ISPE:
Thanks man. Please could you point me to this updated policy for Jan. 2021? All I find about the update is that contributions changed.

I pay ~110€ currently. The ~175€ is the possible amount I could be paying from yr 30. I calculated from the quotes given here (https://www.tk.de/en/i-am-tk/tk-/how-much-is-the-contribution-for-students--2099012)

It was on a call conversation I had with DAK and TK earlier this year

ISPE:
I will turn 30 soon. Currently, I study and have TK in . Do you advise that I change to private insurance from 30? The charge from TK for when I turn 30 is in the upwards of €175, while that of Mawista (private) is ~€34. Also, are there are potential problems with having a private insurance on the long run?

If you want to continue working, I will advise you continue with TK and I don't think you will be able to move to private again with the new Jan 1, 2021 policy.
By the way, why are you paying up to 175? TK is 110 for the first month and about 104 subsequently and if you're working, it rises to about 153. Perhaps you should call them to ask.

Adisa471:
Oh really? Thanks.
But what did your friend submit apart from form A? Fintiba invoice, ission letter, university certificate, what else?

They will give you a list of all what you need to bring which you have listed here and/or must have gotten already anyway.
Nothing extraordinary.

Adisa471:
Or has anyone done this before? Please I just need to ask a few questions, that's all.

Yes. Sterling Bank. A friend did last week.

Walk into any Sterling Bank, request for Form A, walk away. Don't bother explaining details, just say for school fees, then walk away.
Fill it and submit same day or later. In a week, you'll be fine.

Christiano01:


I've got my reasons. But no one has answered my questions yet.

Can I use my 100 level transcripts from 2017 to apply for ission?

Why the 4 years gap?.

University and Embassy question

BKayy:

They can't say anything about it
They are even lucky that they are receiving anything.
After all, are they the owners of that land they are occupying?
There is a reason History was abolished.
The British doesn't want us to know what happened to the black lap dogs that came with them and displaced Itsekiri, Urhobo, Obollo, Yoruba and some Igbo from the shores.
It is no hard deal to confirm.
Have you ever asked yourself why they bear "Walter Heineken" as first and last name?

The British abolished History in Nigeria?
The British burnt all the history books related to Nigeria?
Why can't we face the evil before us, hold those responsible instead of blaming the British and western world all the time?

Kboy2020:
Please house am in north Cyprus, can I get some one who can help me in getting turkish visa for my interview in german embassy in Istanbul thanks.

Why go to Turkey for interview? Is the embassy not in Cyprus? Unless maybe you are not a legal resident in Cyprus otherwise, apply at Cyprus.

Privacy247:
Good evening everyone,
Please house, I will like to inquire if its possible for me to apply for a german visa while on a visit or tourist visa in Dubia?

NO.
You must be legal resident of the country you are applying from. Some requires you to have lived there for 3-6 months.

damiflo:
Good Morning House,

What is the equivalent of German Class 1. degree, I want to know if some Nigerian 2.1 grades fall into that category or it's only for first class.
I am looking at the possibility of booking an appointment in cat A, My degree is recent but it's 2.1.

Thank You.

Yes it does.
There's a formula for it.

Adisa471:
Please do you mean ission letter or enrollment letter? Cos I haven't enrolled yet, I only have the ission letter, do I need to enroll and pay semester fees?

Well, I wouldn't know anymore. I meant Enrolment Certificate/Letter but since you're likely to block before then, I can't advise anything.

Adisa471:
Hello,
I have one more question for those who have done this before.
One of the requirements from the bank for Form A is that you show a 'fee invoice' from the school, please in case of blocked , what do you use?

Enrolment letter should suffice...

Krissy01:
first of all I've not paid the money yet. I know it's not easy anywhere but I'm just trying to get my visa first. Netherland is expensive that's why I'm thinking of transferring schools (to a tuition free school in ) atleast I can fund my block but the thing is I don't know if I would be able to get my money back after transferring to the school that's where the issue is and I still haven't the answer I want�

You can always get your money back. Maybe in two weeks, they will credit the the transfer came from.

KrazzyAndy:
Good evening everyone

Also stating the fact that my brother is quite smart so if there's any scholarship available for him to take...thank you for your assistance.

Tell your brother to read the thread.

ohswagz:
I wanna pay semester fee for DIT... Anyone knows any easy online platform or route,?..Thanks

Best option is Worldremit if Nigeria will allow you to.
Otherwise someone in Europe or to help you and you pay in NGN.

TJ10:
Hello everyone

One of our requirements is:

"2 port photos according to biometric specifications"

I need clarification on what the "biometric specifications" are

250x350 mm I suppose. Read the SPECIFICATIONS and talk to a good photographer in a studio. Use a white background, without glasses... Anyway the photographer should know what is good.

Sanmi99:


Abeg o..I need advice on this ..

Carry the sponsor follow body...

