How does this concern you.
If u cannot read , please don’t include me in you post.
The person I am referring to, understood what I wrote.

Again next time don’t quote me

you are very rude and silly. if you did not quote me, would I reply you or do I even care if you exist or not? You quote me here first when I wasn't even talking to you and now you talk nonsense. If I cannot read. I think you should go back home to learn some manners

the job search visa do not require a job contract. just try to fund ur account u would be fine

okay then. But are you sure they will give visas for menial jobs like cleaning and working in a factory? Be sure about that before you advise people sha o

Here are the requirements for job search visa:

What Are the German Job Seeker Visa Eligibility Criteria?
The German job seeker visa requires its applicants to meet the following criteria to be eligible to apply:

1. Be of adult age. You should be at least 18 to apply for this visa.
2. Have an adequate qualification. You are required to have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree from a German university or other equivalent foreign degrees.
3. Experience requirement. You should have a minimum of 5 years of work experience to be eligible for the Germany job seeker visa.
4. Proof of financial stability. You should prove you can cover your expenses for the duration of your stay in Germany. (I presume here comes the blocked account)

Hello everyone, Please I need help!!!

I booked for work visa early last year and my appointment is next month. I need a job contract to present to the embassy. I am open to any kind of job that does not require German. It can be cleaning, restaurant, factory, anything. Please anyone who can be of help? I'll greatly appreciate it.
I don't want to miss this opportunity. I have been trying Germany through studies since 2019 but I could not afford the Blocked account and the Sponsorship letter.

With all the kinds of jobs you mentioned here, the visa application will most likely be denied. Don't sha pay anyone cos only a business owner here can give you a work contract. Besides for you to qualify for the visa you must meet a certain wage requirement, which the job bracket you mentioned here do not

Thanks for the Insight.

Considering the current Nigeria VISA situation and for someone that might be travelling around July, do you think A2 language level is okay for a start?..as that is possibly the most achievable between now and July.


Hi, yes I think it is a very good start for you. With A2, you have the basics already. Just make sure that before you finish our studies, you get B2 at least and trust God, you will get a nice job

Hi guys, I figured this might be useful for those who would love to study in Germany. The video compiled a few scholarship opportunities in Germany. The end of the video also talked about opportunities for current students in Germany. Enjoy!



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYgARkYJoTQ

It has been a while since I came here but then I have time today so I want to encourage you guys with a short story (my story of the German adventure). I started checking this thread in 2012 when I read almost from the beginning to the end. However, during those times I remember many people complained that those that travelled to Germany do not come back here to give updates on their life during and after their studies. I and many others made a commitment to come back once in a while to update those willing to take our path. I came back on this thread about two years ago when I got a job here in Germany to talk about it but here today, I would like to talk generally about my path in Germany. I hope this would not be too long and boring for you. My journey started in 2015, when I came to study Agricultural Economics (Masters program), without a scholarship, To tell you plainly, it is not easy as a self-funded student in Germany, although very doable. Many times I remember I go for a night shift and resume for another morning shift the following day so that I can pay my bills. Now, Imagine what it would be like now for students when prices are skyrocketing. That is why these days, I try to help students with scholarship information and that was the reason why I shared the video I quoted. Moving forward, I graduated with an above-average grade and immediately after I got my first interview, I thought life is so easy. The interview went excellently well but I never heard back from the company despite sending a few more messages. From that time, it took almost 6 months to get the next interview after paying for different professional CV editing services. Still no show. It took 1 year and a few months after I finished before I finally got a break. Mind you, many of my colleagues already left Germany for the US and many other places because their 18 months expired and for many other reasons. Fast forward to 2022, I applied for a permanent residence permit because once you have worked for 2 years after studying here you are entitled to it. After several bureaucracies, I got the permit. With the permit, the possibilities here are endless, you can even become self-employed. My advice for you when you are coming are:

1. PLEASE LEARN GERMAN LANGUAGE if you are really serious about coming here. I had 2 interviews in the past where I missed out at an advanced stage because I couldn't speak German then. It is better and cheaper to learn in Nigeria before coming to face the ever-moving life here.
2. Another piece of advice is please do not come here just because you want to leave the country, make sure you research about your course of study very well before coming here. Some programs are designed for you to go back to your country and develop it not to stay here. If you come for such a program, your chances of getting a job before 18 months are limited
3. Try to apply for scholarships if you can, it will make your life easier when you get here and your grades can be enhanced.
4. There are many opportunities for you here if you can associate yourself with the right group.

That's it. I am talking too much already and I apologize for that. I just realize that for me to also try to catch up since the last time I was here, there is a need to paint the whole picture. So guys, all the best

It was listed in coinmarketcap the day before yesterday and it promises Cake in return just for holding the Babycake

Well so far so good, I bought some of the token, they give CAKE like they promised and the beautiful thing is that the price of the coin appreciated to more than 100% since I bought it. That's by the way but they give CAKE just like they said. Note that you must hold at least 200k to get the reward

Hi, management courses sell very well here so long you can speak the language. There are some MBA courses I know of in Nürtingen, Esslingen, Reutlingen and many others you will find and I know many graduates from these places that got jobs not too long after they finished

