cutieme:
so what are the documents to submit to be evaluated for a critical visa ?

femiaction:
You need your transcripts from your school and your certificate Bsc/ HND. for SAQA evaluation. Then you have to register with professional body in SA.

Hello house, is true that before kids could be granted visa we should have secured school for them in SA? They are 3 and 1 and half years old respectively. And also concerning my own case, I was given admission for PhD in UCT but prefer to stay off-campus. Do I need to secure accommodation before applying for visa? Thanks

samtol4:
You don't need to secure accommodation before visa application but u need to submit proof of accommodation(where u intend to stay doing your study) along with other relevant docs..Kids don't need to secure admission .Get your visa first then apply for the kids .

Good day everyone, I hope am not derailing the topic but what's the total cost of securing a visa to SA and most importantly what are the opportunities there street and other wise? Because I noticed too many people trop in south Africa but I want to be sure there's a future for one there before joining the visa processing, thank you.

yinksob002:
It depends on your purpose for travelling to SA. If you intend visiting, I will advise you just visit and come back to Naija. For studies, you stand a better chance of getting a job after studies but generally, SA is tough to be honest with you. My advice is that you have a clear plan of what you intend to do in SA before venturing into any form of application. I wish u the best.

. Good day bro, I've been on this thread for quite some time since I gained admission to university of Pretoria. The funny thing is have been hearing so much about this SAQA but I gained admission without using it, when I got my admission letter from the school it was stated clearly my department and one other didn't require SAQA's evaluation. What I really want to know now is, when I'm applying for a visa should I still get the SAQA done before applying when it was stated in my admission letter that it isn't needed? Thanks bro

yinksob002:
It is true that some schools don't request for SAQA before offering admission to students. However, it forms part of the requirements for SA visa application. Since it was expressly stated in your admission letter, you should be able to do so without SAQA.

To play safe, i will advise that you find time to visit the embassy to know if they can allow you to submit without it. That will save you from last minute stress and hassles.

All the best

Gentlemen, i really appreciate the response(s) provided so far with respect to study visa........can someone assist for PhD application at UCT.

I need some clarifications:

- police clearance certificate: can one obtain this from any police station? cost? - You can obtain it at the police station in Obalende close to the Nigerian Immigration Service. I did mine for N5,000 last yr.
- medical and radiological reports: where can one get this report? Any local hospital? Cost? - Visit any general hospital close to you (i.e The one at Gbagada or Ikeja if you live in Lagos). Am not sure of the current cost but just hold dome cash just in case)
- proof of medical cover with a medical scheme/ medical insurance : are there notable ones in Nigeria and what is the cost? - This should be done with a registered health scheme in SA. You can Google " Ingwe momentum" and get directions on how to go about it. Payment can be made using your debit card.
- sufficient financial means: how much is expected for a single person - This depends on your estimated cost of study and living in SA. A bal. of around N1.5 million with good turnover should be okay.
- payment of deposit: how can one obtain a letter from the Nigeria Government? - I don't get what you mean by letter from govt. Can you explain better.
- study visa fee: what is the cost? - Its approximately N11,000 or thereabout (Visa fee and bank charges)
- visa: what is expected in duration i.e 1, 2, 3 or 4-5years? - The visa duration for PHD is usually 3 years
- application timelines: how long does this take to be finalised? - it depends on the volume of applications at hand and how fast the consulars treat it. Let's say between 2 - 5 weeks.

Should you need further clarifications, you can revert.

All the best

Mean you are the best...abeg go Canal Walk (Mr Price shop), pick any jeans of your size, I pay when I conclude the process

- payment of deposit: the high commission demands repatriation deposits just in case or a letter of guarantee from your government. What is this deposit amount?

yinksob002:
Now i get your point. Repatriation fee has been cancelled since last year April. Infact, i didn't have to pay a dime for repatriation when i did mine last yr. All the best bro.

trapezius:


Someone should pls attend to my case...I don't want to travel all the way to abuja in futility and risking all for nothing. Pls someone who had applied for repatriation refund should pls help out.
