What kind of visa should someone that intends to write an international certification exam in SA apply for?

What are the steps involved in applying for the visa (including cost, documents and duration)?
Thank you

Good morning everyone here.

Please i need urgent responses.

To those who applied for student visa at lagos recently.

Please is it expedient to certify all certificates at ministry of education at Abuja?

Somebody told me to do it, so i sent my certificates to a friend in Abuja. Unfortunately, they didnt certify it because the guy does not bear same surname with me.

My 2nd question is: if that did not work, can notarizing the certificates be a good alternative, so as to avoid travelling cost and risk.

Thanks in advance for your response

1. It depends on the legal status of the person you are claiming as a relative.

2. Yes you can unless if it's started otherwise on your visa

Hi Guys,

Please how does SAQA obtain the contact address (email address) to which the contact the school for verification?

I have been on this SAQA issh for a while now.

They claimed the sent an email to the school and are excepting the school to respond.

I made contacts with some of my guys to help me check with the school, ..school said they didnt get any email from SAQA.

I asked SAQA to tell me the email address they sent the email to,...so at least it will be easy to follow up knowing who the recipient , they said they cant disclose.

Hoping that what they will be requesting from the school will most likely be my transcript, ....i requested for my transcript from the school and asked them to send to SAQA (i provided SAQA's email address). The school did,......but SAQA claimed the didnt get any mail from the school. I went back to the school again to resend, ...this time they BCC'ed me in the mail,....so i was sure the school sent it. But instead saqa climed they didnt get it again.


Now they sent me an email that my filed is closed, ...that they will only open it if i appeal and they receive a response from the school. They are insisting the school should respond to their mail.

Make them tell me the email address the sent their mail to or the content of the mail,....they said NO.

Please guys, ...is there anyway i can scale through this,.....cos they are frustrating me.

Chat them on Twitter. Get your exams and record email and tell the twitter handler to use that. Use DM. Disturb them daily through DM. They are that useless.

I had a similar issue while doing my SAQA also. I will give you two quick suggestions on how I got mine sorted out.

1. You have to be prepared to place calls through to SAQA, which means you will be prepared to spend money on airtime since it is an international call. Trust me, you don't want your calls being cut off due to airtime shortage while speaking with them on phone, because it may be a different person that will pick up the line when you redial. So kindly have enough airtime at hand. Another thing is that they might have issues hearing you and you'll also have issues getting their sentences at once, this is just due to differing ways of speaking and pronounciation, so you'll have to repeat your sentences and they will repeat theirs if you don't hear, all these will burn airtime. But they are quite receptive on phone, more than via email.

Please remember to have your SAQA number at hand while placing the call through, it will be required to trace your application.

2. Please reach out to your school and ask for the definite address through which they receive such mails. For mine, the email address on my school transcript was what SAQA used in contacting my school, guess what? It wasn't the email address the particular person that will respond to SAQA was using. I went to see the Registrar and he gave me the correct email address, which I sent via email to SAQA, they duly contacted my school via the address and the whole issue was sorted out.

I pray you get yours sorted out asap. Cheers

Hello All,

From my own observation, it's clear that the S.A consular in Lagos have disconnected all their mobile lines and completely keeps people's passports for months(4-5) without any real reason. Pls does anyone know how I can get in touch with them? My passport is going to be 4 months at the end of this month. Any advice would be appreciated and whats their twitter handle. I am most frustrated.

Planning to go from ibadan and return same day.

Is that feasible?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Nellz19(f): 2:40pm On Jan 28, 2020
Good afternoon everyone,

Please this is my first time applying for an SA visa, I tried to use an agent and the fee charged was pretty expensive so I have decided to apply my self.

Thing is do I need to book an appointment before going to the vfs office? Or I can just show up and submit my documents?

And is it sensible for me to do it myself? I have gathered statement, payslip, letter of Intro from my organization and have been to only UAE Ghana and Kenya.....

Would appreciate a response

yes it's very possible. Just be sure that you have all your documents ready. You can leave Ibadan as early as 7am. Once you get to VFS before 3pm, bc sure that you will be allowed to submit your application.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by WordFamous: 7:46pm On Jan 28, 2020
