Going very well sir; I'm writing up my thesis now.

I have till july before applying. I'm thinking if i can get a letter from the bank stating that I'm the only signatory to the account, maybe that could help. I could also include it in the letter. Thanks alot

OmoBendel24:

Yeah, it will. But how much more time do you have left, and to spare if need be too? Just ensure the introduction letter is properly done to cover the sponsorship well if you understand me

Good to hear bro, will u be staying back in Sa or coming back to Nigeria ? Best of luck in all your future endeavour

I don't think I want to stay back for anything here. Besides, I have a job in Nigeria and would like to go back to see how it goes. I would rather prefer to move to Canada or elsewhere though. Trust you are also doing well.

Ok thanks could you please enlighten me on the " Spousal Visa" or Life partner permit " what are the differences and who qualifies to apply. Thanks and God bless.

You qualified for spousal visa if married to SA citizen while life partner permit if for those not married but have strong bond and decide to live together you apply for life partner (living lover).

Evening guys!

Has the SA embassy specified a calculated minimum amount that financial statements should prove for maintenance, like the UK embassy does?

How much is the recommended minumum for a study permit, after having paid the full tuition fees and purchased medical insurance?

@staggerlee @samuelUMOH @iWise @naruto02

Since you have paid fees 500k upward should be enough however 700k upward is better but you can use anybody as sponsor .There is no specific amount at SA Embassy

Dayhor:


Okeydokey! Thanks!

Could you enlighten about the application procedures at the Lagos embassy, and advise which day of the week is best for a non-lagosian to go for submission?

Tuesday checking of documents, Wednesday payment at the bank and Thursday submission at the Embassy .

Hello house,

I finally got my visa today! Praise God!.

However, i applied for critical skills and got exceptional skills - 2years.

Does anyone know why this was issued rather than the critical skills? And is it renewable?

Please... anyone here attending University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg?

Congrats.

Exceptional skills is the old name for critical skills permit, it's similar.

You can renew the visa when it expires, albeit, you can apply for a permanent residence immediately with the current visa you have and God willing, you can get it even before your current visa expires.

Cheers!

Yes i applied in Lagos and i already had an offer for employment which i have of course accepted.

When i get to SA, do i still need to go to the home affairs office to submit all the documents listed?

Thanks a lot for the advise.
