Okay. Concerning (2). So if I'm paying installmentally how does it work? So someone else can't send like 2,000 euros into it for me? He/she must send the money into the account I put on the form before I can later transfer to DB? Pls I don't get. Merci

Yes that's what DB said on their fb page. They said the money can only be transferred from the person stated on the form. What you can do is to ask them that if you have several persons transferring the money how do you go about that since all their names cannot fit. I'm sure they will help with a solution.

Or you can have all of them transfer to one person so that the person also transfers it to your account t

Hi Guys,

Has anyone applied to Passau University? My friend has applied but has still not heard from them regarding her admission. She is worried sick as you can imagine. She hasn't opened her block account yet and we all know how long that takes.

I think the course is MSC sustainable developmennt. Do they keep this long in rolling out admissions?

Can someone respond to this?

djlaqua91:
Good day folks, 2 quick questions

1)For the blocked account opening, if I'm using multiple accounts how do I go about filling the form? (I intend to use funds from both my account and a colleague)

2) If I use someone else's account in the blocked account opening. Must I fund the account using that exact account. Or can I use my personal account?

Urgent pls. Thanks and have a nice day.

1-im not sure. You can ask the DB Facebook page
2- You need to use the exact account stated on the form

Number 2 that talks about Tax relevant information, it is highlighted in red and also, in the form I can see UNGULTIG. please, any assistance I highly appreciated.

Tick the option that says I reside in another country and write Nigeria as the country. For the TIN you can use your passport number or write N/A and include a signed letter that you don't have a Tax number. Either way works. Just don't leave it empty especially the Tax Number

Greetings ! my amiable Deutschland hopefuls.
I would appreciate any assistance from anyone who has successfully applied with the new form, and also from my bosses in the house.
I have been following this thread for a while nw.
I am trying to fill the new blocked account form.

The space where I am asked ( I anticipate an additional annual transaction volume of €-------( or equivalent) and also the box that ask the funds will not be transferred by me. instead , they will come from: please, I need clarification on how to go bout the filling.
Then for the
Number 2 that talks about Tax relevant information, it is highlighted in red and also, in the form I can see UNGULTIG. please, any assistance I highly appreciated.

Is the money coming from your account? If yes don't tick that box. However if the money is coming from someone else's account you need to tick that box and state the person's full name as shown on their account. You then need to state the relationship with this person and the source of their fund. Source of fund could be salary.You also have to attach the bank statement. Also make sure when transferring the money it is made from the bank account of the person you stated in the form.

You can put in any amount like 100 Euros. I am not very sure of this though you can ask the Deutsch Bank Facebook page for further clarity. They are very responsive

You have have any doubts ask the DB fb page or anyone here before posting. You can't afford a rejection at this point.

Which other schengen visa do you recommend?
Is there a reason why Germany hardly grant tourist visa?

Maybe Italy, Spain,France etc.

Germany is not a known tourist destination. People mostly go for specific reasons and also the ties they have there. It's rare to find a tourist to no ties to Germany.

Yes, I have receipts and invoices.

If you have the invoices and receipts then you can use that as a proof of employment.

What is his I'm seeing on the DB fb page. If you are using the new forms please take note. The money would have to be transferred from the account indicated in the bank opening form. But the fb page may not be so accurate as they are not the student department. But please play it safe just in case

iwuchukwu1:
Good day all!
Please I'm new to this, but I have a
cousin in germany who is already a citizen and
would like to sponsor me, but we don't know how
to go about the student visa Resident Sponsor
thing, especially the requirements, like is my Sponsor supposed to have a certain amount of
money in their account? and how much? Do I still need to open the blocked account? If so, how much?
Please help!

Please let him book an appointment at the auslander office(for sponsorship of student). He needs to proof income (at least 2500 Euros), also if he has dependents this amount will increase and they will also check his police records. Also he needs to show or proof motivation for sponsorship. They will then approve his sponsorship form and he would have to mail to you

Mikelion:


In the checklist for German tourist visa, some things are not clear. I have the following question:

1. There is a requirement stating "letter of introduction from employer", "leave letter from employer" and "pay slips of the last three months" but the problem is that I'm self-employed (a freelancer). To be precise, I make money through blogging and other web designing jobs. How do I solve this?

