Sorry to be a bit rude my dear. But please, read the post immediately before your own. You have the answer to your question there. Again, sorry.

Cheers and all the best.

Sorry these, I do not have an answer to your question. Someone else surely does. You may check the following quotes

kingmayor: @collins......now I have a fresh query before applying for my study permit.

__My final admission letter is due out in a couple of weeks, i have SAQA, medical insurance, medical report, x ray report, bank account all sorted out. But how can i apply to take my wife (to be) along when applying for the study permit, my wedding is on may 30th and the admission letter will be out latest first week in may and i need to apply immediately. please advice, do I need to submit my own application first before applying for her own after our marriage, and if that is the case do I have to put married in my application so as to indicate my status. Also i noticed on the form bi 1738 the question "if spouse/dependant are not accompany you, do they intend to enter the country at a later stage"

Please come to my rescue and advice me, I have full sponsorship for the PhD programme

collinsfbi: Since you are likely to apply before your wedding, I will advice you do that as soon as possible and as regards the question on the form, thick yes meanwhile your wife and kid can join you later through tourist visas which is the easiest from naija and you will file another application for them once they are in the Republic either through an immigration lawyer or you do it yourself.

STENACO: Send the documents to me and my trnasportation money I will help you to do that. Good luck.

Pls, is it possible to send Ɣ☺ur passport and documents to someone in south africa to help Ɣ☺u get the visa?

adewumigloria: Thanks dear. And for those asking about what time is deadline for submission of study permit, in Abuja its from November to around May or June next year. So its still on till next year.
Cheers

Sorry. For study permit, you can't track online. The best you can do is to call them. You may call them before the expiration of the one month. Also, have your passport number with you when you want to call. They will ask you for it.

Cheers and all the best.

Bro, you can't get permit to study unless you have somewhere to study. So, let me break it down.
You need to secure your admission first, then apply to the High Commission for your study permit. These two simple steps are fairly longer than they sound.

Cheers and all the best.

Student life here (SA) is better than student life over there (Nig).
Yes, they accept WAEC and NECO (but I think you will send your result to HESA, not SAQA).
Study permit after admission? Mine took 4 weeks, a friend's took a day.

It depends on the consular officer that attends to you. But the money, is it in your personal account or company account?
If it's in the company account, you just need a letter saying the company is sponsoring you.

Cheers.

thanks, d money is in my personal account. Savings.

if the dob on your passport is incorrect, can you still apply for a study permit attaching an affidavit of age declaration? would this lead to rejection

Hi everyone, just to contribute to the documentation procedure...u don't need to pay for any hotel reservation for ur documentation, all you need do is visit any travel agency or vega solution which is located on the same building with the SA VFS ... U pay 1k to get a booking done for you which you can cancel the moment u r granted a visa...I did the same for both my flight itinerary n hotel booking(2k) and I was even lucky they didn't ask me for any repatriation fee...

@Collins, pls I need more explanation on this info on my visa, it read thus:
No. Of entries: multiple
Conditions: EACH VISIT NOT TO EXCEED THIRTY (30) DAYS.
MUST HOLD ONWARD/RETURN TICKET
thks in advance

hmmm, not certain of what to say here buh ur arrangement n personal circumstance is ok as self employed and 700k in ur personal acct is cool.i dont think anything wrong for a 21yr old guy/lady to be duly registered business owner. What do u think collinsfbi and oda more informed pple?

You are not sure if she has not been banned.
Also, when was the last time she was refused? What type of documents
did she submit then and her status then. Those are the things you should
consider before trying to help her out.

The status of your visa is very simple, it simply stated that you have been granted 3 months multiple entry which means you can visit South Africa as many time as possible within that 3 months but conditionally, you must not stay more than 30 days any time you visit South Africa. Hope this help?