OdogwuEkeke:
You can check on Nairaland for the Austria thread.

I don't understand why the curiosity of many young people doesn't drive them to SEARCH, RESEARCH.
You cannot always want someone to share everything with you, do some independent search.
You never can tell what you will find in the wild WWW.

Visit the public University sites, visit the student visa requirements for any country that interests you for study.

Hungary and Belgium are fair alternatives too.
Don't ask me about it though...

richgut:
I think Nigerians who are already in should be more active here, and guide the incoming ones.

Some of us are here and the issues on ground are things we can't easily comment on.

For those who are interested in leaving Nigeria to apply elsewhere and has the money, here is an advice... Look at those Countries listed in the file shared by OdogwuEkeke on the number of visas issued by countries, prey on the countries with the minimum number of visas and try to move there before applying.
that you MUST be resident in the country you seek to apply from.

I have been following the arguments and comments here lately.
I will say these from a neutral perspective and nobody should ask me whose 'side' am I:
1. Another country will give opportunity and welcome people they desire-it's not your right to come to another country and you can't force it!
2. If says they will no longer issue student visas to Nigerian citizens, what will you do? Force them? Appeal?
3. They spend millions of Euros to maintain the free public Universities and research centres, happen to be the most friendly place for intl students and they can regulate the student slots based on education needs assessment, character, international relationship and reputation.
4. This is an educational thread but it's unfortunate that many posts have not depicted the honesty, at least for studying.
5. You think all embassies in Nigeria don't know the meaning of Zoo, Japa, Shit-hole, Escape etc?
6. If you, I mean you yourself, is a consular officer for , a honest staff, read most comments on intent here, you will hardly recommend visas to be issued.
7. Finally, hide your hidden intents and try to focus on the basis of your application.

BigDawsNet:


Probably each parent contributed 30m

Is that not good enough to send ur kids abroad to study instead of letting the kidnappers cashing out

Why can't you just sympathise with them and move on?
If you have 30 million NGN in assets or money, will you use it to send your child abroad? Even if it's just one child, it's not easy. But in crisis like this, you can rally round, take loans, sell properties.

We must hold the government responsible.
Crimes and not only against the few rich people.
When Fulanis were ravaging the farms of the poor people, what would you advise them to do? Leave farming and start Oil and Gas Business?

There is room for evil that can go round for everyone irrespective of your class... if it is not holistically addressed ASAP!

Duisburg:
Can anyone who used Togo route give details on how he got Resident permit, please?

You are from Nigeria, an ECOWAS member state.
Look through the Togo Embassy website and possibly read the requirements or make a call through. If you have time and some money, also travel to Togo, for fun and adventure too.

You will be fine.

Shabamola:


I have...I just wanted someone experienced to enlighten me so as to avoid making mistakes

This is not a normal conversational forum.
Post your SPECIFIC query and if anyone has info, s/he will respond.
Since you have read some previous pages, you wouldn't need much help.

Shabamola:
Please, who can enlighten me on travel process?? Please I need somebody’s help

Read the first few pages of the thread, then randomly read up to 10 others.

OdogwuEkeke:
@MrAAA2 how you doing?

Mercy95:
Gurus in the house, biko i need you response ASAP

How possible is that?
I have not gotten anything ready
Please what do i do
I have been waiting since 2019 for date, i have even given up on waka until this evening
Please help�

Although it is probably late, you could have gone for the interview and 'discuss' your fate. If they ask you to block or get a sponsor, then you should and get back to them.

Kathy4jesus:
Guys pls what can I in “Certificate of English language skills” if I’m doing the online application? Since I had my BSc In English language should I ignore that part ? I know it won’t affect it being processed

If the school does not require an English proficiency test certificate, you can ignore.

Vlibray:

Just look for someone ok
Custom charges wey courier services go knack you enh. No be here

DHL hardly accept phones to Nigeria by the way.

daambassador:


Yea you're right, but my own is that the IELTS fees is too exorbitant and it's not something you're sure of getting in one sitting if you're not serious with burning of midnight candles.

Try TOEFL. It shouldn't be difficult since you already know the language.

Trinity33:
Goodmorning great people, please is anybody coming from the USA to Nigerian soon, or you know anybody coming from USA to Nigerian soon, please and please quote me let me you.
A phone was to be sent to me, but the cost of shipping was really on the high side, i tried to use DHL, or if you know any other cheap courier please. Thanks my people, one love.

TNT or FedEx

ComputerWiz007:
Good evening people I'm a newbie here hoping to apply for a MSc soon. Please can I use a letter of English proficiency from the school I graduated from as a Language requirements?
And which of requirements below is best.

You don't have any language problem regarding this school's language requirements.
You have studied in English, you have written a thesis or project in English.
You're good to go. In unclear cases, you can always email the school stating that your entire education in Nigeria has been in English so they may wave English test for you.
However, some schools insist on TOEFL, IELTS and likes.
