dannie007: Thanks Ya all, Just picked up my Visa Today! 3 months Multiple Entry. Southy here I come.

kingmayor:

As much as I would have loved to ignore your post, I just have to comment so that you will not mislead others. I know that lagos has stopped accepting all applications on study permit and they will start accepting applications again by November, even abuja center has also stopped. You might want to clarify your post, if your course of study is less than 3 months you will not be issued a study permit. So, which type of visa did you apply for, and its for which institution in South Africa?

Good Day Everyone,

I was at gtbank 2 print my statement of account and request for a reference letter. I was told reference letters are only given 2 current account holders. Is this true? Please, if you've such experience pls share.

princeprincess: pls does S.A embassy in nigeria still collect repatriation fee for student visa

elume2020:
I applied for a two year study permit and was granted. I will give more details asap.

kingmayor:

Yes of course

elume2020: I know it might be difficult to believe. The first day I went to the embassy, I was turned back by the security. So I called the consular on the available landline to explain my admission, which is a research backed with a scholarship. I was asked to check in the next day with the admission letter and letter of funding for sight seeing. After perusing through, I was given the form and asked to provide all the necessary documents. After which I came back for submission and was given a date to pick up. I paid the visa processing fee of 8600, repatriation of 110000 and some fee that will be made known to u at the bank. Diamond bank at adeola odeku. Don't pay any money until u r asked to do so. As a matter of fact ur name will be sent to the bank for payment. Without ur name on the list u can't make payment. Well I must state above all I was highly favoured by God all through the application process cos It took me just under three weeks to start the application and have the study permit.

princeprincess: let me ask you this question,is it a must for someone to pay the repatriation fee even if am going for master degree

iyiolami: @ kingmayor,Please how true with Lagos embassy collecting application for study permit?please advise!

elume2020: @kingmayor, let me state I got a scholarship from SANEDI, probably that is why I was allowed to process my study permit and mind you God's favour to get through the security and the whole process. Just as u read this I have arrive joburg. Had a gautrain ride from the airport to rosebank for 173 rands. So I wish everyone the very best in their endeavour.

@kingmayor,tanx a bunch,ℓ appreciate U̶̲̥̅̊я response. u really gave all the info ℓ needed.G̶̲̥̅̊Ø̸̸̨̲̣̣D̶̲̥̅ bless
If you had married before you spouse applied for visa to travel and its included in his/her application then it will be easier, because there is a space for the name of the spouse if you are married, and the person will be asked if the spouse intend to join him/her anytime after. It also depend on the kind of permit the person has, if the person here in south africa is here for a PhD programme then they have no choice than to give the spouse the visa. You can apply at the vfs center, ask them for accompany visa form and they will give u a form to fill, then you have to attach the passport data page of your spouse, the permit, letter of invitation and sponsorship, his/her bank account statement and proof of address, your police certificate, medical certificate, radiological certificate, yellow card and application letter.
Goodluck
