The mawista insurance I have came with the opening of my blocked account that year.


Oh, okay.
I mailed mawista, hopefully there's a work around. But how did you get that AOK, the one in the pic you posted, you just filled the form and sent back to them and they approved it. How long did that take?

Oh sorry! Please write them an email. They will guide you proper.

I had an IBAN before signing up.
Oh, okay.
Sent them a mail, hopefully they respond. Can you suggest any others, I just want options. It's just for the sponsorship thing, not like it's going to stick or something.

Well, I have a letter from a health issurance company and I did not pay for it.

You need to send a mail to the international office of your school and ask them for preferred health insurance companies after which you would need to contact them (insurance company) requesting for a certificate of some sort you would give your sponsor.

Kindly note that regions have insurance
preferences.


Bro, how did you fill this? Did you need an IBAN? Cos mawista is asking for that, I need options abeg.

Yo. Why are you using mawista? Are you over 30? Or you're only applying for travel insurance?

If you're trying to get student insurance, and you're under 30, I strongly recommend public health insurance.

There's a lot private doesn't cover and which you wouldn't be aware of till it causes an issue, hence why it's cheaper

Also, if you start your study with private insurance, you can not use public until the end of your entire study.

Do check again before you decide

P.S - I used Barmer Health Insurance

Thanks, and yeah, I'm over 30! Hence the choice of mawista.

The dead toll in Germany after the flood is just sad. About a thousand people are still missing, some people here should be thankful there aren’t in Germany yet cos you never can tell. Anyways good morning guys, more appointment dates I pray.

They were really stunned by that flood. Hope they recover soon. And yes, more dates we hope, amen!

Senior man! How far?
So these ones you mentioned, I mean the private insurance, are they the same as the AOK that odogwu mentioned earlier, in that I don't have to pay until I get to Germany?
I'll still contact the university tomorrow.
Thanks.

computaholicGoc:
Hey!

Go for PKV - private Krankenversicherung (private health insurance ) if u re over 23 but under 30.

Public insurance like AOK and Barmer are quite expensive tho is worth it if u re working / plan to retire in germany and/or u re sickly.

I once used mawista ( 37 euros pro Monate ). U can google it.

All the best

Contact your School in Germany immediately.
Mine gave me some names of insurance companies in Germany to register with this summer semester.
I didn't register because i couldn't travel to Germany then.So,it was of no use to me.
You only pay when you arrive in Germany.

Hi bro, so my sponsor said his state in Germany is asking him for health insurance of the person he is sponsoring (me). I don't know what type of health insurance I should get cos I don't even have much money to pay for that now, so is there any you can recommend, and do you know anyone who needed health insurance to get sponsorship letter?

You missed the appointment so your details have been banned for 3 weeks when you attend the appointment they remove it from the system if you don't attend they do not allow you book for another 3 weeks.
Oh, okay.
That make sense, cos I was kinda confused.

Why am I unable to book for certification of documents at the consulate, I want to certify some extra docs but it's saying I already have a similar booking. Meanwhile, I didn't go the last time I booked cos of the holidays on that particular day. Does it mean my previous booking hasn't been deleted from the system? Cos I assumed the date had passed and I could just book another.

Basalt:
Those under category B still waiting for visa appointment, you have to pray more now.
There are few bitter things you need to remember.

1. It usually takes 4 -8 weeks after interview for you to get approval mail. Infact during our time, some people's own took over 10 weeks sef.
And once your enrollment deadline passes before the visa decision, your application will most likely be rejected.
So your enrollment deadline and possibility of extension of enrollment deadline can play a big role.
Because my friend got an email then asking her to present evidence of enrollment deadline extension or the application will be rejected, unfortunately her school didn't give her any extension and the visa was rejected due to passing the enrollment deadline.
I heard it's possible to enroll online now, so you can also enroll online when it gets to that point.

2. After 31st September 2021 , embassy will no longer issue appointment for this year. Which means you need to get appointment in July or latest in August for you to stand a good chance of getting German student visa this year.

3. Though Corona situation is getting better in Germany and category B appointment should return to normal right now, but We are still doing our lectures online contrary to our expectations, which means they might assume that new students can still receive the lectures from their countries and therefore not in a hurry to issue appointments.

If you don't get appointment mail after August this year, then it will be extremely hard for you to meet up this year.
So pray more for the appointment, call them if you can, send emails, explore option B.
You barely have 2 months left

The situation appears even more grim every passing day. Sadly some of us have been admitted to schools where you can only enrol in Germany. It's all good. We pray and hope for the best. Fingers crossed things change very soon. wink

The truth is always bitter, Germany doesn't owe us study permit...

We are the cause of our own problems, so because of the few that graduate and get jobs in Germany, the embassy should allow every dick and harry in?
What do you mean every dick and Harry? God forbid this stupid mentality, tufia! Are you telling me every Indian or Pakistani that studied in Germany finished their studies within the allotted time? Or that they too don't drop out? Or that there haven't been thousands of Nigerians that have added value to the German economy after graduation? This generalisation is wrong abeg. We just have a government that don't care enough to look into the plight of their young graduates. They had better stop giving out admissions to Nigerians as a whole, then we know we are exempted from German university admissions, than this unnecessary delays.

They're telling you to book ahead before getting admission and you're talking about being reviewed soon.
Which decision have they made concerning category B applicants and rescinded it?

Hmm... Doesn't seem like there's any hope whatsoever. But I'd like to stay positive that things might be reviewed. Cos this decision is effectively restricting the larger population of Nigerian students(especially master's) , cos most fall under cat B. Meanwhile for those that can afford to go through other European countries and then transfer to German universities later, I'll say do that now!
