Hello Hause, for somebody that wants to book appointment now, what is the ideal time to use as the start date. Is 1st of October 2023 ok?

Your program's start date is the ideal start date to use when booking a visa appointment.

Gladys84:
Hello fams, please I need clarification on this�can admission date be earlier than appointment date because I booked for category B middle of this month and I was asked admission date and I said August 1st and I learnt it takes up to a year to get appointment date, hopefully it won't have effect on my appointment.

Hello Gladys,

It shouldn't affect your appointment. All you have to do is wait for the appointment date to be sent to your mail but hopefully you get it before our resumption date. If not, see how your school can help when that time gets close.

Danke

"Please note that National Diploma and Higher National Diploma is not regarded as university education, unless incorporated into a bachelor's degree"

Please does this mean they don't accept students with HNDs degree

ND and HND degree only cannot be used to apply to that particular degree program or university (where you saw this) unless it has been incorporated into a bachelor's degree which means that you've studied up to ND/HND and went ahead to a University to complete a bachelor's degree afterwards. (That bachelor's degree you get in the end of the program has ND/HND incorporated in it)

I hope this helps. Good luck

Hello Everyone, please I need help especially from experienced members who have applied in the past, I have a few questions and concerns;
1. I want to apply to NTNU and University of Stavanger both applications will go through the soknaweb page. Is is possible to apply to 2 schools at the same time? On University of Stavanger page, it says they don't allow a candidate to have 2 profile. Please help me here.

2. I want to liquidate one of my asset to get the funds into the account and generate the account statement as proof of funds, I want to do this by weekend and generate the statement 48 hours after, hope this won't be am issue for the fact that the money is not in the account for long?

3. I have about 12 years Gap, finished my first degree in 2010 with 2.2(2nd class lower) but I have detailed my work experience on my CV and also detailed my SOP, will the academic Gap be an issue?

4. Any general advise and is there any WhatsApp or telegram group I can join to get further information and support?

Thanks and God bless everyone reading this and ready to guide.

Hello there, I hope this is not too late

1. Yes, it is possible to apply to two schools at the same time using the same profile.

2. I think the school might be concerned if the money hasn't been in your account for up to 3months but since you'll be sending it to them to create a Norwegian bank account on your behalf, everything should be well in the end.

3. The gap shouldn't be an issue if you've detailed the reason for the gap in your SOP and it sounds like you've been working for most of those 12 years so you should be fine.

4. Advice that you stare off WhatsApp or Telegram channels as scam activities are easily perpetuated on eager Nigerians that want to travel by all means. Nairaland is the best for you, trust me. Information is never deleted and it's all in the open for everyone to see and learn from your steps in the nearest future.

Good luck in all your endeavours �

Good afternoon guys,please does anyone know the equivalent of waec result in Germany

Equivalent? I don't know what you're trying to say but your WAEC result certificate is what the German University want you to send when they ask for your secondary school certificate.

bchimezie20:
How long does rejection take from when interview was conducted,what is the interval.

Hopefully you won't get rejected.

To answer your question, it takes between 3-6 weeks after your visa interview to get a reply from the embassy.

Jenny2412:
Pls, I have a 2.2 and wants to apply for Childhood Studies at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, I don't know if my grade is enough�, anyone got admitted with grade or anyone about applying to same school and doesn't mind us connecting?

Your grade is not as bad as you think. But to stand out and get an admission, you'll need a strong motivation letter and good work experience (e.g 1yr experience as a teacher since you want to apply for "childhood studies".

In the end, God works in wonderful ways. Wish you all the best in your application

classicsuave:
Thank you. This is very much appreciated.

You're welcome. Just to reiterate, most schools that I know WILL ONLY CONSIDER YOUR APPLICATION if your Nigerian university send in your official transcript to their admission office either by mail or email (Even if you upload it online). So be sure to confirm. Good luck �

Divwake:
this your message has brightened my day

Lighten up my bro. Your testimony is at your doorstep �

classicsuave:
Good day everyone. Please I have a couple of questions. Anyone who is familiar with the process could assist me with answers

1. Is it compulsory that my school here in Nigeria must be the one to send a copy ofy transcript?

2. Can I make the deposit of 129,000 nok from my parents account? Or must the account be mine??

1. Most schools ask you to upload your transcript and also want your university here in Nigeria to send your official transcript to them by email or mail. That being said, you can only confirm for sure what your chosen school want by going through their admission process for your programme but if you are still not sure after doing that, contact your programme coordinator for clarity.

