Hi all.... Please i need help. I was called to come to SA for an interview by the Mandela Rhodes scholarship board. The twist is my interview should be between 26-28 of october. The board is the one taking care of all expenses incurred from flight and accomodation. I intend to apply for my Visa next week, cos im working presently and I dont have time at all. Please how long will it take for d visa to be processed? Can I get a yellow card from the airport on saturday, being oct 1 independence day, (dats d only time i can b free)__ How long will it take to be able to submit my application , i intend to sneak out of the office to do it next week monday, will it be possible (i work arnd VI). And lastly, do you think it is feasible i get my visa ASAP. Thanks all for your help. Im kinda at a loss . 1 Like |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by beebwai: 8:17pm On Sep 28, 2016 |
staggerlee:u seem to be comfortable and quite informed too. I suppose I have a job. I want to know how available are jobs in the construction sector? Of course aftr studies. Thanks in advance |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Teed89: 10:35pm On Sep 28, 2016 |
ifyalways: Is it 3months or 6months ? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by staggerlee: 10:59pm On Sep 28, 2016 |
beebwai: I used to have a job but resigned to face some business concerns in Nigeria and finish up my PHD. I shuttle between Nigeria and SA now, very often. Am not sure of construction studiesn problem with construction is there are too many people in construction, you have civil engineering, regional planners, construction studirs in some schools it is construction engineers, so its a tough one but if it is possible |

@staggerlee,pls bro,can someone with a degree certificate in chemistry apply for a critical work visa? thanks. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by staggerlee: 7:38am On Sep 29, 2016 |
cutieme: Yes but depends on a lot of criteria |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by ifyalways(f): 9:24am On Sep 29, 2016 |
Teed89:6 months, my bad. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by ifyalways(f): 9:29am On Sep 29, 2016 |
naruto02:Pay with POS as much as possible. POS allows up to $1500 monthly. ATM withdrawals are however limited to $200 to $400 daily depending on bank. Also, there are some Nigerians who can give you rands cash and you transfer the naira equivalence to their Nigerian bank account, if you do Internet banking(face to face transaction Adviced!) @ Randburg etc |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by naruto02(m): 9:56am On Sep 29, 2016 |
ifyalways:My account is all messed up after using $200 on ATM I can't withdraw anymore or use POS then at the last quarter of the month it goes back working but I still can't use POS. Where is randburg I'd like to try out this option you suggested |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by ifyalways(f): 10:03am On Sep 29, 2016 |
naruto02:Which bank? You don't have more than one atm? Sorry o. Stanbic gives the best rates anyways. Also did you inform your bank you were travelling BEFORE leaving Naija? Could be a reason for your predicament. Dunno where u are in SA but just ask around from any Nigerian especially Igbo genuine business men etc the ones that operate Nigerian restaurants and food stuff. Pele. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by naruto02(m): 10:32am On Sep 29, 2016 |
ifyalways:I use Stanbic ibtc. a day before I left I went to the bank to inform them, the lady just said it's fine you can use the ATM there.After one month of using the ATM here the acc was suspended because of the series of use of ATM from unfamiliar location I called them and they said it's because I didn't notify them. Then I got them to fix it, ever since my acc has been giving me headache. It rejects payment on POS which I was using before, i don't get to withdraw the monthly $300 equivalent even when I'm using standard bank ATM. I live in Port Elizabeth. The only Nigerians I know here are in school they receive cash through their parents sending from dorm acc. |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by ifyalways(f): 11:16am On Sep 29, 2016 |
Teed89:I think you should apply ASAP. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by ifyalways(f): 11:21am On Sep 29, 2016 |
naruto02:Too bad. Call or email Stanbic again and explain your predicament to them. Better still have one of your parents visit a branch preferably their head office in Nigeria to have a chat with them. I don't know anyone in Port Elizabeth. My daughter schools in Cape Town and does not have money issues as she went with GTB, access and stanbic cards plus the occasional naira transfer, rands cash transaction. SorryO |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Teed89: 11:50am On Sep 29, 2016 |
ifyalways: Thank you ma |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 12:00pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
ifyalways: How is your daughter coping with the student wahala in that area? Hope you are in touch with her. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by naruto02(m): 12:11pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
ifyalways:Thanks!! |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 12:44pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
Dexcmd: Everything should be back to normal in few days. Court already ruled in favour of wits 4 students and staffs either to vote and resume or remain shut indefinitely. Some group of student leaders approached the court to challenge the referendum, saying unfair and non-transparent to vote (which definitely shows either minority of student support this or they don't believe the result would be fair). A friend enrolled @wits told me the vote is today and most of his SA citizen friends(blacks) want to resume classes and face their forth coming exams. Voting will give students the power to decide for themselves if they want to study and pass, or protest and fail. Voting will reveal how many protesters are actually students (which looks to me as more of political). *my opinion Dont lose hope, things would work out well in the coming days. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by phemy1230: 4:05pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
its now 21 days and 13working days since I submitted and no words from VFS, thought they said it should be between 6 and 10 working days for this process. please anyone who has received theirs this month should let us know, @pendragon1 @iambiola @frekey anyone heard from VFS this month? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by cutieme(m): 6:19pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
@staggerlee,please what are the conditions or criteria for the critical visa? Thanks. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Marcus992000(m): 8:24pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
mzjennypher: Thanks.@mzjennypher. Im thinking of doing all tomorrow . In a bit of a twist here though, my sponsors are the ones catering for my flight and accommodation , so I don't have any documents to submit for flight, accomodation and all. Please what do you suggest I do? Should I just submit it like that with the letter from the Mandela-Rhodes scholarship board? Dont want to waste 30k o. Fnks in anticipation |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Frekey: 8:38pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
phemy1230:I submitted on the 31st of last month. It's still under assessment at the high commission in Lagos for over 3 weeks now. It was a study permit I applied for. This could be depressing at times. But I stlll have hope. Cheers |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Pendragon1: 10:36pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
