Those of you blaming justwise, If you guys do not know the implication of what happened, I'll explain.

Someone came here with the name "CoracleNG", a freshly opened account and started consoling guys who in the past had had bad experiences with Coracle.

Judging by the way fraud has been on the increase these recent times, isn't it logical that such an account should be banned until further clarity has been given. Isn't is possible that one day, he might start receiving or soliciting BA money to start assisting people here?

I think it's good he got banned. Even if he wishes to calm the dissapointed fellows here and further advertise themselves, he can direct them to the company's official website.

People's life savings of over 4 mill are at stake! Nairaland is a very informal environment. If he wishes to lay an impact, let him do it more officially in their own website moreover, it is their own inadequacies that guys are running away from. Whose fault is it?

I still stand that CoracleNG is a fake account until proven otherwise.

SOME USEFUL TIPS
If you are having doubts about maybe the embassy saw/read your sent e-mails or not in instances like- sending of confirmation of BA, making inquiries concerning visa delay or other inquiries at alien offices of your intended cities. You can use google mailtrack to track your e-mails (Gmail users only), whenever the embassy or any individual read your emails, it will show a double tick and number of times your email was read and a single tick if it has not been read (you get notification for this, you can disable if you want to).

http://help.mailtrack.io/customer/en/portal/articles/1385608-installing-mailtrack

That is the link to setup google mail track on PC. Note that you have to install google chrome on PC and send the email (gmail) from google chrome but you can check with mobile after sending if it has been read. There are also android mobile set up which i am not very conversant with but for iPhone users, simply download Track - Email Tracking (the app icon is a green capital T ), install and follow up instructions. you can send messages to your friends to test it.

Futhermore, for people coming this winter, Buy Jeans in 9ja, there are some good stores in 9ja with good thick jeans, One low quality jean is 29 euros up here, except you are OBO. Budget about 50-100 euros for good and warm winter jacket, I believe the one you are bringing here is just for warm up, when real cold sets in, Omo nobody will tell you to buy correct one lol, gloves and money for winter shoes esp for places that snows heavily, it doesn't really snow in Berlin compared to Munchen. Get ready to buy thick Duvet. Sometimes you have to close eyes and buy good stuffs, and stop converting to naira when you wanna buy stuffs, it helps sometimes. If you are coming around November to December, you have to get some warm wears from 9ja, else you will perish in cold from the airport. Get 2 mouth extension, change your laptop cable to 2 mouth (not the powerpack, you know what i mean), bring bed spread and curtain, clipper, flashdrive, bring flipflops, liquids are not allowed on the plane but some people travelled with palm oil (make sure to tie it very well and wrap it), if you are using BA, come wit about 400-500 before you unblock, if you are using SL, budget about 2k for the first 4 months depending on the city and expenses, remember you start spending euros from the airport. Don't bring unnecessary stuffs like rice, spag, salt, sugar. Bring garri and noodles and condiments like maggi and curry.

That temporary warms/hoodie from 9ja is very important. I could remember the day I landed at the airport, before coming out of the plane, This German girl i was talking to from the connecting flight started to bring out her winter jacket, I didn’t know whatsup up then, coming out of the plane, see this mad cold breeze that blew, immediately I started shaking because I was juss wearing a top and a soft sweater, big boy hand drop ASAP, as I was breathing, it was like I was smoking due to the smoke-like air coming from my mouth (I don’t know how else to define, nobody told me the cold was like this). Then the bus that will take us to immigration came, all the irons in the bus was damn cold, I was seriously shaking, I was looking like a rain-beaten cat, this German girl offered me her jacket, unfortunately it was small and feminine. We got our loads, it was a little bit warm inside immigration, after we got out, immediately I open my big box, I brought out two reinforcements (still not enough but okay). Luckily for me, the girl’s mom came dropped me off at the main train station which was about 20 minutes drive from the airport, that saved me some stress. it is always the best when you have somebody to meet you at the airport(like a friend or family in the city you are heading to if it has an international airport). If you have money, there are drops at the airport

For Travels and movement in DE: Download the DB Navigator for general travels (Train, buses, Tram, etc.) and if you are coming to Berlin, download the BVG Farhinfo app (its shows you the fastest route and how to navigate easily) along with the DB navigator. I will say google maps is mostly important for directions on short distances and to know durations of long and short distance travels as well. It is important to have mobile internet on your phone if you are new to a place and going out. There is also FlixBus, it is like a subsidized bus travels mainly from cities to cities and to some EU countries.

For residence permit- for cities where you have to wait about 1 month before you get your card, and that is after 1-2 months before you get appointment in some cases, and you know you need work to survive, you can ask your RP officer on the day of your appointment to give you a temporary work permit, it is like an A4 paper with all your details including passport photo and it will be stamped, the paper will state that you had applied for a RP and the type of permit you will get including the number of days you can work which is 120 full day or 240 half days in a year. First thing first is to get an accommodation which is a prerequisite for city registration and issuance of a RP.

