This is actually a loophole many people are not aware of. I am a Nigerian applying from Dakar, Senegal, and this is exactly how I did mine—it worked not only for me but also for several others here in both Senegal and The Gambia. It’s a genuine process.

You can even confirm this information directly on the German Embassy’s FAQ page.

Think about it: admission letters usually expire within one year, sponsorship letters after about six months, and many other required documents are time-sensitive. So, how can applicants be expected to upload all these documents at the time of joining the waiting list? By the time it’s your turn, those documents might already be invalid. That’s precisely why the embassy provides a 30-day window later on, so applicants can resubmit updated and valid documents. See the reference image below.

Hello, a family is applying from The Gambia, Dakar Consulate.
How long is the wait period? Or how long have you been waiting?
She's only been living there since July.
Thanks.

I have been trying to get admission,, I have gotten 5 rejections so far ,, I really need help on that even if it's private school that pays around 5k€,,I applied for my visa around February 2024,,

What is your qualification? Proposed study?

OluwaTofunmiiii:
What about if someone's passport doesn't state the school; they just wrote some things in the corner of the passport for the work permit, and it is not the school I used for my interview, I enrolled in, I enrolled in another school.

Will there be any issue?

All study visas often clearly state the name of the school. It is read as "this visa is valid for study at the XYZ University, München".

Let's stop this hypothetical questions, and do the right thing. You can do whatever you want later if needed. Keep a straightforward application and arrival.

shawnmendes:
Thank you!

But I'm not going directly to the school, I'm going to my relative's place. Is that okay?

It's not advisable to. Though Germany is liberal, it may raise concerns and more questions.

For example, if you're going to study at UNIBEN, it's better to arrive at Lagos Airport rather than arriving at Kano Airport because your relative lives there while your study begins soon. If you travel date is close to resumption date, arrive at an airport close to your study region, it makes common sense.

However, it's generally not a problem but advisable.

Prettiechi:
Please,is there any way around this

Nope. I don't know of it.

TyroneP:
Let me show you another one I found in my living room a few weeks ago. It's actually a mosquito.

That's not a mosquito. It's an adult mayfly. You live close to a river or natural pond? It's harmless anyway and only live for 1 day.

Godismighty:
Pls am interested in studying law in Greece, how do I make my application and what is the tuition fee like, thank you

There is hardly appointment available at the embassy.
Not worth it.

Sunshinestarr:
Hello,fellow Nairaland pals,
Please, I need information from any Nigerian currently studying in Greece.
I have been offered postgraduate admission in Greece.
I need any Nigerian who has passed through the process of applying for the student visa at the Embassy of Greece in Abuja to share his/her experience here. I am already gathering documents for the application
I want to get it right ooo! I don't want to fumble. I have many questions to ask to I can get the visa with ease.
Thanks

It's been years, what are the requirements, especially financial? Statement of Account, block account?

Graham340:
Hi. Is this for legalisation or visa appointment?

Visa appointment

They open appointments 9:30 am of every last Monday of the month.
I don't know how many but it's so few. I managed to see one today but before I could click, it was gone.
Nigeria is responsible for I think 2 other countries too.
I believe the dates are just too few for 3 countries or it's racketeered, the latter is likely the case.

JIGGERNAPPY:
Thank you for the insight. Is it only indigenes that are meant to issue the sponsorship letter? Can a Nigerian based and working in Germany help me out?

Yes, and it's better with a Nigerian as the sponsor can easily assume relationship.

Was Jesus born in December?

Would Jesus approve of current day happenings around circumstances around Christmas?

Would he had asked His followers to celebrate this day?

What do you think Jesus would say seeing all what comes with Christmas celebrations today?

Oemmy:
Hello,
Please does anyone here have the official grading system of Delta state university, Abraka or know how I can get it.

Contact me.

You'll still have to attach a copy to your transcript especially when it's requested by uniassist.

Are you joking or just naive?

There are human that have both sex organs.

She may have 2 sex organs (geni.talia) BUT can only have one pee hole because the person can only have ONE urinary system

uuzba:
Basically, every human being starts off as female
with female organ...
All of us.
It will either get bigger and bigger until you are born as a female.
OR
The male part will start to form out, while the female part will shrink off.
Then you get born as a male

In this person's case, the male part stated forming and the female part did not shrink off.
Anomaly.

Where did you study your biology?

Good morning my beloved Narialand .

Please I need ur advice.

I have a cousin that travel to Kuwait on working visa..

And he said the country is good.
And he got his visa through an agent.. the working visa cost him 2.5-3m..

And he got a contract job for 3 years
Now he advised me to save some money and come over...

Now this is my condition i work in a company as a (fitter mechanical ) engineering..industrial mechanical technician ..(currently working)

With total salary of 204k monthly.

After tax pension.. HMO and other. My net will be 150k

I Am planning to save up some money for this journey..

please 🙏 I need ur advice on this .

do u think leaving my job of 204k and travel to Kuwait on working visa wot it?

Please if ur in my shoe what would u do? I am 36 years old.. just with tread test certificate.. on (fitter) mechanical

What advice do u have for me..

