Obviously Lagos. They dont book appointments in Abuja. You walk in and submit. Spent max 1hr doing that last week.

Okay. Abuja will soon be crowded now too

If you like to have your passport on time,you better face Lagos because my passport has been in Abuja for 6 months without feedback.It is just an advice.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Juwohn: 8:35pm On Jul 30, 2019
Far better Sir but if they can provide you with an estimated gross, what will it cost them to do the same and provide you Net estimate. Otherwise I believe it's far better.

Qhan:
Hi Guys,

Please is R850,000 gross salary in cape town a good pay for someone earning N550K net in Nigeria?

Also, which area in cape town has high concentration of Nigerians and what is the average cost of rent per month in such areas.

Thanks.

I advise you inform your interviewers of the difficulty around scheduling a submission and getting South African visa in Nigeria. Also suggest to them if they could do an online interview for you or make a very special plea for you with the department of home affairs SA to expedite your visa processing. Alternatively, explore the possibility of applying in a neighbouring country, say Ghana.

For now, the bottlenecks of visa processing at the VFS Lagos and the delays at the high commission and embassy in Lagos and Abuja may not be suitable for your timeline.

Thanks.

They arent providing net cos they say it is ctc (cost to company), which means i will be responsible for tax and pension and medicals.

Do you have an idea of areas within cape town where a lot of Nigerian professionals are resident?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Favour999: 8:08am On Jul 31, 2019

That pay is very good and will cover for a decent life in CT. The quality of life it would afford you will be wayy better than if you were earning 1million in Nigeria.

From my experience, I found that a lot of Nigerians reside around Tableview/Parklands axis. There's a popular RCCG church there too. The rest, which are mostly UCT students, are in Rondebosch.

The above mentioned pay is juicy and good brother. I advice you take the offer.

Converting this to naira using the my recent SA transaction rate that's like earning over 1.8million naira monthly (compared to the #550k). This is a better off sir. Grab it! I advice. Net or no net. Shalom

I don't stay in Cape Town but in Johannesburg where I spend half of my time I don't want to stay near my brothers. I find it better to stay apart than being neighbors. It's funny but my preference. Just get a safe neighborhood, a few NG friends and know where the NG market is - my advice.
