Thanks, this is quite helpful. Though I wrote them a mail asking to defer my admission. But I was told deferring admission is no longer possible.

Then start applying for summer semester. Go to DAAD/Wikipedia/Google and search for schools that offer your course for summer semester and start applying. The earlier you apply, the earlier you can get AL and book for AD.

Pcozzy:
Thanks.
What is AM and AD pls?. For us Newbies

AM- Approval mail, mail from the embassy asking you to send your passport for visa
AD- appointment date, date of your student visa interview at the consulate.
To answer your original question;
- before you seek deferment, find out from your school if you can enrol by proxy. Enrollment by proxy means you can do your enrollment while you're still in Nigeria. Once you enrol in a school you're student of that school, therefore you can resume anytime. People resume for winter semester up till December/January (even though winter semester officially starts in October for most schools).
- If your school refuses to allow you enrol by proxy, then you can seek deferment. They will have to issue you a new Admission letter (AL). Once the new AL has been issued then you can book for appointment at the embassy.

Hello good people of this thread.

Please I need recommendations. Are there free Universities in Germany that accept third class graduates for masters or they all have this hard cut-off of 2.5 - 2.7 German grade? Been on google for the past 2 days, but nothing encouraging has been coming out of it. If it's impossible to get masters with a third class, what other options do I have, apart from doing another bachelors?

Please respond to this, I'm quite on the edge already....

Even here in Nigeria you can't do Masters with 3rd class, you have to go do PGD. Therefore don't expect it to be easy in Germany.
Not saying its not possible but keep searching. But if you don't find and you're really interested in Germany, then jejely just do another Bsc.

gbens2000:
hello house, i did my enrollment to postdam few weeks ago, they just message me to pay 296 euros to complete the enrollment and i have just 8 days to pay, after which my i.d card will be sent to me, and i never even get appointment date from embassy yet, abeg what should i do.....

Pay the money oooo, once you enrol in a school you're a student, you can resume any time even up till January. The embassy will still give dates.

Magma012:
Hallo good afternoon.. Please for those in Germany..

What is the probability of difernn your study program after one year of studies for the purpose of learning the German language.

Also how much will it cost to learn it to C1 level.

Urgent answers pls

Learn to C1 in Nigeria first. It's far cheaper apart from the living expenses (BA) language Schools in Germany are very expensive.

ruqeez:
Good afternoon house please my passport will expire less than six months... can I still send it to the embassy like that.. since the new one is taking so long

I think you should work harder on getting a new passport, most embassies will not print visa on a passport less than 6 months to its expiry date. Even if you manage to get visa on the passport, what of your residence permit when you get to Germany? They might not give you because of that.

heleniyan:
Good day sir/ma,

I am Abiola by name, i will like you to put me through how you got deferment letter/approval from LMU.

I was given admission since 5th of June, 2019 for Masters degree program in LMU but I couldn't get Appointment Date at German embassy (Lagos) till date.

Please, I want to mail LMU for deferment too so I can secure the admission that was given to me.

I think you should send a mail to your course coordinator (or whoever sent you your admission letter) and explain your plight to them and ask for deferment.

VISUM ALERT!!!

My story is a very unique one. It's kind of long but I will try to make it as short as possible.


Thanks to everyone, my family first and foremost, my wife especially. Thank you my very good friend that introduced me to Deutschland. Thank you justwise, Eldeee, heybaby, dailydolar, Deustchemann, Fabcol, sassy92, Chriswazo so many people I can't remember their names right now.

For those expecting, your testimony is on the way by God'd grace.

Danke schoen!!!

WOW!!! This is one of the most inspiring testimonies I've ever read
Congratulations!!! Go forth and prosper!!

Lobolintin:
Wow 4million??

Must the sponsor be related me??

The sponsor must not be related to you but the embassy would ask how you are connected to the person.
If you don't have anybody in Germany that can give you SL, just start hustling for the BA.

starboychan:
Thank you for your swift response. Please how can I contact you?

PM me

Lobolintin:
If I no put. Would they still grant me visa.. Coz this block account stuff is making me wana go gaga. I need a guide

Everything about this German waka is on the first page of this thread
- with your HND you can apply for Bsc, go to the daad and search for your course and the schools that offer it
- yes you must provide proof of funds either a blocked account containing €10236 or a sponsorship letter from somebody living and legally working in Germany

Engrphilips:
Environmental Engineering. I did civil engineering in my first degree. Thanks

Is it Environmental engineering for TUM? Then you don't need to upload EPL/English test on Uniassist because you're getting a VPD. VPD is an evaluation of your transcripts and certificates. I'm also applying for the same course you can pm me let's rub minds

dailydolar:
HTW Dresden or TU Dresden

HTW Dresden

OdiEma:
Its actually emvassy regulation to have a means of sustenance before applying for AD.