For health insurance, its a 2 way thing, the school will say public health insurance if you are not up to 30 years and private if you are more than 30, my guys not up to 30 years are using Mawista 33 euros monthly and it was accepted. Don't know how they did that but you can make inquiry from your school. TK and AOK is around 107 euros monthly. But public is better than private, if you fall off a bicycle or get hit by a car or have a serious ailment, the public like AOK pays everything but if you are using private, you will pay yourself at first and the private will reimburse some back depending on your insurance subscription with them which you must provide proofs for and trust me, and trust me these treatments are expensive.

And lastly, learn the language while you can, in big cities like Frankfurt, Munchen, Berlin, you might not really need it but in small cities, man you mostly need it to get a job at least A2 level. In all, you need the language to be open to more opportunities.
if you will be staying in Bremen, Stuttgart, Rastatt or areas closer there or if you have friends living there that you can stay with, you can always apply for vacation job at Daimler Mercedes-Benz, for working students, they pay 15 euros per hour and you get to work 35-39 hours weekly depending on your contract (Do the Math) and you cant combine it with school work, thats why its called vacation jobs.

Also, make sure to always check weather reports before going out because the weather is always funny. Android users download The Weather Channel app from play store, it is auto installed on iPhone.

Downloading of movies, and some games w/ copyright are illegal here, a German bro was fined 13,000 euros for movies download... imagine they fine you that one, you don die be that!!

ALL THE BEST GUYS!!

First, is there doubt in you that it may not be a strong travel purpose (maybe because it's relatively uncommon)?. If you can convince yourself by creating a great impulse/necessity for this; then you can go ahead.

Hence, you will need to apply for a short stay Visa and must demonstrate you have sufficient funds to cater for your expenses within the period of stay (and other conditions for Short stay Visa in Shengen countries for the relevant purpose, fulfilled)

There must be a *Strong family tie*, eg. a job contract showing a well paying job, married- with kids etc.ie to convincingly demonstrate that you must return after the visit.

*Travel history*- If you are well travelled, you may also stand a better chance to pull through. By "well-travelled" I mean to say that you 've travelled to a/some key European or American country(ies). It would be easier to convince your Vo/Local Authority than someone with a virgin passport.

These are few things i think you may have to consider on your own, first; before you even start to dey reason am.

I also advise you make it a family affair; rather than just a personal stuff. In other words, family input would be necessary.
.. and many more.

But come to think of it; haven't she got some friends, work colleague, maybe partner in Germany before her demise? Don't you think their input would add flesh to it?
If it's thinkable, it's doable then.
#stay blessed.

Really informative, thanks.

kunletoks:


Insurance is mandatory in Germany. You can check TK insurance and see if you are eligible for student insurance which could be cheaper.
If you work and being taxed, then you have to pay full insurance.

I'm using TK and it is not cheap 104 euro.

HighPriest0:


I'm using TK and it is not cheap 104 euro.

justwise:


How do you know that he sent me an email?

davide470:
The person that sent you the email is working from the Hamburg office and i know him.

Don't take my word for it. You can confirm too.

His words - Over the last few months, students have been having issues with getting their confirmation and the account was opened to help them get things fast-tracked, "as a Naija person"

Fascinating

Good day sir , I'm.Eboda samuel, Im following a thread(part 7) on nairaland about german student Visa. I'm sorry for texting upi this way, please I'd to know more about the German student Visa, and what does someone has to do to study in Germany. I'm a newbie and I literally doesn't have any knowledge about it and I would know to do my MSC in Germany, please help.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Those of you blaming justwise, If you guys do not know the implication of what happened, I'll explain.

Someone came here with the name "CoracleNG", a freshly opened account and started consoling guys who in the past had had bad experiences with Coracle.

Judging by the way fraud has been on the increase these recent times, isn't it logical that such an account should be banned until further clarity has been given. Isn't is possible that one day, he might start receiving or soliciting BA money to start assisting people here?

I think it's good he got banned. Even if he wishes to calm the dissapointed fellows here and further advertise themselves, he can direct them to the company's official website.

People's life savings of over 4 mill are at stake! Nairaland is a very informal environment. If he wishes to lay an impact, let him do it more officially in their own website moreover, it is their own inadequacies that guys are running away from. Whose fault is it?

I still stand that CoracleNG is a fake account until proven otherwise.

very true...The guy no suppose dey nl at all.
I now ask you the question you asked me a while back
So you still think the coracle guy wasn't real?

madenigga:
So The German embassy did not reset there data base again.

People who booked before October still have active bookings, why did they mislead us with such wrong information on there embassy site.

it depends on your start date i used October as my start date so automatically I need to rebook but if December is your start date no need rebooting u still have 2 months before ur deadline

Words of advice guys!

Run away from coracle....you can use them for insurance. but for blocking is noooo.

This dumbfucks almost ruined my visa application if not for God. Now, I'm in Germany to release funds is another problem.... Pecky has been here for more than two weeks now and they have not unblocked her account yet.
I believe they are using peoples money for business.... Damn.

I no know the winch wey mek me use dem...

Imagine say I no carry extra money com, wetin I for do?

