Hello house,

I'm planning to visit SA from the US later this year, I live and work in the US. Would I still need a yellow fever card because I'm Nigerian?

Thanks

Compliment of the season brother, that section 6 I just wrote 800k naira equivalent to rand. Payment for what? You don't need to go any bank.just write amount that available in rands equivalent.

Happy new yr. I have been seeing for BI-1738 for Study visa and it has just 13pages. Am I looking for the wrong form? I am planning to apply for study permit without SAQA- due to the possibility of getting the certificate late- what is the possibility of being granted? I am to be in Bloem for my PhD before March.

@stevetop. Same to u. U're not wit d wrong form. The one I said was 20 pages is an old form. So the BI-1738 with 13 pages is the correct form. But what I still don't understand is whether all the 13 pages will be submitted because applicant signature ends on page 7 while the rest of the pages are checklists.As for SAQA, if your school gave u admission without it then u don't need it for study permit.

Any need to go along with original certificates at the point of submission for sighting or will the admission letter suffice?

happy new year friends...I wish you all the very best of the new year. I have a friend who intends visiting south Africa, he got his invitation letter and host supporting documents since 2 December 2014. he couldn't turn in his visa application than the year ran out. now he plans submitting his application on the 4th January, may I ask can the letter and the invitee documents still be used cos the letter itself stated he would be arriving s.a on the 21st January 2016 eveb though it was written and signed on the 2nd December 2015. pls inform....thanks

U may go with them in order to play safe. Moreso, it doesn't cost u anything. But in actual sense, they're not in any position to do that. Me too I'm going on monday 4th to d embassy for my application. Wish ourselves the very best

Same to you brother. The form Bi -1738 is for study permit, work permit and other permit for temporary residence permit in South Africa. Go to South Africa embassy on Tuesday 5th Jan they will check all your documents. If they need SAQA they will ask for it. Please go with your CTC of your transcripts and your certificate plus your admissions letter. Thanks

Thanks for the all the responses. Is it adviceable that I do my medicals at a private hospital or govt hospital? I also dont have an idea of the things to include in the letter of introduction to the embassy. Thanks for the help- getting free help these days is almost a mirage. Cheers!

Good day, yes put your marriage certificate if you are married. Then your flight reservation + your yellow card and all others documents stated in the form. Thanks

Good morning, I will advise you to do you medical at government hospital. Concerning the introduction letter, let them know your status married or not, where you reside, your work, let them your purpose of going to South Africa. If it is study or visiting give them the details of your host. Hope this will help. Please others add to this. Thanks Happy Sunday

Happy Sunday great men in the house, thanks for the help so far. i work at the moment but I dont plan to submit a letter of introduction from my employer as it might delay my application- do I still need to state where I work on my application for a study visa since I am planning to use a sponsor (letter and statement of acc) Also is it imperative to put a copy of my marriage certificate? If yes, do I need to also get it notarised? Kindly help!

Good day. Does anyone know if the consulate in abuja will be open and recieving applications tomorrow?

Hello guy, you don't need any letter from your employer when u have sponsor. Just leave the space ie you are not working. You have to put your marriage certificate if you are married. Yes you have to notarized it. Thanks

[quote author=Keneking post=41603824][/quote] If you are working and you are coming to visit South Africa you will need letter from your employer. If it's study permit you can use sponsor's letter. Thanks

Hello everyone,
It's my first time posting here and I couldn't find much about the critical skills visa on here.

Pls I need someone to gide me step by step on the SAQA and professional body registration thing, how do I go about it?
I'm a microbiology graduate. what professional body can I register with and how do I go about the registration?

And for SAQA do I need to include my primary and senior school leaving certificate, with my transcript and university certificate for submission? And do I send all together or separately? And will they all be scanned copies?

What is the fastest way for submission as I'm in Lagos now..online or by courier?..and if by courier, who do I address it to?
Thanks

Hello,concerning the SAQA u need your wace certificate, Bsc certificate and your transcripts. You will take the photocopy of all to high court for certified true copy (CTC). I will advise you to use courier service. You will send all in one envelope to SAQA physical office. Mind you SAQA is 950 rands for your first certificate which is wace then 520 rands for your Bcs then if you have masters is another 520 rands. Concerning the critical skills check this link www.dha.gov.za/index.php/immigration-services/scarce-skills-work-permits . thanks

Thanks @

Bumdeeva:
Thanks @femiaction but pls what professional body recognised by SAQA can I register with as a microbiologist and how can I register?
And I'm i going to pay one price for both my transcript and BSc certificate? And for wace just certificate right? I don't need to get the break down of the wace result?
And for the CTC is it just going to be a stamp on each copy? And where is high court in Lagos..and how fast will I be attended to at the high Court?
And can by Bf in SA pay for SAQA and with professional body from south Africa with his card?

check d list of professional body at d bottom of the site I gave you. You can take it to ministry of Justice alausa Ikeja for CTC stamp. Yes only wace certificate. You can do only Bsc which will cost you 950 rands. If you have masters is 520 rands. SAQA fees is 950 rands for first certificate and d rest will cost 520 rands each. Yes Your friend or family can help you to pay d fee here in South.
