Please the digital Waec printout, is it acceptable by German consulate in Lagos?
like if i upload the digital copy, then print it with concord paper for interview date?
Has anybody done this?
I agree with Smokyasl that it is safer not to rely on a printout. I can only tell you what I did for my own student visa, which was to take original documents to the appointment, and I have not seen the Lagos consulate's current position on digital WAEC printouts in writing, so I will not tell you it is fine. Before your interview date, check the document checklist on the consulate's own website, and if it is still unclear, get the original certificate or a confirmation of results from WAEC so you are not risking a refused document on the day. Better to lose a few days now than your slot.

Oh I see what about getting language visa to study German in Germany. Then they can join the Studienkolleg program. Is that possible?
Not possible without German. Studienkolleg is taught fully in German and the entrance test is B2 level in practice, even where the Kolleg says B1. So step one is German classes in Nigeria (Goethe Institut Lagos or a good private school) up to at least B1.

On the language visa: I would avoid it. It is tied to the course and does not convert cleanly into a study visa, so people end up flying back to Nigeria to start over. The correct visa for his case is the student applicant visa (Studienbewerbervisum). It is made for people who still need to do a Studienkolleg or entrance test, it uses the same blocked account of EUR 11,904, and it converts into a full student visa inside Germany once he passes and gets admission.

Order: German to B1, apply to Studienkollegs, then apply for the applicant visa.

Good morning house.....u all are great and been doing great jobs here.
Pls sir/ma,I am new here i joined today n tried to read information herein to apply for my own opportunity card but it seemed complex yet.
Can someone volunteer to help me get my application filled successfully. I beg.
I have done the assessment and was successfully. Kind regards to all
Congratulations on passing the assessment, that is the part that actually decides whether you have a case, and you have cleared it. What is left is paperwork, and paperwork is slow rather than hard.

The reason it feels complex is that the points assessment and the visa application are two different things and the thread mixes them together. The assessment tells you that you qualify. The application is where you prove each point you claimed, one document at a time. So do not read the whole thread again. Take your own assessment result, write down every point you claimed, and next to each one write which document proves it. Degree, recognition status, language certificate, work experience letters, funds. That list is your application.

Two things I would be careful about, because both cost months. First, upload what you actually have rather than what you wish you had. A claimed point with no document behind it is worse than a point you never claimed at all. Second, keep every original, and take them with you on the day even if you already uploaded them.

Tell us which points you claimed and where you are stuck and I will go through it with you here. You should not have to pay anyone to fill a form.

Please is there anyone with an experience with any of these financing companies that claim you will pay some certain fee and then they will open an account in your name under edubao. They will lock some amount that you won't have access to and then you have access to the rest. Anyone with an experience to know if they are legit?

Edubao itself is genuine, so start from there. It is an established provider, it states that it is BaFin regulated and approved by the German Federal Foreign Office, and German missions accept it. You can also open one directly on their own website with no middleman at all, and their site says that takes minutes.

Now the part that matters for your actual question. Edubao openly runs a partner programme for recruitment agencies, so an agent arranging an Edubao account for you is a normal channel and not by itself a sign that something is wrong. The middleman is not automatically the problem. What decides it is one question: whose money is going into that account?

If you are depositing your own funds and they are only handling the paperwork, then the fee is buying you form filling, and you should weigh that against opening it yourself on their site and paying only the provider's own charge. If they are the ones putting money in to make up the amount, and taking it back once your visa is issued, walk away from it. Those funds are not yours, the mission is being shown money that is going to disappear, and if it unravels it is your visa and your name on the file, not the agent's.

Two checks before any money moves. The account must be in your name with your own login details, and the monthly payouts must land in your own German account after you arrive. And look hard at how they described it to you, because a normal blocked account locks the whole amount and releases it to you month by month. An arrangement where part of it is locked away and you get "the rest" is not the standard product, so make them put in writing exactly what they mean by it before you pay anything.

I funded my own blocked account when I came, so I know the figure is big enough to make a shortcut look attractive. That is exactly where people lose money.

Too much wisdom embedded in this. Thank you so much.

Is it possible to apply for a masters' program if jobs are not forth coming? is that a possibility?

Regarding applying from here I have gotten countless rejection which I believe is becuase my address still carries Nigeria. By the way I am in tech. I am a data engineer
Yes, that is a real option, and you do not have to drop the Chancenkarte queue to look at it. They are separate applications and being on one waiting list does not stop you preparing the other.

