I am in the USA, I Studied International Business Masters. So i got a conference in International Business in one of the Universities in the USA in 2018 and i travelled for the conference and came back to Germo mean while you may be given 2 years visa when you apply for conference so that is how i left, i am not studying here i am tired of studies. I wanna make money. COVID has changed alot but after the covid i believe things will be better so if you must apply for a conference get one that relate to your field of study paid or unpaid, package yourself well. Be so confidence on your interview day, when answering questions from visa Officer look directly to his or her eyes ( make eyes contact) you must know or research more on the conference to defend yourself, relate the conference to one of your course if the visa Officer ask may be. Make sure you are either in your 2nd or 3rd semester so that they will not bounce you.

Exactly my plan.
Because if you go to a new country, you also start from scratch, maybe another masters etc and your permanent residence is not assured unless you go to Canada which is more flexible.

For me, the essence of leaving Nigeria is to have a permanent residence of a country with a working system where I can make money and have rest of mind.

So even if you don't like Germany, get your papers and then leave for the country you like instead of going there to start afresh.
Well everyone has their own plan

Hi i am not always here because of hussle i will check now and get back to you.

I just sent you a pm now, I am currently in Germany and I needed few assistance from you bitte

Basalt:


If I get you clearly, you mean after the two years expires, you are expected to go back to Nigeria?
If that is the case, I think it's not for me because going back to bse in Nigeria now is not in my options at all.
If I must leave Germany then that should be to live permanently in another western country or where the option of leaving permanently is higher.

105-30 =75
Multiply by 15 months which are the number of months I have used private insurance, you will get
€1125.
This amount is what I would have spent if I used public health insurance.

Very important information about health insurance

I would like to use this opportunity to point out a very important thing you need to understand if you want to stay in Germany.
In Germany, there are two health insurance companies.
1. Private (Mawista, Care concept etc)
2. Public (TK, AOK etc)

1. Private health insurance: Very cheap initially but it's a big trap especially if you want to stay in Germany because the price increases when you get older until it gets to a point when it will be a big burden for you and changing back to public health insurance will be very hard if not impossible.
Also, some companies don't accept it for full-time employment and depending on the selected option, you might not be cover fully. If you are always sick or have health issue, please STAY AWAY from private health insurance as a student
2. Public health insurance: More than twice the rate of private insurance initially but becomes cheaper with time when you get older, it also covers everything and acceptable by all companies.

My experience that made me bring out my time to write all these.
I came to Germany and started using private health insurance because it was very cheap and I actually saved money using it because I was paying only 30 euro per month instead of 105 euros my classmates are paying using TK.

Everything was going well until this year, I was converted from Addeco to full-time Amazon staff and they told me that because it's full time job, I must present a public health insurance otherwise the contract won't be possible.
Then I researched fully about health insurance and discovered that private insurance is actually not a good decision for those that want to base in Germany.
Please research about it and get informed.
I also heard that once you change from public to private, you can't change back to public again.

A friend in Germany told me that he was told to pay €198 monthly by a PUBLIC health insurance because he is over 30 years of age. How do such student survive with such an amount?

Basalt:




It's really much o o o, let the person use TK na. I was paying 105 with TK before my company took over. Though I am still less than 30

Basalt:


I just researched about it.
TK is above 105 for those that are above 30yrs.

You can read more about health insurance here
https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/wiki/health_insurance

Because I work with a company that pays my insurance, I don't have to pay that even when I reach 30 provided the contract still runs.

Paperworka:


he said that he has confirmed from all the public health insurance and they all said same thing (€198+). So my question is[b] how do such student survive?[/b]

Magma012:
This is what we use to survive in Germany �� after BA is finished... we work for 5-8 hours with 45mins unpaid break (pause) inbtw for 11-12€ per hour...,

Is not easy offloading those containers of goods, but @ the end of the month, smiles on your face will take off ll the pains �.,

If your not strong �� You can’t do it.

To folks in Germany;

What are the Pre and Post-graduation opportunities for those in the field of management sciences (e.g Msc in International business, Business Management, etc) ?

Also, must a student who graduate from this field only work or search for opportunities in it, even though he had taken some IT courses and certifications while studying?

Thanks

eastafro:
good for you my guy. but you are right depends on the way you see it. not everybody is chasing the money bag in the general scheme of things . life is more than working and saving money for me. dont get me wrong i like money , i made a few too considering i came to germany with almost no money (100-300 euros).i only say this because you made it sound like making money and getting citizenship is eveything there is to it.
to make things clear, first you cant really make as much money as you want to unless the money that i think you making makes you happy(key point) as a student since we are students for now. even after graduating germany have among the lowest salary range even for tech jobs. that socialist argument is crap , i can explain on other post. this is just for arguments sake ,i dont really hate this fact of germany.
second , language thing might actually depend on people , some people are good at learning languages some are not. accepting that should come naturally for a happier life.but from my observation most students and seniors or graduates dont really speak german ,most gave up or are just at the intermidiate basic level. that means thats enough to get by,work and stuff.
one thing you mentioned here is the possibility of getting a job without german, again i think you missed the idea of the post. i know you can get a job from my own observation in tech, but again if thats okay for you , thats not a problem.i read on reddit that this working folks who dont speak much of german feel like they dont fit in outside work.
personally i think the language is representative of everything the germans are , difficult. lol
unless you become german yourself, meaning speaking in par as the natives and understanging the culture ,wit and everything else that makes germans germans , it could be difficult.
here is the thing i just dont see myself being a robot , just working and lacking sense of belongingness if that makes sense for you . in germany no matter your status , money or skill you have you are still an aüslander . thats not the case in usa, uk, canada in my opionion and research(which i do very well, i was just being modest to get poeples opionion here,lol) , i can not see myself settling in a country where seeing black dude/girl is not common for the locals that they turn and look at you ,lol
where my kids be "odd" ones in the flock , no thank you.
here is my ideal place to settle...common language, friendlier people,you are not seen as an outsider.
interms of job , i am mature enough to accept finding job is difficult everywhere. canada is no different.
and since you ended with a quote for you . ignorance is a bliss ,lol . no offense

Lahun:
I think you have to out things into perspective.

First of all Canada GDP per capita is only $300 below Germany's, so it is not poorer than Germany the way you put it.

Secondly Canada Economy like USA's is based on oil & gas, energy, manufacturing and services. I'm not sure if you have seen the US economy decline because of fall in oil prices?? Instead Canada economy is growing... like US's

I understand you really enjoy and love Germany but you shouldn't say other countries are both of or that they will go down. The thing with Canada is expectations... people go there with the mindset that they will bad white collar jobs without adapting to the local market skills, and it is really bitter for them to have to go back and do these kind of jobs they never thought of, just to pay for their bills and rent. In Germany on the other hand people go with either a tourist visa or a study visa and are prepared to hustle... who would you think will enjoy most the first year on arrival? Those who land in Canada as permanent reaidents and skilled or those who land in Germany with a tourist or student visa?

Basalt:
Honestly, I give it to those students in Germany that start another MSc after finishing one. It is indeed not easy to do an MSc here in Germany let alone doing TWO.
It is brain tasking especially if you are in science-related courses. Their Maths no be here

Larrydogged07:
Can one move from here to the US. I mean is it advisable to do the visa interview from here or go back to Nigeria to do it? Has anybody been denied or accepted from here?

SOLARPOWER1:


What are you going to do in US. That's what matters, and that's what Visa interview is all about.
