Greetings everyone, please I have a question especially directed to our gurus in DE, much appreciations to you all.

So, I'll be arriving DE in a few days time by God's grace, but I'm coming on a short stay internship program. I already applied to schools and I'm awaiting AL, and I'm wondering if an AL drops while I'm in DE already, will I have to leave and then reapply for student Visa? Or can I just kind of change or elongate my status? Also will I need the blocked account for 1 year, I have one for the duration of my stay already. A lot of questions are in my head, please help.
Thanks again.

You can't elongate your status or do anything. Your visa is for short stay and you can't do change of status in Germany. So, i would advise you to finish your short internship and come back to Nigeria. Then, you can apply for admission in German institutions and process your visa here. German student visa is very straight forward and the success rate is high enough.

Hello, you cannot convert another type of Visa to the Student Visa.
You need to go back to your country to apply for a student visa.
Also, you need to fulfill all requirements to get a student visa so you still need to present a blocked account or sponsorship letter or scholarship.

The only thing I can advise you do now is to open a Deutsche bank since you will already be in Germany.
Although, you need to present an application for admission or an admission letter.

Cheers!

true ,
we are in the same boat, just staying patient till another thread for the next application round is created , meanwhile digesting all the info here. I'm sure as soon as the winter application deadline has passed a new one will be created, it was mentioned some pages back.
for now I'll start with gathering my docs.


All the best to us bro.

This is for you. It's an experience of pompido in kiel.


There are 2 tertiary institutions in Kiel namely Christian Albrechts University and Fachhocschule Kiel (University of Applied Sciences) and both have great quality of education. CAU is the more recognized and highly rated of the 2 (Top 30 in Germany) wink but it is research based, so if this is your forte then by all means. If you are more practically oriented, IT systems development/business management and co that would grill you in readiness for the professional working life, then FH it is. This of course is based on perspective and of course do a proper research about your course of choice and its course contents especially (There can be serious K-Leg if you do the naija style of following the better named courses as them fit shock you when you enter grin).

Both schools are linked and so FH students have access to facilities at CAU like the Library, sports center, fitness center.etc. There is also the semester tickets that cover the whole of Kiel (train, ferries, buses). Only difference is that CAU students get a rebate on the direct bus to Hamburg airport (7euros instead of about 15euros and 12euros for the round trip). FH students have to pay the full charge but that is nothing to worry about because the airport is not a frequent trip and there are alternative ways of going on long trips for really cheap prices.

Housing is kind of reasonable here though it could easily become a nightmare (as moi experienced). The studentenwerk handle student accommodation for both schools and there are cheap to mid-priced rooms available (availability is higher in the summer as there are less applicants and intakes in both universities). Early application is usually the best thing to do but there are also other options that would suffice till one finds right footing.

Working as a student here is just like any city in Germany, available but conditional. Ability to speak the language even if it is the pidgin version (like Williamso would call his) would make things a bit easier. Another thing is that everyone needs to realize that you have to bear your cross and so do your own research, ask questions and talk to people about what you need. For example, when we got to Kiel, we were played all the work stuffs and what we needed to do to start engaging (mostly meant that we would wait a few months). The funny thing is that when men started digging, stuffs that even those we met here didn't know about were available and now they kind of say we came and raised the ginger level. Hustle is usually at its peak in the summer months (In Kiel, the Kieler Woche is it for men ooo, we die well smiley )

Yes, you have to worry about your next renewal as Kiel only gives a year's permit but still egal as you will learn....... (open ended tins)

Abeg bring your food oo,as much as you can carry so you get to ease yourself into the bread/potatoes eating mentality here and of course save yourself some cents by eating in. There are afro-asian stores here so noodles, titus, kote, croaker fishes are available. same with palm oil, plantain, yams et al.

There is a strong Nigerian community here starting with the Nigerian Students' Association to the Nigerians in Kiel Association (them dey host very bad party every December), so you are sure to get all the help you need right from naija.

But trust me, the lady behind the line will end up ruining your day. The first day I called the line, the ladys response almost make me faint. But I be man, I must stand well.

The second day I called, I tought some one else will answer me but low and behold, the same lady. Her response very unprofessional and uncomplimentory.

Why are Nigerians like this?
