Johnnyessence:
thanks for your clarification here. Well it is clearly understand. Thanks. But why will you flog me lol. You funny ooooo. I just dey observe ooo lol.

Don't mind me jaree.....

Johnnyessence:
thanks for your reply here. I really appreciate your prompt reply. Well I still need more clarification on the lump sum block account. what of those that applied via Daad.de and found tuition free schools and applied. Pls am asking are they going to tender the lump sum block account of 8640 euros? Why am asking is that some schools only ask to pay for feeding and accomodation. I still need more explanation thanks. Honorobleseyi please I really need more of your reply here. Me and other new comers doesn't understand about it thanks. God bless.

@Mr. Johnnyessence
As far as German Student VISA is concerned. Even if you ain't paying a dime (Tuition Fee, Semester Fee e.t.c) to the school, you still have to

prove that you have enough money to feed and accommodate yourself for a year (which is the 8640 euros).

Or you ask one of your family member that you have in Germo to help you apply for a Sponsorship Letter (verpflichtungserklärung) @ their

Allien/Administrative Office.

Or you secure a Scholarship Letter from an EU/Germo Organization.

NOTE: Both the Sponsorship Letter & Scholarship Letter issuer will be responsible for what ever fee you are required to pay in Germany. Be it

Feeding, Accomodation, Tuition fee. That's if stated in your Scholarship Letter. e.t.c.

E.g. My Scholarship covers Cost of Travel, Health Insurance, Tuition Fee, Accommodation, & Monthly Stipend

The point of the whole story is Everyone (student) who wants to obtain a Student VISA must show either

Deut Block Account with 8640 Euros

Sponsorship Letter
Or
Scholarship Letter

So it does not matter whether you are paying tuition fee or not. I hope you will understand all this long story you make me type.

I will flog you if you ask us this question again oo

May5ive:
Please can someone start applying for Winter 2018 as from now? And then in terms of recommendation letter, who else can write for you apart from your professor and employer?

No!.......Most of the school will re=open application around March - July.

So try prep ursef bfor then

Olanrewaju92:
Got to the embassy around 5:58 am "I'm the one that demarcates American and German Embassy" come see crowd for there "American embassy people reach like dem wan go do crusade"
Got to German consulate by 6:01 am. Had to greet those on queue "they are visit visa" (E no concern).
Paulinus appeared around 6:09 am and started singing morning devotion songs from his android phone. The guy is just too principled and bit unethical "he told one OLD woman to sit behind even as there was no space for her to pass to go and sit behind as those in front were even willing to go back because of her age" be wary of him.
He called on student visa applicants "I was the only one on ground, so he called on me demanding for my appointment letter and passport"
We started sorting documents and on the long run asked of my baptism or vassination card, I told him I don't have and he said why? I told him I'm a Muslim and he said he's not talking about religion here that even Muslims have "with his ugly fair face". He started reasoning others applicants issue. He told me authoritatively that if any documents are missing and was told to go bring them, he wouldn't let me in anymore.
Successfully, I crossed his shackles constructed route.
Inside the security phase those guys were forming gods as if they are the one to gv me visa. Them too do like boss, I Register my name and passed through.
I was directed to go through the green line which I did. Entered the office and was shivering because of the cold and had to move back Cos of the A/C, very very cold.
I was called in by the VO "one small black Nigerian" (very gorgeous though but pulls in commanding character, from her charismatic self)
She started by
Ur documents, Ur original Certificates, Ur Visa fee, Ur courier envelope "thought I forgot that, she gave a command that I should go get it within 3 minutes" while the thing dey my documents.

Raemond:
Good morning guys. I was admitted to uni Hohenheim in stuttgart to study Applied climate and Earth system science. But am not really sure about the job prospects of this course. Although this is the only admission offer i got, I wouldn't want to study a course that would be useless to me. I want to know if this is a good course to study considerig jobs available to graduates in this field.

Also my B.Sc was in Industrial chemistry, can i build a career as a safety officer considering the Earth science masters I was admitted into and my B.Sc background? Please am confused at this point and i need the help of knowledgeable brethrens in the house. Danke

@Raemond
Why did you choose the course when you know that it will be useless to you?

In Europe Or in the developed world, no course is useless. Every course in Instituted base on the need (Not like Nigeria) to solve a particular

problem or to Research more on that particular area of study.

