Pls What are the site's I can use to create tabular CV or how to create the type of CV acceptable in Germany. Thanks

I used intelligent CV (it's an app) and is very efficient

walexy06:
You were given deadline probably due to your enrollment deadline which is soon I supposed.
I don't know if they will extend the deadline for you (They should if you still have time to resume) but you have to update them on the challenge at hand.
Blocking is your best option, SL is crazy nowadays due to Covid.
Wish you best of luck.

Thank you so much Walexy.... How long does it take to open Fintiba please and the said amount to reflect in it?

Hello everyone,
Please who knows if the embassy gives an extension on the deadline to submit supporting documents after a visa interview? I was asked to provide an updated Sponsorship letter, which is already been processed at the foreign office in Germany but I'm afraid it might not get to me before the deadline (4th of March).

MICng:

Ok thanks please is it online or I will go to their office?

On online

MICng:

My cousin did Allianz insurance and it was good. You can also try leadway travel insurance

Just a quick piece of advice for those going for Bachelor interview, please try to study specific courses related to your program. I did a test today but I always thought the test was for masters students...

Thank God I wasn't caught off guard with the questions( 10 questions 15min) and not much of the interview questions about Germany and my school like I expected. After taking the test, VO okay we will begin with your interview now.

VO: Any prior degree?
Me: Yes ND Business administration, and HND Marketing
VO: isn't this course offered in any university here in Nigeria?

VO: If you must study abroad, why Germany? Why not Canada, USA or England
Me: Relatable time zone with Nigeria which will help me keep in touch with family as well as being affordable and feasible.

VO: you'll be notified to submit your passport soon.

Well that was it guys, I wish everyone of us the best.

Please I need a Place to stay for a night in lagos closed to the embassy. Is there any cheap hotel around?

Hey man, what's happening are you in Lagos already.

MICng:
Please I need a Place to stay for a night in lagos closed to the embassy. Is there any cheap hotel around?

I'm afraid very close to the embassy will be expensive as it located around Victoria Island but you can get a hotel around Lagos Island igboshere road or marcathy street Obalende for N6000 and from there you can get a bike or Uber to the embassy for around N1000
Try New World hotel igboshere.

Hello, please I'd like to know when you had your interview at the embassy. I had mine 2nd December, 2021 but up until this moment I have not gotten any update about my application.

Hello, sending an enquiry email to the Federal Foreign Office Germany might help you, especially because you've had your interview.
Here is the email address
zzVISABVA@bva.bund.de

Hardeywale05:
Please, for those that have applied for undergraduate courses in Germany with HND results through uni-assist. I want to ask if I'm going to send only my HND certificate and transcript or I will send both ND and HND certificates and transcript?

I sent both when I did mine

MICng:
Good evening everyone. Please how much is prepared envelop and where can I get it

Prepared envelop should be at most 3k (also depends on your address)but you want to make sure to have extra money with you and you can get it at the embassy either with DHL or FedEx. If you don't mind, when is your appointment? Also how much is the exact conversion rate of €75 to naira?

Beegb:
