Greetings guys, please how can I find accommodation in muenster {North Rhine Westphalia} or its neighboring cities

Münster is always difficult to get accommodation. Try Hamm west, it's just 20mins to münster by train.

Do we have anyone here that was interviewed on or before 19th August and yet to receive AM?

Olaaa11:
Hello,
Theres really is no time frame for requesting for Sl, what is important is that you have it before your interview date so you can present it alongside your documents at the embassy. In a situation whereby you dont have it at the time of your interview, you can always send it to the embassy when you have it.

No, you do not need an admission letter to apply for the SL, your sponsor only need to go to the german office where it done in his state.

Your SL can be used for any school. You only need one SL.


quote author=henrisco post=82562406]Dear Nairalanders,
For those that have used sponsorship letter before kindly guide me.
Can I start the process of requesting for SL from my sponsor before the arrival of my admission letters?
Do I need an admission letter to apply for SL?

Is SL tied to a particular school or it can b used for any school in Germany in the event of having many admission letters?

Please my people help me to get things right.
I am anxiously waiting for your responses.

You definitely need Admission letter before requesting for Sl.

Most Sl comes with your university address written on it.

dennison4luv:



please what is normally needed to obtain SL,,, Like what do one need to send to who want to obtain the SL to take to the alien's office in germany

1) your admission letter
2) your passport data page
3) sponsor's passport data page
4) sponsor's 3 months payslip
5) sponsor's job contract
6) 29€

For those preparing for masters program, get ready for a test at the embassy on your area of study.

Someone was given a test on economics.

Adhheir:


1. If you're very close to 30 say 29, stay away from public insurance bro...lol, you would be paying in the 100s monthly. The approval mail AM always requests for a 3 or 6 months travel insurance starting from or close to your travel date (has to be earlier than travel date). So you need to submit that travel insurance certificate to the embassy to get your visa.


2. When you subscribe to any of these aforementioned health insurance packages from Nigeria,
You still don't have a German insurance that covers your health yet (so you cannot tick it/yes because you only booked a spot with either insurance company in advance) the contract becomes valid when you land in Germany, so the answer is still NO.

It becomes valid when you start paying for it in Germany, as its not free; the advance travel insurance is just an incentive from this health insurance company to ease costs.

N.B not entirely activated, travel is but health isn't. If you incur an injury or have health issues in Nigeria before your travel, TK isn't gonna be responsible, lol...just painting a picture for you.

4. Submitting the certificate when you go for (at) your visa interview is the only way they won't, not because you ticked it. They need to see the certificate, so you either submit at the interview or after you've received your AM which will come with clear instructions to submit it.


Vielen grüße

For the ladies... there's no two ways about it. whether below or above 30 years, i beg you to go for public health insurance. Men can go for private but i wont advice any lady to go for private.

Good evening house

please I need a sample of a sponsorship letter, my sponsor doesn't know what is like, and how to go about it, please I need your help in this, thanks.

DM Bitte...

Deustchemann:

Nö. If your hard copy SL is yet to arrive before your interview, go with blocked account opening confirmation. But make sure you tell the VO that you'll be using SL. You'll be told to send it to the embassy immediately you get it, so your application can be processed.

Wrong information. Please go with a clear copy of the sl print out.
You will be asked to bring the original when it's available. Though they might give up a deadline to provide the original.

imoriafe:

bro what about muenster in NRW how is the city in terms of job hunting and living expenses

Münster is a very big city in NRW, also one of the cities with lots of jobs. Though accommodation is not that easy to come by and rent is kinda high.

Greeting wonderful people. Please who knows how long it takes for husband to join his wife in America, after filing their documents.

Thanks in Advance

Please guys, i need an urgent reply so i can decide on what to do.

I travelled to france with student visa in sept but currently, there very few student jobs in the city where i'm staying now in France. I already have admission offer in Germany (Bavaria) but due to the block account or sponsporship letter, i decided to take the easy route to France.
The lack of student's jobs here in France has pushed me to make a decision to move out of France to enroll in Germany since my admission offer in Germany is still open.
I want to know if there will be a problem along the line since i'm moving to Germany with a french student visa?
Secondly, will i be able to get a work permit in Germany after my enrollment.
I don't know if the home office in Germany will still ask me to provide a block account or sponsporship letter so my visa will converted to a German student visa.

If you still have a valid resident permit in France, then get letter of sponsorship and visit the Auslanderbehörde in ur city (Germany) after Anmeldung.

dailydolar:
is he not residing in Germany ? No be holiday him come for naija abi which kind question u dey ask ? Once hes a German citizen and works in Germany he can do the letter anywhere

German resident who with a steady job and earn some reasonable amount of money. He mustn't be a citizen.

mrsholes:



North Rhine Westphalia, soest to be precise.

