Dear @Augustino2k7,

Welcome back to the Wefugees Community and thank you for reaching out to us again.

We always recommend not to opened new threads in case you have further inquiries on the same topic but to use, for instance, the comment function instead. This helps to keep an overview and relevant information in once place. I will link your first question(s) here and I will close the other thread you just opened which contained the information: "in.my iD  the put a stamp on it 30 months ban please can you explain  and it has pass sine last year's". I hope this is okay for you.

I do not fully understand what kind of information you are looking for in your above raised question. As I wrote in my last answer, I assume that the German authorities were aware of your actual identity (even without submitting your passport) as they were able to deport you to Nigeria. Do you remember if they were asking the Nigerian embassy for support? Probably you were issued travel documents by the Nigerian authorities, right? Even if the period of your re-entry ban formally passed now, the fact that you were not providing your actual identity in Germany will not make it easier to obtain a visa, I am afraid. In any case, applying for a new passport will be the first step of the whole process. Unfortunately, there is no other official way to come to Germany than applying for a visa at the German embassy in Nigeria. At this point I want to refer to my thoughts in the last answer again.

However, don't hesitate to get back to us with any (specific) further question. Preferably within this thread.

All the best,

Meike
