It depends on individual lifestyles, I don't know what fees are like in stellinbosch, fees vary on courses and schools. But for feeding and housing in stellinbosch a striclty white suburb in Western Cape, 45 mins drive from cape town is quite expensive so from to of my head I will say R6k to R7k a month. In todays Nigeria exchange rate, that's about a rand is 30 naira so that's about N180k to N210k.
Btw this isn't professional advise just top of my head

This is spot-on! Stellenbosch is quite pricey. If you are self funding I suggest you try other schools that are equally high ranking. Cheers

No you can't since you've submitted already, all you could do is to extend in SA. If you wish to reside there for some time, or more than 2weeks

You cannot extend your visa in South Africa! Except you have a temporary residence permit
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by phemy1230: 11:13am On Oct 19, 2016
Good morning everyone in the forum, I have few questions to ask, and I will be happy if any experts gives me a reply soon.

1) I heard passengers on South African airways are always treated better than other airlines by the south African immigration, I.e they don't scrutinize much on BTA with them?

2) what is the official BTA minimum to take over there?

3) what is the official dollar rate to naira now if anyone has an idea?

Thanks for the response.

The BTA issues is been make difficult by naija security agencies who tends to profiteer from it,the scare people and makes it look as if heaven will fall,where as the Immigration at the point of entry in SA rarely ask for your BTA,chances are they will ask for your Accommodation confirmation and Yellow card 10x before asking you for your BTA,.....Just look for like 3k rands or more depending on your stay period,no point in lookibg for scarce and highly priced dollars since you need rands and you are still gonna change dollars to rands
Thanks for the response.

The new immigration law allows you to extend your visitor's visa in Sa but not change to temporary residence .You can't CHANGE status but you can EXTEND .However you must have strong reasons for applying for an extension .

Answers to your questions:
T he South African immigration has no business with the flight you boarded once you arrived,you will be on same queue for clearance with people who boarded Emirates .The issue is in Nigeria SA airways staff are well paid and have manners compare to Arik staff who perhaps not earning much and mostly Nigerians ,who will be asking you funny questions in order to rip you of dollars .

Truth be told SAA passengers are treated better at immigration than arik passengers, this does not only occur in SAA and SA, it applies to all countries. Also direct flight from Nigeria to other parts of the world, passengers are treated so shabily unlike you fly via a connecting flight. Once its a Nigerian registered airline, the security level is raised, so checks are raised. It doesn't also mean that if you fly SAA you can't be returned at POE, you can if you no get right documents.
