Hello house,

Is tuition fee now applicable to all German Universities?

Starting from which semester are they going to start charging.., Summer 2017, Winter 2017 or Summer 2018?

Please i really need your input on this.


Cc: Eke40seven , honourableseyi and ProfSamurai

Thanks guys.

One one state charges at the moment, Baden Württemberg.

Hello is there any1 sending certified document to uni-assist next week so we could send together through fedex.. If interested pls contact me 08065695628

Great thread here. I have read the first 25 pages and still gaining knowledge. I want to ask about scholarship opportunities available for students without professional experience. I'd like to get first hand information although I've checked through daad.de.

jay123000:
Pls @ninered, Do u mean there is no visa fees for students visa and no filling of visa forms before interview?

I don't remember saying that. Read step 8 again.
It is a summarised guidline and not an epistle. 2ndly you do not expect me to write every single thing here like "remember to brush your teeth in the morning before going for visa interview".
As to whether there is visa fees or filling of form please sir use google or visit the embassy website or ask others, I do not spoonfeed people.

good evening all
I recently booked an appointment for certification of document via the online booking system and the confirmation e-mail came in german language. I am supposed to take the printed email with me and I hope that the fact that it's in german language will not affect anything. thanks [i]good evening all

I have a feeling you booked the wrong thing. I had same issue once. Maybe you clicked on the "continue" under visa.
Click on "continue" under legal and consular affairs

You can use AXA Mansard (about 23k) or AIICO (about 25k). It will last for the first six months of your stay over there.

futurewise11:



Welcome to Germany....come here and succeed...you will be ask basic question at Point of entry in Germany...have your admission letter and DB details handy.

You can use flixbus from the airport to your city...its cheaper compare to train.

Basic questions like what please? Cuz I will be leaving in two weeks time.
Also, which city you at? thanks.

How did you know this?

Please, do DHL need letter of authorization before picking up passport from German Consulate. I've submitted my passport for the past two weeks and I've not heard anything from DHL. I wrote them this morning and they told me that I have to give them letter of authorization. Have anyone done that?

Don't understand this cos I thought the embassy sends it via the self-addressed envelope you submitted.

chrisley024:

I just used it...last week.

The question is if embassy have released it to them

Good day all,

Please, just few questions:

- whats the best and easiest way to make payment to uni-assist, i was at the bank today and i was told that i must have a dorm account to transfer. Also its stated on uni-assist that nigerian issued cards aint accepted.
- is it a must to have student insurance before booking for the interview
- lastly, how long does it take to get a response from the embassy after the interview

Thank you.

I was reading through the old thread and came across this message by Eke40seven on Nov 18 2014 and it hurts to still realize that the trend is still the same till now.

Eke40seven :
Your question brings us back to what we are really missing on this thread...I don't know if am gonna step on toes, but the feedback available after getting visa is really poor. People just tend to gain from something and NEVER give back.
Back to you Brother without elaborating much because of some confidential details...one thing about the southern States like Munich is that they are quite expensive in terms of accommodation and cost of living but there is more than enough job to go round...the Bavarian accent too is something else but there are quite a number of English speakers...If you want a metropolitan life Munich in the south will give it to you..there are other smaller (relative) southern cities which are less expensive but still good. e.g Nuremberg, Fürth, Ingolstadt, Augsburg, Würzburg, all in Bavaria and Stuttgart, Reutlingen, Heilbronn in Baden Württemberg. Hamburg in the north is not as rich as the south, but its a great metropolis one can survive in although relatively colder but with a clearer accent.
The thing you should consider as a new migrant I think is to know where you know someone so that you can settle better and more easily then may be move on when you have found your bearing.
PM ogbeche77 , he schools in Munich and should be able to give you a more detailed description. While you are at it, you can register with toytown-germany and look up similar questions or ask about your city of interest if the people there can help with information (note that people there are not the street hustling type and their view may be 'buttered' kind of)
My 2 cowries!
*****************************************************
I want to make some truthful comments, in respect to people who had crossed over excluding those who are just settling and finding their bearing. Most have really gained from the combined wisdom of this thread, travel dreams and aspirations which have been nurtured right to the extent of leaving the shores of the nation but after that people tend to just easily forget the thread and never come to add from their experiences after gaining from others... which is rather exploitative and selfish or will I say snobbish..There was a thread on german student's survival, none hardly visit but look at the UK's equivalent, very very vibrant and great ideas are shared.
How I just wish I had my visa already I could have revived it or at least carry on from where they stopped. I understand that study could be intense and hustle demanding, but if all that were on this thread and left successfully for Germany spends just 10 minutes a week to post something, this thread would be the best by far.
I hail those ogas who visit from time to time though.
I hail some selfless dudes like Naijaobi (who has been present from page 2or 3) Beebee5000, Kelly4top, junipro and some others who show up from time to time.
Just saying something as short and meaningless as "Rostock is quite a cold and interesting place" can inspire someone out there as someone also inspired you when you didn't even know what a certified copy is.
This thread was inspired by suxes2005 by just mere observation that getting german visa was relatively easy and that simple post have helped so many either directly or indirectly.
Well, ama introduce the 'Eke40seven meets.... on german JJC moments', a sorta interview for new comers to Germany.
..........coming soon

I know why many don't come back and contribute regularly and as for the bolded above,abeg whoever wrote that aint know nadda

Hello house.. I've been following in ghost mode and I must confess that I've learnt a lot here..

But I've got a concern

I read in part one of his thread that u need 1.8m in naira for the blocked German bank account.. But that post was supposedly in 2012
So since there things have changed a lot wit exchange rate.. How much does one need to deposit now in naira equivalent?

I know the information is there in German embassy website, but I want a first hand experience from a recent applicant

It depends on current exchange rate. Starting from 3.5m will do I think

Thank you.

1. When you are ready to pay for Uni-assist, make it known here. There are guys already in Germany who will help you pay while you transfer Naira equivalent to their account. If you actually read pages back you will see some stating they should be contacted for Uni-assist payment.
2. NO

3. Why don't you get to that bridge to cross it? No point asking this when you don't even have an admission letter. Haba!

Cheers

Some weeks ago,you needed 4 million. 3.5 will work now cos of Form A and exchange rate getting better. It's better one deals with the Euro amount then when you are ready to pay, find out based on current exchange rate.

Are you talking about the travel insurance you buy to pick up your Visa in Nigeria? If yes then it's misleading to say it will be used in Germany as a regular health insurance. I believe the moment you arrive you will need to get a Real Health insurance by a German provider.
What you buy here is just 'travel insurance'

Cheers.
