Bro,
sorry to disappoint you! You cant make a withdrawal with any of those cards here. You can only swipe for payment using POS.
Source for your Rands in Nigerian Airports, still though cheaper, at least few thousands of rand.

Please, who knows how I can change the school name on my visa. I had 3yrs study permit for unizulu but intended to go to UKZN because I now have their anticipated firm offer.

iWise:


You can't change it. You've got to reapply for a new visa and attach a letter stating your reason(s) for changing your mind. You should note that if your study permit does not carry the name of your intended university of study, the international office of that university will not clear you.

Chukwuka16:
Just on a personal note, I would suggest intending student travellers who are first timers to avoid Ethiopian Airlines as they demand you either have a return ticket or pay a repatriation deposit of 175k. I was prevented from boarding, missed my flight and was charged 87k to reschedule. They prevented me from paying for rescheduling early until date of departure. I was shocked when the guy at immigration asked me only one question - "where are you going?" I think Ethiopiana Airlines is exacerbating the whole repatriation issue and exploiting Nigerians mercilessly. If you have a valid permit and a tenable reason to be in a country nobody is going to just deport you. I've never used Ethiopian Airlines before and would avoid them like plague henceforth.

PS
I was lodged in a cool hotel in Bole by Ethiopian Airlines with complimentary dinner and breakfast and transport to and from the hotel to the airport since I had 11 hours stopover at Bole.

Thecassanova:

You should have tried Kenya Airways. There was no issues on first traveller, I met few first time travellers with study permit and had no p. The crew hospitality was superb. We moved afternoon on Monday had a stopover at Nairobi. They lodged us at Weston hotel Nairobi, funny enough we got there around 2am, just when lots were about enjoying their sleep in a masterpiece king size bed they came to wake us up at 4am for our flight to jburg then later reconnect to CT this evening. The Immigration lady at ortambo just asked "so you're coming for study?" That's all.

PS: I'm not advertising Kenya Airways o before some people will tag me an agent

bushbar:

Which stores have you checked out that actually allow this cash@till?
PnP, Shoprite, Checkers, Makro, and President stores don't seem to allow international cashback.

Juwohn:


Finally, he has gotten a new sponsor with over 2m balance and reapplied.
I hope he's considered this time.... Really can't stand a 3rd Rejection.

Miracle is all I'm awaiting, and hopefully he get's a positive feedback soon.
Your prayers are needed House.

Ask/make your South African visa contributions here, i have seen increasing number of different threads about South African visa recently hence the need to dedicate one thread for South African visa issues.

Juwohn:
Thanks house, finally he got the much anticipated VISA last week friday, now in South Africa registered at WITS.
Thanks for the advices.
