YOU DON TURN CITIZEN OR PERMANENT RESIDENCE BE THAT. I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT IS PAYING YOU OR UR WIFE 850 EUROS MONTHLY COS WHEN U GET PICKIN YOU EARN SOME MONEY FOR THAT COS GERMANS NO DEY GREE BORN SO IS A WAY OF ENCOURAGING THEM.

Godson201333: HMMM NECO I doubt it,Please guys should stop thinking about admission alone always think about the embassy too,But all thesame stay positive and use what you've got.

I DON'T HAVE WAEC SO I USED MY NECO.

weebay: I just got my admission letter to the university of Gottingen..problem now is I don't have up to 1.8m..just 1.5m do u guys think I can still swing it?

THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM NAH. SOME DON'T HAVE AT ALL. IT'S A CHALLENGE AND NOT A PROBLEM COS THE CHALLENGE NOW IS TO RALLY ROUND AND LOOK FOR THE REMAINING 300K.

yuugo: @kelly4top i sent you a mail pls check ur email. reply pls its urgent.

Thabks.

PLEASE POST ALL UR MESSAGES HERE INSTEAD OF SENDING ME PRIVATE MESSAGE.

futurewise11: Kelly,between baden wattenburg and berlin which one will u recomend?got admitted into d prestigious european school of business and am also expecting another adm from a school in berlin,pls in terms of living xpenses,student jobs and legal system which one will u recommend?both school are free. [b][/b]

i school in baden wattenburg too. you can see Tope is in Berlin and he is enjoying it so pray that God should help choose. to me, all are good so far na germany.

Godson201333: Mehn Kelly at the Top hit it all....When you arrive you should be thinking of doing all registrations and of course extending your visa,passing your exams.

No regret in Choosing Germany,For student life is very very cheap.You can always plan road trip in Germany every weekend if you like traveling...You can always visit student cities where you can meet other students of different nationalities..You could partake in sport activities,There are some cultural programs like TANDEM.


You cant compare Germany to UK,I jex dont it like cos life is a lil bit expensive for students in the UK.

You can always travel on bus to other countries from Germany at a cheaper rate.....for me Germany is sweet and oH yeah im missing home.

so far you maintain your student status you can always Get rebate on everything you doing like Train ticket,flights,bus and more...

But with the life here,Night life and so on,Many students get distracted and drop out of school,of course you might be thinking of doing business but to me school cos once you dont come to class,Your school will report to the Auslander Behorde.



Actually i would disagree with Someone presenting 8k euro yearly before getting visa renewed but sometimes in Germany,Different state with different rules,s for Bayern Munich,I would say Nope cos i was there Recently.But Health Insurance is very important...Ranges from 80 euro -120 euro depending on your University state.

You pay tution fee up to 500euro in Bayern and lower Saxony i think while places like Nordhein,westphalia,Rhine Palatinate and more is free tution but you might have to pay student contribution fee which is 200 Euro.

So when looking for admission you need to acquire more info before choosing the Uni.

WHEN LAST DID YOU RENEW YOUR RESIDENCE PERMIT AND IF YOU DISAGREE WHAT WILL YOU RENEW IT WITH IF NOT WITH CLOSE TO 8K OR SPONSORSHIP LETTER FROM A GERMAN CITIZEN? JUST ON MONDAY MY GUY IN 3RD YEAR WENT TO RENEW WITH JOB CONTRACT AS USUAL AND WAS TOLD IT'S NO LONGER POSSIBLE THAT HE NEED TO SHOW PROVE OF FUND AND THE GUY GET 1 MONTH TO GO TO TURN ILLEGAL HERE.

ARE YOU SURE THEY WILL RENEW FOR YOU WITHOUT PROVE OF FUNDS AND ACCOMMODATION CONTRACT? ASK QUESTION WELL OH OR VISIT YOUR FOREIGNERS OFFICE SO THAT U GO REALLY BEGIN PLAN DOWN NOW. THINGS DON CHANGE OH.

franklysco: no vex abeg! As per d another 8k for d renewal of residence permit, does it also apply to MSc students? And as for d accomodation, can 2 people share an apartment I.e having a room mate? All the best in your eexam!

FIRST RESIDENCE PERMIT I GOT AS UNDERGRADUATE WAS MORE THAN ONE YEAR. ABOUT 17 MONTHS SO I STIL GET SMALL TIME TO HUZZLE AS FOR MASTER DEY DO GIVE THEM AROUND 14 MONTHS FOR 12 MONTHS COURSE. SO AFTER YOUR STUDIES AND YOU GOT JOB, YOU WILL CONVERT TO WORK PERMIT. NO FEAR, GOD DEY.

dmitroika: Godson, Topeagis, kellytop and all you guys in germany, una don try! If not for the contributions of you guys a lot of people would have made terrible mistakes; including me.

