Abi, South Africa here I come to stay

i got it but no international passport

lumide533:
i got it but no passport

Fret not. You can get it tomorrow. 35k for 64-page passport at Alausa-Ikeja (that's if you stay in Lagos).

The issue is getting SA visa within one week may be difficult except they can expedite the visa process. I want to assume they know we are Nigerians.

Yes I do. I've just sent the requested documents. The information for interview is rather to urgent. One month notice could have been better

Who wrote deductive reasoning test? @Obi411...I live in Lagos, how do I go about getting the passport tomorrow?

I thought it was a normal face passport

do we have to get an international passport or what

Vennegirl7:

It is international passport. You can't travel without it.

I received the mail as well, I don't have transcript and international passport. I will just send them my driver license and national temporary I'd card, I will tell them I will just apply for international passport next week. Our school don't issue transcript to students...pls if u are receive the message too from HSBC, kindly add me up on BBM- my pin 228D40B1

@Obi411...I live in Lagos, how do I go about getting the passport tomorrow?

When I enquired the last time I visited the immigration office, they said I can get the 64-page passport for 35k in about some hours, unlike the 32-page passport which is less costly (27k) but, due to its popular demand, might take longer, a few days or maybe more. You'll need 3 passport photographs, your state of origin certificate, state of indigene-ship (ah dunno whordarris, jux carry your local government certificate if you no get am), and your birth certificate. Of course, plus your money. I'm yet to do mine, too.

Thanks @Obi411

Bro, calm down. You're not alone. First, take a bottle of chilled coke (or beer, as the case may be). Try not to be so nervous.

Now, first thing you should do is send them a mail stating why you cannot send the documents on the specified date. Don't go into much details, just tell them you're working on it and try to give at least a feasible date of submission. Work with when you'd get your transcript. If you're school is like mine where you request and pay online for it, you arrange it from there. If it's something you do inside the school, you can send someone trustworthy and reliable in campus to request it for you. If you do not know one, you can talk to your former classmate(s) about it, they'd probably know someone. Send it to the address of someone you know working in an institution or organization -- cos most schools do not mail transcripts to individuals -- after which you collect it from the person and scan it to the designated mail address. No -- it would not take one day. It would probably take a week, or even more, oh-yes. So just take your mind off Monday deadline.

For your international passport, I think if you go to the office without your local government I.D., they can still do it for you (but of course, you go drop something for dem to arranj-am); birth certificate, you can easily swear an affidavit for that. Two passport photographs, 35k for 64-page passport, and... What else? That's all. But if you are not satisfied with this explanation, you can then ask someone to way-bill the documents for you.

Don't forget to take a chilled drink first-o Goodluck..
