Hello everyone,

So, I initially thought I would have to go through the whole stress of applying and waiting from scratch. But I just found out that a friend who once helped me apply to some universities had actually started my visa application back in April 2023. Since then, I have only received three emails, all dated from 2023.

Does this mean I’m already on a waiting list? I haven’t seen any email that clearly states that. Also, how can I confirm if my application is still valid?

I’m new to all of this, so I’d really appreciate your guidance. Thank you!

P.s

I was given a reference number in one of the emails( the second)

You're already on the waiting list? What were the 3 emails you received?
People who joined the waiting list in april have gotten their appointments long ago, since February this year.

Good day everyone

Please what can one expect from the airport officers while traveling? It's my first time.

Basically what are the protocols or procedures to keep to heart?

Thank you.

Your admission letter should be printed out.

Naija airport is not an issue. Just show ur visa.
When you get to Germany, make sure that you are going to the school on your visa and tell the immigration authorities that you are going there. They may ask for your admission letter too.

Safe trip

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

Yes, it is okay. Just have all your necessary documents handy, including blocked account confirmation/sponsorship letter.

Hallo Hallo,

Thank you for your assistance so far. Pending when the university sends the hosting agreement, I started filling the form on the CSP and oddly enough, I am not sure I saw an option to add the hosting agreement. Is that normal? Is it a case of I have to add it In the other documents section?

For better illustration, I have attached the screenshot as a document of the requested documents.

Also, I don't know if i mentioned it online, I had done the Dr. Walter for a year duration.

Thank you again!

You will upload it after that recognition, in the employment something. No need of feeling the form.

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?

What about first class graduates at undergraduate level, do they still get a fast track going for MSc as before?

Novainni:
No
PhD is a fast track

I think you would have to apply as a scholarship student or so… I am not so sure

For first time travelers to Germany.

Please, hold your passport with visa inside. Most times, the school is stated in the visa. Secondly, hold your admission letter too.
The immigration officers will ask you where you are going. Even if you intend going somewhere else, tell them that you are going to the school city. If you intend enrolling in a different school, don’t even mention it. They will send you back to Nigeria. I know someone who made such mistake.
If they ask how you are getting to the city. Tell them that you will book train or someone will pick you at the airport if you don’t have cash.

Tell them that you are going to the school city. Once they stamp you in, you are free to go anywhere

Please, print the admission letter for the one you interviewed with. Tell them that is where you are going. My friend was deported back to Nigeria for exactly this error. He has to reapply from scratch with a lot of explaining to the embassy and the psychological trauma of touching down in Germany but didn’t enter the promised land.

I don’t know because I haven’t received any email of such. I can forward them to you via email .

What do the emails say. They send the same emails to everyone, so I'll know.
No need to forward them.

The first was “appointment in Lagos”: stating my registration to apply for a long term visa (more than 90 days) for students of the category B has been successful.

The 2nd was “ Request to confirm my appointment registration in Lagos”.

Wow, did you not have access to the email?

At that time, I didn’t even realize I had applied because someone else handled it for me while I wasn’t around.

you can use AXA massard....go to their head office or you simply buy Mawista online

Do they asked for other documents apart from the admission letter,like your school certificate, insurance, enrollment letter and so on at Germany airport

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.

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.

engino:
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?

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.

Good day , I am not always on here so pls send me a direct email with your WhatsApp number so I can respond , I will happily answer any questions you have . Goziejohn022@gmail.com

No, only if you give them a reason to ask. Carry along those documents just incase. Most don't ask for what you mentioned just your visa and admission letter and sometimes your enrolment certificate.

You can't say all and often in the same sentence, the usage is contradictory to your statement. Therefore your information is wrong.

That said, stop spreading false information. Only a handful of visas specify these info. Of course if you're going for a PhD, you're tied to that school and that program, if you're on a scholarship, you're tied to that school and the program. Some study visas mention just the program and degree type only, while MAJORITY of students visa issued at the Embassy in Lagos says nothing about your program or school. It just states it's a valid study visa which allows employment according to 16(b).

Maybe yours did depending on your visa application category but kindly confirm the information you disseminate before it becomes deliberate misinformation.

I think it was already confirmed, because when I clicked the link again a few weeks ago, it showed “• Your appointment has already been confirmed”.
