i taught VFS is only for short term visitors

Go and apply for a visitors visa. Any course which is less than three months does not reqiure a study permit.

Nnaaiirra: TYPOP, thank you once again, you've been very helpful.

—I've decided to apply for a short course (10 weeks) at a university in Cape Town—What sorta of visa (e. g. Tourist, Study permit, etc...) may I apply for?

—Can I as well lodge over N100,000+ into my account before submitting it along my sister's?—As I've stated in one of my previous posts, I current have N10k+ only in my account.

I'm sorry about the multicolored posts, especially the "Lawn green". #keepingItSimple.

hey all, as my visa stated 'enter on or before July 10' which means expires by 10th. I want to utilize the visa the second time b4 it expires. However i plan traveling on 8th to arrive s.a 9th..since expiring on 10th(am i good to go that way?

Pls how can i apply to any school in south africa. Any one to help me out. Tanks 4 ur concern

google is your friend bros

hi collinsfbi and others who understands dis issue more. My visa expires on the 10th july, however i plan my departure frm lagos for 8th july and return 15th july(5days after my visa expires. I wish to know if its alright or must my return date frm s.a be no later than 10th july visa expiry? I think since it is indicated on d visa to enter on or b4 10th july, i should have no problem since on entry i get 30days maximum of stay which means i can still remain in S.A until 9th August maximum ...pls let me knw ASAP as i hope to book my ticket in dis manner tomorow. Thanx

To let you know, I also got all the information i needed to make a successful application for my study permit here in nigeria through this forum. Various discussions and updates on this thread ministers invaluable help to prospective applicants. I just submitted my application last week wednesday at abuja and I gave you all the info necessary to apply. Abuja centre accepts applications 11am - 12pm monday to wednesdays and they will stop accepting study permit applications by next month ending, so its advisable for you to hurry with what you want to do in order not to lose out.

Yes, you can get the forms at the nearest south african high commission close to you, lagos or abuja. then fill and submit at abuja. The forms are also available on the internet but there might be slight variation compared with the one that will be given to you at the high commission.

please house, i dont understand south africa consulars again o. My friend was denied at abuja in month of may ;reason for denial 'INVALID HOTEL BOOKING'. He reapplied again afta 2wks of denial, again he was refused. Reason is 'RECENTLY DENIED'. Wat do they mean as long as he was adviced to reapply if he wishes with all required documents. Do they now expect denied applicants to wait for at least 6 months now just lyk u.s and u.k

I need SA visa would like to know what i needed in doing this and how much it will cost since this is my first time. am only visiting for a week during my vacation.

Thanks

surecan: thank you,can one do the medical in any government hospital ,did you submit directly to the embassy or vfs

kingmayor: Yes, u can do the medicals at any recognized government hospital. Long term visas, like study permits are applied for directly at the embassy.

As @Kingmayor said, you can do your medicals ar any recognized government hospital. However, make sure it's not a specialized hospital like National Orthopaedic Hospital (Igbobi) or Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba. Once the place has a department of FAMILY MEDICINE, you are good to go.

STENACO: Go and apply for a visitors visa. Any course which is less than three months does not reqiure a study permit.

As @STENACO has stated above, if you are staying for less than 3 months, you will not need the study visa. However, you need to confirm that you will be allowed to register for a course with a Tourist's Permit.


For your other question, yes. If you can boost up your account, it's a plus. Shows you are trying to make contigency funds available to yourself.

Cheers.

surecan:

thanks for your reply,i have been looking for their website where i can download the application form,medical form and x ray form,pls direct me how to get it,i hope i can just go to the embassy and apply not by appointment

@Surecan, what you are applying for determines where you get your form. If you are applying at the High Commission, get your form there cos it's slightly different. Application at VFS is a different process. If you are applying there, go to their website.

ayoaces: @lahner, I applied on that same day in Abuja but I got a call yesterday to come and pay repatriation fees before 12th of july so na there I dey o. I still dey think am.

If you have the money.. You can go ahead with the payment.. I think they gave you enough time coz deadline for repatriation payment don't exceed two - three days.. Your visa will be granted as soon as the payment is confirmed.. And your receipt will be enclosed with your visa. The money will be returned to you after you return to your home country.

ekundayomi: south africa,,, my fellow brothers i have arrived in the city of pretoria.....

Welcome bro.. Just be careful and stay away from southy girls