Nonsense people

Sammynelson061:
Good day sir , I'm.Eboda samuel,

Go to the first page of this thread and start reading. All the information you need is there.

[quote author=davide470 post=83171463]Hi Justwise,

CoracleNG sent you a mail regarding their ban. That is actually their official handle on Nairaland.

I know the German Visa officers will soon join this thread too Naija people I hail ooo!!!

*Travel history*- If you are well travelled, you may also stand a better chance to pull through. By "well-travelled" I mean to say that you 've travelled to a/some key European or American country(ies). It would be easier to convince your Vo/Local Authority than someone with a virgin passport.

These are few things i think you may have to consider on your own, first; before you even start to dey reason am.

I also advise you make it a family affair; rather than just a personal stuff. In other words, family input would be necessary.
.. and many more.

But come to think of it; haven't she got some friends, work colleague, maybe partner in Germany before her demise? Don't you think their input would add flesh to it?
If it's thinkable, it's doable then.
#stay blessed.

SOME USEFUL TIPS
If you are having doubts about maybe the embassy saw/read your sent e-mails or not in instances like- sending of confirmation of BA, making inquiries concerning visa delay or other inquiries at alien offices of your intended cities. You can use google mailtrack to track your e-mails (Gmail users only), whenever the embassy or any individual read your emails, it will show a double tick and number of times your email was read and a single tick if it has not been read (you get notification for this, you can disable if you want to).

http://help.mailtrack.io/customer/en/portal/articles/1385608-installing-mailtrack

That is the link to setup google mail track on PC. Note that you have to install google chrome on PC and send the email (gmail) from google chrome but you can check with mobile after sending if it has been read. There are also android mobile set up which i am not very conversant with but for iPhone users, simply download Track - Email Tracking (the app icon is a green capital T ), install and follow up instructions. you can send messages to your friends to test it.

Futhermore, for people coming this winter, Buy Jeans in 9ja, there are some good stores in 9ja with good thick jeans, One low quality jean is 29 euros up here, except you are OBO. Budget about 50-100 euros for good and warm winter jacket, gloves and money for winter shoes esp for places that snows heavily, it doesn't really snow in Berlin compared to Munchen. Get ready to buy thick Duvet. Sometimes you have to close eyes and buy good stuffs, and stop converting to naira when you wanna buy stuffs, it helps sometimes. If you are coming around November to December, you have to get some warm wears from 9ja, else you will perish in cold from the airport. Get 2 mouth extension, change your laptop cable to 2 mouth (not the powerpack, you know what i mean), bring bed spread and curtain, clipper, flashdrive, bring flipflops, liquids are not allowed on the plane but some people travelled with palm oil (make sure to tie it very well and wrap it), if you are using BA, come wit about 400-500 before you unblock, if you are SL, budget about 2k for the first 4 months depending on the city, remember you start spending euros from the airport. Don't bring unnecessary stuffs like rice, spag, salt, sugar. Bring garri and noodles and condiments like maggi and curry.

For Travels and movement in DE: Download the DB Navigator for general travels (Train, buses, Tram, etc.) and if you are coming to Berlin, download the BVG Farhinfo app (its shows you the fastest route and how to navigate easily. I will say google maps is mostly important for directions on short distances and to know durations of long and short distance travels as well. It is important to have mobile internet on your phone if you are new to a place and going out. There is also FlixBus, it is like a subsidized bus travels mainly from cities to cities and to some EU countries.

For residence permit- for cities where you have to wait about 1 month before you get your card, and that is after 1-2 months before you get appointment in some cases, and you know you need work to survive, you can ask your RP officer on the day of your appointment to give you a temporary work permit, it is like an A4 paper with all your details including passport photo and it will be stamped, the paper will state that you had applied for a RP and the type of permit you will get including the number of days you can work which is 120 full day or 240 half days in a year. First thing first is to get an accommodation which is a prerequisite for city registration and issuance of a RP.

For health insurance, its a 2 way thing, the school will say public health insurance if you are not up to 30 years and private if you are more than 30, my guys not up to 30 years are using Mawista 33 euros monthly and it was accepted. Don't know how they did that but you can make inquiry from your school. TK and AOK is around 107 euros monthly. But public is better than private, if you fall off a bicycle or get hit by a car or have a serious ailment, the public like AOK pays everything but if you are using private, you will pay yourself at first and the private will reimburse some back depending on your insurance subscription with them which you must provide proofs for and trust me, and trust me these treatments are expensive.

And lastly, learn the language while you can, in big cities like Frankfurt, Munchen, Berlin, you might not really need it but in small cities, man you mostly need it to get a job at least A2 level. In all, you need the language to be open to more opportunities.
if you will be staying in Bremen, Stuttgart, Rastatt or areas closer there or if you have friends living there that you can stay with, you can always apply for vacation job at Daimler Mercedes-Benz, for working students, they pay 15 euros per hour and you get to work 35-39 hours weekly depending on your contract (Do the Math) and you cant combine it with school work, thats why its called vacation jobs.