Thank u ...

From my personal experience in UAE.

There's no much difference between any of the Gulf countries, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi etc.
On a long run, this will be a personal decision for you at 36. You may want to consider couple of factors:
Marital status
Family plan and value
Career prospects in Kuwait
Living and work conditions in Kuwait
Dealing with racial profiling issues.

Your cousin should be able to tell you IN DETAILS how living in Kuwait is for him and best to advise you.

Harbey92:
please can you shed some light on the question and how you answer when the interview asked you who would you block your next year account..

I think this is more a personal answer. There is no right or wrong answer.
1. Same source if you are currently using a block account
2. Student work savings as you are permitted to work 20 (24) hrs per week
3. Your city considers a student job contract of up to 80 hrs per month to be sufficient for means of sustenance (name your foreigner's office and be VERY CERTAIN OF THIS).

membranus:
Then stay in your country. There are enough tourist attractions in Nigeria to satisfy your curiosity.

Of course there are. Unfortunately, curiosity varies, I'm unbothered as there are over 29 countries I can visit without being ask to pay 1k for verification, others would barely 100 USD. This is rather punitive than necessary.
It's impact reflects rather on Nigerian state, part of the fee is to verify your passport, NIN and other govt issued ID relevant for travel.

OboOlora:
The money nor plenty, na ur currency bad.

That's just $400

400 USD is too expensive for a tourist visa.

Since this was seen some years ago, things that can prove your truths:
1. The authority should demand for the approval plan
2. Use Google street view, select the year (hopefully you find relevant year) and evidently, anyone would see the building and other nearby features.

Alakeke01:
Hi everyone, pls I need your advice with accommodation in germany....I have been advised about the risk involved with getting and paying for accommodation online before seeing it...but I don't have any relative in Germany that I can stay with till I can even sort this whole accommodation issue...my city is dusseldorf...my school dormitory is fully booked for the semester already, I will highly appreciate if anyone can be of help atp

Temporarily look at a&o Hostel. Alternatively, search for Youth Hostels and if Catholic (though irrespective), find the KHG Hostel

floxybba6:
What did you fill as your intended duration of stay in germany? How many years gap dod you give?

If your study is over 1 year, it's nearly irrelevant.
You can put the maximum number of days, 365/6.

Light78:
Please I'm planning to pursue a master's degree in Germany. What are some courses that will be the best to do? I need updates from someone with experience.


What will be my first step as a starter?

What institution will be the best?

Neuroimaging

Coralmum:
Thanks for replying. No, the lead is Msc. But it states Msc/PhD combined. Yet to get the admission letter to confirm if it is also indicated there.

Let's see what your admission letter says.

Best wishes

Coralmum:
Hello house. Any idea if an Msc/PhD combined program admission can qualify one for CAT A? Thanks in advance.

The lead is PhD and you get MSc alongside right?

If that is it, then the admission letter states it clearer.

Hannania:
Ideally, NO! because it's bachelor's for masters admission. But I'll strongly advise the person to apply. Why so? CAT A's AD drops max of 2 weeks after application. It has been a week for most people I know recently. Since it's not a hard requirement specified, the person can go and if it's not successful, 2 weeks is a short time compared to the 21 months for CAT B to know what will come of it. He/she can then apply for CAT B if it's not successful. It's a 50/50 chance. There's no penalty of so take it.

I suggested that because someone who graduated in 2020 with a first class applied for CAT A in April, and he got a date and had his interview last month.

Thank you for this.

Someone asked if a Distinction (highest grade) in MSc in Nigeria would qualify as CAT A at the embassy for second MSc in a German University.
I'm not sure how to answer, and would need clear opinion.

Thanks

If you have funds and 13200 Eur for block account and interested in Belgium, let's talk about possibilities. No long embassy wait period.

Jandminded:
Can one who doesn't have IELTS use proficiency letter?

Depends on the university. Some requires ONLY English Language boards examinations e.g. IELTS,TOEFL.

Others require either that or other proofs like letter of English proficiency or proof of having studied at least 3 years in English,

GodfreyOsondu:
Pls is IELTS or proficiency letter required for English courses at the embassy?

Secondly, has anyone gotten AM lately?

At the embassy stage, have a 2 set of copies (plus additional set of originals) of everything required as stated in the checklist, including other documents used during the admission application.

There's barely excess documents causing problems, rather too few documents.

Ginugo:
3.0 is 2.4 while 3.2 is 2.5 on a 4 point German scale

. Yes but there are only e.g. 2.3, the next is 2.7, then, 3.0. It's an interval of .0, .3, 0.7.

enemerci:
Please what of some one who got 3.0 cgp
What will it be when converted to German grading system.

I am getting 2.5 but am not sure if the calculation is correct.
Can someone be admitted with a 2.5

That's right... 2.5 on German 4.0 scale.

Most schools consider 3.0 and lower (i.e higher). With a good work experience, you're good.
You meet the minimum requirement, hopefully you get admitted in a non restricted (NC) course/programme.