2. "color copy of its data page". Do I need to print a fully colored copy of the data page or a photocopy is what they needed?

3. "contact in Germany (name and address)". What do they mean? I'm going as a tourist with no contact in Germany.

Thank you.

Hmmm I would have advised you to use a different schengen visa. The German embassy hardly grants tourist visas but here are the answers to your questions.

1. As a freelancer do you have contracts,business receipts, just anything to show that you have a viable source of income?

2. They said colour copy so please get a coloured photocopy of your passport(data page)

3. Hotel reservation and the contact details of the hotel as you are going as a visitor

Kelvinpam:


Kindly apply and pay the 10€ app fee. You would certainly get a place. They only consider pple who paid the fee. You could also check www(dot)wg-gesucht(dot)de/en/ or add up siegen WG zimmer & wohnung on facebook. There are lots of offers there.

I asked the girl and she said it doesn't matter, I don't have to pay and that when the decisions are made in August she will let me know. But then she sent a mail in August that I won't be getting it but I'm on the waiting list. I've found a place though at Burbach Wohneheim

Alumith:
My people, I need help o.
I applied for the block account on the 19th of July and got the confirmation leaflet same day. I proceeded to apply for the visa interview and I was scheduled for 23rd Aug (Tuesday).
All this while I have waited for the account details, I was shocked to receive a message on Friday that my account opening wasn’t successful because I didn’t attach the source of funding. The source of fund attachment syndrome started August so how would I have attached source of fund in July.
Am so confused at the moment. I have paid for 4 months accommodation at 300euro per month plus 400 deposit (total 1600 euro & 420naira per euro). I don’t even know how to start again because I am sponsoring myself and I have used almost 700k on accommodation. Totally confused. Can I use a bank detail of someone that doesn’t bear same surname with me to reapply? Like a sponsor.
Please help!!!! My interview is on Tuesday

Yes you can use a sponsor. Just specify this person's name in the form and also specify the source of funds- whether savings, salaries or whatever . Then you add his bank account. It doesn't matter if he does not bear your same name. You can write Uncle or explain the relation you have with him

Painpill:


Accommodation at Siegen shouldn't be stressful. Just visit the studentenwerk Siegen site. You'd download a form which you'll fill out and submit either via email or with the help of someone already in Siegen. Costs about €20 or so i can't recall. An early application could guarantee an apartment and they are quite cheap.

You could pm @kelvinpam - Oga Siegen.

I applied to Studentenwerk in April and they responded last week that I couldn't get a room. I've seen a few options for private accommodation

chinok97:
i get you.
But daad ain't the German consulate , and not the only scholarship body. It is boldly stated on the checklist, European /German Org. if any body has used a naija Org bfor for proof of finance and scaled through. dey should chip in and give details

moreover NDDC to pay 720€ monthly? Nigeria NDDC?.. 400N*720€ monthly
lol, if they can pay such ehn. it'ld be an eye opener o.

Ok I'm in Ghana. I guess the requirements in Ghana are more relaxed. And I don't know NDDC or its credibility

chinok97:
there are only 3 ways for finance proof.
1- Open a blocked account with deutsch bank and block the sum of 8790€, monthly withdrawal limit of 720€
2- Letter of sponsorship from someone residing and working legally in Germany, the alien office of the person's city would only grant a go ahead if his/her salary is above 2500€ monthly after taxes.
3-Scholarship from an European /German body alone e.g Daad scholarship et al.

your NDDC scholarship letter won't do anything, dem go jst dey look you for embassy like dis ,
Only way to prolly gain from it, is if the scholarship body tranfers the required blocked account fee to your DB acct after opening. or if dey have any partnership with an European body and transfer it to dem..

Goodluck

I went for an introductory session with DAAD and they said you can use a letter from a scholarship body but the organisation has to be credible and also a representative must be present if possible

michlan:


Which bank and what was the rate?

I did a direct cash deposit at a branch of DB

The journey hasn't been easy o. I haven't gotten my Visa yet but I'm at the last stage.

Just sharing information anyone would find helpful.

Sent my Bank documents to DB on the 4th, they received on the 7th, on the 15th I got a rejection email because I left the tax component empty.

Please if you are unsure of your TIN (Tax Identification Number), just fill in your passport number. I resent the documents and I got my account details on the 27th.

