I submitted by visa application on the 26th of November and till now, I've not heard anything or received any text from them. Could this be a problem that I won't be getting the visa since its taking a long time right now.

TYPOP:


Call them and ask them to tell you the status of your application. The person may ask for your passport and say it is not ready yet. Ask specifically for which stage of the processing it is at. That way, you know for sure.

Cheers and all the best.

I'm reading from where I stopped the last time (pg 108) and I'm not sure if you're satisfied already. I'll continue reading after this reply and if you're sorted already, good.

The SA government support "the power of attorney". Immigration officials may give him a hard time but he should stand his ground. He now has a Visa and should be allowed in. He only needs to have the visa pasted on his passport.

Also, before he leaves Nigeria, let him apply for transfer of visa from his expired passport to the new one. That way, immigration won't even know anything.

Cheers, and all the best.

Pls house. I have a few Questions. How much shd b in my sponsor bank statement for application of study visaa. And how long does it take abuja to grant a study visa for my sch resumes 15th of january.

yinchar:

It actually depends on your account turnover, that's the most important thing, your closing balance can even be below N250K, so far the turnover is high you good to go...At abuja, it takes nothing less than 4 weeks or even more in some cases so for you to resume by Jan 15. depends on your submission date.

Ok thank you very much. I dont have my Saqa certificate yet bcz my account was susspended. But i have a copy of d saqa application form my sch sent to me n my ref no frm SAQA itself. Can i apply with that in lag or take no chances n go to abj? And is lag still accepting study permit application?

yinchar:

I'll advise you resolve the issue of your SAQA before applying so as not to waste your precious time. From my understanding you can apply at either of the places, but it seems Abuja has stopped accepting study permit applications for this year, you should be able to submit early January, so my candid advice is try to resolve the SAQA issue and submit your application by January.

Not at all. The embassy is currently dealing with a lot of applications but am sure you will get a response from them before they go on xmas break.

Aboderinkay:

Thanks alot. Lastly what is vfs? And must i apply thru them or straight at the embassy? And how much is d visa fee if u dont mind too.

TYPOP:


Seeing that a lot of things can happen in Naija, I wouldn't say it's not possible. But make sure you get the vaccination itself before you leave naija. That way, we make the world a safer place cos we do what we are supposed to do. You can collect the shot the night you want to travel.

TYPOP:


VFS is a visa application centre that receives application on behalf of the SA embassy from citizens for the purpose of short term visits. They will take your application to the embassy and bring the result back to you.

If you are applying for visitor's permit, yes, you have to apply through VFS

For visa fees, check this post https://www.nairaland.com/944102/general-south-africa-visa-enquiries/104#27732676


Thank you a lot. I'm applying for study visa. So I don't need VFS yh?
Cheers.
