Hi, you need to book for certification at Abuja embassy too, as it's also compulsory.
For Fintiba bank, just follow the instructions on their website, you don't need to go the embassy to open the blocked account, everything is done online.
Good luck!

You cannot use a diploma certificate because based on the anabin requirements schools You are required to turn in your 100 level certificate.I think you'll probably use 200lvl but contact the university you are considering they'll shed more light on this

At the moment with 3.7 million naira, you should be able to make use of Form A, if out of Form A period, then parallel market rate will prevail and that at this moment could easily be in the north of 4 million.

Cheers.

Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Fikky2016: 1:02pm On Apr 19, 2017
Good Aftun to you all,
please guys I need help about funding my block account, I just got admission Stuttgart university,

On the German embassy website I saw two options,
1. opening a block account through Dutch bank
2. Using online platform called fintiba
Details are here...
Www.fintiba.com
Www.nigeria.diplo.de

The fintiba solution was developed for foreign students so as to reduce the bottle neck of opening account through the Dutch bank, faster and easier as stated.

So please is there any body that have used the fintiba solution ?
I mean someone that have first hand experience with it. ?
Thanks.

Part 1

Hi Guys,

As promised and according to the tradition which I've gained so much from, This story may be lengthy, hence I'll be writing in part because of the little time I have. Nevertheless, I'll try my best to finish it in order to motivate someone out there who's about to give up about the German movement.

It all started in 2012 when I visited the Austrian thread. Austria being a tuition free country, I decided to scoop some schools and at the end, a certain University gave me per-admission for Msc Communication networks but on the condition of coming to Austria to write a test and also attend an Interview. I started inquiries into the process about going to Austria, but I was quickly informed about Legalization.. I thought about the money, stress of going to Abuja to certify all my documents, and also the horrible stories about "Bribing" at the Ministry of Education. All these really got me pissed up. At this juncture, I just "Trolled" into the German student thread and I decided to read from Part 1 on a certain weekend. It was during this read up I encountered post from many Ogas them.. Like TopeAjis, Godson, suxes2005, Futurewise, Justwise, Kelly4top and a host of others. I remembered seeing Honorouble Seyi Post on a constant basis and I thought he was an Honourable in the house... lol smiley

Fastforward to 2014, the real process got started and I applied for IELTS, made up my mind to attend Goethe and attain at least A2 in order to settle in well and faster with the new environment. 2015 started and we got down into business. First, I did the IELTS exam and had a very good score. Attended Goethe at Lagos Island up to A2. I also met some wonderful guys and girls during this language course. It was during this period I met Kennysogun, Fapper, Promise and host of others. The application window opened and I applied to as many schools as I wanted. and on the 30th June, I got the first real denial from Hochschule Mannheim and I was like.. "What the F***". Infact, almost all the Nigerian student that applied to that same course were deinied and we were like "This one na Gobe oo". We never relent and we kept firing in more schools and at the end, the admission letter came rolling in.

At this juncture, I knew the real work has started. from blocked account opening, to raising money for the blocked account. and this was during President Jonathan Era when Euros was 215 and the maximum was 235 naira/Euros by Union Bank. I hurriedly applied for account opening, and afterwards a Visa Interview. I was scheduled for August 12th, 2015. Prior to the day, I have read so much about the interview and was well prepared. The great day came, Mr paulinus was always at his duty scrutinizing and scolding people. I just observed all protocols and respectfully went in for the interview. I was interviewed by the Chinese looking woman who asked me series of questions. At some point, she was curious to know how I've learnt so much about the German system. I was feeling like an Hero and was I like...I don catch you today... lol. Just send me the necessary email and we'll be fine. The next day, I got the email:

Dear Sir,

your visa application has been received.
Please note that, in order to complete your application, we are still in need of a confirmation by Deutsche Bank stating that the required amount has been credited to your blocked account. Kindly submit this confirmation as soon as you have it.
You are welcome to send the document as an e-mail attachment (.pdf)!.


Much to my relief, I felt the first stage was done and the ball lies in my court. I hustled hard, struggled harder for the money to come but no way. Lots of promise and fail from people whom I've placed so much trust in. Despite getting consecutive emails reminder from the embassy asking for blocked account confirmation in order to pick my visa. The most painful aspect was the fact that I needed just 350k to balance the remaining blocked account that year. At the end, I felt so pained, couple of tears dropped to my cheecks knowing fully well that some people out there will be in the club spending this same amount.. But them no send me message nah.... ehehe. Finally, I picked myself up and decided to withdraw the visa Application. took up a job with a German firm in Lagos where I fortunately met all the Visa officers..... To be continued !

Stay Glued !!!

Also, if the Preliminary review documentation is received from Uni-assist after the application as already been sent to the university, can a soft copy be emailed to the school or its a must it as to be sent through postal again..

Thank you.
