@samuelUMOH i want to travel this December but my school resumes January. How do they View this in POE

Guy you dey para oo

What's the validity of your study permit...from when to when

@ Khez:
No. Proof of employment is very important
You must satisfy a visa officer that you will return to your home country before a visitors visa is issued. In the form of employment letter, bank statement, family ties, properties and so on. Things that will show you will return after your visit.

@infofta please respond to this.

Alright thanks I'll give it a try, hopefully things go well.
Also is it possible to use my mom's account? I'm 21, I recently finished school so I don't have a "fat account". I just want to take a year off to volunteer now before life starts cos once I start working I might never get the time and opportunity again.

You are free to travel anytime .POE wahala is mainly for those with visitor visa .Most times they don't ask student with study permit. But u can hold proof of residence ( like the one u use to apply for visa ) in case they ask u .

If it is a fresh visa I will advise you to chill till feb, truth is you might be turned back at the POE because it shows that you are not only in RSA for study purposes. If its a renewal, then you are free to come in. All the best

I meant Jan I hope you know a visa is not a guarantee entrance to enter any country, it is just an authority granted to the holder to proceed to the immigration officer at the Port of Entry, the officer now uses his discretion whether to grant you entry or not. Now if he feels you are coming into SA for other reasons asides study he has every right to turn you back. Look at it, your school starts in Jan, you want to come in dec when schools are closed and everyone is on holiday, if I was an immigration officer I will feel you are coming in for other things and I will turn you back, I just spoke to an official at DHA now and he said I quote "tell your friend to come in january or he risk his visa being canceled" those were his exact words. Do you know the stress you will face if your visa is cancelled, why do you want to risk it at all when you can just wait? What if your visa wasn't granted would you come to SA in Dec, won't you wait, why do you want to raise unnecessary attention on yourself? Well I have said my piece

Ariel20:
One of the requirements is to get a letter of recommendation from my employer. I for one would rather keep this personal till I secure my permit

So my question is , would it count against my application if I don't get a letter of introduction from my company?

Also my dad is supposed to be my sponsor but he doesn't have an international passport. Must I present that even when he has other identity documents.


Thanks to everyone contributing answers

Apply for the Ingwe Option Plan from Momentum Health. Costs just 4020 rands per year. I was supposed to resume at Bosch in January but I am going to UCT now.

Kentrasso:


Next month

Thanks for the response @Kentrasso need someone coming to Nigeria this week but I'd still need your help later. Thanks in advance.

Thank you.

Please do not let that fear get to you. You will not have any problems as long as you do not involve yourself in unnecessary drama but rather focus on your study. In the case of Stellenbosch university, it has an active Nigerian community in addition to lecturers who are Nigerians living and working there. It is a good university.

Hello house
Has anyone used travelex to buy dollars?
I want to know their mode of operation
Any significant rule that must be followed?
P.S i am travelling to SA in December
Thanks for your usual help

@ fahila
It will be better for the employer (church) to be your sponsor. The church should state they are the one sponsoring you for the voluntary work.
You are not applying for a study permit, it will not be proper for your mum to be your sponsor.
You can also transfer the money to your account.

@infofta
Okay thanks but won't it be a problem for a huge sum to just appear in my account?

Used an agent? Or applied yourself?

Pls share

@ fahila
Don't you think the visa officer will think why do you want to spend so much of your mum's money just to do voluntary work in South Africa.
If the church cannot provide you:
1. Registration documents
2. Bank statement
3. Contract of employment
4. Letter of guarantee on their letter head stating they will be responsible for your living expenses during your stay.

If you don't have these documents from them, my advice is not to apply because your application process will require you to provide other supporting documents like medical examination, police clearance, visa fee etc which will cost you money.
If the visa officer is not satisfied you have the means to meet your living expenses without resulting to a paid work the visa will be denied.
Remember you are applying for a voluntary work permit not a work permit.

@ Khez
Many agents use fake documents, when they are detected the applicant is usually banned for some years from applying.

Good evening to everyone in the house. My study permit application was delayed today at the Abuja embassy. It used just 2 weeks. Reason stated was that DOCUMENT LACK CREDIBILITY AND SAQA NOT CERTIFIED. I want the gurus in the house to advice on what to do if I want to reapply and anyone who wants to apply shud pls certify his or her SAQA. Bless

Sorry about the issue, I have certified copy of SAQA. The Original is in SA and was certified in SA and sent to my mail. Hope it would be accepted because it's more or less the photocopy of the certified copy?
Thanks and what were the documents that lacks credibility according to them so us appling soon would be informed

You don't need any agent for your application bro cos you can do it yourself so far you are working and earning well.
What you need is your self introduction letter, attestation letter, bank statement, yellow card, your passport, flight and hotel reservations, copy of your work i.d card front and back and your passport photograph. I think with that you are good to go bro, the gurus in the house can also add some tips okay.

Any idea of a good one i can find? If for nothing, at least to guide my application process!

Please i need information from some one knowledgeable in the house. My son applied to a South Africa private univesity for an undergraduate study with O'level WAEC. He was offered a one year High certificate course. I called the school and they said after one year he will now proceed to 3 years bachelor degree program. The school did not mention any saqa/hesa. And this issue of saqa/hesa is also confusing to me. Now i want to apply for study permit for him. My question is since the offer admission stated one year Higher certificate course, do i need this saqa/hesa before i can apply for study permit for him.

You don't need SAQA or HESA, since you have admission already, all you can do is to tell the school to give your son a letter to state that he doesn't need any SAQA for his study

I applied by myself at Lagos. I got in six working days. Submit all requested and be very clear what your intentions are in your introductory letter
