I've dreamt of a day like this where like others I will post what you're about to read below.

The journey started in May last year but was truncated when I wasn't able to get an appointment with the consulate.

In December I got appointment date but admission letter was delayed and that also was lost.

April this year I applied to several schools and got early admission in June, and interview date for August 16th. I funded and the interview went alright... (by the way it's the lady on dread that interviewed).

After 4weeks and 1 day. My AM arrived. 7:13am... While in still on my bed. Lol.

All thanks goes to Jehovah for His undeserved kindness.

Thank you to all who have helped me in one way or the other... Wishing you all the very best.

City: Kaiserslautern
Interview date: 16th August
Funded before interview
AM: 17th Sept

Congratulations bro

Re: General German Student Visa Enquiries Part 5 by Adeomam: 2:13pm On Sep 17, 2018
For the umpteenth time, this post is for those people who refuse to read but yet keep asking the same questions over and over and over again!!! And they'll never stop asking these questions, which is very annoying by the way!

Part 4 is here https://www.nairaland.com/modifypost?post=58760455&redirect=%2F3941544%2Fgeneral-german-student-visa-enquiries%2358760455

For newbies your German school search starts here https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/en

The following steps will help newbies (Thanks to CassieV for the tips)


Most of the schools in Germany are tuition free even for international students, you only get to pay a certain amount as semester fees say between 100-400 euros and most times the semester fee comes with a semester ticket to aid in transportation in your city or town.
However, before you're granted a student visa, you have to prove that you can take care of your living expenses with one of the following means ;
1. Block account: The estimated living expenses for a student in a month is 720euros, when you multiply that by 12 months, you get 8640euros. This is the amount you're required to block in an already opened account with either Deutsch bank, Fintiba or Xpatrio. It is called a block account because you will not be able to withdraw everything at once, only 720euros will be released to you every month.
2. Sponsorship letter: If you have a relative living and working legally in Germany, they can get you this letter. They'll have to visit the alien office in their city and will be required to provide some documents and pay a certain fee. The letter will be sent to you when they receive it so that you can go with it for your visa interview.
3. Scholarship: This is usually the best if you have the scholarship, your visa will be granted in under 2 weeks after interview. So try and look for scholarships you can apply to.

Now that you understand the financial situation, let's go into the application process.
To search for schools, click on this link
https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/?p=l&q=&fos=0&lang[]=2&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list
filter your search to make it easier, there are English taught courses there.
Generally, the very important documents needed to apply to schools in Germany are;
1. Transcript
2. English Proficiency
3. School Certificates (Degree, Waec, etc)
However, depending on the school, some other documents needed are as follows.
4. Curriculum Vitae
5. Motivation letter
6. Reference letters
7. GRE test
8. Etcetera.. Visit your prospective school website and find out the documents they need from you.
Note: You don't apply with your original documents, you have to make photocopies of them and Certify them in High court or a Notary public. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the German Embassy too. You'll have to book appointment for that.
For those planning to go for a Bachelors course, you need a 100level transcript from a university to apply for a BSc program in germany. WAEC alone will not be enough and No, OND will not do, you need a HND.

For the application proper, it is always important to go through the website of the schools you want to apply to, you'll get a lot of information form there concerning how to apply. Some schools do only online applications, some requires that you send your application documents to them by post after applying online, some you send your documents as pdf to their email address and then you get the uni assist crew.
Like I said earlier, it is important to go visit and read the websites.

When you get your admission letter, open a block account immediately(that is if you don't already have a sponsorship letter) and as soon as you get your account details, send an email to the embassy requesting for a visa interview date.
You need these to get an interview date:
1. Admission letter
2. Block account/sponsorship letter/scholarship letter
3. International passport data page(scanned)
Then your Full name and Resident address.

Prepare for your interview
Go for your interview

Hello Nairalanders,
So I had my interview last week and while on the queue, the lady in front of me informed me of this forum. I have been following the thread and testimonies and from what I read, I think I made a mistake on my visa form data. I ticked "NO" in the place where they asked, "do you intend to maintain your permanent residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany, and if so, where?" and I think it should be yes. Please what's the implication of this mistake, I need to know... My interview went really well and I'm heading to University of Applied Sciences, Fulda plus I already funded. Thank you.

People on this thread have claimed to have used online printout and have been successful with it.

Note you're also providing waec/neco scratch card to prove the authenticity of whichever document you present. It's left to the person inquiring to make his decision from the options you and the other guy provided him.

You can check private housing at wg-gesucht.de If u see a good offer there, u can take and forget studierendenwerk or probably switch to school dorm when they offer you a room. Be careful with the private housing sha, some of them can be fraudulent.
