ok,bt pls I wnt to know if its official from the embassy that there is no more payment of repartration fee.tanx

Its official and i can confirm to you that repatriation fee is no longer required for study visa cos i just submitted my application last week. The newly amended immigration law in SA clearly states it. nx[/quote]

For study visa, the visa fee is N8,600 but you will pay bank charges of N1,575 bringing the total to N10,175.00

You will need to photocopy your yellow card (Front and Back) and you don't need to pay for the same flight reservation. One your visa comes out, you are free to choose your desired airline

HankVoight:
Evening,
1. Please in respect to flights booking; do I need to pay for the flight before I submit my visa application? If No, am I to pay for the same flight reservation I submitted to the embassy which has a 72 hour reservation holding since i choose the 'pay later' option OR can i move on and pay for another flight on a later day?
2. how much is the visa processing fee for study permits; is it 8,600 or 18,000?
3. Do I need to photocopy my vaccination card?

Thank you for your help.

[Masters-Student-Wins-Top-Honour-at-SA-Mathematical-Society-Congress__]
Maths boffin Ms Titilayo Agbaje.

UKZN Masters student in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (SMSCS), Ms Titilayo Agbaje, won first prize in the Masters presentations category at the 57th Annual Congress of the South African Mathematical Society (SAMS) on the Unisa Science Campus in Roodepoort, Gauteng.

Agbaje, who is completing her Masters degree in Mathematics under the supervision of Professor Sandile Motsa, presented on a chapter of her Master’s dissertation, namely, the Chebyshev spectral perturbation approach for unsteady heat and mass transfer by MHD mixed convection flow over an impulsively stretched vertical surface with chemical reaction effect.

She said she was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiastic response she received for her presentation at SAMS. Delegates were intrigued by her topic and impressed at the sincerity and confidence which she displayed in the pursuit of her work.

‘Being a woman in a male-dominated discipline and taking the first position at a Congress like this proves that women can not only make it in a male-dominated discipline, but excel,’ said Agbaje.

Attending the Congress, said Agbaje, allowed her the opportunity to meet mathematicians working in numerous aspects of the discipline and enabled her to learn from others, something which she believes will greatly impact her future research.

Despite her current success, Agbaje admits that mathematics was actually her second choice, and a subject she found challenging during her undergraduate years at the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) in Nigeria. During the course of her studies, however, Agbaje’s interest in mathematics began to grow as she realised its vital importance in relation to all other subjects and saw its applications in real life.

‘I see mathematics as the mother of all subjects,’ said Agbaje. ‘In addition, mathematics is an important contributor to society because there are lot of elements of Mathematics, most especially in my area, applied mathematics, which can be used everywhere in daily life. For example, the chemical effect I considered in this particular SAMS presentation is applicable in crude-oil production, cooling and crystallisation of chemical materials, grain separation in farming, uranium production, drying technology and much more.’

Agbaje, who arrived at UKZN in 2013 to begin her Master’s degree, said the research facilities and infrastructure the University provided to assist students with the completion of their research had made all the difference.

She hopes to continue her research to the level of a PhD in applied mathematics and said she could see herself becoming a professor in the subject.

Agbaje said major factors in her success were her strong faith in God and the financial support and encouragement of her parents. She also thanked her fiancé, sisters and cousin for their support, understanding and encouragement during the challenging task of completing her dissertation.

She said the support of her supervisor, Professor Motsa, proved invaluable in her success. ‘I will always be indebted to him for introducing me to new numerical methods of solving complex nonlinear boundary value problems and thereby inspiring my interest in the area of Applied Mathematics and shaping my future,’ said Agbaje.congrats....proudly Nigerian product.

Dean and Head of School, Professor Kesh Govinder, said Agbaje and Motsa had ensured the continuation of UKZN’s long standing tradition of winning awards at SAMS!

Cases are not the same, I think in his case they asked him all those questions because he hadn't paid the hotel so as people they thought he wouldn't even be staying in one. So by I.D he meant you should atleast if you didn't pay your hotel there should be someone with a south african identity.

I just registered with Momemtum this Monday online and it took less than 24 hours to get my registration confirmed.

@ yinksob002
Did you say you applied directly at the embassy? I need not go to VFS right?

Yes. For study permit, you apply directly to the SA embassy.

Best of luck

Hello house, thanks for the bountiful information, I ve really learnt a lot .
I'm a postgraduate student of university of Ibadan,
I applied for a conference in the republic, but I applied very late for my visa, i applied on the 14th of this month and the conference starts on the 26th - 28th of this month. Which means I have to leave inveriably on the 25th of November. Someone with experience should tell me the processing period. Also a cousine stands to be sponsoring me , he has about 900k in his account , hope its okay?
Thanks

Been a postgraduate student it is expected that your supervisor/department/University will be responsible for the needed funding for your conference. Also you will need a letter of invitation from the conference organiser inviting you over for the conference. There is no need for a cousin or relative to sponsor your trip. There is the possibility of been granted the visa after the conference date. Best wishes

Good evening

Unisa remains the best place to find out if you can use their letter to secure study permit.

You can no longer change the status of ur Visitors Visa in SA, that is if u come with visitor's visa u will leave with visitors visa. There is a permit called permanent residence it allows u to work and live in SA permanently with some conditions attached. Going to SA 2 weeks b4 ur visa expires is no big deal as long as u can prove u will come back to naija under 2 weeks.
