 day.

jawslyon:
My transfer was from Nigeria but didn't take long to reach them 24hrs for transfer and for verification of funds, the overall process plus rejection of the first source of funds document and the resubmission and the acceptance barely took 2 days.

I understand why they want to confirm and do thorough checks. We are sending high amounts of money from a high risk place where money laundering and such is prominent. Even if we are sending it from Germany, how did we get such amounts of money?

I understand that the process can be frustrating and anxiety inducing especially when your date is getting closer and closer but it is needed for due diligence. Even when doing Transfers from any bank in Nigeria, they ask for source of funds. They don't flag it cause they have your account history and details to verify on their end.

For the others reading and are not sure which blocked account provider to use, just make sure to remain calm, do your research well, plan for any setbacks so as to avoid being blindsided and reach out to the people on this platform for more information if you're still not sure. They have been really helpful for me trying to understand the whole visa process.

Your mode of application depends on the school’s requirements.

floflo12:
good evening guys, please i want to know if the old method of sending documents to uni-assist still exist or there's no need to send mail documents over but just upload everything digitally.

Yes they do

chambersbaby:
Does Embassy accept laminated documents, Eg waec, B.sc?🤔🤔🤔

FYI, it wasn’t an assumption.
Someone who booked 22nd April 2023 got a date and also another who booked 23rd got also.

Chriswazo:
Don't fret over it bro, i am sure she is just assuming or sth. I was surprised to see that too.
