1.Did you include CAC form co2 and co7 ?

2.was it invitation from a resident or a hotel reservations?

3.If hotel reservations who and how did you obtained your reservations?

All these are also part of the required documents,not only your company account balance

Sorry to hear that. How long did you have to wait before you got a response from the Embassy to pick up your passport?

Hello all the SA gurus in the house, especially those at UKZN, I want to ask you a couple of questions with respect to accommodation at UKZN. I need some advise and I will appreciate if I can be guided.
(1) As a PhD student, I am considering to stay in an accommodation either close to Westville or Howard Campus. Which one will you advise and why.
(2) What is the cost implications of renting a one bedroom apartment(i.e. apartment has one bedroom, one living room often joined with the kitchen in an open plan setting.)
(3) Which of the 2 areas is the safest?

@Chukwuka16, @samuelUMOH,@femiaction and other veterans. Please advise. Many thanks.

Depend on your program . Choose accommodation close to your dept / supervisor .

1.Which of d campuses is your dept located? Stay close to your dept /supervisor

2. Houses are cheaper around westville campus compared to Howard. But Howard is more central and within town. Westville self con could be btwn 2100-2500 rands. Howard could be btwn 3000-3500 rands and could be without light and water. A miniflat with a sitting room might go for like 4k rands in howard/glenmore axis..exclusive of light and water

3. Durban is a place where u generally have to be security conscious.

Many thanks @Chukuwka16 for your detailed response. I saw your PM and have responded.

Chukwuka16:
@ solistic I replied your pm.

I can only speak of school accommodation at Westville campus. The cost is around ZAR 25899 (for the complete session excluding holidays) and ZAR 1602 (for the current holidays - around 89 Rands/day). It is close to school and safe. Furthermore, I have the convenience of going to office at odd hours without fear.

The downside however are:
1. Sharing conveniences (toilet and bathroom) with other folks. The cleaners however come around everyday excluding weekends and public holidays.
2. Sharing kitchen with other folks. I haven't had a problem since other options do exist and besides the cleaners do a fine job keeping it clean.

3. Noise from other flatmates. Well it's normal since reading isn't primarily intended to be done at the residence.

4. Using the laundromat would involve you keeping an eye on it to see when there is less pressure. Most times during odd hours.

For off campus/private accommodation, the downside from interaction with my colleagues are basically:
1. Mobility - since it does involve some trekking to get out of school and the buses movement isn't really timed. They move when they get filled or as the spirit leads (lol).

2. Safety - there have been cases of muggings at night close to some spots. Cases of stolen laptops, phones and other valuables.

Factors that might affect your choice of residence - primary campus of research and mobility.

I hope this helps. If anything does pop in, I would modify.

I believe the bosses in the house would throw more light.

Regards and congrats in advance!

Thanks a lot Samtol4. My dept/Supervisor's office is at Westville. So, I might have to consider that. Also, I am coming with my 2 years plus child,
so I need a place close to a good preschool.

Hi
For the sake of your child, it's important you consider getting an accommodation on/not so far from a taxi route. Transportation could be terrible.
Since your Supervisor is on the Westville campus, it's better you stay around. There are quite a number of good preschools around.
Cheers.

It varies. It will be more now in winter cos pple will use heaters and geysers more. Lets say between 250 to 400 per month. Depending on your house.

Yes, you can. Travelstart, Wakanow, Cheapflights are all legitimate sources you can use.

You don't have to stay in Westville. Staying close to Howard college is also fine. During my Masters program at UKZN, I lived in Manor gardens close to Howard college and took the Campus shuttle to Westville campus on a daily basis. Mind you, this bus service is free and it's scheduling is quite friendly.

Please be advised that Glenmore is closer to Howard college than Westville college. Living in Glenmore, in my own opinion is not very safe. This is because the roads are lonely and one can be very vulnerable to muggings.

Not entirely true. I have heard of more muggings in westville dan i have heard in glenmore. The fact is just be security conscious. Glenmore has regularly patrolling security agents as it is a major residential area for families and not just students.

The college of health sciences of UKZN will gladly take her provided she meets the admission criteria. Note that MSc in any discipline in the afore-stated college is at least a two year program and offer fee remission for at most two years. I thing her chosen profession falls under critical skills, and as such she should easily get a critical skills visa if she registers with the relevant professional bodies in SA and has sufficient work experience.

First step is SAQA, she probably be rated NQF 8. Then She apply for MSc, if CV and records is uptight she can get a good supervisor willing to cover some of her cost or even full tuition.

Once she get Study permit and arrive at SA, she can however work for 80hrs/month. Within a year or two she can apply for critical skills.

greyboy5000:
thank you saw your message late
No his passport wasn't stamped red
And he is not planning to use fake bank statement again

The post was initially hidden and I was banned from Travel section for 24hrs. I don't know what was wrong in that post.

It Better be genuine this time and he should explain why he used a fake one in the first place.

Hello Guys, Been ages i heard from Oga Justwise. i Hope he is ok.

For those who have applied for tourist visas through Lagos, and are yet to get a response or feedback on thier application, i would advise you call (01-4612067, 01-4612051) the Consulate and worry them. As their delay can be annoying.

I submitted mine in the first week of June, and had to call them this week to lay a complaint. Thankfully they eventually issued it and i picked it up today.

Glenmore may not be the best for her since supervisor is at Westville .moreso Glenmore upper area always quiet and lonely I won't advise new comer to stay there especially with a child . Rent a room / self contained in a complex that is well secure . Weather Howard or Westville ,crime rate in SA is extremely high . You will be watchful and advoid walking at night pending when you master the environment .Above all safety is in God he will shield her from evil

Thanks a lot for your input. I will put into consideration.
