Hello!!! can someone answer this question in the house, please?

editorAA:
Any January applicants here that has recieved his passport?(I mean short visa)

geekybabe:


Well. You may be lucky like I was. I carried 4 and even carried plantains. . Make sure it is in the main luggage you are checking in and not in your hand luggage. Make sure the luggage is also wrapped and protected with a wrap at the airport.
When you arrive at Joburg and pick your luggage, Don’t act nervous or suspicious. There is a possibility the custom guys will want to rescan your luggage. Once u clear, you are good to go.

Thanks so much. I will go with some tubers of Yam and plantains.

Hello bro,please what are the required documents someone needs to attach .
Thanks
quote author=slickruler post=74686038]Sorry for the Late response....

I am a Network Engineer. ONce you get your CSA from IITPSA, I think another aspect is in packaging your application. I went over board with my application. Attached all my Professional Qualification. Made sure every document that was required was provided. The Introduction letter, i made them see that they NEED me. I Think Gods grace played its part too. My Visa was out after 17 days of Application and I was giving 5 Years.

Unto Job search.. You just have to be Dogged about it. To get a job from Nigeria itself is crazy. I applied on every known website (LinkedIn, Indeed, pnet.co.za e.t.c). I engaged Recruiters on LinkedIn everyday. Some will respond to you, Others wont. The Ones that responded told you that you had to come over for any body to take you serious. I put in about 10 applications or more everyday. I even applied more than ones in a role.. Rejection after Rejection. I dint give up.

I got angry one day and called someone to get my Tickets for me. Booked my flight for October 2. I was determined to just go and hustle it out. I have my 5 Years visa already why Am i wasting it in naija.. Mind you i had a job oh that paid me above 300k. It was a Gamble and a calculated risk. A friend i met here that assisted in my application advised that i shud chill till January.. It fell on def ears.. I dint mind coming over to even work in a bar ... As God will have it.. I bought my Tickets on Friday. the next Tuesday I was scheduled for an Interview for Wednesday (Zoom) , Did a video Interview with the Global HR on Thursday... Same Thursday i was asked what i wanted as my Pay.... I gave them a Figure.. Dint hear from them on Friday..Was worried maybe i over prized.. The next Monday, I got an Email with an Offer letter with the same Figure i asked for.. My Ticket was bought for 2nd October, I resumed 8th October.

I am sharing this for everybody or anyone that feels discouraged. If you have been Denied. Its not the end of the world. Look at the reason why you were denied and re apply again. Dont give up. The are opportunities here better than Nigeria especially if you are in IT (Developers, Programmers, Network/Security Enginners). I know Nigerians earning as much as 100k rand per month (God go soon do our own). If not for anything, Keep pushing for the future of your Kids. Sorry I dont see things Changing in Nigeria soon..


P.S If this Message touch you, abeg pray for me.. I applied for P.R.P this week. The same God that has established me here will make it a success

Congratulations. I enjoyed your story and I learned from it. I will soon finish with my PhD there too. I will apply for PR then.

Choi ... See Scope.. abeg the Yam still remain?? Help a brother

Juwohn:
You can but if you are arriving in OR, chances are that you may not leave the airport with your yam. Their is a new restriction on agricultural projects. On arrival, passengers are randomly picked to scan their bags. If your yam is very clean without sand, you may be allowed to go. Infested beans will not be allowed. Mine has been seized like twice. First time I almost cried, 5tubers �‍♂️

Thanks so much. Let me try my luck too.

Ok Nice... Applied for PR already... No Dulling..

Please can you post the SA commissions email address or what medium did your school use in contacting the embassy

I actually don't know whether my school contacted them or not because i never received a response from the school till now..but if you need to reach them their email is info.zang@vfshelpline.com always quote your reference number when sending them an email...or better still check this quoted post for vfs lagos helpline so that you can talk to one of their staff member

Follow the instructions until you reach where it will ask if to want to talk to someone from the high commission or better still after you've dialled and it's asking you questions just punch in 121 slowly... It's like customer care service.. Hope you understand?

Passport got delivered to my doorstep today around 12:35pm tioday.. Lo and behold, Study permit was given!!!!!!!!!!!! ..It took approximately 9 weeks..I want to thank everybody on this platform that has been of help .. I'm so grateful..you lots are the real MVP..Thank you so much..this is my first time of applying. NO agent, just a teenager that submitted genuine documents with the help of God and gurus on this platform..

I was given 2 years instead of 4 years which is the duration of my study due to the fact that my passport expires in 2 years time, guess I'll have to renew it at SA then..

slickruler:
Still waiting.. What is the Goodnews...

Visa was given Sir ..Thanks so so much.. I really appreciate

Juwohn:
Did you travel this year?

Omoocash:




Thanks so much. I will go with some tubers of Yam and plantains.

My advice, pack the yams well. Don’t put all your yam tubers in one luggage. Spread it across your luggage. Yam can be very heavy so don’t carry too much. In my own case I flew saa and they have more luggage allowance than other airlines. Plantain too should be unripe cos it will most likely be ripe by d time you get here. Don’t carry liquid like palm oil or honey in your luggage because you may get caught and you’ll forfeit everything.

book the hotel for a period of 1 or 2 weeks and you will state it in your letter of introduction the reason why you have chosen to stay in the hotel... As per you intend to stay in the hotel till you find a suitable accommodation off campus that will suite your academic purpose N.B any other reason that you can think of will be sufficient too

Thanks

The school collected deposit and all efforts to
get refund proved abortive

Need someone who could offer good information
on how to go about it

Was there any terms and conditions attached ? Is the school accredited ? How did you pay ? Transfer or someone deposited ?

Yes it is possible though saqa does not accept scanned docs but if the printer is sharp and good quality your friend can print it and submit for u . I have seen someone who was fortunate to use scanned copy but most times they reject . why not give to any one coming to drop for your friend here

editorAA:
Have you received a text message saying your application is under process either by mail or text message. If yes, when and what date did you receive it? And have you heard from them now?[Aquote author=babstope05 post=74631166]I submitted application for visit visa to SA since 12th of December, till now I haven't received any update from VFS Lagos. what could be the likely reason for that please?

requirement list on your admission letter sir

samtol4:

Sure.

The director promised to refund in the case of refusal

After refusal details was communicated to him, he said
we need to wait for six months.

After six months, he didn't pay. He said we need to send
the refusal letter which was sent.


Then he said he needs to confirm from South African embassy
to know if truly there was a refusal and up till now, he's yet
to confirm from them; according to him.


A friend in S.A. help made the payment through his own bank.

Yes, the school is accredited. Owned by a Nigerian.

He blocked me on all channels that I could use to reach him.