Now its time for you guys to enlighten us on how Germany is like. What should our expectations be in terms of cultural shock, part-time jobs (do some students work overtime?), friendliness towards foreigners, work load at school, etc.

Can Germany be compared to Uk in terms of infrastructures, education, etc?

Any regrets on choosing Germany so far? What would you guys have changed if you had the chance to while still in Nigeria. The pros and cons of studying in Germany as an International student.

Oya let the game begin!!!!!!

AS AM TALKING TO YOU NOW, I GOT A JOB THAT PAYS 10 EUROS PER HOUR TO WORK 10 HOURS DAILY THRU OUT THE 3 MONTHS SUMMER HOLIDAY. I ALSO GOT OTHERS. ONE PAYS 7.5 THE OTHER PAYS 8.19 SO I WENT FOR THE HIGHEST. ALL NAIJA GUYS FOR MY CLASS GET UP TO 2 OR 3 JOBS TO CHOOSE FROM.
JOBS DEY HERE ESPECIALLY THIS SOUTHERN PART SO NO BOTHER ABOUT JOB. DURING SCHOOL YOU CAN WORK PART TIME AND FULL TIME IN HOLIDAY. THE JOB AGENTS OF THE COMPANIES HAVE BUSES TO COME AND PICK YOU TO WORK AND BACK HOME AFTER WORK. THIS JOBS ARE PRODUCTION JOBS IN COMPANIES AND DOES NOT NEED TOO MUCH LANGUAGE BUT BASIC GERMAN UNDERSTANDING IS OK. WORKING WITH GERMANS WILL EVEN MAKE YOU LEARN THE LANGUAGE MORE. THEY WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO OPERATE MACHINES AND MONITOR THE PRODUCTION.

I DON'T LIKE COMPARING COUNTRIES SO FOR YOUR QUESTION ABOUT UK, PEOPLE ARE STILL MAKING IT THERE SO YOU CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE GOD APPROVES. PEOPLE ARE MAKING IT IN NIGERIA TOO IS MATTER OF BEING WHERE GOD WANTS U TO BE.

STUDY

MEHN AS I SAID BEFORE, YOU NEED TO READ ON YOUR OWN HERE OH. FOR EXAMPLE, PROF TEACH MATHS CALCULUS AND OTHER CALCULATIONS COURSES WITH PROJECTOR AND WILL NEVER SOLVE EXAMPLES FOR YOU THEY WILL JUST READ WHAT U HAVE IN SCRIPTS. BUT THEY WILL GIVE YOU SCRIPTS TO GO LEARN ON YOUR OWN. BUT UK TEACHES FINE COS U ARE PAYING HUGE FEE. OTHERS IN GERMAN ABEG NA SO OR ABI NA ONLY MY SCHOOL?

EXAMINATION.
MOST EXAMINATION ARE 1HR HIGHEST IS LIKE 90MINS. ANSWER ALL QUESTION. NOTHING LIKE ANSWER SOME LIKE NAIJA AND ALL THEORY NOTHING LIKE OBJ HERE. 49 FAIL AS FROM 50 IS PASS. 90-100 IS A. SO THEIR MARKING SCHEME NA DIE.

ATTEMPTS.

IN SOUTHERN GERMANY, THERE IS A LAW THAT YOU CANNOT WRITE FAILED EXAM MORE THAN 2 TIMES. UNLIKE NAIJA WEY U GO WRITE CARRY OVER PASS 10 TIMES. AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS YOU WILL BE EX-MATRICULATED AND DEPORTED BACK HOME JUST because OF ONE COURSE EVEN IF U HAVE A IN 100 COURSES. BAD LAW..

LANGUAGE

YOU ALL KNOW THAT ANY LANGUAGE YOU CANNOT SPEAK SOMETIMES BECOME A BARRIER. LANGUAGE THING SHOW ME PEPPER SHA. IF YOU LOST FOR ROAD AND NOBODY TO DESCRIBE THE WAY FOR U IN ENGLISH, U ARE ON YOUR OWN. YOU NEED TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE COS ALL FORM YOU FILL HERE NA GERMAN EVEN JOB APPLICATION FORM AND YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR CV TO GERMAN.

