I was actually in a state of panic after my application together with my families were submitted in Lagos on the 6th of this month for a family vacation as the hotel we booked was latter cancelled after calling in to re-confirm my reservations, I was given no tangible reason why it was cancelled. I called in to the embassy yesterday explaining the challenges and I also asked them if this will not affect our application... A negative response was given Me: Hello good afternoon, SA: Good afternoon sir Me: Explained the challenges surrounding the sudden callencelation of my Hotel reservation which was beyond my knowledge. SA: Sir *this might make your application be refused, sir you might have to re-apply after picking up your docs which will be trated today or tomorrow ... blah blah blah.... Me: isn't there anything I can do to rectify this like booking another jotel and sending in thru mail the new booking ID? SA: No sir. you will have to re-apply..... Me: Thank you sir. bye. I was so devastated. I quickly went down to God praying that its must be a victory/success story...in this recession make I waste 3 applicants money and the stress I have to gather to submit this application inside that hot Vfs office! ![]() Long story short, I received a text last night that our application is ready for pick up(13th day of submission). I was there today(14th day) to pick'it up with my heart panting like when Hilary Clinton votes were being counted ![]() I collected our packages and opened ![]() This was just God.(His Grace) Should be in J'burg in few weeks time for a week vacation. Thanks all for your comments here. it really helps. Wishing all applicants good success in 2017. Cheers ![]() 10 Likes |

Wummih:There's a redeemed church close to the UWC campus. There are lots of Nigerians there. In short, it's a Nigerian church. They were really nice to me especially as a pregnant student. They were there all the way down to the theatre where I had my baby. It was a small church then. I don't know Kovac's residence. Bellville/Belhar is safe during the day. 3 Likes |

Ibfred: It is possible to renew it with the 11months,i renewed mine which still had 10months validity on it, and i got a new one in two weeks, the thing is you have to apply for it at abuja,if its more than 6months before expiry,it can only be handled at abuja if u require a new one... So you should try getting contacts from Abuja since vfs wouldn't accept your application, all you have to do,is to present a letter to back up the reason for the renewal,i f its for school, you have to show them the original admission letter, and also get a letter from embassy(it could be from.vfs, since vfs js handling the application), it could be a mail print out, stating that you need to get a new passport. 1 Like |

geekybabe:My sister I couldn't reply your PM due to certain security issue until I return next week. All the same, Inspire77 has done justice to your questions but the only additional information I will like to add is that if it is convenient for you to travel back home with all the requirements it MAY be to your advantage. I am not saying you can't get it in SA, because I've seen someone who got it there but considering my experience in Durban, where my application was rejected twice for not providing sufficient proof that I am a registered member of Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) despite the fact that I attached a letter from ECSA that i am a registered member of the Council that my membership certificate will be ready after three month with the contact email and phone number of ECSA Registration Officer on the letter and Student membership certificate of South Africa Institute of Electrical Engineers (SAIEE) attached. I reapplied the second time after my ECSA certificate came with all all documents required but I was denied again. They said since I have a valid Study Permit I need to proof that I was registered as a student for the time spent in SA because I don't have my degree certificate yet, untill April 2017 graduation. I was furious at their nonsense so I appealed the second rejection, that appeal outcome is still pending. Mind you all the application outcome came out within 7 days. I came back to Lagos in December 2016 with the same documents and I was issued the Critical Skills Visa within 7 days. The officer at Lagos VFS ask me to write a letter of authority to the Consulate that they should cancel my Study Permit because I cannot hold two SA valid visa, which I did but when my passport came the Study Visa was not canceled. So you MAY consider going to Lagos when all your documents are ready. Get an experienced person to write a letter that you have the skills you claimed. My HOD wrote mine. CSV Application fee in SA is R1830; VFS charges R1350 = R___ Application fee in Lagos is N30,000; VFS charges N19,800 = N_____ Check their various websites for further information. Best of luck. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Ibfred:They told you the truth. Assuming your admission letter says you are to study in that school for two years, the best the embassy can do is to issue you a 10 month visa (which they are not inclide to issue) because you cannot carry a valid visa on an expired passport (i.e 2 year visa on a passport with 11 month lifespan). At least you must have extra 30 days on your passport after the last date of your visa. Find a way to renew your passport. 1 Like |

Shine1177 and inspire77, really grateful for all the feedback. thanks so much. I guess I'll just wait patiently till after my submission before starting the process. Ill start gathering documents tho. Shine1177, did you have a valid offer of employment in SA before processing your application? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Oseni007(m): 12:26pm On Jan 21, 2017 |
I second this,but I renewed mine in Lagos with 8months validity on it. You don't need to travel all d way to Abuja if you don't resident around there. All you need to present is your original admission letter and letter stating why you want to renew as he stated at any respective immigration office. Cheers TemmyDavies: |

Pls advise me; my school is in Durban, I want to fly in this week, I plan to buy ticket for Johannesburg and to link Durban by either train or bus. Will I not be disturbed by immigration that I am not flying in directly to Durban? As a first timer in south africa,. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by iWise(m): 3:53pm On Jan 22, 2017 |
royalkonsults: No, you won't be disturbed by immigration officers at JHB. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by geekybabe(f): 4:38pm On Jan 22, 2017 |
royalkonsults: You wont. Just tell them that you are picking a bus to durban. Luckily Intercity Express buses move from o.r tambo airporr directly to durban. You will b dropped at Durban bus station. You dont have to stress by going into jburg to book a bus, especially if you have luggage. Check online for to have an idea of the price for d bus and the time it departs from the airport. |

Last year, I said the fees must fall protest will affect the standard of education in SA, you all shut me down. Today I was chatting with an IAPO staff of UCT he told me that they have lost about 30% international students, which means a fall in revenue. GSB of UCT has no international (non african) students at all. I can not believe that UCT won't resume till march, wow! It is well with SA o. I thank God I have left finally, it takes courage |
