Donnieben1: Hello guys, I'm here to share my whole admission to visa experience on this German waka. I hope this lightens the mood here because I know the mood around here is down .
So I've been on my German journey since late 2018, I tried applying to many schools for Msc admission and got loads of rejection which dampened my mood but I decided I was not going to relent. So all through 2019 I was seeking admissions in public schools and I wasn't getting any, I guess because my course of study was in high demand (Data science) which requires the best Bsc result.
In the midst of this rejection offers I decided not to relent and was a follower of this German visa thread on nairaland. I began to notice that even with admission letters, appointment letters at the Embassy was not forthcoming and so I decided to leave Nigeria.
Early this year I decided on moving to Turkey, with the aim of staying six months and then moving to Germany, at this point I had no German admission yet but I decided on pursuing it. I came to Turkey in March and during the whole lockdown I started looking out for more schools to apply to in Germany.
My plan was very simple, I would come to Turkey , stay for six months with their residence permit and then apply for German visa after getting admission to Germany. So, I was sending applications here and there while I was in Turkey here and BOOM I finally got an admission to one of the best schools in Germany (top 10 percent worldwide). At this point I already had my Turkish resident permit and was waiting for my six months to complete before I apply for the German study visa at the Embassy here.
Finally, the six months elapsed, and then I began the visa application process which was very simple and fine .
The Process here in Turkey is very simple:
1. They have a third-party body (iData) that you book visa appointments through. 2. You pay about 69 Turkish lira which is an equivalent of (4500 naira) and then they tell you in two weeks you'll get an appointment to go to the Embassy. Mine came in 9 days. 3. They sent me the required documents and everything I needed to take to the Embassy which was not a problem at all. Required documents were blocked account confirmation ( I used expatrio), health insurance which expatrio provides, original copy of your degree certificate, visa application form and biometric passport photographs and most importantly 75 euros and motivation letter. 4. And so I went to the Embassy, guys it was very smooth there.. no stress whatsoever. I got to the Embassy on time . Had a wait time of 20 minutes and then it was time to talk to the visa officer. 5. The interview questions were smooth though plenty, I advice for preparation and calmness. So at the end of the interview the visa officer told me I will be given a visa decision in 4-6 weeks and so I left. 6. Guys, exactly one week after my visa interview , I received a call from the Embassy that my passport and other documents are being shipped by UPS and they are calling to confirm my home address. I responded accordingly and they said in 2 - 3 days I will receive my documents. 7. I am glad to say I received my passport with the visa stamped.
I can say I am ready to travel to Germany and start a new phase in my life..
Cheers Everyone!! For everyone still trying and hoping to leave Nigeria for Germany or anywhere else, I believe everyone's dreams and wishes will come to pass. Please reply your mail, I wanna reach out to you. 1 Like |

What do u guys think.... should I go for the interview and what if they refused me entry for that? Is there any official document(s) from the bank stating you’ve actually made the payment but they are the one delaying the reflection or something like that. If something like that is available, you can try at least its better that just saying you’ve paid with ordinary mouth. Maybe your deposit slip or any proof show the blocked account you paid to. I wish you all the good luck you deserve. 1 Like |

What do u guys think.... should I go for the interview and what if they refused me entry for that? The only loss would be you not going at all... You should go...maybe take along your deposit slip and maybe your bank statement too, to show that the fund has been moved, and where it was moved... Take along your blocked account details too... In fact, every bank document pointing to the transaction should be with you... They should confirm the blocking details themselves... I don't know for sure, I'm only suggesting biko... But the summary is " You should go" 2 Likes |

Re: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by transfer101: 12:09pm On Feb 13, 2021 |
Hey guys,
My issue is quite complex. Kindly advise based on your expertise.
In 2017 I attempted a movement to Germany but I couldn’t proceed due to scarcity of forex at that time. I rescind after sending a mail requesting that they cancel my appointment date as required at that time.
The BSC admission was processed with a 100lvl transcript - with this I gained admission in 6 schools. Because I could not proceed with the travel, I proceeded to study at a university where I eventually got my BSC. An attempt to revive the Germany movement made me realise my Bsc is somewhat useless as it was obtained from a school that Uniassist does not recognise.
The question now is that would it be possible to go for another BSC over there considering that the 100l transcript I have to use was obtained in 2017. If at all is it possible, will I possibly encounter age (27) limitations at either the admission or the embassy level?
Thank you as you advise |

Hi daramolatoye, sorry I just saw your reply now.
Yeah I would also like to apply to Hafencity Uni. And honestly i'm a bit confused as to when the application period starts for most of these German schools. |

What do u guys think.... should I go for the interview and what if they refused me entry for that? Bro.. I'd advise you use Fintiba Transfer Mate.. the chances are slim that'd get blocking account confirmation before your interview. Can you withdraw your funds and use Fintiba TransferMate?? That's like the only feasible option. If not.. just go with all necessary banking documents. You will be favoured. 1 Like |

Fast forward to main deal Firstly, Mr.Paulinus is a nice man if you follow steps and procedures. So just make sure you follow your checklist and arrange all documents according to how it was written on the checklist. Make a colored photocopy of your passport data page so you dontgo and pay #6,000 for wicked people making photocopy at the embassy.
After checking all documents with Oga Paulinus and proper arrangement then you will be directed to the visa section where the main koko start.
Visa section vo: Good morning me: good morning ma
vo: what are you here for: me: i want to apply for student visa
vo: let me have your invitation letter and passport me: i gave them to her. (Note: kindly print your invitation mail along so you dont go and spend urgent #2,000 to print one copy at those commercial printer people in embassy)
vo: let me have your documents me: handed over everything to her
vo: she printed a form out and asked me to sign, and also another form that contains my data. she asked me to verify my data and sign. vo: she checked all the documents and confirm blocking amount. (Note: kindly make sure you fund the account without a kobo left..my 1cent advice
vo: she asked me to take biometric and asked for visa fee 75euro (#35,000 as at the day i paid mine...this can be subjected to change in exchange rate) vo: she quickly printed receipt for me vo: lets start the main interview started
Interview questions You are going for masters in Bremen What are the other city-state in Germany Why are you going for the course Why not Nigeria Tell me what you know about German politics What is the name of chancellor of Germany What is Bundesrat and Bundestag What date is Germany reunification What brought about the reunification Tell me what you know about Germany economy Frank Walter S. is Dr. in which field who was the previous president of Germany before Frank Walter why Germany what are your plans after study do you have any family or relatives in Germany what are you doing currently

Hello.
Does Germany grant international students (Nigerians) fully funded scholarships for undergraduate study? Do you know any school(s) that offer scholarships? I have searched about DAAD, but haven't gotten satisfactory search replies.