(So I think it is a mind set thing) Your Mind Set About The Course

Raemond:
Also my B.Sc was in Industrial chemistry, can i build a career as a safety officer considering the Earth science masters I was admitted into

My answer: Yes you can, because they are very much related.(Safety Officer deals with Environment)
So go back and check your course curriculum. And stop asking questions that will make me start crying & SMH for U.

Raemond:
I wouldn't want to study a course that would be useless to me. I want to know if this is a good course to study considerig jobs available to graduates in this field.

These are the hot jobs out there that you can help us fill.
Plus you have to be serious with Programming, Geographic Data Analysis & Data Visualization.

Remote Sensing Specialist
Geospatial Intelligence Analytics
Geographic Information Systems Specialist Or Analyst
Geographic Information Systems Developer
Petroleum Geologist
Environmental Specialist/Manager

Tinder:
Just got admitted to the degree course Bachelor Logistics at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt for Winter semester 2017.
No date for interview.

Congrat!.....We will definitely meet.

You will definitely be my school boy.

specialmati:
boss am just praying the euro crash to that amount in naira.this government just messed everywhere up

Ooo

Now I understand........I think I will join you in that prayer. Even if fasting is necessary.

specialmati:
i just need a sponsor oh lord help.this government has messed me up.where am i going to get 8640 euro at 180 per naira

Is this a joke or something.

You better wake up from that your pami drinking Dream.

It's not 180 Naira.

Na 420 Naira as of now.

gabi101:

hello bro your effort to render help and support to these people who are worried and depressed about appointment dates will not be forgotten,hopefully.

Remain Blessed!

I appreciate your kind words.

UncleJudax:

Ok. Thank you. I hope you are already in Canny?
.........
Here is the backstory.
Same Syrians are moving to Canada...fact
Canada student visa has become very unfriendly.
It is much costlier to fund Canada studies

After study stay may be more attractive in Canada but who says one cannot migrate from Germany to Canny?

Nothing is set in stone. Unless you are handing out Canadian student visa with free tuition fees, allow folks to decide for themselves.

Dont mind him, he is just a joker.

sHOTdownHawk:
Do most of you guys consider the political climate before you decide where to study. I mean, this year alone one million syrians (most highly educated, skill individual, and syrians are generally better educated than sub sahara africa) arrived. They all need jobs. Secondly africans have bad reputation in germany ( sadly I can not disagree with this assumption) worse than all rapist arabs. Germany has no time for africans. You have a better chance in canada than germany.

Sorry!......You are very wrong.

So here is the reply from Cotonou.

In order to help you guys out, I decided to mail the Embassy.

On behalf those of you who are thinking of visiting Ghana for Student VISA.

Here is the reply I got from "The German Embassy in Accra"

As soon as I get a reply from Cotonou, I will inform you guys.

May5ive:
Hellooooo pls help with answers ooo

Yes!......Your school will send you the Original Copy to the Address of Company you gave them.

Then you will make several copies of it which you will be using to apply to whatever school you want.

donkafor:
I feel your pain..

Am not affected jaree. But am not just happy with their latest development.

Thanks for feeling the pain I also feel for those with Rejected Appointment for VISA

I am very sure ''The German Embassy'' have SPIES in here.

So I am Directing this message to The German Embassy Nigeria spy(ies) (yes you).

I think it's high time "The German Embassy Lagos" come out with an Apology Letter which should also contain an Explicit Reason why they can't

refer Students to the The German Embassy Abuja when they barely or hardly receive VISA Applicants there in ABJ.

What is there Justification for allocating the whole "German Embassy in Abuja" to Politicians, Diplomats, and SSS.

This can never happen in Europe, USA or in the developed world.

Can't they attend to Students @ the The German Embassy Abuja and also attend to those Greedy politicians (Giving them Priority)?

Why must student suffer for all their unreasonable policies.

This is just Unacceptable.

crystal843:
Please I need help. I am yet to get a visa appointment and this is the message I got from the embassy please what do I do

Please note that the Consulate General is unfortunately booked out and cannot offer student visa appointments for the winter semester 2017/2018 any longer. If you are a prospective student and have received a scholarship grant by a German or European organization, please contact student@lago.diplo.de.

