I heard someone say I need to have my documents ready before making any first step like my: School documents, certificate and Passport.


I also heard about booking appointments, block chain and the rest. I don't understand all these.

I believe I will if someone can make it succinct.

Then, I start applying and others follows.

I just need someone who knows about this stuff to assisted me by telling me what to do.

I can't assist you personally but I may have one or two pieces of advice.

You can send me mail if you would want to hear what I want to tell you.

Ezemeiyogu:


This is a thread with different parts. This part is the 8th page. All questions you need can be found from page one of this part. At least that's the best place to start. When you have gone through that reading you can now ask for updates such as the current waiting period for category B visa applicant amd the current block account amount (these two have changed since the this part 8 enquiries started).


Kindly follow sequentially. If I had enough time, I would write everything for you to understand but I don't. Incase no one does that for you, resort to what I advised above. Good luck.

Light78:
please sire, write to me everything from step one.


I am a fast learner. I will grab it quickly

Here is the part 8


An incredible job by all contributors including those who ask questions and those who provide answers, job well done!

This is part 7 https://www.nairaland.com/5296943/general-german-student-visa-enquiries

The following steps will help newbies (Thanks to CassieV for the tips)


Most of the schools in Germany are tuition free even for international students, you only get to pay a certain amount as semester fees say between 100-400 euros and most times the semester fee comes with a semester ticket to aid in transportation in your city or town.
However, before you're granted a student visa, you have to prove that you can take care of your living expenses with one of the following means ;
1. Block account: The estimated living expenses for a student in a month is 720euros, when you multiply that by 12 months, you get 8640euros. This is the amount you're required to block in an already opened account with either Deutsch bank, Fintiba or Xpatrio. It is called a block account because you will not be able to withdraw everything at once, only 720euros will be released to you every month.
2. Sponsorship letter: If you have a relative living and working legally in Germany, they can get you this letter. They'll have to visit the alien office in their city and will be required to provide some documents and pay a certain fee. The letter will be sent to you when they receive it so that you can go with it for your visa interview.
3. Scholarship: This is usually the best if you have the scholarship, your visa will be granted in under 2 weeks after interview. So try and look for scholarships you can apply to.

Now that you understand the financial situation, let's go into the application process.
To search for schools, click on this link
https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/?p=l&q=&fos=0&lang[]=2&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list
filter your search to make it easier, there are English taught courses there.
Generally, the very important documents needed to apply to schools in Germany are;
1. Transcript
2. English Proficiency
3. School Certificates (Degree, Waec, etc)
However, depending on the school, some other documents needed are as follows.
4. Curriculum Vitae
5. Motivation letter
6. Reference letters
7. GRE test
8. Etcetera.. Visit your prospective school website and find out the documents they need from you.
Note: You don't apply with your original documents, you have to make photocopies of them and Certify them in High court or a Notary public. If you stay in Lagos, you can certify at the German Embassy too. You'll have to book appointment for that.
For those planning to go for a Bachelors course, you need a 100level transcript from a university to apply for a BSc program in germany. WAEC alone will not be enough and No, OND will not do, you need a HND.

For the application proper, it is always important to go through the website of the schools you want to apply to, you'll get a lot of information form there concerning how to apply. Some schools do only online applications, some requires that you send your application documents to them by post after applying online, some you send your documents as pdf to their email address and then you get the uni assist crew.
Like I said earlier, it is important to go visit and read the websites.

When you get your admission letter, open a block account immediately(that is if you don't already have a sponsorship letter) and as soon as you get your account details, send an email to the embassy requesting for a visa interview date.
You need these to get an interview date:
1. Admission letter
2. Block account/sponsorship letter/scholarship letter
3. International passport data page(scanned)
Then your Full name and Resident address.

Prepare for your interview
Go for your interview

1. Visa appointment takes 22 months for undergraduate study before you get a date. First decide if that's feasible for your before you consider Germany

2. Average semester fee for public schools is €350 per semester , and €10,000 per year for private schools. There's no need wasting your resources on a private school because almost all top schools in Germany are public and Germany is not crazy about reputation like the US. All schools are standard.

3. You'll need a block account of €11,208. You'll be able to access €934 from it monthly when you get to Germany. It's called block account because you'll "block" it in a German account. An alternative to this is to use a sponsorship letter. It's a letter given to you by someone working in Germany who can afford to pay the €934 to you after his/her own monthly expenses. Each city have there requirements.


Consider the above before you think of Germany

JAPAHTML:


Hi thank you so much for your response normally I have no issues with the visa appointment period, again since I only have WAEC cert. Can I apply to their (public) University directly? For the Block account stuff is there anyway we can bypass this like in the case of proof of funds, Is there a way an agent can or some sort of person can help with the sponsorship letter and get paid?
Cause normally I can save upto €7k and I think I can manage it while hustling for more over there (flight and Visa application money apart) and again since the situation is like this now what's your advice in terms of Applying for Admission so that it can match with the Appointment time So that the Admission won't be revoked thanks for your time

Hannania:
You can't get direct admission with your WAEC in Germany. You need a 100l result from any school.

Secondly, Germany is not like the UK for POF. I explained it to you above. Go and read it again. As for sponsorship letter, you're ideally meant to get it from someone you know because you have to prove your relationship with the person. If you do other wise and get scammed or whatnot, you're on your own. I'll advise you stop asking such questions online. It can be detrimental and possibly ruin your chances. Good luck

Gabriel2308:
please stop misleading people , you can get admission with only your waec result in germany , don't listen to anybody trying to change your mind as long as you haven't got any degree and you want to go for a BSc course your waec certificate is enough i have a friend who got admitted recently BSc and she used her waec online what are you saying

Hannania:
Lol, It's always I have a friend. BSC admission in Germany requires 100 level transcript as NECO and WAEC are not sufficient for direct admission. If you're one of those agents, I advise you avoid this thread.

For all the newbies, use DAAD.de and Uni-assist to check for admission requirements.

brown1234:


Is it with or without anmeldung

Ayo1011:
Please for people with knowledge of these areas,

Is if feasible to live in Augsburg and study in Weiden

nellystrong7:
Not convenient. Train connection to Weiden from Augsburg takes longer time. If you have morning lectures, it would be difficult to arrive early.
If you can get accommodation in Munich, it would be best. Train connection from Munich Central Station(Hauptbahnhof) is better and you can arrive early for lectures too. From Munich you have a straight connection unlike from Augsburg. Also you have a better chance of getting a better part-time job in Munich than in Augsburg. Munich is a bigger city than Augsburg. There are numerous jobs for students.

Hey guys. I’m really confused now cause I didn’t know German appointment dates takes long until a friend sent me a link of this thread which I went through from the beginning till now. I’ve been admitted to university of Bremen and I’ve paid my semester fees because if I didn’t pay within two weeks, the admission would be given to someone else. I’m planning to apply for the deutchland scholarship so as to use it as a means of moving to category A.
I’m confused and don’t know what to do since appointment date takes so long now.
And what other things can be done to fasten the appointment date if there’s no scholarship cause have paid semester fees.
Anyone admitted to university of Bremen here please can we link up so as to serve as guide please?

Would be needing you guys advice please cause I’m scared. Was thinking I would be able to resume October this year

floxybba6:

Ayo1011:


Thank you so much for this response, meaning oth is now out of my options. I'd liked two-stay in Munich for the job opportunities, but in plan to squat with a relative in Augs till in balance.

Thoughts on Deggendorf, Regensburg and Nuremberg?