I came on the study route myself, so I can tell you how it runs from Nigeria rather than guessing. Pick your programmes, apply through uni-assist where the university uses it. That costs EUR 75 for your first application and EUR 30 for each further one in the same semester's application period, so applying to several at once is much cheaper than people expect. Get the APS started early, because that is the step that quietly eats the most time and almost nobody plans for it. Then admission, then proof of funds, which for most people is the blocked account at EUR 11,904 for the year with EUR 992 released to you monthly, then the visa fee at EUR 75.

Watch deadlines rather than intake dates. Applications close well before the semester starts, and missing that by a week costs you a full semester, not a week.

On the rejections, let me be straight with you, I do not know that your Nigerian address is the cause. It is a common theory on here and I have never seen anything that actually proves it, so I would not build a plan around it. What I do know is that for a data engineer the thing that genuinely changes how employers read you is already having the right to work in Germany, and studying here is one way to get that while you build local experience and a local network. That is the real argument for the study route in your position, not the address.

Thank you for your contribution on this platform WiseKing. I would like to ask. How long did it take you to secure a job after you move and what is your field, Thank you. This will help incoming like us prepare and weigh our chances.
Thank you, glad it helped. Let me answer straight, but with one correction first, because otherwise my timeline will mislead you.

I did not come on the Chancenkarte. I came on the study route, so my clock and my legal position were different from yours. As a student I could work from day one within the student allowance, which is 140 full days or 280 half days a year, and I was not under pressure to find qualified work inside a fixed window the way a Chancenkarte holder is. That difference matters more than any number I could give you.

For what it is worth on my side, my first paid work in Germany came within a few months of arriving, and it was not in my field. It was practical work while I studied. My field is digital marketing, and building anything in that direction has been the slower, longer project running underneath. I say that plainly because the thing I see people underestimate is not how hard it is to get any job, it is how long it takes to get the job you actually came for.

The honest lesson for anyone incoming, whichever route you take: land with more months of money than you think you need, and start applying before you fly, not after. The people who struggle are almost never the ones who lacked skill. They are the ones whose money ran out during the search.

On the sponsorship letter question, the original is what you need. The formal obligation letter your sponsor signs in Germany is issued by the Auslaenderbehoerde there, and what they hand your sponsor is an original document with a stamp and a serial number on it. That stamp is the thing the embassy is checking, and a printout of a scan does not carry it.
DHL from Germany to Lagos or Abuja is usually a few days, so ask your sponsor to send it as soon as it is issued rather than waiting until your appointment is close. Keep the scan as well, it is useful for filling forms and for your own records, but do not plan to walk in with only a printout.

One thing worth knowing before you go far down this road. The obligation letter is not the only way to prove funds, and it is not always the easiest, because your sponsor has to show the German office they earn enough to cover you. If your sponsor is not comfortable with that, the blocked account route is the more common path for us.
I went through the funds proof myself when I moved, so if you say which route your sponsor is on I can be more specific.
Travel › Konrad Adenauer Foundation Scholarship 2027: A Fully Funded Opportunity To Study by wiseking120(op): 10:18pm On Jun 24
Many students dream of studying in Germany but are discouraged by the cost of living and study expenses. One scholarship that can significantly reduce this burden is the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) Scholarship.

The KAS Scholarship is funded by one of Germany's most respected political foundations and is designed to support talented international students who have strong academic records, leadership potential, and a commitment to contributing positively to society.

Selected scholars can receive monthly financial support to help cover living expenses, academic guidance, access to professional networks, seminars, and opportunities to connect with experts, policymakers, and future leaders from around the world.

Germany remains one of the most attractive study destinations due to its high-quality education system, internationally recognized degrees, and relatively low tuition fees at public universities. Scholarships such as KAS make the journey even more accessible for qualified students.

If you are considering pursuing a Master's degree, doctoral studies, or postgraduate education in Germany, it may be worth exploring this opportunity.

I have prepared a detailed guide explaining:

Who can apply
Scholarship benefits
Eligibility requirements
Required documents
Step-by-step application process
Tips to strengthen your application

Read the complete guide here:

👉 https://grandroyaltravel.com/konrad-adenauer-foundation-scholarship-2027/

For those planning to study in Germany in 2027, this is definitely a scholarship worth considering.

Has anyone here applied for the KAS Scholarship before? Feel free to share your experience or ask questions below.

Educational Services › Heinrich Böll Foundation Scholarship 2027 -fully Funded, Open To Africans. APPLY by wiseking120(op): 12:59am On Jun 19
If you are serious about a Master's or PhD in Germany,
This is one scholarship you should not sleep on.


The Heinrich Böll Foundation Scholarship 2027 is fully
funded and open to international students, Africans
included. Unlike DAAD, which focuses mostly on grades,
This one also looks at your social and political
engagement, meaning your community work, activism, or
Advocacy can actually strengthen your application.