@crystal843

This is deep man. I can feel your pain already.

billiondd:


I wanna study ICT related courses e.g "communication and information systems" OR "Information and communications tech", OR "communications technology"

tanx

So you think it's a big deal.

Well, it goes well with it because am sure during your BSc. you did Electromagnetic Wave, Programming, Data Communication, Electronics, Wave & Vibrations, Optics, Engineering Physics, Magnetism.
I don't know how your school curriculum is structured but all these shud be in any 21st Century School in Nigeria
If you treated all these then you good to apply.
So don't be afraid.

I also hope you have a good GPA.

billiondd:
Good day fellaz.. plz I need ideas about something... I hold a bsc in Physics, also I've got several professional qualifications in ICT (i.e computer hardware / software and programming), and HSE (Health safety and Environment, including OSHA). I wish to do my MSC in Germany in an ICT related course. I'm kinda bothered since what I intend to study isn't directly related to my first degree. How do I go about this? Can I augment my application with my professional qualifications? Suggestions / ideas are welcomed. Thanks

What is it that you want to study?

Hilarious .

This is Unilorin

Reddev:
Hello People!

Been thinking of how to raise €8640 before Aug 18 which is my interview date and at the same time thinking of deferring till next year.

I need opinions please. I'd appreciate a lot.

Thanks people

@Raddev
God will show you the way.

And besides you can still go for the Interview without you funding your account, that's if you have opened the Account using Finitiba.

cc honourableseyi, Eke40seven
Please I will like to know your views about this.
I been admitted to Uni Trier and Jena for Msc Economics but I'm yet to choose which route to follow in view of my interview appointment which is fast approaching. I have looked into the study curriculum of both unis which is really good and suites my career path but I have little knowledge about the residency extension in both cities. As for job prospects, I know Trier is better off than Jena with the infos I got from the thread.
I will have opted for Uni Hohenhiem in Stuttgart where I also got admitted but the 1500€ per semester is already a road block for me. I also waiting to hear from Fau Erlangen-Nuremberg

@Made123
I really don't understand what is it that you want or waiting for.

Made123:

Why don't you go ahead with Trier then.
Residency Extension is after you must have gotten a student VISA, which you are yet to get.

So my advice for you is;
Use any of those A.L with the Enrolment Deadline Date closest to the Embassy's specified date (17.11.2017) to book an appointment if you've not yet book because you don't have much tym to waste. Except you would like to defer your admission till next year.

And stop waiting for someone to tell you what to do when you already know the next thing to do.

dejx:
Thank God for Nairaland, thank you so much Nairalanders especially Nairadean, Pualbets, Necki and all on this thread.

You are welcome.

dejx:
I have finally gotten an interview date.

Please will I have to completely fund the blocked account before interview date?

It is not necessary you completely fund it before the interview.
But the embassy will not forward your documents to the Foreign Office without you funding your block account copletely. So it is important that you completely fund your account so they can process your VISA.

I hope this helps.

dejx:
Help please!!!

I just got my opening confirmation of blocked account from Fintiba, so I sent mail to book for appointment immediately, only for me to get an immediate reply.

My own mail:

The German Consulate,
Dear Sir/Madam,

I write to book an appointment for student visa interview, I have been admitted at the Technical University of Munich in the graduate program Masters of Science in Nutrition and Biomedicine (winter semester 2017/2018) whose enrollment dealine is 17th November 2017.

Attached herewith are the letter of admission, opening confirmation of blocked account and my passport data page.

I would like to request you to consider my application and grant me an appointment date. Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,


Their reply:


Dear Sir,

Please note that the Consulate General is already completely booked out in September. We are therefore unable to grant you an appointment date as the processing time of a student visa takes up to at least 5 weeks. You are welcome to reapply for the next semester. Further enquiries concerning your current letter of admission cannot be answered.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely yours,

Visa Section

Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany Lagos

15, Walter Carrington Crescent

Victoria Island, Lagos

Federal Republic of Nigeria


Then I sent this:

Dear Sir,

I want to request that you kindly consider my application and grant me an appointment date as the enrollment deadline for the program is November
17th which is a later date than the date written on your website ("...Hence only students with enrolment deadline from November 15th, as well as scholarship holders would get appointment dates.".

Thank you for your kind consideration

Yours sincerely


Please what else should I do?

NB: A quick response is highly appreciated, thank you