HEALTH INSURANCE AND ACCOMMODATION

EVERY MONTH THEY AUTOMATICALLY DEBIT UR ACCOUNT WITH 80 EUROS FOR HEALTH INSURANCE WEDA U SICK OR NOT. ITS A LAW IN GERMANY. BUT TOPE PAYS LESS AT 33 EURO OR SO YOU CAN CONFIRM FROM HIM. MY FOREIGNERS OFFICE HERE DEMANDS THE ONE OF 80 EUROS SO I COULDN'T GO FOR CHEAP ONE LIKE TOPE.

ACCOMMODATION ARE EXPENSIVE. I AM AMONG THOSE PAYING THE CHEAPEST 254 PER MONTH BUT IN BERLIN IS CHEAPER AT ABOUT 200.

RESIDENCE PERMIT

TO RENEW YOUR RESIDENCE PERMIT, THE LAW HAS CHANGED NOW, YOU WILL NEED 8K EUROS IN YOUR ACCOUNT YEARLY. BUT IF YOU HAVE SPONSORSHIP LETTER FROM GERMAN CITIZEN, THEN THAT'S ACCEPTABLE. UNLIKE BEFORE ONCE U SHOW UR JOB CONTRACT, U DON NEED TO SHOW 8K AGAIN. THEY SENT OUR GUYS IN 200 LEVEL HERE LETTER TO GET READY FOR THE 8K COS THEIR PERMIT WILL EXPIRE NEXT MONTH. NA THEN I KNOW SAY THE NEW LAW SERIOUS DIE.

CONCLUSION
GERMANY IS OK BUT IS GOOD YOU FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CITY YOU ARE GOING AND PLS LEARN THE LANGUAGE COS WHEN YOU COME HERE WITHOUT BASIC LANGUAGE, U WONT FIND IT FUNNY AT ALL. BYE I HAVE TO JACK COS I STILL GET ONE PAPER TO WRITE.

HOPE
GUYS ARE MAKING IT SO YOU WILL MAKE IT. JUST KNOW YOUR PRIORITY AND FACE YOUR STUDY. OTHERS IN GERMANY CAN ADD TO WHAT I SAID OR QUOTE ME WRONG, IF AM WRONG. I HAVE SAID EVERYTHING TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.

topeajis: From the mail embassy sent to u as a confirmation u will seethe link to reschedule ther....

THEY HAVE CHANGE THINGS NOW. YOU CANNOT RESCHEDULE AGAIN. YOU CAN ONLY CANCEL AND REBOOK IMMEDIATELY.

futurewise11: [color=#006600][/color][b][/b

OK TELL AM SAY NA ME HAIL PASS OH.TELL AM SAY E REMAIN ONE PAPER MAKE I WRITE FINISH FOR THIS SEMESTER.

THERE ARE ALOT OF DATES RELEASED NOW SO GUYS START BOOKING OOHHHH BOOK FAST BEFORE SHARP GUYS BOOK AM FINISH.

Godson201333: E hard but the meaning of your 8k euro is that you can use it to survive within 1 year thereafter you should hve secured a job that can take care of your necessary bills.As a student,You can only work for 2 hours a day!

no oh. As a student you can work 6 months part time or 4 months full time.

toplevel: @kelly4top when would your school start summer admision against next year because I want to send application to your school for summer intake since they don't demand for toefl also do I have to send my original diploma transcript to them? Because I want to apply to your university only for undergraduate cause which is the electrical/info tech

They will start by August till nov 15th. Yes send original transcript.

sammykunjas: Kelly d Boss, why u dey laff naa?? omo boy gats to find out oo so that him go know whether him go carry food from naija here dey go Germany..LOL!

beebee5000: pls when i get to the embassy do i need to make extra copies of my passport information page, and can i do it there?

YOU CAN DO IT OUTSIDE THE EMBASSY AT 200 NAIRA PER PAGE. I REGRET FORGETING TO MAKE ALL PHOTOCOPY I NEEDED COS THOSE GUYS CHOP MY MONEY because I NEEDED IT. EMBASSY DONT MAKE COPY FOR U. THEY SENT ME TO GO OUTSIDE.

Godson201333: 14 k for 3 months?

I used Aiico insurance very fast and they are reliable...23k for 3 months ,35 k for 1 year!

YES 14K FOR 3 MONTHS. I DID NOT USE AIICO COS IT's expensive. You are mandated to take up new german insurance here when u land so dont buy more than 3 months.

franklysco: pls, can u throw light on this health insurance tingy? I haVe No idea about it

I USED IGI INSURANCE. CHECK GOOGLE FOR MORE INFO. IT COSTED ME 14K.

manover: Hello everyone! Please i need help and advice on this issue. i want to apply for MSc program in Germany. the problem is, my Weac result has three names "Abumere Hope Efe", but my BSc result, transcript, and Certificate has only two names Abumere Efe, and my NYSC Cert, has two name Abumere Efe, my Passport has three names Abumere Hope Efe. when i got admission into University i only use two names, Abumere Efe, and i didn't include "Hope" i am confused, i dont know if i can use it to apply to any program i Germany, and if it will also affect my visa application, please i need advice.

