When is your schools enrolment deadline? You had your interview on the 30th of August It's too early to start making enquiry about your visa status at the Embassy. If your enrolment deadline is still far wait for a month after interview before contacting the Alien Authority in the Administrative region where your school is located not the Embassy. seek4yemi1: |

Since you will be graduating in 2017 according to you. Why not wait after graduation when you'll be sure of having your certificate at hand before registering for English language proficiency tests? because this tests expires after two years. Secondly, you can begin to search for schools now if you wish so as to know the schools to apply to when the time comes. You will find a lot of universities/courses via the website: (www.daad.de/en). GRE is not a compulsory requirement for most of the schools in Germany. It's not all the universities that are under uni-assist. Infact, almost all the top universities are not under uni-assist except the ones in Berlin. The German Academic Exchange Service website above will give you all the information you need. Good Luck.

It's 4-6 weeks or less for those who used blocked account. But I don't know the length of time it will take for those who used sponsorship letter. Our big Oga's in the house can do justice to that question. joneswenger: |

Why wait till Monday when you can walk into to the embassy and submit a new Deutsch Bank form for blocked account opening? If your schools enrolment deadline is still far you can wait till Monday. But if your schools enrolment date is close, you've got to run fast don't wait till Monday. 0yewale: |

Ogbeni highbeey, You don come again this evening. What is your problem? You asked a question, answers/advise has been given to you on how to go about it. You are still asking. Most people here advised you to do the needful and take a language proficiency test. Still you are not satisfied. What kind of a human being are you? I think the best thing to do to you is to start ignoring you. Na wa for you ooo! highbeey: 3 Likes |

I got in contact with one Estate agent too. He advised me never to give a dime to anyone until I see that apartment am paying for live and direct. He said that if I mistakingly send any money to any landlord or estate agent na sorry be my name ooo! Infact the agent nice baje! I had to call and thank him for the advise. Though the Studentenwerk at Tubingen sent me a list of private landlords to contact in case am unable to wait for them to allocate room to me. Are you also heading to Tubingen? kanweYest: |

I applied through the universities Studentenwerk. They placed me on waiting list. But I will still need more input from you. Thanks. [quote author=kanweYest post=37773179]Hey, I have something that might suffice. Its a 40-page PDF on information for exchange students. Has estimates for living expenses on page 20-something. I'll hit your email with it in a moment. There's also a webpage I saved that has similar information, only that its ained at exchange students heading to Uni Tubingen from Singapore or so. Let me know if you'll need that one too. Has either you or Victz secured accommodation in Tuebingen?[/quote] |
| Travel › Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by victz: 2:31pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
Hi, University of Tubingen does not have the breakdown of living expenses on the schools website. That was one of the reasons why I used Union Bank to fund my blocked account. Union bank does not require such informations though their charges might be higher but their services is prompt and effective. Union Bank is stress free. If you cannot use Union bank try to convince your bank that your school does not have a breakdown of the living expenses. Pls, check your email for the PM reply. belleza083: |

@highbeey; There are things you'll need to find out yourself without anyone telling you. If only you can start by reading the thread from page 1, it will do you a lot of good. Eke and some other guys advised you to go through the thread it contains a lot of vital informations. It took me several weeks to read through thread from part one and several months before I started commenting and asking questions. Am sorry if my language hurts. This is not the first time Imuhopeful and other people has sent German Academic Exchange website (www.daad/de/en) for you to go through and see for yourself. Am not against you asking questions that are not clear to you. No one is perfect, no one knows it all. We all ask questions that are not clear to us. But there are somethings that you are expected to know if only you can listen to those who have been telling you to make out time and go through the thread from page 1. highbeey: 2 Likes |

