I'm not defending the killing of a fellow African.
Good, you are a permanent resident. So how many legal immigrants have they killed in your city or province??

South Africans don't want you as a foreign national but do you as a Nigerian want your brother from another tribe? that's the question.
If we all unite as one and bridge this tribal gap there won't be any need of visiting their country, studying or even work there.

It's their country, and they have the right to fight against anyone that wants to pollute the sanity or integrity of their country.
That is what we lack as Nigerians.

Its their country and they have right to fight against anyone that pollutes their country, yea right including extra judicial killings. Nigeria is our country and that yeye communication company that sold sim card to terrorists we will deal with them extra judicially too.
Do you think is SA people that are not tribalistic? Zulus are not advised to marry Xhosas, you wait till white people leave and foreigners leave. The only reason ther tribal conflicts is not glaring now is because they have a common enemy which is white man.

Good morning all
I saw this thread and was encouraged at the level of feedback and successes in visa application.

Please i need help. My husband was denied the south African visa at the Abuja office some time in January 2017. The reason of his visa reques was for a medical residency exchange program at the university of Kwazulu natal SA. We attached the relevant documents and also a letter of invitation from the school describing the details of the program.

In the rejection letter, they stated that if he attempts to re-apply, his application would not be attended to until 6 months from the date the rejection letter was issued. Unfortunately his program has started, and we had paid for his return ticket. This has made us shift his flight with its attendant cost. (very depressing). The reason for rejection were that the documents "not convincing" or credible (PS.All documents were legitimate)

My question is "can we reapply NOW despite the warning stated on the rejection letter. We had called some visa agencies and the feedback were mixed as some said nothing could be done about it until 6 months later and others said we should disregard the warning and reapply. The cost of reapplication and the possible shift in flight is really mind and pocket draining for us.

Kindly advice on what to do please.

this is strange..if we may ask, did he apply through an agent?

ife01:
Yes please. PM?

Theres always the God factor in everything. Like I'm praying for my delay not to result in denial.

Ok I've no idea the high commission confirm the present amount in the account as at when they checking not the amount it was when the statement was issued.

Yes he can use the statement. All changed details should be well explained in his introductory letter. First Why he changed institution, why a new sponsor, plus all those letters of fundings attached. And don't forget sponsorship letter.

When is he supposed to resume at wits? Cos this study permit is taking longer than expected these days.

Please help, he re-applied as advised but rejected again making it the second time.
First, it was "bank statement lacked credibility", now it's "Insufficient funds"

I'm really confused now cos he has to resume before mid-March or cancel his admission.
Cancelling is a tough decision now cos of the amount spent so far.

The amount on the bank statement is roughly 500k naira, he has 18k rands paid already into the institution's account, the study his fully funded and he will be staying with me. I really don't know how much is needed to prove his financial capability.
Apparently, with the amount on ground, I don't think he would even need the 18k rands, 18k rands available already, free tuition, and free accommodation and all these information were detailed in his letters.

Advise please.

School fees paid or not, 500K as closing balance is highly insufficient .

You should have asked here before submitting. A minimum of 1M closing balance is okay.

Should have had atleast equivalent R50,000.
Even Many Phd fully funded study still have balance of over 1m just to be safe. The last time you asked if it was 500k you said it's the balance I would've told you to make it 1m.

He should apply immediately before Study permit application closes for non-Phd this year. You can make a deposit of 250k each 4times next week then withdraw 200k in between the week. Print up the statement on Friday then apply same Friday nextweek. Make sure you make necessary adjustments to introductory letter. All the best.

Please my brother in law lives in SA with his family and operates 2 private companies.. he wants to send I and my family an invitation letter to visit Him so I want to know what and what he is to send and how to compose the letter and also the requirements from me for applying... I have 2 kids

Thank you very much....now that it's end of the month, we have been able to raise above 1m but I have 2 concerns.

# Being the 2nd rejection, does this not tell on our integrity because I'm already giving up and advising him to wait till next year.
# Does he have to wait till Friday as a requirement please, as he's almost loosing his admission.

Can you please highlight the necessary adjustments please?

It's just worrisome that he's been denied 2wice, scared of what the third might be.

The integrity is about the account statement. Since the two rejections were based on that that's definitely what the VO would be focusing mainly on. So If the statement is above 1m apply immediately then. Maybe Monday.

If any sort of rejection comes after this then they never wanted to give him the permit in the first place.

About the self-introductory letter adjustments, just first acknowledge you've rectify the problem of last rejection (funds). Probably attach the rejection letter as reference, well they'll get to know anyways.

If another sponsor is found, that makes it 3rd sponsor, Mum, Uncle and the new...won't that also raise suspicion?

Hi, I'm aware that GT masterCard and AccessBank visa card work on POS and online but just about 1250-1300 rands.

Sorry I didn't read that part . However ,Embassy don't expect d dad or uncle to have 1m overnight ,let him use a new sponsor with over 1million .He said fees up to 18krand was paid ,so he should be given irrespective of sponsors