I guess it's südwesfalen Soest (South Westphalia University of applied Sciences Soest)

Business administration with informatics.

Call the ausländerbehörde.

aufenthalt@kreis-soest.de

Kryptomeniac:
Please I need clarification on this SL stuff. Someone wants to help he out, she is based in Bremen and I am heading to TU Freiberg in Saxony state. Where exactly can she go to request for the sponsorship letter. Can she get the letter at the Auslander office at her state of residence or must she go to the state I am heading to?

Yes, she can get it in Bremen.

yomizee:
It's too early to start spending as much as that on winter jackets o. Look for a primark store around you.. you can still get a good one between €15-€25.. you can check their online store and order if the store around your location has the e-commerce arm..

I mentioned primark cos I know they sell budget fast fashion. You can as well check other fast fashion stores online such as H&M.. but sure you can't spend up to €50 sha

Everything is not all about money. Your health is more important and i cannot advice someone who 've not experience the winter cold weather to go for 15€ jacket. 50€ jacket is better than taking the risk.

Chriswazo:


God be with you people. I want to know if our Naija phones works there with their Sim card or you are using WiFi?

MTN worked for me for 3months. To call and recieve calls from Nigeria. But now I recieve text free while receiving and making calls is being charged.

phodio:
Hello all,

50-100€. U might get it cheaper when there is angebot.

Dutchkid:

Sorry you misunderstood me. I was trying to pass a message to u but it's unfortunate u only see it as an insult. I'm not here to insult anybody and have never did.

Dutchkid:

Happy weekend to you all.
Pls I saw the requirements of one of the institution I'm intending to apply....
"Applicants must verify that their command of German satisfies the requirements of level C1".
Pls what does this mean?

Depending on your level of German. If ur German is so good that u can even compete with real Germans then go ahead. If not better look for alternative course.

After a long awaited interview, it finally happened today....

Lodged with some frnds at Hotel de campbel which happens to be very affordable(N3000) and well furnished..located at Marina which is just 10 minutes to the embassy.

We got to the embassy around 4:20am, waited for them to open the gate and as usual those business guys who are trying to open office on our heads were there deceiving those novice(thanks to nairaland and whatsapp groups for making us wise).

At 5am d gate was open and i became number 4 on the queue.. At around 6am the VOs started coming into the premises one after d other...

Immediately the VO with dreads walked into d premisses and greated, i shouted (blood of Jesus) i was gripped with fear of her sight.. And i started casting any thing that will lead me to her counter...At around 6:45am the Almighty Paulinus came in singing and praise God in his mother tongue(igbo language) and at sharp 7am, the numbers of applicants for student visa were already 45..he started calling us in.. First 5... I was so happy to be among the first 5... Oga paulinus as usual was feeling bossy and being strict trying to put fear on everyone...he asked the first 5 of us to put our appointment letter inside our passports..

After placing us on how to stand, he asked us to bring out our application form and signed declaration. As i was just about to search for my own, he just shouted as me and asked me to leave chained court and go to the queue for no just reason. I was now trying to beg and understand what mistake i have made to warrant such... The man asked me to go to the end of the line.... Me that was once number 4 became number 45.. I felt really bad.. While my frnds had entered..

At around 8am, the numbers on queue was 60...we all had to stand.. Gradually wen it was 12.30pm it got to my turn again.. I was checked in after arranging my documents according to Paulinus checklist... We still waited for about 2 hour again inside the main embassy and wen it finally got to my turn, Low ans behold met my worst fear(the VO on dreads).

She just bone her face... My heart started pounding cus i heard she gives Maths to BSc students.


VO: ur original documents and passport pls. (She checks my documents and shouted! Why
third class on ur first BSc? So u went to school to play abi?

Me: Ma its due to thhhh...VO cuts in
VO: save ur explanation cus i dont wanna hear any.. Pass me ur passport photo..(i gave her) come, this ur passport photo is terrible o. (Me i didnt just talk..for my mind i dey speak in tongues)....after biometric
VO: pls pick up the microphone on ur right hand side. why did u choose this course?
Me: i gave her my reasons as she was typing pretty fast..
VO: go on....
Me: i continued talking.
VO: (typing fast) wait. It's ok. Why not do this course in Nigeria?
Me: gave her reasons
VO: why germany
Me: i told her why...
VO: why not Uk or the US?
Me:Gave her my reasons..
VO: give me 7 facts about germany! And pls i dont want stories.. Real facts...

