I actually used my Dads bank statement which has 400k plus. Pls what minimum balance should one have in the account? Im going to SA for another visa interview which will b scheduled this month ending. Ur kind response will b appreciated

You don't qualify for visa with that amount and using your daddy's bank account.

Do you work and how much do you earn monthly?

Good evening wonderful people, i already made an application to Stellenbosch University for Bsc Hons in International Studies, I was asked to upload my certify copy of my certificate and transcript which i will be doing next week. i noticed i didnt see anything about Saqa so i want to confirm from the experienced ones here if can go ahead without the Saqa, thanks.

The school has its own verification and evaluation process. They don't require SAQA, same has UCT. But a bonus if you have it, under document upload you see evaluation which you can decide to upload.

I would advice you to maximize your options and apply to other schools. It's easier to get admission for MSc and PhD than Honours. It's very competitive for SA citizens and most schools take just 1 or 2 students from foreign universities.

I hope your last year undergraduate CGPA is 60% and above.

Please how much can one have in the account to qualify for a visa, with my family. I earn 300k monthly

A breakdown of the cost will give an idea how much you need for the trip. your salary is ok though.

Remember to keep the cost moderate

Thank you justwise for your reply. I do work sir. I earn 30k in a month. My Dad now has about 1.3M closing balance. Can I use his bank statement or I should transfer the money to my account?

Moreover @Justwise, I was working with the state government earning 30K in a month. But currently, I'm newly employed as a university lecturer. I was employed in June and since then I haven't got paid. Newly employed staffs only get paid after 3 months. The letter of introduction from employer I used for my visa application was from my university (department) but my bank statement will show no evidence of working with them because i haven't been paid since employed. Is there anything I can do regarding this? Should I attach my appointment letter, university staff ID card to my application and deposit the 1.3M to my account if I must use my own statement? Remember the monthly earning from the state government in this account is 30k.

Please don't waste your money applying for visa until you can afford it yourself because that is what gives you strong tie to Nigeria.

As a grown up adult you can't present your father's bank account for tourist visa application, this is not study or medical treatment trip.

The question is this..why are you in a hurry to travel to SA as a tourist when you can't afford it?

You just started working not even for 6months, not paid any salary yet and you want to take a holiday to SA?

@Justwise the reason why I'm travelling to SA is to attend a resident visa interview at Taipei economic and cultural office for my Doctoral studies. I got a PhD scholarship in Taiwan and recently, Taiwan closed their trade mission in Nigeria (I can't apply for visa here). So I was directed by the bureau of counsular affairs (BOCA) in Taipei to go to SA and apply for visa. This is my reason of going to SA sir

Yes i have over 60%. Are you saying i can apply direct for my Msc?

Please can someone help me with Abuja embassy phone number? All the numbers I have tried are not going through.

Hello,
Did you properly state your reason for going and the situation around your finances in your letter of self-introduction?

Yes I state it clearly that the purpose of my visit to SA is to attend a resident visa interview for my doctoral studies at Taipei economic and cultural office in pretoria.

No, I didn't state the situation around my finance.

Oga JustWise and All, Please i want to know if i can apply for direct masters to Universities in S.A, i have over 60% CGPA in my last academic record. I have already apply to stellenbosch for Bsc Hons but i want to know. Thanks Bro.

I think you need the letter of admission duly stamped by the school and whatever proof that states the Taiwan embassy closure and redirecting you to the south african office as well as your letter of sponsorship from your dad. if you can also provide your personal bank statement and put it all in prayers... there's nothing God cannot do if your reason for traveling is genuine.... just be honest in your self introdictory letter

You needed to add the scholarship letter and all other documents related to that scholarship.

You also need to add a breakdown of the cost of the trip..cost of ticket, hotel, transport and feeding etc.

Doing that will give you an idea about the cost of the trip.

You also need a letter from your daddy permitting you to use and spend the money in that account.
