[@enojemz]

How? It's not available on the consulate site?

[@Tata-bd9nx]

Hey, do you schedule for the appointment at the visa afetr you've already secured a jon in Germany, done all the IELTs, etc?

[@adazplace_]

You have to get the appointment at the German embassy in your country.

[@yusufmuhammed4584]

There's no link for the Chancenkarte appointment on the Website. Can you please share if you have a direct link.

[@ayoaduku665]

Someone who is 45years, can automatically be eligible under opion A, that is: their degree or professional qualitifcation is fully recognised by Germany... In this case they do not have to satisfy the 6point based system, The point based system is only required for those with degree or vocational training *recognised in their country of study* but not or partially recognised in Germany.

[@adazplace_]

I believe if the person is applying for OC- they still need to have the needed points.

[@adazplace_]

[@IBEABUCHIKELECHI]

Hi Adaz place Pls if you have a sponsor already, do you still need that amount of money before you can apply for the O.C.

[@adazplace_]

If your sponsor is legally resident in Germany and they have the sponsorship letter for you, it should be sufficient

[@emmabishop-mf4bw]

As an unskilled and at 55 yrs can one still apply for opportunity card?

[@xozeintk8093]

I'm unsure if I fall under the first category if the German system recognizes my degree. Do I need to present my IELTS or A2 certificates in this category? Bcoz Point based Cat 2 only we need to show language Certificates. Please clear this doubt for me.

[@adazplace_]

The question of presenting an English certificate mostly stems from what your embassy requests for

[@emmanuelgbatoe]

For someone who is in Germany to write a concern letter to support an applicant who does not have money to deposit into a block account, what are documents he or he needs to render the support? I mean If one who is in Germany wants to sponsor an applicant of the program for accommodation. Can someone who is a US military on an assignment in Germany provide a concern letter for applicant of this program in substitution of the block account or proof of funds?

[@adazplace_]

The letter has to come from someone legally resident in Germany and they need to go to the foreigner office in their vicinity and apply for it.

Hello Ada, thanks for this video. If both spouse are applying and they both have the skills and can fend for the kids, is it still possible to come with them?

[@adazplace_]

Hi Lindyway, To be honest, I don't think spouses can come with kids so long as they have the opportunity card visa. At least one of them needs to change to an EU blue card for your kids to come over.

For now, the Nigerian embassy website has no information on the opportunity card visa but I’ll update you as I know more💕

Well explained. Please note that the Nigerian website now has a lot of information. There is a webinar to be hosted by the embassy, coming up on the 16th of this month.