Quick facts:

Monthly stipend (Master's): ~€934
Monthly stipend (PhD): ~€1,200
Health insurance supplement: ~€109/month
Levels: Master's and PhD only (no Bachelor's)
Deadlines: Usually 1 March and 1 September
Official site: boell.de

Who can apply:

You need a strong academic record, and you must already have
or be applying for admission to a recognised German
university, and you need to show some form of social or
political commitment. This can be volunteering, a student
activism, journalism, community organising, anything
that shows you care about issues like sustainability,
democracy, or social justice.

Fields that align best: environmental studies, political
science, gender studies, human rights, international
development, journalism, and climate policy. But honestly
Any field can work if you can connect it to the
The foundation's values in your motivation letter.

What trips most applicants up:

Generic motivation letters that could apply to any
scholarship. Weak recommendation letters from people who
do not really know your work. Missing the deadline
because they do not give extensions.

I wrote a full step by step breakdown covering the entire
application process, the documents checklist, common
rejection mistakes, and insider tips for the motivation
letter. You can read the complete guide here:

Travel › Why Germany Is Your Best Study Option. by wiseking120(op): 10:03am On Feb 16, 2022
Germany is a country of higher learning. Germany has more high-ranking universities than you can find in any other country. As there are universities, there are countless courses and options to choose from. The recognition of the degrees is worldwide, and you are likely to get employment just in any country.

Germany is a beautiful country with a deep history, and the best part is the low cost of living. The people are enthusiasts with an ever-changing lifestyle, from the modern to the classic, urban to the rural! Their vibrant and dynamic lifestyle will get you to fall head over heels in love with the place.

This beautiful country is among the top destinations for students from other countries. Currently, there are over 357,000 students (international students) looking to get a degree in Germany. According to official statistics, the numbers are on the rise. Students from all over the world come every year to universities in Germany for higher learning.

Tuition Fees

Unlike in most places, German universities charge no tuition fees! Exceptional, isn’t it? Nowhere in the world can you get an offer like this. Certainly not when prices have gone up, and the living standard in most countries is beyond redemption. So it is no wonder most students come to study in this beautiful country.

A policy established in October 2014 stated that all non-indigenous students studying in a public university in Germany would be free from paying standard tuition fees. Instead, these students are to pay only administrative expenses such as student union fees, student contributions, and a public transport ticket which amount to around €250 per semester.

High Ranking Universities
According to 2018 statistics, the public institutions of higher education currently functioning in Germany are 429, and there are 106 universities. All of which are above global standards. Some rank among the world’s best universities. There is a high regard for these universities among international students because of the quality of education and experience, opportunities available to them while studying and after studying, and the safe environment.

German universities are highly recognized and accepted because of their excellence in teaching and research their long and rich tradition of higher learning. Aside from the traditional top-ranking universities, Germany has produced other universities ranking globally every year. Some high-ranking universities in Germany are the oldest in Europe.

Explore Europe’s Treasures on a student visa
As a European studying in Germany, you will receive the same treatment as a German citizen and EU\EFTA citizen regarding free entry; you will be free to study and work without additional permits. But if you are not a European or from Germany, you will need to apply and get a German study visa to study in Germany. You might not need this if it is a summer school language program where you will need a student visa that allows you in the country for more than 90 days.

It would help if you also had a residency permit to live and move around the country. This residency permit will also allow you into the whole Schengen area visa-free. With it, you can visit the countries within this area and have the time of your life within the time frame of your visa. You are to apply for a student visa immediately after receiving your letter of acceptance from the university of your choice, at least three months before your departure time.

After this, your documents are sent to the Immigration Office in the area where your chosen university is. Then, of course, it will go through chains of stages before issuance. For you to get a student visa, you must meet some requirements. For example, before your departure, you will have to inform the proper authorities if you are going on a permit.

So many Degree Courses
In addition to so many universities, Germany has a wide range of degree courses packaged to cover various interests. Germany is a very industrialized country and, as such, has put a lot of effort into Engineering universities. You can study many engineering courses, which are highly relevant in the country. There are many other programs offered in these universities, even leading courses like medicine and pharmacy.

The list of courses being offered in these universities is increasing by the day, new fields of study are developing. Therefore, whatever you wish to study, whether you want to study atoms or galaxies, you can get these course options in Germany, being taught by the most prestigious professionals in the area of study.

Global Recognition of Courses
The courses offered in these universities are up-to-date in their structure and how they are taught. These study programs are in such a way as to meet up with the most updated scientific developments in the world today. They prepare students to be able to face the world squarely with its challenges confidently. The curriculum is constantly being changed and upgraded to suit the world’s fast-developing technologies and find the most comprehensive methods in teaching and research.

