OlaoChi:
hello guys,

I received a mail from the embassy asking me to bring My passport, travel insurance and prepaid courier service envelope addressed to myself. they also asked to indicate my travel dates

I wanna ask
1. does this mean I'm getting the visa for sure
2. what courier service is recommendable?
3. how do they intend I indicate my travel dates?

ayo23us:
This is great, takestep!

I am satisfied as I believed all my worries have been erased. I would adhere to all you've advised.

Best wishes.

ayo23us:
Thanks once again takeastep!
I checked through the embassy's website but couldn't get information about the passport biometrics. Could help with that please?

Thanks for the answer for question 7 but I need to understand something here, the embassy would retain my original documents when I go for submission and interview right? And it is these documents that would be sent back to me through the prepaid courier right? Please do you have ideal about this prepaid services with the courier say DHL?

Lastly, when do you advice I submit an application for interview before my departure to Germany?

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi All,
I intend completing the "VISA application for Research Fellows". I got an offer for a 3-month stay in a German Research facility to conduct some research. I have the following questions to ask as regards this visa category:
1. I would be spending 3 months in Germany (approximately 90-95 days). What visa category should I apply for, Long or Short stay?
2. I stay far away from Lagos, normally how many trips would one make to the embassy before a visa is granted?
3. Those that have visited the embassy for recent interviews, what is the actually processing fee (in naira) that was paid?
4. What is the biometric specifications of the passports required?
5. The embassy requires the primary and secondary school certificates. I only have the secondary cert, would that suffice?
6. I don't think I can lay me hands on any biologically old documents of mine. Is this document compulsory?
7. Can someone please shed more light on the "prepaid courier envelope by any major courier service"? I can't really understand this. What is it for? How do I do this?

I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for the great job going on here!

Bro, just walk into any bank and enquire about Form A, they'll explain better.
However, to make your funds transfer possible via Form A, I know u'll need to present your (1). Int'l passport (2)Degree cert/Waec cert (3)Admission letter (4)Letter of Living Cost (u can request for that from ur school's welcome centre) (5)Ur DB account details in full (6) Ur 8090€ or it's naira equivalence.
The bank will give u their exchange rate and charges. Hope this helps.

Sir/Ma, pls kindly use Fidelity bank, union bank or ecobank.

Official rate directly from CBN as at 02/10/2016 was 221 (selling rate)
Forex rate is pegged at 224.38 (Google)

So if you are using union bank.. Its the Forex rate + 10 naira = 234/euros
Other banks. Forex rate + (between 4/8 naira) = e.g 228, 229, 230, 231, e.t.c

But these rates changes intermittently..

All the best !

dolpaz:


Yes, Go to their Walter Carrington office to carry out the transaction cos Idejo is mainly for Bureau de Change

BUT.. They always request for SIGNED admission letter. So if your admission letter does not carry a signature, they will reject the transaction.

But futurewiser, you dey Canada thread too nah.. and also got admission into winnipeg university Manitoba?

All the best !

weirdarkhitekt:


So if I have a state government or local government issued birth certificate, with declaration of age affidavit I'm covered?
Because declaration of age is looking easier and cheaper than this NPC wahala

michlan:
Please is it compulsory to go with a birth Certificate from NPC? I went to their office and was told they can't use the cert that has NPC name on it cos i'm older than 18 years. I was only issued a birth certificate from Lagos Mainland LG and the woman I met inisisted it would be accepted.
I need advice and how did you get the NPC birth certificate.

Sent again. If you still don't see it, any other way we can connect?

Another thing new students shld watch out for is the Rundfundbeitrag( Tv licence)....The legality of this is nt up for question ...it has been ruled on by courts of competent jurisdiction.

According to the rule every adult in Germany is expected to contribute abt 17 euros a mth for this... the only exemption if ur income is low or u get Bafög.

So for those of u who reisde in a WG...Its actually easy.....if one person us paying in your flat ...you dont need to pay ..all you need to do is when u recieve the first letter just ask the person to write a reply for you and include you on their bill (same thing applies to those livin in private housing).

But if you reisde alone in an apartment...you ce to pay abt 54 euros every 3 mths...please do not allow this money to accumulate......I made same mistake and now ve abt 300 euros to pay ....


If you plan to reside here after studies dont allow this money to accumulate....you will ve to pay it someday.

I will nt advise anyone to gv them their account details of direct debit...just pay and use ur beitrag number fas reference.

All the best.

Then she gave my dear NLder Management questions like:
Styles of Management. ..
Parts of Management. ..and one other one...shikena

d interview...normal questions like why germany...why ur school....why d course. ...what attractive places will I go to in Germany. ...tell me about d city my school is located....d course modules....Just the USUAL Questions and it was Interactive and I remember I made her smile at some instances...

After everyevery, asked if I done fund. Told her still expecting from DB, she then said I should make sure I fund immediately when I have my bank details... (my Ogas, shebi na good news thing she say abi), As i turn say make i waka, she call me offer me water to drink chai omi aiye re oooo

dolpaz:

Thanks


Make una calm down nah...It takes 6-8 weeks for your blocked account to be opened

Take a chill pill guys !

femo86:


Not sure. Just asking for a friend. Thanks.

Bro, how much did you pay for the account opening at the Embassy? 4500 or above

dolpaz:


€60 or #4700 naira in cash
make sure you go with small denominations like #200.. try and equip yourself with at least #5000 naira.. you know our exchange rate is not stable nowadays.

All the best !
