Yes, my deponent passport and I also certified it at high court.

Joesno:
Pls I need some clarifications on this.

I've my NPC birth certificate issued before my 18th birthday but I am a little lost on the age declaration document. I do not have one.

The declation of age they are requesting mine or one of my parent's?

And I don't have any original id's from my parent, I can only get a scanned copy at best.. Will that be an issue?

CeeCeeO:
Send an email to the school you were admitted to with the insurance as an attachment.

Fwonder123:
Are u sure, because another person is suggesting TK for me

CeeCeeO:
It depends on your age. If you're above 30, then you're no longer eligible to be covered by TK or any other public health insurance in Germany. What they can do for you is to forward your M10 notification (a kind of exemption) to your school, if you request it. However, you will get covered by Mawista while in Germany. Moreover, if you're above 30, you can still email your Mawista insurance to your school while you wait for any of the public health insurance you choose to notify them of your exemption.

Fwonder123:
Thanks so much,but pls which one is M10, is it my insurance document, I should just forward it to the school

Thank you

Register on the CSP portal (the new portal) for students, then while filling the form you would be able to choose that your study leads to PhD. You can only choose your category as a PHD after registering for students visa. https://app.digital.diplo.de/login

WinnyNelly:
If you have hosting agreement then it researcher visa not students visa

pineapplejuice:
You apply on the consular services portal. The entire process is explained on the embassy's website.

gosarumese:
They will likely not attend to you and reschedule because your documents are not complete.

Enjay1998:
They actually attended to me. I did the interview and test. They asked that I send the documents on or before 29th August.

Thanks for your response

Above ,I used mawista

Hello WInnyNellly,

Exactly. I know Germany does not treat PhD research as studies but rather as work, hence the confusion.

I did see this though (https://digital.diplo.de/navigator/ru/visa/overview/promotion) which says "If you wish to get a PhD in Germany and you have already been accepted into a PhD programme, you can apply for a study visa if you can proof that you have enough financial means to cover your living expenses."

I am still waiting for the final documents from the school but considering that there is always a waiting time, I was hoping that I am able to get an appointment pending when the documents from the school arrive any moment from now.

I am not able to register on the CSP (https://app.digital.diplo.de/login). It says to choose a "Service" first, which upon clicking leads me here (https://digital.diplo.de/). I selected visa (https://digital.diplo.de/visa). I clicked on Studies and it led me here - https://digital.diplo.de/studium. Unfortunately, it says online application not yet available.

Hence why I am not able to register on the CSP Portal.

Perhpas you have an idea how to go about this? Or I am missing something?

Thank you.

Hello,nairalanders.. please is it a must for someone to go with the original sponsorship letter or scanned copy is allowed?

Ayo1011:
Yes, it is a must, ideally you should bring the original and one copy

WinnyNelly:
Go to CSP portal
Click visa for long term stay
Choose national visa for employment
Click " Go to apply via CSP now"
Click Visa
Choose taking up employment as a highly skilled worker with university degree
Then choose Nigeria
Click Lagos from there you are good to go

KingThomas1:
Thank you so much, I am doing it now. I saw that Lagos was actually clickable. I had mistakenly thought it was the same with Abuja.

WinnyNelly:
Remember you must upload all the required documents before you can get an appointment.

KingThomas1:
Yes, I just got a mail from the university even asking if I would be needing a hosting agreement. So I am also in the process of gathering all the documents. Wanted to atleast have everything on ground. I was able to create the account on CSP.

Also, I got this from the school:

"Please inform me if you need a „hosting agreement“ for the embassy. This is a complicated process here at university. So if you will need it for embassy please inform me very early because here I need some time for it. But for display for this document we need a health insurance or a travel health insurance that says that when you are in germany before your employment at university starts, that you have a health insurance in this time, also I will need your passport document.

I would like to inform you that I got the information from a canditate in the past (also from Nigeria) that it could be that embassy need a special health insurance, so that travel helath insurance is maybe not the correct one, please ask here the embassy which health insurance you will need for the entry."

By chance, could you kindly assist? Not quite sure I fully understnad.

Thank Youuuuuu.

For the university and embassy, you need health insurance not travel health insurance.
In my own case, the university suggested a public health insurance so I registered with Techniker Krankenkase which the university accepted and I also submitted it when I went for my interview but 5 days after the interview I got an email from the embassy to submit an incoming private health insurance so I registered with Dr. Walter and sent it to the embassy. I heard the embassy didn't take the former because it requires you must be in Germany before activation but the later covers you immediately from the point of entry.

gosarumese:
You don't have to worry yourself. Your birth was registered before you turned 18. Use the NPC birth certificate you have. That works perfectly.

Thanks for your response

Kboy2020:
Please anyone gone for interview on biochemistry/ industrial chemistry… pls share interview questions 🙏🏽 my appointment is this month.

KingThomas1:
Oh, I see. Then I should look at registering with Dr. Walter now also then. If it is not too much trouble, could you share the process or package you'd recommend and cost? Any other tips you would recommend. I would have asked to continue in the DM but I imagine this would also be beneficial for all.

Thank you so much again.