2. Yes you can. Just accompany the bank statement with a signed letter of proof of sponsorship by the owner of the account

I should be in category A because I graduated in January 2020. I’m going to enroll and work towards next semester. Is it possible that I ask for the enrollment deadline to be extended? I’m supposed to send physical copies of some documents bu next week but I don’t think I’ll make it. The school is HHU Dusseldorf

Since you're a category A applicant, you should have your visa before next semester starts so you'll be fine. Just enrol and continue classes online before that happens. You might even get your visa in time for exams this first semester if you hurry.

And I doubt if they extend enrollment deadline but email your programme coordinator and ask. They might consider you

Pls how do I use this to pay semester fee? Must I go to the bank physically or can I pay online?

You can use form A which takes up to a month if not more. You can ask someone in German with a German bank account to pay for you and you'll send naira equivalent to them.

If you have a dom acct however, you can pay with that too at the bank or on your bank app (e.g Access Bank) but the charges are around $40 for every international transaction so it depends on you. Takes a few days to reflect too

NB: A banker once told me that I can bring foreign currency and pay into the account directly with the details provided but I haven't tried that before

Please I need advise. I’m a young guy tryna survive , I'm planning on coming to Schengen to work. Please I need a good advice if to invest the 4million naira on coming over or start up
A business here in nigeria . Please I need a genuine and sincere response. Please ��

Still think the 'easiest' German visa to obtain is the student visa. *That being said, you're the only one that can truly decide what you want for your own life, nobody can.*

Considering that it takes between N6m - N8m to secure a German student visa and almost a year to process if you're a category B applicant, I'd advice you to double what you already have and if you want to pursue that.

Staying in Nigeria is not the worst plan B you can have, so if you plan to go ahead with that and invest your money in a business here, make sure you're fully ready to commit to it because in business there will always be profit and loss. It all depends on you to manage it well.

Wish you all the best in life

Fortunia123:
Hi guys. I got admission in a German uni ( I’m supposed to resume this month) and I confused on steps to take.

I can’t defer my admission but my school said I have to enroll for this semester but can start classes next semester and I don’t know where to go from here

Pls what steps do I take now?

If you haven't applied for a German visa, please note that it takes up to a year to get visa appointment if you are a category B applicant and it takes few weeks if you are a category A applicant. With this in mind, if you are a category A applicant, you have no problem, just enroll and apply for your visa, you'll definitely get in time for the next semester at most. But if you are a category B applicant and your school can't defer your admission to next session, the probability of your visa being ready by next semester is slim.

(You can risk it, enroll, start online classes for this semester and hope to get visa before next semester starts. The choice is yours)

Kultony:


It is well.

For those who could enroll and attend classes online like myself, please do. Use the waiting time to fund your block account through form A. It is very likely CBN would stop form A by December this year

Goodluck to everyone!

Thank you for your input and I would like to add that for those of us that fall under category B and already have the blocked account funds, I will suggest you make Norway part of your other plans (in case Germany doesn't work out) as the proof of funds is in a closer range to theirs and they also have lots of tuition free schools plus a "not-so-stressful" visa application process unlike with categories in the German embassy.

PS: MAKE YOUR OWN RESEARCH before going ahead with this if you plan to

Divwake:
Did anyone receive appointment for interview last week?

From what I have noticed with this latest trend of "CATEGORY A & B", most people (if not all) in category A get dates within a month. But for category B, they only give dates after about a year, just that the dates are limited because most dates are given to category A. That means about 50% of people in this category will get dates.
I understand the frustration but from my visit to the embassy last week, people from both categories were present for their respective visa interviews so definitely people are booked for visa interviews daily just that majority are in category A as they are more preferred. I wish everyone the best and let us work on other plans we have.
For those that have waited close to a year or more and still haven't gotten a date, stay calm. You'll probably get your dates in a matter of days/weeks if you are among the lucky ones. STAY POSITIVE. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR GOD. We look forward to all your visa testimonies
PS: I am not trying to bring anyone's spirit down but please let us be realistic and understand that the chances of being a category B applicant means you'll have to wait for a year to get dates and after all that, you probably have a 50% chance of getting an appointment date compared to category A that have 100% chance of getting dates within a month.

Hello, I want to certify my academic certificate and transcript at the Ikeja High Court. What docs do I need to present to get this done? Is there a fee to be paid? If so, how much?

Input is appreciated from everyone and especially those that have certified at the Ikeja High Court this year. Thank you
