Congrats ..what are studying at UCT?

Cape Town is beautiful. The campus is great ..are you in Upper campus? Amazing resources and top class infrastructure to support any forward looking student. I hear the registration is Feb 16 for PG. Have you paid tuition? Or are you on scholarship? Are you living in one of the school's accommodation ?

Splendid. I'm on scholarship and going for Electrical Engineering. I'v not paid tuition but i'v registered for their health plan. I'm actually going with my family bcs my wife is also going for her MSC in Nursing, so we will start d visa processing hopefully by November. Any input on the visa processing for us (Myself, wife and 2 kids) is welcome.

Same stage with me. I was a visiting student at UCT recently and in process of gaining full time entry....process ongoing.

The visa processing is multifaceted. Three years student visa for PhD in first instance. According to available information online, it might cost approximately 200K excluding bank balance etc.

I think IAPO\UCT would assist just in case you encounter some problems.

House please help me wiith numbers to call to track my application at the vfs Abuja. The tracking website is down and the numbers on the vfs site is not going thru except one which was not answered.

nadesh:

You mentioned SAE in one of your posts but bros, u are missing my question. I went to the embassy and in the list of requirements i was given was Letter of undertaking (health insurance renewal). I want to know how you wrote that.

Baba u made it sound different the first time, sorry my bad. Everything was handled by the school, I only filled the online print out and submitted, and I doubt it was a requirement then, went through their main office and not the submission and collection center at Lobito I.e if u are in Abj. Again I will inquire and let u know. Sorry for the plenty grammer.

Baba beside the tracking number they gave to u, I doubt they will take calls to track it for u. Either way when it's ready collection they will alert you by both sms and mail.

Yea, you'll be needing to attach them to your application. However, for your application to be complete, you should also ensure to include:

1. A Letter of Introduction that states your connection to 2, 3 and 5 that you listed.
2. A confirmed flight reservation for both of you.
3. An accommodation arrangement that can be verified directly from whoever is reserving the accommodation for the duration of your stay.
4. Yellow fever (vaccination) card that is up to date for both of you.
5. And then, of course, the usuals i.e. completed application form, passports etc.

You should be good to go with all that, as long as they are verifiable and free of any forgeries or anything like that.

Good luck!

I am just reading this cos i have been busy exploring Cape Town. You would definitely get a European match in Cape Town. Lots of whites fly into Cape Town all the way from Europe for holiday. On my flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town the plane was a massive A340 and it was full to the brim and it was dominated by Europeans who flew from Europe. The man sitting on my left on the plane flew from London while the girl on my right flew 21 hours on 4 different flights to get to Cape Town. If Europeans can descend on Cape Town in their thousands for holiday you should know there is something special here that they cant get in Europe. Yesterday as I was having breakfast in the restaurant in my hotel a Nigerian approached me and asked me if I was a Nigerian and I said Yes, we started talking and he told me he came to South Africa from Nigeria in 1996 and moved to the United States after 10 years in 2006 after some years he left the United States and returned to South Africa. This shows that there is some thing special here. And from what I have discovered in the one week i've been here is that Cape Town has good infrastructure coupled with natural beauty (the table mountain and the other mountains) that cant be replicated anywhere.

Yesterday i went on the city bus tour on the red open roof double decker bus and we passed through Table Mountain, Camps Bay, Clifton, Bantry Bay, Sea Point, Green Point, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront popularly called V & A Waterfront.

Watch out for the beautiful beaches at Camps Bay and Clifton and try the Cable Car ride to the top of the most popular landmark in Cape Town, the Table Mountain (although i didnt do the ride because visibility was zero yesterday).

So dont worry about the European experience cos you would get it. Even the weather here is as cold as Europe. What you should be bothered about is whether the city would not distract you from your Ph D programme.

It depends on your location. If you happen to be around the southern surburbs, there is a nice naija restaurant at Rodenbosch opposite Shoprite.

Thank you. I am in Cape Town City Centre. I was able to locate a naija restaurant near 89 on Loop Street by the corner of Longmarket Street. I ate eba, egusi soup and fish. I was so happy to eat eba but they didnt have naija beer Star or Gulder to wash it down. But I spotted naija malt drink in their fridge. For the benefit of nairalanders who may find themselves in Cape Town in the future you can try that place.