So that at the end of the study program, you will obtain a degree certificate with global recognition and importance. People who will be needing your services will expect the highest commitment and hard work from you because they know the quality of education you have gone through in your years of study, which made them hire you. And they will respect you as well as entrust you with responsibilities.

Low Costs of Living
The cost of living, even if you are an international student, is relatively low if you are smart with your finances and can adjust one or two things. As with everywhere, prices in the urban areas are not as standard as in other places. The primary thing that wears down into your pocket is rent. There are, however, several options of housing available in Germany with varying costs. Mainly because of the accommodation location, some of them can be so expensive.

To reduce cost and make it even cheaper for you, you should find someone to share the room or apartment. That way, the person will contribute to the rent and reduce your costs. In addition, other things like food, transport, amenities and so on are very affordable.

Job Opportunities For International Students
According to German law, international students can work part-time for up to 20 hours a week or 120 full days in a year. An estimate of 60% of international students works part-time while undergoing a study program in Germany. So whether you have an already exciting certificate or not, you can find a job because there are many jobs available that you will find something to do almost immediately.

You can get a tutoring job, bartender, administrative staff, babysitter, etc. But, of course, you must find a part-time job while studying in Germany even if you don’t need the extra money for anything; remember that you may not have the opportunity to have a placement year as a part of a program. But the working experience you get from these jobs will increase your employability and teach you how to live a disciplined and independent life.

Your Prospects
The fact that you have a German university certificate is an enormous privilege. You will be highly respected and valued all over the world. German graduates have high employability in the global market. Once you have bagged that degree, many companies and firms with attractive offers will reach out to you. They trust you can deliver because you’ve just had the best education in Germany. And they believe that you can help grow their business.

Because people need their competence and expertise, graduates from German universities are among the highest-paid workers. Whether your field of study and the country you intend to work in after graduating, a German degree will help you get a better paid and perfect job.

Learn a New Language
Another benefit of studying in Germany is that you get to learn a new language. Learning to speak German is a bonus to your employability and a source of joy. Several reasons for learning German will be beneficial to you. Germany has a strong economy, and the German language is the most spoken native language in Europe.
Companies in Germany have the most extensive network of branches all over the globe. So if you learn German, you add another qualification and have them come to you and offer you a job. Also, German is extensively used to communicate globally, and you increase your chances of traveling and going to the places you desire to go.



Diverse Community
There are so many nationalities in Germany. Recently, German nationals have learned to live in peace and harmony with many foreigners. These foreigners came to Germany to work and live with their families. Also, you get to meet other people like you, who believe Germany can allow them to study. These people are from different places with different cultures, ideas, and unique concepts. You can make friends with these people from all over the globe and learn their customs and traditions.

Historical Heritage
Germany, as I mentioned earlier, has a long, rich history. People do not usually talk about Germany as before, mostly because people know less about this lovely place. Germany has contributed immensely to the essential stages of the world’s history. How nice will it be to use this opportunity and enlighten yourself on the history of this great country?

Mass Communication or related courses here in Germany are mostly 100% in the German Language for tuition-free universities. Nevertheless, you can get an admission slot in private universities but they are relatively expensive. How good is your German?

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..
Its a pity a lot of people still don't know of this thread...i asked if he knows about nairaland and he was dumbfounded...He was really scattered today and i pitied him...he was forced to go home and Paulinus made mockery of him with the mopol men...

And for those planning to go for interview with cheap courier envelope... Pls think twice.. Go and buy the popular envelope everyone one is aware of...like DHL, FEDex ... If u bring cheap ones that is struggling to get name, Paulinus will use u and shine o.

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: 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.

I actually got my US visa application denied twice and Germany been my second choice I'm considering applying to a university as not to keep wasting my time waiting for US alone. please have got some questions that I would really want answers.
first.. is it still possible I meet up with winter semester and secondly, must I have a block account of €8000 before I'm issued a German student visa.
I'm a graduate student.
thanks for your reply in anticipation.

This is so so true, I honestly wouldn't advice anyone to try applying, ordinary legalization self they would reject you.. My advice is you people should try other countries and let Poland be!

They are just thieves after money... They will collect money for legalization.. Whereas legalization in German embassy is free of charge!...

I still dont understand why you all are wasting ur time and money applying for schools in Poland..99.9% is visa refusal.... They will never give u good reasons for denial... There are other countries in Europe to school and get visa straight up... Like Germany... They give free education, scholarships and their processes for visa is not hard like poland.. No need for this ministry of education, foreign affairs bullshit! You all shud leave poland and try germany! I was denied polish visa 2 times even with my complete docs they are just after ur visa fees. But germany was a diff case.. Kind regards
