I want to use my uncle bank statement, is it compulsory i ask him to get reference letter with it?

What exactly is the essence of the reference letter?

Can someone please help me with the full address of south Africa high commission in Lagos?

Thanks in anticipation

Hello house, i deemed it thoughtful to share my experience during my sojourn to south africa in the last 14 days.
I applied for my visa on the 21st of August at PH VFS center and was told the turn around time will be in a forth night however it turned out to be 6 weeks.

Fast forward, I was granted a 10 days single entry visiting visa. The duration was as a result of my introduction letter where i indicated i was going on a 10 days tourism.

Documents submitted are;

- Personal Bank statement with cash flow
- Bank reference letter.( it was a savings account so i needed two current account holders as references before i was issued the letter.)
- Yellow card
- Employer introduction letter
- Self introduction letter
-CAC certificate
- Share holders document of the company
-International passport
-Hotel reservation
-Flight reservation
-Passport photographs.

I booked with rwandair and i must say the flight was very cool economically and service wise. The layover at Kigali was not stressful rather it was quite fast and swift.
I made a paid hotel reservation from nigeria to ensure a seamless encounter with the immigration. my PTA was above $500 and all was just fine.

SA is a well developed country although the crime rate is alarming nevertheless, it remains the best country in africa as its called the gateway to Africa.
My visit was fun and i hope my narratives help some intending applicants to also experience a hitch free application process.

Please can you expatiate on this " ( it was a savings account so i needed two current account holders as references before i was issued the letter.)"?

I don't get, is this a must requirement for them to issue bank reference? What about if the bank account is current? Or can one only use savings account for visa application?


Thanks gurus.

Thanks for your response boss.

I will like to ask, can my sponsor which is my uncle use his company's bank statement for me or he has to use his personal account? As he is the manager of the company?

Also what can he do when most of his money is in his company's bank account?

Kindly help me. What could be done.

stevetop:


it will serve you better if he can give you statements for both accounts. It makes it easier to show how he makes his money.
Also, he has to state in his reference letter that he will be responsible for the cost of your studies as well as upkeep.

Ire O!

@Thecassanova, many thanks. I received 2 years multi entry study permit today after reapplying. I attached a copy of statement of account from the school. In the introductory letter, I stated how much I have with the school. I didn't state why I was denied. In the bank statement, I explained that the N1m deposit is a loan from a cooperative society in my office.

A big thank you to everyone in the house. God bless you!

Don't be desperate. If you are caught it will affect your chances of ever getting a visa for other countries. Embassies now share database. You can use six months to plan for it.

If you are coming with a visitors visa with no intention of returning back, know you can't change status inside South Africa.

abdullahi45:


which sch are you heading to man, are you goin for hons or msc?

did u use your personal acct for the visa?

you attach a copy of bank statement from sch, i dont get?

I am going for a flight training. I used my personal account for the visa.

I attached a statement of account with the school not bank statement from school. I made payment to the school, so I used my statement of account with them. One can use receipt as well.
