OlaoChi:

thanks.
I already prepared travel insurance from IGI valid for 3 months. .and I intend to travel on the first month
I'm not familiar with A.m mailing, but can I get all this done with FedEx?

That mail embassy sent you telling you to come with 3 months insurance, is the A.M mail. So, print it, write your possible travel date on top of it, package it with your passport, the Insurance documents , include photocopy of the insurance too.
NOTE: Check the two paper given to you by IGI, one is "insured copy" and the other is "consulate copy". so you are sending each one with a copy ( make photocopy for yourself too). Use Fedex to send them.
The embassy will return all your original documents , your passport with VISA stamped , and the insurance too in an envelope. ....... hope i didnt confused you...lol

All the best

paulynpen:

plz my friend how did you fund your account? were you allowed to transact at CBN rate or you use the black market. plz i need your reply plz. thanks

bro, i funded last year December . then the forex palaver never serious like this. I used Diamond bank at the rate of 217 per euro.

OlaoChi:

Negro1986:
Good day my e family, please those that have recently made payment for their UNI-ASSIST fee should help me out on the procedure, a friend that wants to make the payment for me online while i will pay him with Naira is asking me about the Uni assist bank "sort code" and the "account number" but i only have the " INTERNATIONAL BANK CODE(IBAN) AND BIC/SWIFT CODE" from the UNI-ASSIST website. All the banks i approached are declining to do the transaction for me due to this on going CBN regulations, they insist that if its not school fees for FORM A that i should look elsewhere. i really need solutions to this urgently.

what you see on the Uni assist website is all you need ....I used that too and it worked ..... just supply your guy the account details from uni assist website ... he can also read through it himself .... good luck

Tiofat:

But ur friend has fund his block account?

Vycta:

Got the same mail almost a month back, sent my documents the next day, but nothing till you fund. no funding, no visa.

Yea, he already funded his account earlier ......

Tiofat:

No. But some days after his interview he was asked to fund his block account to further his visa application process. He has not fund it wen he received another mail after a month that he shd send the envelop to the embasy for his documents. Pls what message did u think they re trying to send to him.

I am sure a.m mail usually include "come with 3 months insurance"...... when my guy got the mail, it says "Please forward the following via a courier service or drop directly at the gate". the documents includes
- passport
-A prepaid self addressed envelop
-propose date of travel
- 3 months insurance.
So if that mail didnt include the above , especially the 3 months insurance, I fear the worst!!
Good luck

Hi Guys , all thanks to you all for your delicious contributions and assistance.

This question goes to ma bruders currently in Deutschland, I need to buy a Laptop. In terms of Price , Is it better buying here in Nigeria or when I arrive Germany? .....
oya make una begin tackle my dy/dx. ....lol

With a sincere gratitude to the blessed 'TRINITY' i wish to share my testimony that my package was delivered to me today with my visa. The journey started last winter, though i missed out on getting an offer from Siegen (i applied late and was bitter, never knew God has a bigger plan). I got back to the drawing board with words of encouragement from beautiful people on here, God gave me a reason to trust in Him by applying to schools available for summer.
I had my interview early January and got the funding mail the next morning, with a note to correct the age of birth on my passport. Mehn! had to travel down to Abuja to face immigration but all thanks to God for His divine favor, i got it done within a few days. I scanned the new passport and sent it to the embassy, in between these days/weeks i kept on waiting for the db acct details (i was worried but had faith in God) before it was sent to me finally. Yea, passport corrected and db details gotten but here comes the funding ishh. Last week Monday the am mail dropped without funding, yea! Is God not awesome? With speed i got to Lagos few days later, and today my package arrived. Glory!!!!!
My appreciation goes to everyone here.... Dolpaz, Eke40seven, Kennyoguns, Canhelvin, Sonnyville, Honourableseyi, Adenjnr, Fapper, Futurewiser... And my Gs (femo and promise)... Abeg nor vex if i nor mention your name... Babanila, Lord..... and Twostep.... Much love people
This is just a pointer to greatness.... May God perfect all that concerneth us in Deutschland..... Amennnn.
My interview transcript and timeline will follow shortly. Cheers.
Dj abeg play me "Jesus is the greatest" by.... Lol

ALL POWER TO BELONG TO GOD!!!!! Finally bro, you can now smile for the battle is over!.... i am so happy for you especially with all that happened at the immigration office Abuja..... see you in Deutschland

Cindino20:

Cindino20:

Lucky u...
Govt pays d rest ..if ah hear...u pay the balance 7.5 % while ur employer contributes the balance....
Then pension contribution 18% (9% employee and 9% employer )or so of ur gross income...
Unemployment insurance 3% (1.5% employee and 1.5%employer)of ur gross income
Nursinf insurance 2.5% (1.175% employee and balance employer) of gross income
Church insurance ....abt 1% or so...
VBL
Income tax insurance then depends on ur tax class...this is the only deduction that varies(depends on class) the rest is fixed...as a young guy (single) u prolly will contribute btwn 38-40% of ur gross income.....
http://www.gtai.de/GTAI/Navigation/EN/Invest/Investment-guide/Employees-and-social-security/the-german-social-security-system,t=allocation-of-contributions,did=6730.html
But as a student u wnt pay such taxes if u earn less than 800 euros durin sch term and for holiday jobs there is a tax waiver..other than that...forget it u must contribute all dat stuff there.
Well the system is well structured! And there re loads of benefits.
All d best pple.

cindino how far naa? Nice update !

nevilbot:

u only pay church tax if u tell them u are a christian wen u went to get ur tax class. i told them i am a Jehovah's witness and i dont belong to any of their nominal churches so y will my money be taken to fund wat i dont belive in. so they put me under no religion class and i dont get to pay to fund dia churches

......

My Oga , happy new year ... On behalf of PMB, i hail u oooo

Atigba:
Please is any thing wrong if I mention in my motivation letter that I plan to return home and work in my current place of work after my studies?

Well I don't think that will be necessary. Motivation letter is simply expected to answer the WHY QUESTIONS. Why MSc,? Why Germany ? why that school ? why that course ? .... The more could do is tell the vast opportunities the course could provide you in your home country after completion, of course, that could be an answer to the "WHY THE COURSE?" question. So let your motivation letter focus mainly on provided those WHY questions. .
Goodluck....

stevemims:
How you take get the questions? You cram or record am? Lol... How you doing bro? I wish you a prosperous new year
i cram the questions oooo. lol.... thanks bro, I wish u the same ....

benycent:

Ohaskid....that's true my brother,I would like to point out what I have seen so far in Germany....yes there are jobs I won't deceive you but would you like to study and end up in a factory( God forbids) so I would advice people coming in new if you wanna study in Germany,choose courses like Medicine,Engineering,IT and Nursing, any courses related in that field the chances of getting a job is high (I am not saying you can not get a job in other fields,but chances are very slim),Secondly I decided to go for another masters because my first masters program is not what I thought it would be like, it was sweet on the website but getting to Germany it was below my expectations...a lot of things I would share more reason I came back to Nairaland.

Beny I sent you PM . waiting for your response.. I need more info on Magdeburg. check your mail

OlaoChi:
