I said already that i decide finally on Germany.


the process is this,
1. Earlier on the thread i posted a link to a portal where you all can have access to Austria universities
2. once you have gotten a school. you review there requirements and ensure you have the available documents.
before you send your documents to the respective schools, you must have your documents authenticated and legalized only by the Austrian embassy in Nigeria. Note that before the legalization and the Authentication at the embassy you have to first and foremost certify each of the documents at the Federal Ministry of Education as well as the Federal Ministry of foreign affairs all in Abuja.

For the Legalization process at the embassy.
the first step is going with all the documents that you have certified at the Ministries to the embassy, you have to pay a fee of 120 thousand naira, then asked to go home the form you filled for the verification will you to go to the places your documents were gotten to verify them and also your family too to make sure all your information provided to them are accurate, they do this through a lawyer they hire. once the verification is completed and all documents and information is accurate you will be asked to come for the legalization of with for each document you will need to pay 40 euros.

until the end of this whole process can you be able to send your documents to the school, then hope to get admitted.

pitapromiz:
Send me a PM. .. I guess email and contact exchange is not allowed on this platform.

Sorry guys... I started the thread but now Germany took over.

Arrived Germany on the 11th of Oktober.

I can't compare the two countries and processes.

Follow your dream!!!!

Little info for those still on Austria.... from my correspondence with the Austrian embassy,
I was told that my Uncle is UK with his Passport (uk), proof of employment, pays lip and account statement and letter written by him for sponsorship it is okay.

However what I hated about the process is the legalization... who will spend more than 120k for an admission you are not so sure of getting.... verification process... your whole village may find out you are traveling.

Emmanuelosa:

You can decide to look for admission before legalizing or do it the other way round,... Both ways work,..

So firstly gather all documents that is required by the school then also gather all the documents that is required by the embassy;
- birth certificate,
- declaration of age,
- letter/Affidavit of sponsorship (if you're being sponsored),
- police character certificate,
- state of origin certificate,
- primary/secondary school certificate,
- testimonials,
- transcript,
- all school cert.

Firstly take all your educational documents to the ministry of education, (WAEC, transcript, primary school cert. All school certificates,.. Then at the entrance of the ministry of education purchase a waec scratch card,.. Take everything to the eight floor of the building....(to cut the description short, you can ask around for help on what to do),... P.S Remember to request for an eligibility letter(its not always necessary)

Proceeding to the next step which is taking all your educational documents that you have previously authenticated at the min. Of edu. And all the remaining required documents, to the min. Of foreign affairs,... Then authenticate Them also,..

After authentication, take all those documents to the embassy,.. Before then, you must have previously downloaded their verification form(Questionnaire) online, then fill it and take it with you to the embassy. P.S: you'd book an appointment online using their online booking system before heading to the embassy on the date giving to you.

After you arrive at the embassy, follow all their procedures and get to the counter, submit all your documents and pay the verification fee,.. Which was 200,000 as at the time of writing,...

After that, wait for a lawyer to contact you,.. (it may take up to three months maximum,) P.S: the further away the origin of your documents are, the longer the verification time.

After the lawyer contacts you, and does interview for you and your parent/guardian, he will go to each and every one of the locations where all your documents were gotten from to verify them, even to the lowest detail(so all documentation must be authentic and gotten legally: because it can delay the process and cause you to pay another 200,000....

After the lawyer is done with the verification, he will take he's report to the embassy and inform them, then they will call you and tell you the particular documents they have issues with, but if not they'll set a date for you to come and legalize them,.. P.S: Even if there's an issue with any of your documents you can still legalize the remaining ones..

After you've gone to the embassy and paid their legalization fees, which was 80 Euros as at the time of writing, they would either tell you to wait for it that day or come back the next day for it..

After you're done with the whole thing,.. You will send your legalized documents to the school you applied to, or is planning on applying to... in any ways they request it(Email/post-mail),.. Then they will send you the admission letter.

You'd take the letter and your proof of accommodation, also get insurance from the recommended insurance firms,... And also take all your documents plus a fully filled residency form to the embassy,... Having booked a date with the embassy using email not their online booking system,....

Follow all the normal procedures again, when you get to the embassy, Submit all your documents to the counter,.. Follow all their instructions,.. Take your finger print and the screening and either you're told to wait for an interview or given another date...

After the interview wait for the embassy to contact you,.. P.S: (it might take up to a month), You can also contact them to ask for the status of the application,.. i.e: if its taken longer than expected.

They will contact you via email,.. For the approval status,.. And tell you to come to the embassy to collect your documents.

After you've gotten your documents back from them,.. You can begin planning your trip..

When you get to Austria you'd have to go and get your resident permit card,..

Will be glad if you can help on it...

Won't mind having your mail

Emmanuelosa:

What particular issues do you have, concerning the affidavit,... and also, you can send me an email, I respond almost immediately.

IMustWin:
Applied to 2 schools in Austria(JKU and AAU) since April, but I'm yet to even receive a mail from them. Its that how they are so slow in processing admission? Na wa

Emmanuelosa:

Am sure you know that currently, there's a pandemic affecting the EU,..and also if you check well, there would be a section were the school apologize for the time they would take in responding to your application due to the pandemic..so no rush,...
