I was told at d embassy to get accompanying visa for my kids at vfs. We their parents are going for study. Pls I need someone to reel out how to go about this again. Does it mean we will travel and leave them behind to come pick them later bcs presently all of us now have different dates of visa application. Confused again. The eldest is 3 years plus. Thanks
Morning brother, You have to get your study permit first before you can apply for your kids at vsf. Then conditions is not hard its the copy of your permit and all others documents

Hello Sultan003 and the entire NL, i have some questions bothering me on the ECSA registration. i hold a Btech from a SA uni, from all the info gather so far i understand am to apply for a professional engineering tech haven been working for four years plus with a multinational coy in manufacturing sector in Nigeria.

Do I need to be in SA again before i can apply? if NO how do i start the registration in Nigeria
Can a referee with COREN/NSE be considered in place of Registered ECSA?

Thank you for the anticipated response.

No you don't need to be in SA to apply, except when they call you for an interview and all that.

yes, you are eligible to be registered as a PrEng Tech, especially if you are able to defend your work experience.

I think in the form it states that someone registeredin with ECSA must act as your referee, so it is better to follow that than gamble
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Growingboi(m): 9:57am On Jan 21, 2016
Thank you for the response.
As per d referee, I dont have up to three persons as ECSA registered member. During my thesis, the requirement of a mentor was also ECSA bt my mentor was a Nigerian with a COREN without ECSA n my thesis was well accepted, dat is d reason i asked the question.

How do I start the registration process from here? dont be angry for the disturbance o ejoorr!

Hello house. I think I'm getn fed up wit ds issue of visa. As I posted here in december dat I was denied study visa bcs I went to vfs,I saw someone 2day at d embassy who came from Vfs to certify his visa for his wife's accompanying visa. He told me that he did his PhD visa at d same vsf under visitors permit on thursday last week,and by monday this week he was called to come pick up his visa and was given multiple entry. Same vfs that said they don't process study permit.
That apart, I was told at d embassy 2 weeks ago that I can add my two kids to my wife's study permit application at d embassy. On getting there 2day to submit my wife's application, they told her she has 2 options to add her kids:
1. Either as accompanying at the vfs. But in this case, the kids will not be able to attend school in SA.
2. Or to look for school for them and apply for study permit for them at d embassy.
For both options,we would have to wait for d outcome of our individual applications b4 this can be done. Presently, we don't have the time in our hands. Both of us should have resumed in our school but due to all these ambiguities.we travel to lagos almost every week,wasting money and risking lives bcs of incoherent information.
Please who can tell us the best way to go about this bcs we are planning to go again to lagos next week for d kids? Thanks.

Bros u are giving yourself head ache, just go to the embassy and apply for study visa, you and your wife should apply separately. When u guys get ur study visas, then go to vfs and apply for your kids, any other way is just luck or trial and error.

No one checks the visa of a 3 year old before he or she is enrolled in school. They can only go to what they call pre-school! Real school starts when they are 6 years.
Accompany visa is done @ vfs

I think you and your wife should apply for study visa separately. Then when you both get the study visa. You will apply for dependant visa for your children at vfs. If they are below 5 or 6 years they can't apply for study visa cos they are not of school age according to South African law.

Brother don't waste your money and time. Go and get another visa they will not allow you with visa because you want to over stay.
Just a follow up to this question/answer. I applied for visit visa and VFS told me I do not need a new visa for this travel. I travelled yesterday and am now in Johannesburg. The visa is valid as long as you are not staying for more days than initially approved and you enter before expiration. Thanks @femiaction for your assistance.

It is at Molade Okoya street, VI. At d back of Eko Hotel. Not clear as in what? Not clear in printing or how to fill the information? The form is two: one of 13 pages and one of 20 pages. I think that of 13 pages is d latest one. Though the two are acceptable at d embassy only that d one of 20 pages contains too much of irrelevant questions. I hope this helps?

How many days you got from immigration at airport? Because your visa will expire on 26th January. If you stay beyond your valid visa you will pay for overstasy. Thanks
