please house , how do i download the SA visa application form... someone told me there is a recent one than the one i am seeing at the VFS site... can someone please help me with the link so that i can complete my application

Additionally, can i use my investment Advisory statement from my investment bank in place of my account statement? Help with feedback

@ emboldened

Go to the photocopy operators inside the vfs office for a copy

They will probably charge you N50 per page but they usually have the latest copy.

I can't really help you with the other part.

Hello everyone,i will be through with my MBA in few months and will like to go for my DBA in SA as there is no sch that do that in Nigeria...Please i will like to know which states in the SA r awesome for students and also how much will it cost me(excluding tutition fee...Just feeding,accommodation and other lil stuffs) for the period of my program which will run 3-4yrs....Though i contacted someone who talked about the university offering me a part time job...I know only PHD students must lecture part time as they r more of academic pattern so idk if it will be possible to get a job while i run my DBA program??
NOTE:: I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A SELF EMPLOYED RIGHT FROM TIME SO IVE NEVER WORKED UNDER ANYONE BEFORE NOR DO IVE ANY VOCATIONAL SKILL...THANKS

I saw your pm earlier and I am sure you want some answers to some of the questions you raised.

1) I am pretty sure your MBA is an academic one not a professional one for you to want to further to the DBA level. I am not entirely sure of schools that offer DBA in Sa, but a quick google search with the key words "university that offer DBA in South Africa" should do the trick

2)Provinces like Western Cape, KwaZuluNatal and Gauteg are awesome for students but probably also expensive.

3) No one can estimate the money you will require for the duration of your studies in Sa accurately until you secured an admission into a university. Also keep in mind that cost of living varies with taste of the individual involved and also varies from province to province

4) It is possible that you might get a part time job while doing a post grad course in sa but it is not guaranteed. Hence, I will advise you to come with your own money so that you will not get stranded.

Hope I helped, Good luck!

Thanks bro for ur awesome contribution...I sure appreciate..Well my MBA is a professional one thats why i want to go for DBA after im done this Aug...Anyways i plan on living a modest life when i come over there...The cities u mentioned can u give a range of living expenses there??Someone said i might be cool on R10k monthly budget...Thnks once again

R10k should be more than enough for those provinces I mentioned if you plan to live a modest life.

k thanks i appreciate..I checked universities offering dba in Sa but non actually is located in these provinces Western Cape, KwaZuluNatal and Gauteg...Mind sharing other province that are not too expensive for a student planning a modest lifestyle??

Maybe the province of Free state or Eastern Cape, but I doubt there will be any offering DBA outside those provinces I mentioned earlier.

Hi guys,

My dashboard changed to this "Your application has been assessed by "The South Africa High Commission,Lagos" and is being returned to the LAGOS."

Does it mean its ready for collection?

Please someone should help. I have not gotten an email though.

Many unis offer Dba, but they mostly offer it under their school of business. WITS, UCT, Uni of Pretoria and UkZN have school of businesses that offer DbA. Just that it’s quite competitive.

Some schools will even allow you to do PhD with your MBA.

Hi house, i got my passport today. Applied February 15, got a mail yesterday evening and I picked up today. Tourist visa

I'm watching the trend of those getting their passports back lately and its been an average of 6 weeks.

Hoping mine comes out 4 weeks oooo. I applied when it was 5 weeks to our intended travel date. I pray God favors all with an early positive outcome.
