Thanks for the prompt response.
1)U are saying the child can get a south African passport. Then does she need a Nigerian visa?
2)I heard though not sure that south Africa does not accept dual citizenship.

You need to certify your degree certigicate and send it along with the completed form. ECSA will need to evaluate your degree and tell you the right professional designation you qualify for. You are required to pay their fees for registration and evaluation of your degree.

DadR:
One more thing please, did your brother purchase a one-way ticket and submit the evidence with his application or there was no need for that?

@sething

sething:


It's better to purchase return ticket because of some crazy immigration official at the point of entry even though you have critical work visa with you.

[s]The child will not have SA passport until 18 under the new immigration law[/s] . if she has nigerian passport she doesn't need visa .

DadR:
OK. I was asking if the ticket was included in your brother's application for CSV.

paulavon:
Use a booked return flight ticket for your application.You don't have to pay for the flight yet. After you have gotten your Visa you can choose to fly with oneway or return ticket.

odigiri1983:

Please kindly advise me on the medium to pay registration fee for ECSA application?Can't see where to use card transfer.Also,clarify to me if registration fee is different from the assessment fee?Thanks,hoping to see your response.

DadR:
Ok thank you. I was thinking it shouldn't be compulsory to submit a booked ticket since it's a Critical Skill Visa and not a tourist or study visa.

Hairybelly01:
Planning my trip already to SA. Any idea on
1) if my GtB MasterCard can be used over there?

2)what cost of feeding is on an average

3) also Cost of transportation

4) how to get access to internet for the 10 days I'll be spending and cost of getting a sim card plus internet connection

Geenosko:


Not correct. There's something called children's passport issued to those under the age of 16.

prodam:
Aside CSV, is there any other benefit of obtaining the SAQA evaluation?

Would want someone to let us know a few other opportunities available for holders of this evaluation.

Thanks.

Hello I applied for a short visa last month at Abuja vfs office but up till now I haven't gotten my visa yet.does it take that long to get your visa ?cause am worried it taking long.it says my visa is still under assessment

samtol4:
children passport ? No passport is issued to immigrants kid

paulavon:
ECSA do make use of credit card payment,please check the site very well.The registration fee is different from the certificate evaluation fee. They do not accept evaluation done by SAQA,they like conducting their own evaluation. ECSA registration is quite stressful, though am an engineer but i registered with occupational health and safety professional body,which is my current job position. I did not complete my ECSA registration process. You just have to look for any of the professional bodies that is related to your field and easy to register.
Thank you so much,God bless you.Will my critical visa application be accepted if I register with the South African Council for Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP),I have been working as a road construction Engineer for over 8 years?Already the South African Council for Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP) has approved my application but am yet to make payment.

paulavon:
You need your SAQA to apply to most of their universities for studies. You also need it when applying for jobs or professional bodies.SAQA is very important.

prodam:


Oh! I see, Thanks Boss. Mine is in transit, already got the electronic version.

Meanwhile, how long did it take you to get your professional body registration done? I am asking cos SAQA really took time and I read somewhere that IITPSA takes more time.

Thanks again.