THIS IS HOW OYIBO REASON: THE WAEC HAS HOPE AND THEREFORE DOES NOT BELONGS TO YOU AS OTHERS AND UR ID HAS ONLY 2 NAMES.
THIS IS HOW WE REASON: IT WAS A MISTAKE.

SOLUTION: GO TO COURT AND SWEAR AFFIDAVIT AND VISIT VANGUARD OR ANY NEWSPAPER AND PUBLICIZE IT. THIS TWO DOCUMENTS WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE.

[quote author=sammykunjas]Kelly4top, this na why u be the Oga at the Top . Anyway Bro, I have questions oo... If Uni-assist has evaluated your first application and sent it to the university you first applied to, does it still take long for them to evaluate a second application you sent much later to another University since they have evaluated your Degree certificate and others before? Another question is, Please do you know any stuff about Philipps University of Marburg? I recently applied for Masters there while I was waiting for my admission in the Berlin University. I dey wait for reply Boss. Anybody that have info about my questions, please and please don't hesitate to share. [/quot

lol. THAT OGA AT THE TOP THING JUST DEY REIGN FOR HERE TOO. WE WATCH AM FOR YOUTUBE.

NORMALLY IT TAKES UNI-ASSIST 2-3 WEEKS TO FORWARD UR APPLICATION TO THE SCHOOL YOU ARE APPLYING FOR FROM THE DAY THEY RECEIVE THE PAYMENT. SO EVEN IF THEY HAVE EVALUATED YOUR RESULT BEFORE, I DON'T THINK IT WILL FACILITATE THE NEXT APPLICATION COS THEY HANDLE EACH APPLICATION ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. JUST BE PATIENT, THEY WILL SOON FORWARD UR APPLICATION. DON'T ALSO WORRY EVEN IF THE SCH DEADLINE IS APPROACHING AND YET THEY HAVE NOT FORWARDED IT COS AS LONG AS THEY HAVE RECEIVED UR DOCUMENTS AND PAYMENT BEFORE THE DEADLINE OF THE SCHOOL, THEN THEY WILL HANDLE THE REST WITH THE SCHOOL AS UNI-ASSIST HAVE DIFFERENT AGREEMENT WITH DEADLINES FROM EACH SCHOOL.
CONCERNING THOSE SCHOOLS, I DONT HAVE IDEA. I AM BASED IN SOUTHERN GERMANY.

johnck: Thanks a lot for the quick response. I am so happy it doesn't take so long. By the way, please what kind of mail did they send you. Is it that you visa has been approved? or what? I'm sorry for being so curious

THEY WILL SEND YOU EMAIL TO COME TO THEIR OFFICE WITH YOUR 3 MONTHS TRAVELING HEALTH INSURANCETHEN KNOW THAT YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED.

t-med:
I have just received my letter of admission today. Please Godson and Kely4top,how many days did it take the embassy to grant you the visa after the interview?

MINE TOOK 2 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS WHILE OTHER NAIJA GUYS IN MY CLASS SAID THEIRS TOOK 2 WEEKS.

dmitroika: hello house, my admission letter into a masters program at the university of freiburg just came in. the language of instruction is in English but it is not stated on the admission letter, i hope this wouldn't be a problem at the embassy? experienced replies plsss

IF THE LETTER WAS IN ENGLISH, THEN IT AUTOMATICALLY MEANS THE LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IS ENGLISH. EMBASSY WOULD UNDERSTAND AND IF DEY HAVE DOUBT THEY CAN ALWAYS CONFIRM FROM THE SCHOOL SO DONT PANIC.

sammykunjas: Haba Kelly!! It's not like that naa.. Na wa 4 u oo.. Help us answer it well abeg. Okay Make I stipulate your own name now. "Kelly4top Abeg help us answer the question". . We are waiting for ur reply.

LOL YOU DONT NEED TO CANCEL IT. JUST RESCHEDULE TO ANY SUITABLE DATE YOU FIND BUT IF THE APPOINTMENT IS GETTING CLOSER AND YOU STILL HAVE NOT SEEN ANY SUITABLE DATE, THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE THE TIME SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE BANNED. ANY MORE QUESTION MY GUY.
