God is great indeed.
Congratulations once more.

But please if I may ask, is it possible to just submit the travel insurance as well and also leave your passport with them on the day of interview?

They usually return passport during the interview. The insurance (both medical & travel) depends on if you have them there with you or not. For me, I used Fintiba plus, (Mavista to be exact), that comes with everything including the both type of insurances. If you used fintiba plus to do your blocked funds, you can submit it immediately together with your documents during the interview.

If not you will be asked to submit it later together with your passport.

Hi everyone, thanks for taking time to answer our questions 👍.I have a masters admission to uni Hamburg for 1st October and plan on using a sponsorship letter. Am in category B and had booked appointment mid last year.
D question is should I
1. deferre my admission to next year summer
or winter semester or
2. Pay for enrollment and take academic leave
or something like that
3. Take online classes if available
Pending when am called for visa
appointment.
Also can my sponsorship letter given this year be used for next year summer or winter semester in d case I don't get appointment this year

Did you have an admission letter when you booked for appointment?or you were yet to get Admission?

Beress:
Pls I need your view on this

For someone who got a PhD scholarship from a research group in Bielefeld, should he book his appointment in Lagos or Abuja considering the clause that those that got scholarship can book appointment in Abuja. The person resides in the south

Abuja could be great. A friend did his at Abuja.

Hello house, please I need someone to attend to my question...

My passport will expire by November. Is it advisable that I book for appointment now or I have to renew my passport before I can book for appointment? I have my admission letter with me already.

Wow! Some pretty tough and tricky questions. Most of the questions were related to your chosen field/course of study.

Thanks very much for sharing your interview transcript. I think those of us still waiting for an appointment definitely need more of this to better prepare.

CuriousStudent:

I booked for d appointment last year June and I did not get any admission then. I only got one this year

MrAAA2:

Pls did he reside in the south and got scholarship too?

Guys please what's the best and affordable university to apply for masters or postgraduate studies?

Kennie28:
yes it takes over 1yr and some months to get an appointment date

do you mean visa appointment for study?

justt:


Well, not really.
The security guys were the ones trying to cause confusion. They said I must have the amount with me even if it will eventually be returned because I already told them I was on scholarship.

Actually, I tried to go with the amount but the lack of new notes couldn't allow. When they told me I must have the cash with me, I tried to get 30k from POS but the guys said he was going to deduct 10k as his charges!

I just went back to the Embassy to see how things would play out and fortunately, I was eventually allowed in. However, another guy who wasn't with the cash was turned back in my presence although I'm not sure what he was applying for and if he has any scholarship.

Are you also an AvH Fellow?

Since you got a scholarship... pls did you book your appointment in the Abuja office?

They barely asked anything serious.

1. why are you coming to Germany to study the course you’re studying?
2. what is the full title of your course?
3 . You graduated with your first degree 6 years ago, why did you decide to do your master now instead of earlier?
4. you graduated with a 2.2 explain how you will finish this course with flying colors? (* to ans this I ended up printing and sending them my first semester results I was doing online in my Göttingen, to prove I was really doing well in class).

That was it

The rest were basic information about me and submitted documents.

hmmm how person go answer that number 4 if you don't have any evidence at hand

Very easy, use Nigeria University strike on and strike off as a reason which affected many students academics performance.

Corona lockdown for those who were still in school 2020

Beress:

Really didn't know. From the south and lived up north.

If you could use a Google search, that would render this info.
Public universities are tuition-free but you pay semester contribution fee between 150-500 Eur per semester.

Play around with Google, daad.de/en and uni-assist.de.

Guys please..
How does Germany go with POF.

You must open a bank account with either fintiba or expatrio and fund it with total of €11417 Euros.They will send you a document which is POF for the Embassy

So there is a general rule for lowered performance of students/graduates pre and post COVID-19?
People should be encouraged to learn how to answer personal questions.
There's no a single rule for all.

Did you type this question on Google or ChatGPT before even coming here?

I see no curiosity in the minds of some members here and it is sad, especially for persons who wants to study abroad. Then we thing of negative profile when being queried by Consular authorities.

Threads like this are sometimes policed by Consular officers.

I understand the challenges, but as young persons and students/graduates, we should be markers of curiosity and self fact finders.

Most people do use google or whatever means to get their information and even that some still need explanations from those who have passed through the processes base on their experience. As we say auf Deutsch „sicher ist sicher“

Montenate:

Please can anyone confirm if the letter of sponsorship required should be original or if a copy would suffice for the interview

original

They usually return passport during the interview. The insurance (both medical & travel) depends on if you have them there with you or not.

Of course we all do ask questions and I do ask a lot too. That is the essence of this thread and Internet.

Information you find by yourself are more dear to you, you could understand fundamentals better. In more complicated issues or for clarity case, others can help.

I admonish people to seek for preliminary information independently, from there, they can be part of their own journey.

Generally, if you wish to travel to any country on any visa, especially on study visa, please always visit the country's embassy website for clear info and other online sources. Then, you can ask specific questions.

We have had people coming here and ask 'what is the best university for master degree in Germany?'.

We can do better and let's up our games and show that we have genuine inquisitive spirits.

For the question @Camelcase
POF is real like Madrid. It can be only be demonstrated in 2 ways:
1. Blocked account in a bank account in Germany up to 11,500 (including the bank German bank charges). This locked money will be available to you at a rate of about 940 Eur per month for 1 year AFTER you ARRIVE Germany.

2. A Declaration of Commitment certificate (colloquially called Sponsorship Letter/SL) where a person living in Germany can apy to his/her local government/city that s/he knows you and is capable and willing to fund your cost of sustenance in Germany for at least 1 year. This person is usually a relative or close person, not receiving any social benefits from the German government, have enough money (about 950 Eur per month) to spare after all his/her expenses are paid. When this person applies for this certificate in Germany,there will be verifications of this person's capabilities, if positive, s/he will receive a certificate declaring that s/he will be supporting your stay during your stay in Germany for at least 1 year. That is the letter s/he will mail to you in Nigeria or wherever to submit along side other documents at the interview stage.

Quick one guys, can Leadway Travel insurance work for the insurance requirement? I intend doing health insurance when I get there as it will be covered by my funding agency.

Thanks, but I already sent an E-Mail to them and it was for two different appointments. Short term

Immacharles:
I applied for the AI masters program for DIT(deggendorf). I didn't see DS during the application. I guess DS is not available for the winter program, or am I wrong

Please is there a group chat for DIT students...