Yes oo, please for summer applcants and for winter applicants whose AD is from Nov 1st and above, the new embassy rule is that you must come with your proof of funds (fully funded BA or original SL) for your interview. So as you apply, make sure that you're sorting out your proof of funds so that you don't get to the finish line and find out that you cannot cross over.

starboychan:
Hello is there anyone presently studying or planning to go to Technische Universität Dresden? ..

Please I need Help regarding the application

I helped someone last week apply for Dresden, it's via Uniassist (not sure if it applies to all their courses but the particular course I applied for was via Uniassist)

babyfaceafrica:
without paying to learn it can't. just learn It by living among them like we do here ,I practically learnt a Nigeria language in six months when I served there..is German that hard?

See ehn, the main thing is that it's advisable to learn up to A2 here in Nigeria before moving to Germany. When you get there, you may not have time because of studying and hustling plus you need to communicate with people and do basic things like opening a bank account, getting your resident permit at the foreigners office, finding accommodation, and getting a job. If you're in a small city, it might be difficult to find English speakers and you may need to hire a translator (which cost money) when you want to do important official stuff. Plus it's cheaper here, Goethe Institute in Lagos charges 60k per level, the exams are less than 30k, while language schools in Germany charge over 200 euros or more which is a lot of money for a student.

Engrphilips:
Hello and good morning FAM. I have some questions to ask
1. I sent my documents to uni assist before for 2019 winter, I got admission but there was no appointment date till now and the school enrollment deadline is October 30th. Now I want to apply for summer 2020 and one of the school's requirement is 6.5 overall score for English proficiency test or English proficiency letter; I had 6.0 but now I want to use English proficiency letter since is accepted, my question is will I post the certified copy to uni assist or just upload it in my uni assist account?
2. If there is person here that want to apply to any of these schools, should pls message me so that we can work together; T U Munich, Deggendorf institute of technology, Frankfurt university of applied science, Leibniz University, Philipps University, Magdeburg Stendal university of applied science, or Otton Von Guericke university.
Thanks and God bless.

1. You'll have to upload the EPL online AND send a certified copy to Uniassist.
2. Which course are you applying for?

Aque:
Wow! What about anointing oil Biko?

If by anointing oil, you mean olive oil, then yes it's allowed

Annestacia:
This is serious!!
Was it the airline or customs?

It's the customs officials, not the airline
They told her they don't allow it coz it might stain other people's luggage.

Sheila200:
Hello nairalanders, is it a must to learn German here in Nigeria before applying for a study visa?

Not a must if you're going for an English taught course but highly recommended

Annestacia:
What about those that went through Lagos?

The principle applies to all airports. In my sister's case, she was travelling from Lagos.

Annestacia:
Please those that travelled... Did you have any issues traveling with palm oil especially from Port Harcourt airport?

Travelling with Palm oil is a tricky thing. If you're lucky and the officials don't see it, you can scale through. But if you're unlucky and they see it, then they'll take it and trash it.
My sister was travelling with 4 liters of palm oil to Ukraine and they took it from her.

stevebankz:
Can someone from another EU country Sponsor you?

No. Your sponsor must be living and legally working in Germany and there's a minimum amount he must be earning before he is eligible for sponsorship.

ExcelDeBaron:
Bros... Thanks a lot!! This has helped. Please, if I want to send a million, am assuming that access will charge for transfer right? Do you know the estimate of there charges? Am asking so that I will know how much to leave (for access bank charges) and how much to send. Thanks as I await your reply.

Sassy92 can you help?

Access bank usually charges 23-35k for the transfer. You should make the transfer once so that you don't have to pay more money for charges. Also, you can tell the bank to deduct the charges from your naira account. There are also other charges like offshore charges and swift etc.

Whitemagic:
Fantiba - to fund the account yeah? That's the bank the money would be in? - thanks Sassy

Yes, Fintiba is an escrow bank that you can open a Blocked account with. There are others (Xpatrio, Coracle etc) but Fintiba is the most popular.

Whitemagic:
€10,000 right

10,236 euros. if you're using Fintiba, you need to add their charges

Congratulations!!!

Hey house, is it a wise idea to contact the embassy regarding delays on issuance of an interview date ?

No need because they won't answer you. You can try though.
