It is allowed if you or your brother is financially capable. Your brother must be residing legally in SA for him to be the custodial.

Private high schools are expensive too.

Check vfs website for study permit requirements for a minor.
yes, l know thank you.

I used my MTN to browse when I got to OR Tambo airport, but the following day my line was not browsing. I later resorted to SA MTN data line.

Hello house, I am an administrative staff of one of the federal university in Nigeria with annual gross of a little bit above 1million. I recently apply for a Master program in a south Africa university waiting for the university to reply anytime from next week. My question is about financial bank statement in visa application process. One, can I use my salary account as a self sponsor. Note: cooperative contribution, and other charges are deducted from the source. Two, how much is advisable to have in my account balance, and lastly can I use my uncle as my sponsor even duo we bear different surname. Thank you in advance house.

Hello, Please does anyone have the experience about buying one way ticket to South Africa? My husband is joining me on spousal visa and we are planning to buy the ticket. One way ticket on Ethiopia Airline is the cheapest so far. Hope there wont be any issue with the immigration overthere?

Take the photocopies and originals of those documents that need certification to any high court, they will certify them for you at N300 each.
The purpose of evaluation was for critical skill Visa.

Usually the visa should have "returned ticket waived" on it otherwise it shouldn't be an issue.

Good evening,something about proof of financial fund is that you must have an amount of money that can take care of your travels and tuition fees at that present moment in your statement of account, and also a good flow of income , else you would be denied based on financial reasons. I suggest that you have a closing amount of about #1m-3m

Hi guys!

Is an offer of employment from a SA start-up firm valid for a critical skills permit application?

Has anyone been or know anyone who’s been in a similar scenario?

Where is it usually better to apply from, regarding approval rate and processing duration - SA or Nigeria?


So long as they are a legal entity and can give you a valid employment contract indicating the you fall under the critical skill permit category , you are good to go. You can even apply for critical skills without job offer so long as you can provide proof of funds to sustain your self for one Year.

It's best you apply from Nigeria.
Change of status on a visitors visa is extremely difficult.

Go to home affairs website, read the requirements and package your application well and you are good to go.

As regards the critical skill Visa, I thought one just needs evidence of proof of funds of R3000. In your opinion what is the minimum amount you think one should have in his statement?

Well, as far as you have any of the critical skills stated in the gazette, and you have the needed documentation, you can apply. If you are within SA just apply. In two weeks you will get it. If you have a valid offer you'd get a 5 year critical skills visa. Whatever you do, make sure all your documentation is valid. If you have an offer, make sure it is with a registered company.

Depends. Each of these travel coys av targets for airlines. Wakanow normally pushes sales for South African airways. While travelstart has slightly lower rates for Rwanda or Kenya airways. Jumia Travel is new in the business. Not sure how their rates are.

But from experience, I've used both wakanow and travelsrart. Travelstart makes you pay heavily for any change to your ticket after it has been booked. Wakanow is more reasonable. Also wakanow has more coverage as they have many travel centers around especially in and out of lag. With travelstart you just have to keep calling customer care if you have issues.

Rates are always slightly cheaper on travelstart tho. Especially for Rwanda and Kenya airways.

If on a visitor visa, he can't change status.
