Babechemist01: finally,finally. I got my study permit today in Abuja after 6weeks. I was denied visa initially cos dey said my yellow fever card was invalid. I actually got it frm d ministry of health in my state and my momentum health insurance was hand written. I got new ones both d yellow card and d momentun cert and reapplied thesame day. Glory be to God,i got my permit today.

Wow...i'm guessing i did see you ysterday when you received your permit and said you'v been on it for six weeks...would have been great knowing you are also a Nairalander.

Finally, Got mine today..Thank You all NLDRS...You made me do this on my own.

Cheers..

Hello .. Congratulations on your study permit. I discovered you have just been given admission at the university of western cape. Please when are you travelling to south Africa. I am based in cape town. I don't know if you can help with some documents(original certificate waec and neco) from Nigeria. if you can I would just ask my broda to bring down to you. So maybe when you settle down in school I would come fort to collect it.

Hello Friends;

Pls i am trying to book for my Flight Ticket(South Africa Airways). I was planning to book a return ticket for about 300days since i cant book a return ticket for more than a year. My plan was to extend the ticket when the return date is close by, BUT i someone just told me that the return date can't be extended and selling the ticket in south africa may not be easy or possible....

Please whats the best solution in this scenario....My Study permit is up to 2yrs and i am not planning on coming back till then.

Thanks for your urgent response.

Am almost not getting you well, anyways, buy a ticket for a mnth then call SAA's customer care wen u get to SA that you wanna suspend your the return date on your ticket. This makes ur ticket stil very usable and anytime u wanna come home within a year, u just go to their office and pay for change of date....

You don't need a return ticket, stand your ground before any immigration official who might use that as an excuse to extort you brcause you are a first timer.