Travel / Re: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by Oye50(m): 10:39pm On Jan 28, 2021
Thank God it's still alive and well. I remember many of us promising then to come back here to give account of our journey in Germany, hopefully someone can pick one or two things. Honestly, I do not know anything about visa application procedure anymore, so I'm not the best person to advise on that. I was here in 2014, when I was planning to move to Europe and I found this beautiful thread. I moved to Germany in 2015 and I've been there since. One thing I am going to tell the new guys here is, please do not choose just any course of study all because you want to leave Nigeria. The money you'll be spending is too much for you to graduate with a degree that's not so much in demand in Germany. Germany is a beautiful land of many opportunities if you are ready to tap into it. I know not everyone can be in IT, or engineering but at least research well about the job opportunities of your desired course. Another important point is, please attend Goethe institute to get at least A2, or best case B1 German. Once you can speak good German, I can assure you that even during your studies, you may not wash dishes or do shitty jobs (pardon my lamguage). My point is LEARN THE LANGUAGE. I studied agricultural economics msc. And the thing is, many of the Nigerians in my set or those before me have either left Germany back to Nigeria or went somewhere else. Reason: they didn't get a job. I was lucky to get an internship in my first year of study to gain experience with a very big company here in Germany and that experience speaks alot for me. So another hint is, during your study try to apply for internships (you might be lucky coupled with the fact that you can speak German). In my case, I got only A1 which was not enough but I learned more here. Furthermore, after my studies, I got my first interview same month I graduated, and I tot life is so easy, it'll come in handy. That job didn't come. So I was sending cvs. The hard part now is from my first interview to another, it took several months and with a lot of rejection that got me depressed at one point. I was already putting leaving Germany as one of my options. Sometimes, I get 5 rejections in a day or even more. Mind you it has noting to do with grade. What else can be demoralizing than that? You see yourself as an Msc graduate doing all manners of jobs. I MEAN ALL MANNERS (legal though) of jobs just to keep busy and soul together. I got so depressed. Then I'm seeing my many colleagues (particularly those we came from Africa together) leaving Germany for other places. Somehow somehow, a light came at the end of the tunnel and I've been there since. One sweet thing is, once you get a job after study here, the time to get a permanent residence is shortened to 2 years. So it's nice to include. This was a promise I made back in 2015 because I felt people don't really come back here to say what they faced and how easy or difficult it was but here I am keeping that promise. So if you're a starter here, goodluck to you, God will pace way for everyone of us.

I hope to be in a country where I can be able to easily integrate ...and get a good job and a permanent residence

I also wanna be in a country where I can get a kind of job that would enable me get reasonable investments back home in Nigeria!!!
If you are in IT field or Engineering field, you can come to Germany, many times they take people in IT that doesn't even know so much of the language but if it's other field, you should stick to that Canada not minding the cost. At least for integration, you will almost be like you are home if you go to English seaking countries. No matter the option, you need money and once you get yourself a good paying job, investment back in Nigeria isnt a problem at all

Hello guys. I have a S7 edge I got in Germany last year, in prefect condition. I got it new and no fault at all. It fell down last week and had a very small crack on the screen in front and little little also at the back. I don't like using phone with cracked screen and I am willing to sell at a knocked down price. The crack is so small that you may not even do anything about it. If you interested, let me know, I'm traveling down to 9ja this month, I can bring it along (Lagos) . Pictures attached.

Great thread. I've been planning to study in Canada with a view to settling there. My problem is I don't think my kids will be given a visa with me (I have 2 boys, 11 and 12). The whole Canada ish is too stressful so I've decided to apply to European schools as a viable plan b. The truth is I actually prefer a European education for myself and my boys. I like the idea of Germany because of its strong economy. I don't mind the language issue as I plan to learn german immediately although my studies will be in English. My kids are currently learning german and French in school so I think they'll be fine. I am looking at doing a Bachelors degree which is 3 years, giving me enough time to acquire a permanent stay. So my questions are:
Is this a good plan? I am widowed so I will be alone with my kids. I have some money so I should be reasonably comfortable until I find some work.
What towns do I need to avoid? Any advise would be much appreciated.
I think I can say a few things to help you as I am about 3 years old in Germany. Well the truth be said, like every other person that has said something here. Coming to Europe as a Student is your best bet, except you come as a skilled worker. You will definately get something doing when u come as a student to carter for yourself and kids. What i dont really get with your post is if you want to come here with your Kids or not but if you want to come with them, I hope you know the cost implication. The embassy may require you to show as much as 8k euro for each of them to guaranttee their sustainance. If the cost can be afforded, then my other advise to you is not to come and study just for the sake of it. YOU MUST study what is actually in demand here in other to get a chance of securing a job aferwards. Learn the language to at least B1 or B2 level at Goethe Institute Lagos even before you leave Nigeria. You stand a better chance doing well meaningful jobs as a student with the language skill. I must also tell you that it is going to be a very big disavantage for you compared to your pairs in class because your Kids cant work and that is definately an extra burden for you coupled with the very demanding academic load. By the time you get a Bachelor here and Masters and you have the ability to speak German very well, you will be glad you did. Finally, I think it will be best if your Kids can stay back in Nigeria. I said this because the living cost will not be as killing compared to bringing them here. Before you can even get the visa, you must secure a living space, I mean an accommodation that suits the 3 of you. That could cost as much as 500 to 700 monthly. Thats just my advise but if you think you are up for it, why not
