TYPOP:

While I do not know if the embassy will accept 2 months rent in advance, I can tell you that AFDA is in Auckland Park (if you are coming to the Joburg centre) and you should be able to get accomodation for between R2000 and R3000 depending on what you want. It may be single or sharing. Also, the usual practice is to pay on a monthly basis but you may be able to have a way. Why not discuss your challenge with AFDA and ask them to secure accomodation for you while you pay? Is this possible? Otherwise, you will need someone to look around for you and try to get one for you.

But the best advice I can give you is to look for someone with a permanent permit to give you a letter that they will accomodate you. Once you get here, you can now go house hunting and get your own appartment. You usually have to deposit when you are first moving in (usually the same amount as your rent). You will get your deposit back when moving out if all is well with the house as per damages.

Cheers man, all the best.

Yes, you need the repatriation fees. Otherwise, some people will turn holiday into permanent residency. Having 110k back home is worth coming back home for (to some people, not all).

The bank statement is just to show you can afford your stay there. While you can get your permit with much less in your account, having more gives you an edge when the consular is making his decision. He thinks "this guy is not likely to be a liability in my country" if you have much. For the guy that has 250k, he may think "so, what happens if something happens and you have to spend some money you didn't plan for?"

If however you don't have that much, you should still submit your application. It shouldn't deter you. Trust in God, submit and believe for the best.

BTW, the price I gave for transportation is now changing. Tickets now go as high as 140k (and as low as 100k). Depends on when you book for your flight.

Cheers man.

julianauche19: Please can someone tell me wat to do.I went to my school to demand for my transcript to submit to SAQA .but they said they can't give me.that they have to address it to them.is it true.cos I tot am supposed to put all my results together and submit all together

muyikool: @TYPOP I don't have bta with me but I have some little cash cos my brother is comming to pick me at the airport and am holding visitor visa.thanks

dannie007: Good day nairalander's please I want to throw out a question please I will need advice on it. My friend who planned traveling with me to SA during his leave lost his Mum, couldn't travel again due to cost of burial and everything so his Visa will be expiring next week, so what advice can I grab here to relate to him cos he plans to reapply for a visit next year. Just came back from SA, its a beautiful place to visit.

MY brother has a permanent resident permit, be he his in Nigeria presently, his wife is a citizen, but she is also not in the country resently and these letters have to be notarized in S.a. And yes Afda has an Agent that finds accomodation for its students and they found one for me for R2000 a month. So you mean even if I pay for 2months in advance, the embassy might not accept this? Give me an answer to this particular question. Thanks.

olu_stick: Hello. I am new here. Please I need your help on how to verify O levels with SAQA. Neco to be precise. Sending a friend of mine who is returning bck to SA. Pls what is the right and exact thing to send. The original neco certificate hasn't been issued. But I do have the printed version also with my scratch card. Need ur advice. Thank you so much.

september14:

You do not need saqa. What you need is hesa, I guess you want to apply for an undergrad program? Then google hesa south africa.

olu_stick:

Thanks. But the intitution directed me to SAQA to verify the neco result. What I don't understand is, what is a certified true copy of a neco result or how can one get it?

TYPOP:

It depends on your school. For example, my school gives you a personal copy the first time you applied for a transcript.

What you can also do is request for the transcript and put the address of an office of someone you know there. You then get it from such person. The address on the transcript does not matter. SAQA will still process. If they accept, you can use your own address.thanks bro .am fully satisfied with Ure answer

Cheers, all the best man. And maybe some other folks have an advice.
