Nokas2021:
Good morning, good people.

I had just been admitted to a school in Berlin but it's looking like I will miss it because I applied for an appointment but I had it takes close to a year or more.

Any suggestions on what I can do?

Can it be fastened? Like, are there people that can make it work with some pay?

Because people are saying that it cannot be fastened since I am in category B

You ought to have enquired on visa situation even before applying.

You already heard it cannot be fastened, but you want to push it. Well, you're a target for a potential scam.

ifemaco:


It's true. I made applications for SS23 without the need to certify. It all depends on the university.

That makes sense... Depending on the university. University of Köln, Uni Bielefeld does not bother but Uni Koblenz-Landau (now known as University of Koblenz and Rhineland-Palatinate Technical University (Kaiserslautern or Landau campuses) insisted on certified copies through uni-assist.

Uni-assist requirements differ with universities.

KomGhale:


It depends.. if it's an online-only application via uniassist, you don't need to upload a certified of your transcript.. but if you need to send documents via post, then yes it has to be certified

Can you reconfirm this?
Uni-assist insisted on a certified copy (perhaps because corona is over nearly everywhere) as at winter admissions 2022.

QueenKaycee:
Please Do I need an Age declaration for my interview? I already have my birth certificate. Then if I don't get my Sponsorship Letter before the interview date, what can I use? Thanks all

Your birth certificate overrides your age declaration, so you don't need the age declaration.

Waposh:
My fellow people
Applying to uni assist
Must my transcript be certified?
If yes, does that mean I will have to request from my school and still certified it at the high Court?

Yes. Unfortunately, you have to request from your school, receive it and certify it before uploading it, both original and certified copies.

rockyh:
Please I need a masters degree program that has free tuition fee any where in Germany for a mass communication graduate. Treat as an emergency

The entire team is working on it.
Sorry for the delay sir.

Waposh:
Hello my fellow nairalanders
Does it make sense if my elder brother is the one providing me with the sponsorship letter, I hope it's not a red flag?

Greenest flag

Kratos14:
Please do Germany need accommodation contract or do I need to have that too for my interview as supporting documents or not needed at all

Not needed

Kratos14:
Hello house, please when you go for interview. Do they collect your passport down or you send when they want to give you visa ?

No.
Your passport and health insurance proof is requested for usually after 4 weeks of interview under normal circumstances. That is after you receive the Decision Email.

I suggest you join the telegram group bro. all your questions will be answered there plus the folks are more responsive there

If you begin or continue to promote telegram messaging, note that, gradually, this circle and cycling of info will disintegrate as everyone will move to telegram making the purpose of this thread limited and open info quickly becomes closed.

Like how @justt has said, we are all different and our circumstances are different too (even though, largely the same).
It's a free forum and no one is compelled to offer information. People are here to ASK questions and NOT answer questions. You need to understand that.
Someone of us have the luxury of time?, energy and personality to visit threads like this with the aim of helping out with info or getting info. Don't be disappointed if you don't get answers and when persons decide to not answer certain questions, it's a pleasure and not a duty to anyone. I have come to see that the pattern is 1 year+-2 months.
Make your calculations with that and begin to do all what is expected while you wait, and get busy still.

Toonerdyy:
Good evening house...pls does anyone know when the Ghana German embassy application portal will be open for persons under cat B?

Na cediland.com you for check o

If all of you interested can up with a price and the type of interest, arrange a schedule and pull the resources together, we can altogether pay him up to 50k a week.

We rise by lifting ourselves.

justt:
Hello!
I discover that the German application checklist doesn't include itinerary (flight ticket), account statement/payslip, yellow fever card, proof of accommodation etc as often request for other visa applications or are these expected to be provided as supplementary information?

Even health insurance wasn't listed but from the information on this platform, I got to know it will still be requested for.

My appointment is next week and I don't want to leave any vital document behind.

Thanks in anticipation of your input.

Proof of funds e.g blocked account or so called sponsorship letter
Health insurance is needed at least but will be reasked after the interview.

Other documents are standards e.g credentials, visa application form, admission/enrolment cert., passport photo, passport data page etc IN ORGINALS and 2 sets of copies.

Muzansama:
Okay. So The proof is not for the embassy then?

Proof of funds e.g blocked account amount is for embassy use while proof of the SOURCE of that money is for the blocked account bank use.

[quote author=Amista post=120463033][/quote]

Less than 30 years, go for maybe TK but Mawista health insurance is good enough for all. And 6 months is okay. When you arrive, you sort it out.

Toonerdyy:
Good evening house...i have a question pls.
Can a resident of Nigeria/Nigerian apply for student visa through German embassy at Ghana without having a Ghana residence permit at first?...

Cause i was thinking of applying then making a residence permit before the appointment date.
Can it work that way or do i need to make a residence permit before applying?
(I know for now that their portals are closed for application under cat B)but still someone should answer pls

Thanks in advance

You need to have at least 6 months old residence permit in Ghana before applying

Fortunia123:


I mailed my school and I’ve gotten enrollment confirmation. My main headache now is the blocking confirmation.

Take a chill pill... It helps

Muzansama:
Thanks for responding. Can you clear me on what you meant by "depending on the german bank?"

If you use Fintiba for instance, if your transfer comes in more than 3 transfers, you might be required to provide proofs (I don't know what exactly they are).

If you use say Coracle and they recently had a suspicious case, they might as well ask for clarification.

It's not necessarily to worry about it if the money comes from a clean source.

Exceptions would be the account the money is coming from. E.g Ramon Abbas sends the money, they might think, oh its Hushpuppy and you will need to prove its not.
.

