fellow nairalander I greet you all

straight 2 the matter. I have about 500k with me at the moment and I want to use the money to process my visa to south Africa, I have friends over there who have been their for like 2yrs and there all promise to help me if I get there..

Now my question is ::
1)will 500k be enough to process my visa to SA
2)is it a good idea to invest my last card on a mission I don't even have guarantee on ( cos I dey doubt dos frnds of mine).

abeg I really need your advice and bashing

Better you stay in Nigeria, those friends only wants to share their bills with you, and leave you to your faith thereafter, be sure of a 100k minimum income from a Legit source before coming here

your friends might play you. i have heard of many cases where people are promised to be helped by "friends and relatives" only to get played when the get here. Make sure you have a solid plan you have planned out by yourself.

Your money is just enough but do make sure you spend it wisely otherwise you might just blow off your budget. But how long do you intend on staying in SA for?

what kind of a visa are you gonna use?

I dunno... maybe like six month visa,wen I get there I will renew it. Or is that not possible??

@ Op,please stay back in Nigeria to hustle. You can go to SA to visit and see things for yourself that will help you in making a decision. South Africa is very expensive to live in (the safe areas). That 500k you think is big will finish in SA within 1 month or 2months after processing your visa and flight ticket.
My advice for you is to visit the so called friends first,I bet you;they cannot help you

Yup

They don't do permits here anymore, and SA only issue 3 months Visa, after which u are required to return back to Nigeria or risk a 5years ban

if you are using a visitor's visa you cannot renew that one within SA you will have to leave the Republic after a certain number of days.

Usually visas like study, work and business visas will allow you to be in the country for as long as six months without renewing your permit. Normally these can also be renewed in SA when they are about to expire

Please do not depend on friends some people might be stranded and looking for fresh meat to maga.Really do research and plan your trip properly so you wont regret it

eddiebruk:


Yup

where in SA are you?
