adegob: Pls has any1 here been granted tourist visa recently (in abuja), pls when did u apply and when did u get ur visa (i.e hw long did it take)
Pls Can any1 here also help with abuja embassy contacts.. Thanks as you respond, God bless u all!

@adegob, i applied for the tourist visa on wed 24th at Abuja got a msg on mon 29th that it was ready, picked it up on the 31st, visa granted, to be honest i was surprised at the time it took after reading tales of pple who had to withdraw their applications cos of the lenghty wait period, Its a stress free enviroment so long as u get there before 7am so u can be among the first 100 pple they attend to cos i guess they dont attend to more than a 100 per day. If its the tourist visa you want, u dont go to the embassy, its at the vfs center you apply for it, its off Lobito crescent off Ademola Adetokunbo road, Wuse 2. Ask any cab guy, they wld take u there, its a popular destination. As for the embassy contact numbers, google it, its there but dont count on them answering immediately.

Cheers.

@bolafancy, ur answers are in the past post of this thread, if u had taken ur time to read thru, notwithstanding from my own understanding if u are asked to pay the repatriation fee u had better do so as its the last criteria before the visa is granted, and im sure he's been given a time limit of which to do so, though i applied and got my own visa without been asked to pay, so i cant tell what criteria is used in asking pple to pay.

I applied myself using all the info I learnt on this thread. Thumbs up guys, you're the best.

I am really sorry for not being able to reply to some questions for the past weeks, right now i am hocked and i don't really have time to be regular on this thread like before. i have read through the comments of many posters like TYPOP, Surdik, Manager007, STENACO and many others, pls try and help as many colleagues as you can with the little info at your disposal and don't let others be scammed, whatever info you give here will go along way to help thousands. For now I don't think i will be regular here like before though i will try as much as possible to be here once in a while. Peace

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Manager007: 4:55pm On Aug 05, 2013
Clickemmy: Collinsfbi how u doing bro. I have got my SAQA, I also have my certificate evaluated by the department of higher education and training in which i was given REQV 15 (professionally qualified) i also hold a provinsional membership certificate of South Africa council of Eductors(SACE) I do hear and i know that some nigerians teach in public schøols though i have never been opportuned to meet one. Pls do u know d procedures of applying for teaching jobs in SA. I have also submited my phd thesis proposal @ UP but i need to get a teaching job


In order to apply or secure teaching jobs in SA, you would have to register with South African Council for Educators (SACE), its the regulatory body for all teachers in SA. You need to only submit your credentials at their office, they will accredit you and give you a teaching certificate. That will then enable you apply and secure teaching jobs in SA.
check out www.sace.org.za

There are always teaching jobs advertised every now and then in print and electronic media. Alternatively, check Department of Education, they always advertise.

I hope this answers your question.

thank you

my friend got his visa issued in accra but flew in lagos, he followed arik and he was asked for a ghanania id card but he didnt have one so he paid $300 before he could leave...I also was told they collect bribe from first timers like N4000 or N4500 which is very bad. I will fly via south african airline will keep checking the fees currently its $644.

Am sure you don't need much since you have your visa, just have your valid yellow card with you, your BTA, confirmed hotel reservation if staying in hotel and don't deal with strangers.. If you have any issue you can ask any security officer around.. And how long are you staying? And where are you going in SA?
