Why do you people spread fake news and fears everywhere ? Learn which language to become citizen? Portugal the IT capital of Europe ? The eyes of the Mediterranean? Na wah for Una o.
This is why people keep calling me and asking about all this jargons you people write!

The easiest place to get a job in Europe with no single understanding of the language is Portugal , though you strong need the residence permit to get a job there and there is no way you can go around “hand payment “ it’s tough !

During summer alone , you can be doing 6 jobs in Lisbon , it’s the busiest time of the year as they see almost a 100% in population of tourists troop in.

The reason most people don’t know too much about Portugal is because it’s tough to cut corners there and most people avoid it , it laws is stringent and bureaucratic!

Great and lovely place and Entering Spain is hassle free, ….

How many Nigerians do you think is in Portugal ? Last year alone they gave the highest number of Visa to Nigerians , 760 approved Visas! They don’t want you!

Uk alone this year has give over 100k visas to Nigeria because it’s easier not necessarily better , choose where you want and work at it .

My resident permit (Aufenthaltstitel) expires in 30 days same time as my passport. Is it possible to still use this Aufenthaltstitel (with 4 weeks validity) to travel to Nigeria to pick up my new passport and return to Germany in 1 week? I am eligible for an extension but need a valid passport for this.

Your reply will be helpful, Thanks

Biggybee:


Are you going to Nigeria just to start the whole process? Or you already did the process and only going for pickup?

If its to start a new process and you ain't going for any other special thing in Nigeria.

I'll advise you go to Switzerland and renew.

Hello, Good Peope,
Thank you for your contribution to this thread so far.
As anyone recently applied for the blue card with a job offer in tech(Fullstack software engineer)? but without a University degree in Physical science?
The salary is about 70k PA. I have my first degree in Microbiology, but I'm not sure if this qualifies for a blue card application and approval.
I would really appreciate any feedback or information. Thank you

peterejiro:
Please i'd love to ask how long it takes of the blue card visa to be processed after interview i did my interview 4 weeks ago, i am yet to get a response from the embassy

Chiaezugwu:
Lately I heard that the one year awaiting time for appointment when applying for family reunion in Germany has been reduced. Please, is this true? If it is true, who knows the exact awaiting period for appointment? Please, whoever has an answer to this question should help me out.
Thanks in anticipation.

Cambridge is a 1-hour train ride from London. Data shows Cambridge as affordable, but not cheap. It's a real city, and has a substantial black population.

Data shows Munich as slightly more expensive, but not that different. I don't know about surrounding areas.

I think it's going to take some pretty strong advantages to pass on Cambridge (job role, salary, benefits, etc). You can access and do just about anything in Cambridge. The UK has their own racial issues, but Germany is worse. And frankly Germany is an ugly country with a boring culture.

JahBwoy:



Thanks for this. I also spoke with a dude in France and he says transversing EU is simpler when in Germany. I believe living in Germany will afford me opportunities in all Europe.

Step by Step on how I obtained my family reunion visa.

1. Got married in the church 07.10.2017 ( so my church marriage certificate was what i used to process my visa)
2. November 2017, I enrolled in german language school in lagos .
3. December 2017 ( I took the A1 exams in Goethe institute Lagos).

4. After the result came out, I started looking for appointment. I noticed that they are ususally no available appointments during the day. So i tried at midnight and i got one for 3.01.2018
Before going for your appointment, make sure you have all the required documents and 2 to 3 photocopies of each document. Appear at least 30-40 minutes before your appointment.

The visa officer might ask some questions in German. In my own case, I was asked my name,my address and the name of my husband. Don't freak out, they are jsut basic questions.

5. A week after my appointment, my lawyer contacted me and started the investigation. He went to my family house, he visited the place i was staying in Lagos, my primary school, secondary school, university, the church where i wedded and the hospital where i was born.

6. Feb. 2018. I got an email, that I should submit my passport to the embassy, but the passport should bear the last name of my husband.
7. This process took about 3 weeks.
8. 03.03.2018, I left Nigeria for Germany.


LIFE IN GERMANY.
1. After I moved to Germany, I added myself on a waiting list for a language course.
2. June 2018 I started my german course and by dec.2018, I wrote the B1 exams. (by oct 2018, I got a 450 euro job which lasted 3 months)
3. Jan.2019 I started my B2 and by sept. 2019, I wrote C1 exams and passed it.
4. With my C1 result and the my translated university certificate, I got a job in jan. 2020 in the finance sector.



5. March 2021, I applied for German citizenship and by July 2021, I got my german citizenship. Three years after i migrated to germany.

My story might be uncommon, but here is how i achieved it. I researched extensively , as i didnt have any guide. I put the horse before the cart. Learn German as much as possible. The possibility of getting a good job is higher, when you have the german C1 certificate, you can get high paying jobs and your chances of getting german citizenship will higher.

Feel free to ask me any question

Chessbaby:
Thanks, like how much are we talking about?

Chessbaby:
Compliments of the season you'll.
I would love to know the closest hotel/lodging to the Embassy. I heard about the Army cantonment, who's been there recently?
How is it!

nuel80:

It would be sent to you via courier with the self address envelope you submitted with your application. You won’t be allowed entry when you go to the embassy without any invitation.
Start expecting your documents after seven working days from the day they received your passport and insurance.

johnniexson:
Please how long did it took (from the interview day) before you got the mail to submit health insurance and travel date? Thanks

MbaV:
Please sir, how does one get the preapproval, from what authorities, im telling my husband about this and he doesn't know how to go about getting this,? I will appreciate a response please �

Yes, she will still need to go through verification. I got pre-approval for my family too but my wife had to go through verification. One of the advantages the pre-approval offers your wife is that she will be able to get an appointment quicker instead of waiting a whole year to get an appointment. All the best in your interview.

thibcyrain:
Please can you check your dm.

I have been trying to reach you.

HEARTROB:


No shortcut whether u book for appointment in Germany or in Nigeria it take more than one year now to get appointment date.

Blue Card Germany
The EU Blue Card is the main residence permit for university graduates from abroad. It is a simple and unbureaucratic procedure geared to third-country nationals keen to put their talents to use in Germany. ... After 33 months of residence, Blue Card holders are eligible for a settlement permit.

Fiestafetta:

GeneralDae:

The Blue Card Visa (18b para 2) for a non EU citizen ( especially those relocating directly for the job) is given only after the Agentur für Arbeit ( German Government Work Agency) approves it. In the past they checked to see if locals or at least Europeans can do the job first ( although that law is getting more and more relaxed). They also verify the salary of the job to see if it is worth the blue card as well as your certificates ( if they are commensurate to the German standard) and or experience as an academic qualified professional.
