KazikageSama:


The memo didn't say they'd reopen in Feb 10. This is an indefinite closure. Question is why?

Even when COVID numbers were crazy, they were still operational (as par Gov't directives) so this isn't about covid.

E-visa about to commence

You do not need to go to Abuja to certify a birth certificate or marriage cerificate

Go to any court close to you or any notary public to stamp and sign on it

Abimbolakay123:


I was told I have to go to Abuja to have my birth certificate stamped by the federal ministry of affairs, can you please advise if the court certification that you advised will suffice?

Haba, check the website. E-visa no more VFS Thanks

This E visa of a thing sweet me o. Applying already, no time. Seems straight forward but the website keep signing me out lol. And how I wan take scan my bank statement of over 100 pages and upload.

I think it's best a new thread is opened in the light of this new information for the e-Visa platform.
Things are going to change going forward and it will be a new learning curve for most (if not all) of us.

I don't think it will be fair to have a new/intending applicants read these old pages knowing that the process is now very different.

40k is not much....well maybe I will say for the course I applied to, because the school I found so far that offer that course has almost the same fee. But initially for 2 years is 50k rand.

what is the current rand to naira market rate please

Please is anybody experiencing issues booking an appointment for the Abuja office online. I have been having issues of payment not processed since yesterday...I've tried three times now. Or do you need to go to the office to book an appointment

I submitted my passport since last week of September 2021 for SA student visa. No update till date, apart from initial action notice.

Pls is this normal?
Reached out to VSF staff who only says it takes time
Should I write officially cos I need my passport. School sef don become long thing

AGMAMA:
Meanwhile it’s already 2months since I applied for tourist visit. No update at all
VFS are clueless
Meanwhile they should have notified people on their website that it will take this long so we don’t have to bother if we can’t wait
This is very unfair and frustrating
Will they now used expired hotel booking and flight reservation after their delay
It’s becoming so unfair
No update email, just silence
Na wa o!

My student visa is more than three months now. Me I will formally request for my passport

Saqa has introduced new techniques for payment , though they have not tested this method very well. Kindly call them to avoid paying twice. If you don't get any positive response. Feel free to contact me

Anyone based in SA who can help me with my SAQA evaluation payment? I used my Nigerian Mastercard but it’s not processing.
Kindly include the current rand to naira equivalent

Mikejordan:
Hello House,
I just succeeded in the payment for the SAQA evaluation stuff. If you don't know how to pay for the evaluation, please signify I can do that for you.

Cheers

I am interested

If you still want to come to SA for masters or PhD please have a rethink.

Look for other better countries. Biko.. There are many countries around the world that will give you opportunity to build a life and career after your post graduate studies. It is international students that keep contributing massively to the research in many SA unis. The least someone should get after spending 4 years on a phd or 2 years on an intensive masters program in a critical skills area, is a pr or at least a work permit.

Take if from me, the hustle to come to SA to live permanently is overhyped. Things have really changed.
