Talk to a student

Thirty minutes with someone who has already done it.

Comparison tables answer what things cost. They do not answer "my transfer has been sitting somewhere for nine days and my visa appointment is Thursday." For that you want a person who has been through it — from your country, with your paperwork, within the last year or two.

€20 for a thirty-minute conversation
on WhatsApp, at a time you both choose
How it works

Three steps, no account needed

01

Tell us where you are

Leave your email below and message us on WhatsApp with your country, your university if you have one, and roughly when you are moving.

02

We match you

We find a student who made the same move — same country wherever possible, so the bank transfer rules and consulate quirks actually match yours.

03

You talk

Thirty minutes, on WhatsApp, at a time that suits you both. Ask anything. If we cannot match you properly, you pay nothing.

What this is

Experience, not advice

We want to be precise about this, because the distinction protects you as much as it protects us.

What you get

  • Someone who opened a blocked account from your country and remembers exactly how long each stage took
  • Honest experience of a provider's support when something went wrong
  • What their consulate actually asked for on the day
  • How they moved the money, and what it cost them in fees nobody mentioned
  • What they wish they had known about insurance before enrolment
  • The unglamorous first-week things — Anmeldung, bank account, SIM card

What this is not

  • Not legal, immigration or visa advice — we are not lawyers or licensed advisers
  • Not financial or insurance advice, and not a recommendation to buy any product
  • Not a guarantee about your visa outcome, which only the authorities decide
  • Not a substitute for your university's international office, which is free and official
  • Not an agent service — we do not fill in your application or handle your documents

Students share their own personal experience of a process they went through. Rules change, and what applied to them may not apply to you. Always confirm anything binding with the provider, your university and the relevant German authority.

What people ask about

The questions comparison tables cannot answer

My transfer has not arrived and my appointment is next week Which provider was faster for applicants from my country? How much did the intermediary bank actually take? Should I take the bundled insurance or arrange my own? What did the consulate ask you for that was not on the list? I am over 30 — what did you do about insurance? How did you send money under LRS limits? Did your university accept private insurance? How long did the refund take after closing the account? What did your first month actually cost?

Do you want to know which insurance or blocked account is right for you?

Leave your email and we will connect you with a student who has already made the same move. Twenty euros for thirty minutes — and nothing to pay if we cannot match you properly.

Thank you. Message us on WhatsApp with your country and roughly when you are moving, and we will match you — usually within a day.

By continuing you agree we may contact you about your move. Students share their own experience — this is not legal, immigration, financial or insurance advice. See our privacy policy.