I wonder when it has become a crime for someone to air his/her harmless views. That is the problem with Nigerians. The guys is concerned about his future and someone is telling him that if he doesn't like it that he should move to other countries as if he did not see other countries before choosing to study in Germany. The story he just shared is everywhere on the news and internet. And someone is telling him to come up with a proof. Did I hear someone saying that Germans are not complaining? Turn on your TV set and watch Germans on Euro News and DW News complaining bitterly. The German parliament is even divided on this issue. Though majority of them welcome it but some of them are more concerned about the eminent dangers we are talking about here. I feel for those refugee fleeing their country because of war. My heart goes out for them. Sentiments has made some of us to want to dispute the fact that we don't know what this Arabs are capable of. How do you differentiate between suicide bombers and real asylum seekers? It will be absolutely impossible to conduct a screening to know exactly who this refugees truly are. No one is taking about religion here but the eminent danger ahead. Cindino20: 6 Likes |

Lmuhopeful said that the real refugees are the ones that they left behind in Iraq and Syria and that is true. The young able bodied guys among them are more than the women, children and the elderly. This people has an interior motive. They were chanting Germany! Germany! Germany! in the rail station in Hungary. Some of them even refused first aid that was administered to them because of a cross that was on the first aid box. I begin to wonder if they hate the Christian cross that much what are they doing in Christian Europe? Some were offered asylum in Austria, Czeh Republic and Iceland some stayed majority left for Germany. There must be a reason for them to want to go to the heart of Europe which is Germany.

One cannot even differentiate between true refugees and well trained ISIS fighters who are using refugee status to gain entry into Europe. There must be a reason why rich Arab nations like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE etc are refusing to take them in. Many of them refused to stay in other European counties but chose to go to Germany because of the opportunity Germany offers. They have started trekking to Germany since yesterday they left the train station in Hungary because train refused to convey them to Germany. Germany is willing to accept them even as millions will be arriving in days to come. It doesn't even look like it's going to end soon. The war in Iraq and Syria doesn't look like it's going to end soon, no thanks to ISIS. I just hope Germany knows what they are doing. Zeeblamj01: 3 Likes |

What I asked was just a question. You answered as if one does not know the importance of abolition of tuition fee. That the issue of accommodation should be looked into does not warrant such response. number13: 1 Like |

@Zeeblamjo1, Futurewise11, DanIndia and those currently living in Germany. Please, why is it that the cost of accommodation in Germany is so high? Is it that there are lack of availability of housing/infrastructure in Germany or what is exactly the problem? It's like this problem is also affecting their own citizens. A German student studying at the University of Tubingen decided to be living in a train because of this same problem. She said that the cost of living in a train is cheaper than keeping her rented apartment in Stuttgart. And this problem is almost everywhere in Germany. It's even worse in bigger cities like Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt etc. If a student should be paying €300 per month out of €670 withdrawn from blocked account monthly for accommodation and another €90 for insurance it means that he/she will be left with €280 for the rest of the month. I know that student jobs after few months can serve as compliments but is there nothing the government is doing to address this issue? |

IELTS/TOEFL may not be as difficult as O'Level English in WAEC/NECO but it's more technical than O'Level English. O'Level English may look more difficult because of WAEC's marking scheme. acedboss: 2 Likes |

I learnt that TOEFL is easier than IELTS because IELTS is more technical than TOEFL. But when it comes to registration of both tests IELTS registration is easier. You can walk up to British Council and register for IELTS. But to register for TOEFL you will have to go though an agent. The good thing about language proficiency tests it that it gives you a distinctive advantage over those without. twinkle1: 2 Likes |

That Nigeria is an English speaking country is not a guarantee that all universities in Germany will accept letter of proficiency from the school where he graduated from. Some schools like Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München does not accept any other English proficiency letter/certificates apart from IELTS and TOEFEL. Nigeria is not considered among native speakers of English language. The native speakers are Britain, Canada, USA, New Zealand and Australia. ogagaejay: 6 Likes |

Good morning house. Those that has travelled and already in Germany. Plz, how were you guys able to bypass those Customs, NDLEA, Immigration etc that use to frustrate first time travellers? Did they collect any money from you if yes how much? Also the PTA does it require a specific amount? If yes how much? |

We are just trying to minimise cost. Lufthanza is good but expensive. We all know that European airlines such as Lufthanza, KLM, British Airways, Air France, Iberia etc are the best. But we are looking for the best possible means of boarding cheaper flights. ellacute45: 1 Like |