Me: told her all i can remember..
VO: tell me about the Bundesrat and Bundestag

Me: told her what i know
VO: who are the heads of the 2 legislatives

Me: sorry my i have no idea!
VO: (she looked at me frowning) u are supposed to know about Germany.

Me: sorry ma but Germany is a big country and am not supposed to learn everything within this short period of time. Apparently am still learning.

VO: very well den tell me what u know.

Me: i told her facts.
VO: interesting...were did u get ur facts from. Am just hearing this...ok mention the city States in germany

Me: Berlin hamburg and Bremen
VO: is that all?
Me: for the city States, yes!
VO: i can see ur brother is sponsoring ur education, what is his profession?

Me: i told her.
Vo: and his wife?
Me: told her.
VO: how many are u in ur family?
Me: told her
VO: how many of ur siblings are abroad aside your brother?
Me: told her.
VO: ok. How far have u gone in preparing for ur stay in Germany?

Me: i told her i already secured accomodation and showed her prove and i also showed her my one year medical health insurance
VO: oh u have even acquired a medical health.. Cool.(as she typed for a very long time)
that will be all for the interview but before u go, i would give u a test in mathematics. (At this point i was not myself anymore cus i dont know maths at all). Pls u have 10 mins to solve this 10 questions! Ur time starts now..

Me: I just tried my best and gave her back.

VO: that will be all for now... We will get to u via email in regards to ur application. U can go.

Pls note this* for those who haven't gone for interview, try to bring all ur complete documents and make 2 photocopies of each docs. Paulinus is not smiling in regards to a missing document. He chased some persons home and that was d end of their interview..
Those using agent pls know know that u are on ur own during the interview. A guy that went through an agent came for interview today without a visa fee..he said he had paid d agent already. Unfortunately there was no bank around to withdraw. Funny enough this guy didn't bring Motivation letter, waec scratch card and most other documents. Oga Paulinus didn't waste time to send him home..pls come really prepared. Regards.

Congratulations in advance.

I hope u were able to give the guy that paid an agent some important information or rather refer him here.
Most people believe that only the visa agents can help them get visa, but the truth is that most visa agent don't have the accurate information for visa matters.

I pity him sha..

samajayi1:


Will the premium of care concept also shoot up after one year like mawista?

Yes in goes up to either 55 or 56euros. But you can use one and change to the other the upper yr. So that u can stand well before going for the upper health insurance.

Hello guys...
I am in a very delicate situation and I need help from anyone who can offer any information that maybe of help.
Thanks to all the info here and they have been helpful.
I had my interview on 26th July and it went smooth no hitches, I even funded before interview to avoid any delay.
Out of curiosity I sent a mail to the alien authority in Germany last 2 weeks to enquire about my VISA but I was told my documents have not arrived Germany which was a surprise to me because it already 4 weeks.
I sent a message to embassy here in Lagos and they told me the alien authority should have received my documents as they had already sent it to them. I thought maybe the documents are on the way or something. I sent another mail last week but I was told it has not still arrived, so I mailed the embassy in Lagos to understand what is happening but I received a kind auto-reply message directing to visit the site to check info concerning VISA. Did the same this week but received the same auto-reply. I tried calling the embassy severally, it went into voicemail and call will end.

The Admission Director of my school called the alien authority to find out about my Visa and was told the same thing that my documents haven't arrived Germany and that she doubts I will make it in time. School resumes on Monday 3rd September for induction and official enrollment is 10th September.
I should have been in Germany this week or at most next week.

Please I need help on what to do cos at the moment I have ran out of ideas and its devastating.

U are not the first to encounter this. Many people have had such experience which also happened to me.
Definitely German embassy has sent ur documents to ur Auslander büro and there might be many applications on queue. It doesn't take them time to approve visa. For example during my time, i called on the alien office on Wednesday and was told that they 've not received my documents. I called back on Friday and was told that they 've just approved it.

I'm sure u will hear from them before the enrolment deadline .


Congratulations in advance �

If you are above 30, use mawista student classic. It is around €37 per month but will jump to €63 per month at the end of the first year. But note, you pay the bills yourself at the hospital while you will be reimbursed afterward by the insurance company after sending the bills from the hospital to them. This is peculiar to all private insurance company. If you are above 30, then public will not take you unless under some few circumstances and the fee per month is very very high. If you are below 30, take public insurance, otherwise, take private. As for Fintiba insurance, forget it. Shalom

Care concept (comfort) is also nice. Around 35 euros. It's another alternative to mawista classic.
