Hello Good Nairalanders,

I am planning to buy a ticket for one of my siblings to start a healthcare job in the UK. I am currently not in Nigeria. A copy of the VISA he showed me showed a COS with duration of 3 months on the VISA.

Can I buy a one-way ticket for my sibling or should it be a return ticket? Thanks.

That's just the vignette. He'd get a resident card when he arrives in the UK and yes you can book one way ticket for his flight.

Oga you aren't in the USA, I put it to you. We should stop forming what we aren't on social media. All visa has 3months validity stamped in the "vignette" and someone who claimed to have had a visa before talk more of being in the USA will not be asking such questions. I rest my case.

Calm down Oga. Not all countries use vignette or resident cards. Some put the entire duration of the visa as stamps on passports.
The fact he's not used to the 3 months vignette doesn't mean he's lying.
Just focus on the question if you want to help please.

This has nothing to do with Nigeria. I was in S. A for about 2 months, last year.
South Africa has been experiencing a major power outage issue for an extended period, which they term "load shedding." During load shedding hours, which are published by the power outage companies, the power goes out for 2-3 hours. It happens nearly every day.

It's the equivalent of what was termed "rationing" in Nigeria a long time ago. South Africans are fed up with the power outage issue, and this video is simply a humorous show of that frustration.


Exactly what I was trying to tell people. We just like to personalize what has nothing to do with us.

This isn't right though. South Africa has been suffering from loadshedding for a while now. They are having terrible challenges with power. This video was done to diss their own government but as par say Naija get main character syndrome, we must make everything about ourselves.
By the way this video was done last year so it has nothing to do with Afcon or the Nigerian game.

Skilled Worker visa holders can study (with no limit on the number of study hours if it doesn't interfere with the job they have been sponsored to do).

Crime / £100K Worth Of Drugs, Cash And Assets Seized As Nigerian Man Jailed by 080bjaked(m): 12:50pm On Jan 23


A 27-year-old man has been sentenced to jail for his involvement in running a national drugs line.

Yesterday (18 January 2024), Mathias Akinyemi (DOB: 02/07/1996) of Ardwick Green North in Manchester appeared at Manchester Crown Court where he was jailed for 3 years and 11 months.

The sentence comes after the defendant was convicted of possession of criminal cash, and possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs, cocaine and cannabis.

Akinyemi came to the attention of police after he was identified through intelligence that linked him to a national county lines operation, shipping drugs in bulk and in smaller amounts across the country.

On Friday 13 October 2023, officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) carried out a search warrant at Akinyemi’s address on Ardick Green North. Inside they found a number of controlled drugs, the remnants of what appeared to be plant growing equipment in the attic and bundles of cash.

A quantity of cannabis was recovered with an estimated street worth of £25,000. Officers also found a block of cocaine stuffed inside a sock and hidden in the toilet which was estimated to be worth £30,000 on the streets of Manchester.

Taking into account the drugs, cash and assets, the total value of goods seized amounted to £100,000.

PC Haydn Cross of GMP Challenger Organised Crime Team said: “The jail sentence that’s been secured as a result of this investigation should serve as a stark warning to other county lines offenders. Greater Manchester Police takes a zero-tolerance approach and is relentless in its pursuit of those involved in serious organised crime.”

A tourist visa extension by a maximum of the duration of initial visa (30 days) while in the republic is permitted by the law. However, there is no guarantee that an application for tourist visa extension (via VFS) would be approved, unless extenuating circumstances are demonstrated. So, unless it's for medical or skilled professional reasons, a 30-day extension isn't worth the hassle.
Relocate via legal means or stay wherever you are a legal resident, and make a meaningful living there. That plan is simply a path to a harsh reality and an eventually rude awakening.

Well put. It's almost impossible to make an honest living in the Republic now as an illegal resident. Bank accounts, home rentals, job applications all require evidence of legal residence so you'd be at people's mercy even to survive (even your naija people go really exploit you). It's such a terrible idea.

There was a time people tried to use refugee applications to change their visa status but that is now terribly oversubscribed. People caught up in that process are really biting their fingers.

There's no two ways that unemployment is responsible for most of the crimes committed by young ones. I was there and I know it.

I used to do pilfering/petty theft to help myself. Even on this forum, I used to beg or try to swindle people to get any little financial favour just to survive because I didn't have a job.

Could you believe since I got a job (to God be the glory), none of such thought ever crossed my mind again?

With this, I wante to say every bad person out there deserve another chance with a job.

I have changed.

Congratulations Sir. Now it's time for restitution.
I can help you with discussions and some assistance on how that can be done.
You really don't want the past calling when the stakes are high so please deal with them while you can.
Cheers mate.

The thread is titled "General South Africa Visa Enquiries" for a reason, it's meant for those who are interested in visiting or staying at South Africa.
If anyone feel they have some personal sentiments against it, you have no reason to be here and there is definitely no need to attack the group or it's members.
Nairaland has millions of topics and threads which might interest you so please spend your time and energy in those. Nobody needs to spread their viles across groups especially those founded on baseless sentiments.

Almost all countries have their threads in the travel section, if you believe one or more are the best, please go to those threads.
This group has helped a lot of people to apply, visit, study in and migrate to South Africa and we won't shut it down cos of some unfounded opinions especially ones that were not solicited.

Abeg, 2024 is too young to spend time poke-nosing into other people's business, spend your time wisely.

@Justwise, we'd appreciate some moderacy abeg.

Thanks for chipping it. Please, are there any tourist friendly areas you can recommend in SA?

Honest suggestion, stick to Cape Town central business district. Almost everything you want there as a tourist (beach, water front, lovely restaurants, aquarium, paragliding, NG food, malls, nice view etc) but plan a day or 2 out of CBD for wine tasting which you might go to stellenbosch for, Cape Point, skydiving, bungee jumping or shark diving. Somewhat expensive but adventureous.
Also, please avoid going out by foot after 8pm unless you are in a ride. Avoid random people calling you on the streets (sure you know what I mean).

Hello all,
Please does anyone has any idea or advise as to where and how I can book South African local flight from Johannesburg to Capetown and back. I’m to enter Johannesburg soon but I also want to visit Capetown, so if anyone knows the best way to book flight between the two locations, it will be greatly appreciated.

FlySafair is usually the cheapest between Jborg and Cptown. Used them a couple of times and it was good experience (except for zero in-flight entertainment)
However if your trip is mainly for tourism purpose, maybe you can use the bus or train (prasa has resumed back). That way you'd enjoy the trip but if you are constrained by time, flight is best.

To the glory of God, we completed the purchase of our house (new build) last week. Mentally exhausting but totally worth it. Mortgage was with Halifax (90% LTV). Relatively smooth process with attentive mortgage brokers and pro-active solicitors. We had our snagging on Friday and all issues were cosmetic, which made me so happy 'cos of the horror stuffs I've read about new builds.

Monthly mortgage is about £400 above our previous rent, we fixed for 2 years so hopefully, there will be some calm in the interest rate by the time we re-mortgage.

Grateful to everyone for the invaluable comments and advice.

Huge congratulations. You've also stayed beyond 2 years right?
