Hello All, I wanted to get my visa and be sure before putting this out there. You do not have to get a travel insurance from an insurance company here in Nigeria before you get your visa. You need an insurance from an insurance provider in Germany before you can enroll, same insurance is acceptable by the embassy here in Nigeria. All you have to do is to contact which ever company you want to use over there via email and explain what you need, they will send the forms to you via email, which you fill out and send back, after a day or two they will will send an insurance confirmation to you. This confirmation is accepted by the embassy here. For payments, you can fill your blocked account details and give them a debit instruction or like me you can wait till you get to Germany before paying. I used a sponsorship letter so I do not have an account yet and payment is through direct debit, so when I get to Germany, I will open an account and give them the debit instruction. Also, it might be better to contact you school and ask if they have a preferred insurance company.

For your prepaid envelop and with complaints about DHL, i didn't really pay any attention to the one I got since it was for a local transaction but checking now I see it is Red Star Express. I dropped my passport on the 11th, my visa was issued on the 12th as written on the passport and they brought my package today around 10am, so i guess it is preferable to the 1 week wait of DHL.

Hi folks. I want to ask this...how does one get their documents back after sending to uni assist ? If you didn't get admission that is.

You are not supposed to send your original documents, just the certified copies. you can certify at the embassy or at the court.
