Not all schools require SAQA. I know Stellenbosch & UCT don't require SAQA. Can't tell of now

Book a reservation on https://www.flysaa.com/. Don't pay oo. Only book, print & add to the documents you're submitting. You can do so a day before you submit so it's still valid

Can u tell us the name of the school and d degree you are going to so that we can shed more light?

I applied for masters degree in UKZN and their first request was SAQA.

There is a question on the application form: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN RESTRICTED OR REFUSED ENTRY INTO SOUTH AFRICA?

I was denied a visa in may but wish to reapply.

What should be my response? Yes or No?

Could denial of visa fall into being restricted or refused entry?

I am going to a flight school not a university. Also my passport will expire 27 days after end of Intended stay. Will that be a problem seeing as my passport is still valid for over 2 years.

Same here since 15th of July and no response yet they issued to people that applied last month.
The matter tire person oo . I guess all you'll do is to go to VFs and apply for withdrawal of passport. It takes minimum of 48 hours

Your response will be appreciated.Thsnks

i have my saqa , my concern is government hospital accepted ? for d medical n radiography report ...
You mean i have to notarize my degree certificate ?
Incandescent:

Yes..any government hospital is recommended.
You have to notarize.. TYPOP & others pls help guide a fellow nairalander

I agree, the document has to be certified. Please just remember that it is not necessarily notarization. I make this clarity because it is easier to certify a document than it is to notarize it.

Essentially, what you want to do is called Certified True Copy.

Cheers and all the best.

No, you don't need to book hotel reservation. The accommodation letter should suffice.

The first part has been cleared earlier.

Cheers and all the best.

Hello,
I have followed your story, you have a valid reason. I’ll advise you email the director general of home affairs in South Africa. In May, I applied for a relative visa for my wife and after waiting for 14 weeks, there was no response. I emailed him and by the next day, my wife received a call from the embassy. By the he next week, her visa was issued. Find attached the DG’s response. Any other person with a similar story can write any of the contacts on copied. All the best

I don't know about your Flight School, but most Flight Schools in SA don't require any school certificate to apply for training as long as you meet the age requirement. So, you don't need to notarize or certify any certificate, transcript or any document for that matter, as you won't be needing them for visa application, unless you are below 18, then your birth certificate has to be.
I also applied for a study visa for flight training 4 weeks ago. I did submit my university certificate and NYSC certificate along, even though I didn't use them in the admission process. And no, they weren't notarized or certified. Cheers
