Hello Guys ! Please while filling the videx form, here is the answer to the following questions:

intend to stay in Germany for no longer than twelve months and apply for a visa valid for the entire period of my stay: YES

Do you intend to retain your permanent residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany? NO (This is an immigrant visa)

Do you have health insurance (for a longer stay) for the Federal Republic of Germany? YES (You can bring it at the interview)

Please Purpose of Visa is not Employment. You have to select 'other' and then you type 'Opportunity Card'
Sid57:
retain permanent residency outside Germany: now that's a tricky one, my response was yes, cos I aint bout to give up my residence for a place I am not sure of
answered yes for health insurance, but I purchased it after I picked an interview date.
I used the city I intended to stay in + a random postcode in same city
For the dates, just choose a close estimate to when you can actually go if you get the visa.

Got to any DHL office and get the self addressed Prepaid envelope. It will cost you more at the embassy. Go to any
EAJG:
Hello Sid57,

About the purchase ''self addressed envelope from dhl or ups''.

Did you make the purchase at the interview Office or directly through the courier's office.
Dhl office, tell them you want a self prepaid envelop for German embassy visa application. They know what to do. Mine cost me about 26k to Owerri. the cost will depend on your location, I mean the City where your document will be shipped/returned to from Lagos(German Embassy)

Hey guys, does anyone know what they usually expect in a lost degree certificate case? I only have a photocopy with a certified true copy stamp from the institution as they don’t reissue certificates twice. What should I expect in this situationhuh
If you can get a sworn affidavit of lost certificate, I think it would help your case.

Better still, if you can go to the institution and get an OFFICIAL STATEMENT, signed and stamped from the exams and records office, stating that your certificate was reported lost and you couldn't get a new one because the University doesn't reissue certificates, it would really help your case.

This is just my 2 cents. Good luck.

To the best of my knowledge, a CTC obtained from your institution after you have reported the original as missing carries the same validity as the original certificate. No institution issues two certificates to the same individual. For clarification, confirm this from your institution and do your research.
You can also get an affidavit alongside as stated by @cyberbro, if you don’t, they’ll likely request it during the preliminary stage, so it’s best to be proactive.

Please do they get to request for NPC attestation/certificate? Or one can just make use of the original birth certificate (hand written) issued by the local government, as at the same period the person was born?
Re: Migrating To Germany For Free : The Chancekarte Discussions by Adelawal2011: 12:31pm On Oct 31, 2025
If you were born after 1992, then you can submit your original birth certificate (hand written) if it was issued by NPC through your local govt. your birth cert must come from NPC. If the one issued by your local govt has Nation Population Commission as the Heading, then it is very okay, else you will need one from NPC. every other person born before 1992 will need an attestation letter from NPC, and the affidavit should be sworn by your father or Mother if father is deceased.

Hi everyone. I have a question. I don’t have a birth certificate and the one I have is NPC but dated 2019. Which means I’m already more than 18years when I got it. Can someone please explain this certified copy of local birth register extract? Is there other approach to getting my birth certificate aside this birth register extract? I’m so confused on what to do
Re: Migrating To Germany For Free : The Chancekarte Discussions by Diceman8: 10:29am On Nov 04, 2025
Just so everyone knows. The current total wait time is over a year, the preliminary review correction alone can take 4-6 weeks. So patience is needed if youre going through this method

How do you mean? At least those who joined the queue in April have been called for preliminary review. That's about 7 months. So, how did you come about the 1 year wait period?

I’m guessing he means the whole process. It gets slower by the day, except they increase pace. And he’s just saying y’all should be ready to be patient.

While we wait for those who are more experience on this, can I ask some questions?
You got an interview date of recent, right? If yes, please when did you join the queue and when did you get to the preliminary review stage?
Re: Migrating To Germany For Free : The Chancekarte Discussions by Adelawal2011: 10:45pm On Nov 04, 2025

Anyways, it must be something they would like to clarify, so it's a good thing as opposed to denial. All the best bro.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for keeping the thread active.

I got an email for an appointment to apply.

However, i am still having challenge with the proof of fund, although i have people that really would love to assist me but they are unable to block the money in Germany, they are willing to give me their statement of account as proof. Also for me i have asset in my name that i might be able to present just that they are not physical cash.

Given that i do not have SL/BA can i take this to the embassy because i do not want to pass the opportunity.

I will appreciate all input from my ogas in the house

Thank you Sirs/Mas