Muzansama:
Good morning guys

After funding the blocked account, do I also have to provr how I got the funds for it?

Also is there a telegram or whatsapp group?

In most cases, you don't need a proof but depending on the German bank, if they request, you have to show.

If there was a telegram or WhatsApp group, I'm sure you may not find this page or this information

Toonerdyy:
Good Day house...pls i have a question
I applied for Bachelors under category B but my intention originally was going for studienkolleg but now i plan on going for a language training(German B2) before going into studienkolleg(i have German B1 Goethe certificate already)...
I don't know if I'm going to be allowed into the visa section

Or still if i decide to go for studienkolleg am i still going to be allowed into the visa section?
(Studienkolleg,BSC, language training are all in the same section B)

If you have an appointment at the embassy and have the documents, you will be allowed in for your interview.
But don't go there sounding confused and unclear. You will write a motivation letter, let that guide you.

Kuvasin:
My visa just came out today, school is resuming on the 3rd week of February. I will be booking my flight ticket next week.

Checkout flights on lastminute.de

If you wish to book there, I have a 20 USD voucher I can give you for free.

Amista:
Please how many months of insurance is needed atleast for the German residence permit??

How do you mean German residence permit?
All persons entering Germany for more than 3 months needs a suitable health insurance.

Fortunia123:
Good morning guys. I have a visa appointment next week and I have a few questions.

First, I haven’t been issued a funding confirmation for my blocked account but the money has been transferred and I have proof of payment. Will that suffice? (The person that helped me pay delayed the payment)

Secondly, I was given an admission letter for Winter semester 2022. Is the admission letter considered up-to-date? (I have requested for an enrollment certificate from my school and they have mailed it but I haven’t received it)

Your school dont have a portal you can simply download from?
Or tell them to send it via email or provide a Germany residence address in c/o, I am not sure they will mail it Nigeria.
You need a proof to of enrolment to validate your current admission, anyways the embassy will definitely confirm your studentship.

Kratos14:
Please what are the documents needed to be taken for an interview ?
Will all the documents be collected down and passport after the interview ?

Read the checklist of documents on the website. https://nigeria.diplo.de/ng-en/-/2568986

Some of you guys ain't helping yourselves.
If you're going for interview, you must have waited 1-13 months and by now, you should familiarise yourself with all nontechnical info.

*The motivation letter should be focused on:
Why Germany?
Why the particular course
Prospects after graduation
Why you must return to Nigeria after graduation.

aljpimp:
Please I need info. Please which school doesn't require a test of English as admission requirements. I currently have a master degree in a university in Europe. Can I also attach the masters degree along with other documents when applying for another master degree in a Germany university?

Sure you can be exempted if your MSc in Europe was in English too.

Unikoblenz, RPTU, Uni Köln, Uni Trier, Uni Bielefeld

daewoo2010:
Please when can one reapply after being denied visa. Reason for denial was because his sponsor didn’t have a clean record.

You can appeal by writing a remonstration letter WITH A DIFFERENT PROOF OF Funds, preferably a blocked account.

Uchepet:
The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Accra is only responsible for applicants who are permanent residents in GHANA, LIBERIA and SIERRA LEONE. The Embassy will NOT accept visa applications of persons who cannot provide evidence that their habitual abode (permanent residence of at least six months) is in one of the aforementioned countries.

How can we apply in Ghana when we need at least 6 months PR to enable us apply for German visa.

That's right. Its like a golden rule for all countries and visa applications. Although some might compromise if not clearly stated (as in some Gulf countries).

Responding to your last statement, it's possible for some people who have the means. It can save them a couple of months BUT consider also that Germany do not have Consular offices (for visas) in Liberia and S/Leone, so they might have a very little effect on waiting time too.
But we cannot be so sure that shorter waiting time equals higher success/approval rates.

Be guided.

Hi Mr. AAA

In a situation where one has admission to resume in April 1st 2023, already booked for appointment this January where it's started one has to be in school in March and is yet to get an appointment date, what do you advise the person does.

1. If not CAT A, defer the admission IF possible.
2. Temporarily forget Germany, try other countries if available
3. Begin prepare for proof of funds if not readily available
4. Do other things with your life (relevant skills learning, jobs, training etc.)
5. If deferment did not work out, apply again in June, or December as applicable.

If you're not a Cat A candidate, forget about this particular admission session except a number of your lectures and exams will be online (including paper submissions type of exams). Look at this in a positive way... Learn a skill, if you are IT inclined, befriend github.

goldsmiths:
Hi guys, please i have a question about the blocked account. When one is already in Germany can you use another bank account to receive your fintiba monthly payment or it has to be a bank account in your name?
Thanks

Your own account with a matching information, otherwise, you might run a risk of money laundering.

Others can say something.

But why would you think of using an account not in your name?

Immacharles:
Please guys I need your opinions on this matter. I am a chemical engineering graduate and I want to go for masters in Germany but most of the chemical engineering courses and related courses are taught in German, so I decided to go for Msc. Chemistry in Germany. What do you guys think about this? Cause I don't even know how to start my motivation letter knowing fully well that Chemistry is lower than Chemical engineering.

You graduated from a course that is higher than Chemistry and many of us had graduated also from a course 'lower' than Chemistry.

A higher degree graduate should at least know how to start a much lower letter.

Kratos14:
Please if you apply for a date for a master program and got a date but someone have a bachelor admission. Will the person still be interviewed and hope it’s not a problem ?

When appointment takes too long... Then changes should be considered.

Just go... Best wishes.