Then I funded on the 4th of August and got a deposit confirmation on the 18th of August. I have sent my confirmation to the embassy and awaiting the results.

All the best to everyone. If you are still in the process of filling DB forms please do it well. You cant afford any delays at this point. Make sure the account statement you attach has at least the minimum amount=8640.

Also if the money will not be transferred by you, state the person in the form and attache their bank statement.

If you have multiple sources, please state them and add all the account statements. A lot of people are getting rejections because of this.

If you have a scholarship, please insist that the scholarship letter states the amount (at least 8640).

I am going to Siegen, currently looking for accommodation. I feel like I've gained so much knowledge from the whole process as I had already applied in April but withrew

UncleJudax:

Just wanted to know since I bought a ticket for 29th September. That's 6 weeks away

dailydolar:
what if I've scholarship letter from NDDC and other organizations in nigeria

That's also fine but in the sponsorship letter they have to state the amount ; at least 8640 either to be paid in lump sum or to be paid in a monthly installment of 720 euros. Is the scholarship for 2 years or 1 year

johnsonnob:
Good morning House, I know i've been asking a lot of question lately but i just need to be clear about certain things before i start my M.Sc application. Everyone keeps talking about db account, are there other ways to prove financial ability aside using db account? if there are, please kindly mention them,,,,Thanks a lot people, anticipating a reply soon...Danke

You can get a sponsorship letter from someone resident in Germany. That person needs to go to the alien office to fill a form or something like that. Then they have to send you an original copy of the form. Then you can use that as a proof of finance

Hi guys, I submitted my confirmation to the embassy yesterday.

Does anyobe know how long it will take for them to get back to me?

biglord:
finally, congrats. DB tho

Thank you! Now the alien office. Anybody here applied to Siegen?

azuka15:

The ugly question i have for you is this, how well do u trust the depositor? It may be from that corner. Just thinking...

The confirmation came in this morning. It was my boyfriend who deposited the money. I don't know why it took 2 weeks though

chrisley024:
Are you even certain it was deposited or there was a mistake some where cos it shouldn't have taken more than 3 days since it was done in Germo?.

Yes I've checked. No mistake. My account number, name and branch number was correct

foreverkind1:

I think its 8090€ , 50€ is for bank charges . that might be d problem

Blocked amount was 8040 and I deposited 8840 which is an extra 860 euros. So they is no way that could be a problem

azuka15:

Bros make sure the amount deposited is the amount that you booked on block account, i received alert today for the pay the bank did on 10th. So verify if u actually send correct amount.

I blocked 8040 and deposited 8860. I have the money to someone to deposit into my account in Cologne

Can someone please respond to me please. Deposited money into my account in the 4th August. No confirmation till date. Filled 2 contact forms already. Still nothing. For those who received confirmation of payment can you please say how long it took?

Very very worried

Hi guys. I credited my account last week Thursday, 4th of August. I still haven't received any alert from Deutsche Bank. Is this normal? Seeing as I made some one directly deposit cash into my account. Person went to one of the DB branches. I have a deposit slip as proof.

The waiting is killing me. How long did you have to wait for confirmation after account has been credited

Just to update every one on my student Visa process. I had my interview on the 4th of July and immediately after I sent the bank documents to DB. (In Ghana, you only open the account after the interview).

The interview was pretty straight forward.
- Why the school
- Why the programme
- Information in the sponsor (Sponsor is a UK citizen who is my fiance)
- etc

Then she asked me to open the account but I had brought the documents to the interview. So I paid for attestation right there and posted it by DHL. It arrived after 2 days.

After 2 weeks I got an email stating that my account could not be opened because I didn't complete the tax information section.
I resent the application(no need for embassy to attest) and exactly 9 days after it arrived I received my account opening details.
I am going to fund the account tomorrow and I'm meant to send the confirmation to the embassy. My Fiance in the Uthis going to Germany to deposit it directly into my blocked account.

Will update you guys on my progress

Ghanaian passport. I enquired but they said the old form is still valid till 31st July. But then you have to still put in 8640 and you need a supplementary form for that.

celestialAgent:
in Nigeria, the Old form is still valid. donno abt Accra.

btw, do you have a Nigeria passport or a Ghana passport?
