I have followed from page one to the last, I haven't seen anyone who travelled successfully or applied as a medical professional. This has really discouraged me or am I missing out on something? 😞

I think most medical professionals get an approbation/permit since the field is regulated. Also, you need to know German all the way to C1 for doctors (Fachsprachprüfung).

Any Visa approvals so far? Which date are they currently on? We don’t really hear much about Visa approvals! Any update will be very helpful

Yes i did

Curiousitysaves:
Congratulations 🥂. So far November 8th is the latest date I’ve seen.

Did anyone apply August 2026 here?

Hi
Please the appointmentthat you booked, is it for student visa or for chancekart visa

Canaan77:

So it won't be possible to apply then

You joined the queue in August? You should be done with interview by now, right?

Yes, if you don’t know German properly.

11th of August

please have the embassy made a decision yet and sent back your passport?

Please the digital Waec printout, is it acceptable by German consulate in Lagos?
like if i upload the digital copy, then print it with concord paper for interview date?
Has anybody done this?

This won’t suffice, get your official original certificate from your Secondary School or directly from WAEC.

Jorazy:
I needed to do ZAB which took 3months, I had to do alot of affidavit because most of my documents had name issues.
Apart from those, everything went smoothly afterwards.

ZAB is on my neck, lmao. It turns out they don't accept only a degree type. They accept “degree type + course/degree name”. Meaning if yours doesn’t have this on Anabin you have to do ZAB. So, everyone just take note.

I also just realized that if this was an EU Blue Card application, the ZAB issue would also be a problem. Funny enough I also have an ongoing job interview with a German company.

I’ve just paid for the ZAB and emailed the embassy for an extension. Jorazy, it’s been a while since you came online. How did you address yours when the same issue came up?

I agree with Smokyasl that it is safer not to rely on a printout. I can only tell you what I did for my own student visa, which was to take original documents to the appointment, and I have not seen the Lagos consulate's current position on digital WAEC printouts in writing, so I will not tell you it is fine. Before your interview date, check the document checklist on the consulate's own website, and if it is still unclear, get the original certificate or a confirmation of results from WAEC so you are not risking a refused document on the day. Better to lose a few days now than your slot.

Still waiting for feedback

Hi Larry,

Do you mind sharing with us what German language proficiency certificate you went with/already had on file on the day you did your interview? A1/A2 or even B1? Please, share. Thanks in anticipation.

Laryfrosh:
I don't think anything changed. Still same process. Mine was just a bit different. I was tested in both Financial Accounting (my course of study) and IT(my current profession). Basic questions for both though,and sadly I can only remember few questions from the tests.

Accounting -
What are liabilities?
What is a Balance Sheet?
What are trade receivables?
Calculation for Gross Profit margin.
Calculation of Revenue.
A course in school and the lecturer that taught it.

Computer science -
Difference between RAM and storage.
What is an operating system and it functions.
What is an IP address?
Calculation on the space on a system. If 30GB is used out of 140GB, how many space is left.
If a file downloads at 30MB/second how many seconds would it take to download a file of 600MB?

These are the few questions I can remember at the moment.

Interview -
This isn't like the normal interview we know. I wouldn't even call it an interview. The word "interview" makes it so serious. I would just say they ask questions about your journey, documents/credentials, your job experiences, the route you are taking and how you will be accommodated. As you are answering the questions, the VO is typing in the answers. So, not the usually oral interview, and no need to be tensed. Just have knowledge of what I highlighted above.

Finally, Incase you are expecting the VOs to be whites, just like I was, they aren't actually whites. They are Nigerians like us.

All the best to us! 🤲🏾

Please can you share tip on how you applied for the german role, are you into tech as well please? Also, did you include nigeria in your CV and a Nigerian Phone Number. I have applied for many german role as a data engineer, I have only gotten one interview. Just to know what could be wrong and the reason for the silence. Your feedback would be so valuable. Thank you

I included Nigeria, and yes, I’m into tech too. I think your years of experience help; I have 3+ years of experience.

Thank you. I’m still waiting to be asked to go ahead to book an appointment. I just want to make sure everything is ready before then.

You must use an envelope from the specific courier company handling your shipment

you cannot use a UPS envelope if you are shipping with DHL (and vice versa).

DHL

Thank you. I asked because The German consular just stated that self prepaid Courier envelope, they didn’t specify any particular one.

You can use major courier services like DHL or FedEx to get a self-prepaid, self-addressed return envelope for the German Consulate in Lagos

[quote author=Imalwayshorny post=140804473]Sure, if I’m getting a prepaid envelope from UPS, that means they are the ones to handle the shipping.

Yes[quote author=Chocolatey17 post=140804525][/quote]

Medical proffesionals qualify for the chancenkarte as long as your degree is recognised.They will work parttime job like everyone else while working to get licensed since its a regulated profession to practise.
Qualification is stage one,Licensing is stage two.what stage are you?

Emmanuel555:

I think for the qualification,you need A1 german or B2 English.
