Tell photographer to give you 8-in-1, and let your face occupy at least 70% of the photo. White background, no shadows, no obstruction.

4 hours before departure? That's a bit too early. 2 hours to 3 should be enough in my opinion. Instead of waiting the whole time.
Anyway, if u have a flight ticket and a valid passport u are normally allowed into the airport waiting area without much of an issue. I would advise u get a cheap hotel close by and then book a taxi for 3:am . Or, go to the airport 6 hours before ur flight after chilling in Lagos ur whole day.
In my opinion u shouldn't have booked a flight at that time. It's a bit complicated now for u. Night flights are always convenient to be honest. Hope u find a way around this Oo. Good luck dear. Happy for u!

In case you don't know. Nija certificates now have security features especially your WAEC and BSc. So, there is nothing funny to laugh about.

I also submitted a number of my certificates laminated and didn't have any issues with it. I also know a number of folks that had a mixture of laminated and paper certificates.

I am a bit shocked at the statement of certificates not being laminated. Yes, some issuers state the non-lamination of their documents but a healthy number also advise pro lamination.

I actually laughed at the security feature statement.. cheesy

Security features on our certificates in Nigeria!

May it happen soon. Amen

My sincere advise is this.Since you are coming from outside Lagos, plan your arrival in Lagos to the evening before your flight.Go to the departure area in the airport and find somewhere to put your neck. its always a busy area and you will not get harassed since you have your traveling documents with you. But be careful with your luggage.
You can also do online check in to save you the hassle of a long queue.

IF BY SCHENGEN VISA U MEANT VISIT OR TOURIST VISA, the answer is NO, NO NO. The only way u can convert it is
A: seek asylum. (Which sucks)
B: be heavily pregnant and have a person with a work permit in Germany who claims he is responsible u( which I doubt is the case.)
C: complicated health problems( this only delays ur coming back, not gives u a permit.
D: be highly skilled and find a company or whatever that wants u asap, then u can stay without a problem.
Bottom line u cannot apply for a work permit in Germany as a tourist. It cannot be converted except on extremely special occasions

He cannot apply for assylum...his fingerprints were taken at the embassy and the documents he submitted for the schengen visa is in his file.....for u to seek assylum u ve to prove that u country is at war or u risk been jailed without fair trial or u gay and risk jail term or u ve health issues which cant be treated in yr home con3......if he seek assylum he will be denied,deported and banned.

Ur case will nt fly unless u decide to go underground for like a yr and then all of a sudden show up with german kid.. maybe then the immigration lawyers can work out something..

My advise

Bros go Home pls...

Bro. Someone has earlier mentioned on this thread that the embassy do not accept laminated originals. However when I went to certify my documents, this same Chinese looking lady collected my laminated secondary school testimonial and a copy and certified it alongside my other docs. So this means we are not yet certain of the real problem in your own case.

As regards your case now, I suggest that you call the embassy quoting your visa application number and tell them that you have submitted the original of the certificate but in a laminated form. On the phone the embassy official will then perhaps be able to tell you whether it is the lamination that is the problem or if it js just an error from their end.

If the lamination is the problem, then you could ask them if its possible to take your certificate back amd remove the lamination (but this may damage it or they may not even give it to you now).

Alternatively you could visit your university asap and work around with the students record or HOD or Dean (whichever works fastest) to obtain a document on letterhead that states that you have fulfilled all the requirements to be awarded a Bachelors degree, signed and stamped. You can then take this to the embassy. However before you do this, I advice that you inform the embassy so that they can know what to expect from you

Let us know how it goes.

It's even very risky going to lagos airport @ dat time of d day...Just safe urself of any PITY STORY by passing d nite @d airport...
Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by DanIndia(m): 3:12am On Sep 01, 2015
This shouldn't be a problem at all. I once had a flight for 5am and I had no problem getting to the airport even at that time.
Traveling in Lagos at the early hours is like surfing on an empty highway haha though you go still see people o. Na Lagos we dey talk so.
Just arrive Lagos a day earlier, go to one of those taxi ranks and book two cabs. Make sure it is two o (because one can oversleep). Make arrangements with them to pick you up at around 2-3am the next morning. They'll be more than glad to do so.
If one fails to make it, the other will.

Bon voyage

@5.37am you are already at the embassy, good of you. Application form has no bar code. Photocopies are not necessarily meant to be colored.
If I may ask, where did you sleep?

Are u saying that he got to the embassy too early? On the day of my interview i got to the embassy at exactly 5:00am on the dort and 5 people were already on the queue. I had to join the queue as the 6th person. I was even wondering if the 5 people I met at the embassy at 5:00am when I got there slept right there at the embassy.

Have u filled the contact us form on the bank site ?if not plz do and let than have ur details.so they can trace your file.

They have thousands of people from around the world sending them applications daily so human error might make them omit some. or if u have anyone one in German already u can have them visit any of Bank branch and lay complain with your details . I think they will have 2 trace your file and treat ASAP

You are supposed to have gotten your account details from DB since 28th of July. Mine stayed 3 weeks and 3 days before DB sent it. Check your spam mail to see if the message was delivered there. When is ur interview and enrolment deadline?
