Oh wow, thanks. I did mine 5th of September, if I get any update I will let you know

Amandade:


Not yet oo, interviewed sept 8, saw online that waiting process is 12 weeks
Fingers crossed

Good afternoon. Please has anyone received an approval mail this month or even last month? How long did it take for you to get it ?

Thank you

I sent you an email.
But I am only aware of the 4 schools I applied to: RUB, Uni Konstanz, Uni Stuttgart and Uni Heidelberg.

adeniranfam:


Or you can drop the list of university that does not require ielts and accept proficiency letter

Yes, that is what I submitted for all my applications

adeniranfam:


Is the offer available for masters students too ??

It is not compulsory for every school. There is an option to submit a letter of proof of english proficiency from your university. Just check if the school you are interested in allows that

adeniranfam:


You don't want to write the english exam ? They have to be confident that you can speak fluently sir. The exam is mandetory for every NON EU student.

Sept 5. Category A

Bethxxie:


Hey, please when did you have your interview?

Are you Category B?

Just carry 62k and extra, maybe round it up to 70k. But i paid 62k

megaxart:


Please can anyone help with this?

I am also waiting for AM. As long as your interview went well, i think you should focus on other things like finding accommodation, learning german, understanding how the transportation system works etc. It is not easy 😭😭

When did you go for your interview?

dennison4luv:
Guys how do you control your tension when wait for AM after interview

Do you mean the PDF visa form attached to the student checklist?

If yes, the VIDEX form is the digitalized version of it. After filling out the form, a QR code is generated at the end of the form and this would allow the visa officers to have access to the filled form. So fill out the long-term stay Videx form and print it out. You don't have to worry about the other one.

Annie2059:


Great info, please what about the other application form from the requirements for long term visa, do we also fill it together with the videx firm?

Not yet. By the end of this month hopefully. Goodluck!

Kobuge:
Okay. Thank you very much. Is your visa out already? I have mine next month.

- For the reference part, I also went back and forth with it. I spoke to the international office at my school and they said I should put down the contact of the admissions office that handles students from Africa. This is because my school has a dedicated department for handling school references.

So what I can advise is for you to mail the international office and ask them for guidance, they have the best answer for you.
In the case they do not reply on time, check your admission letter and see if there are any contact details. Or ask people in your university who have gotten a visa.

- For the age declaration, I have no idea. I was born after 1992.

- I didn't do any certification. Just bring two copies of each of the documents on the checklist. You don't need to certify your old passports.
- For the visa form, it should be TWO copies of the filled VIDEX long-term stay application form, you can find the link on the national visa page. (no photocopies). Please ensure you are filling the long-term form not short term.
- For the declaration form too, it should be two signed copies (no photocopies)
- Nah, just use your WAEC certificate
- No flight reservation till after you get the approval mail.
- For the health insurance, it is the travel insurance they require you to submit. It is not compulsory to submit it at the appointment if you don't have it yet. But if you are using Fintiba Plus (I think expatrio too), they would offer free travel health insurance. Then you can submit that during your appointment (I submitted mine).
- Also, sign your CV and letter of motivation with the date and time.
- Do not staple any documents. Use paper clips because after they go through your documents, they will staple them themselves.

If you have any further questions, you can ask.

Kobuge:
Hello everyone. Pls I need a first hand information on documents to be submitted on visa interview appointment.
I have seen the check list on the website and I need some clarity.
Anyone that has attended an interview I will appreciate your assistance on this.
Do I certify both copies of each document? Or certify a copy and make a photocopy of it?
Does the two copies each include everything listed on the check list ?
Do I certify copies of my expired passports as well?
Is the primary school report and secondary report sheets necessary since I'm going for MSc.
Lastly do i need to make a flight reservation and submit a health insurance?
Pls I will really need your thoughts on this. If possible give me a breakdown of how you did everything. I will be glad. Thank you.

You can check youtube for formats. But for mine, I had four paragraphs.

The first paragraph: I introduced my self, the visa I was applying for, my program and the duration as well as language of instruction. then what i studied for my bachelor’s degree.

Second paragraph: I was switching fields so I gave a brief reason around that and how my bachelors thesis motivated the change. Then the reason for studying the course and its benefits to my home country.

Third Paragraph: Why germany, why my school, why my program.

Fourth: My future plans which includes coming back to nigeria and how i will use the impact of my program. A closing line about looking forward to a favorable response.

Ensure you address it to the consulate and then sign the letter and put the date and location.

I would also advise using grammarly and maybe chatgpt for proof reading and making it very direct and concise. Good luck!

Zebulun1:
Can someone help me out with ideas on how to write a very good motivation letter

Good evening everyone,

I wanted to ask about the visa fee. How do we know the exchange rate the embassy uses for that day because the rate is not stable right now?

Thank you.

Thank you!

sholape1500:
I used europass and it was accepted so just use it. It would make things easier for you.

Thank you very much. Should I use EUROPASS for the cv?

mosesronnal:


That’s a lot of heading but if it contains the two pages then there’s no problem. I hope you added your CONTACT as well? But if you can combine two headings, such as SKILLS & QUALITIES, EDUCATION & CERTIFICATES, it might also save you some space.

Good evening everyone. Please, I have two questions about the CV we are to submit for the Visa appointment.

The checklist says "A detailed computer-written curriculum vitae with information on your acquired diplomas, references and certificates"

1. What format do they expect it to be in? Europass or any format is accepted??

2. I currently have these headings on my CV.
- Education
- Work Experience
- projects
- technical skills
- honours and awards
- certificates
- leadership skills
- language
- references

I am trying to keep it within 1-2 pages and I am wondering if these headings are too much?

Thank you.
