Thank you.

Fruit4me:

I have multiple registered businesses which I have used for application, I hv used my former place of work (construction company) yet no way. I have tried all means. Uk agents almost emptied me because of travel, I have tried Europe too, Canada in fact I’m tired. I have prayed and fasted too lol

My advice is to try UAE resident permit route 2years visa , then you can begin to apply for other countries.

Really?
How can one go about it. Is UAE resident permit the same thing with Emirate card of a thing.

Exactly , the resident permit makes you a temporary resident for 2 years and you can use that to do some visiting to other countries, do rental and business, set up bank accounts etc. Majority use here as a link to go to other country.

Is it possible for one to process the UAE resident permit here in Nigeria or one must travel to Dubai to get it

Good Afternoon guys, I was on this thread some years back, I left after a while but I am glad that this thread have grown.
Then I used to proffer solutions to people's visas enquiries for free, a few contacted me privately, which I helped. I am a PR holder of South Africa with an ID since 2015, I qualify for a citizenship now, but since 2016, I have been in and out of South Africa, in fact the whole of 2020, I didn't enter SA. I have investment in SA, been there twice this year already in 2021, would be going there later this year to reside for a while and apply for my citizenship and with the way Nigeria is going, it is about time to take my South African citizenship more seriously.
So hit me up with any questions, I would help

Please � fellow nairalander's how long or time, do I have to stay after I get refusal, before I re-submit ?

Yòu can apply immediately as long as you have corrected the reason or reasons for denial.

Hey, some people are sending me private messages but unfortunately when I respond I get a Mailer-Daemon response

Now it just opened some weeks ago, the processing is not completely finished from Nigeria because medicals and biometrics are done only here in the UAE. But an entry permit is given, which enable you to use a 1way ticket unlike visits that requires 2ways.

NICE TO have someone like you can you tell us how easy to get their PR?

It is a long process but very doable.
The most straightforward way is using the critical skills visa.

Welcome back to the thread! �

Quick heads up:

Apparently, an applicant for naturalization is required to not have been away from the republic for more than 90 days in each of the 5 years preceding application date.
In addition, proof of permanent residence is part of the required docs for applying for naturalization. DHA only accept naturalization applications when a proof of permanent residence has been attached to the application. Processing times for proof of permanent residence via VFS has been reported as 12+ months.
Unfortunately, applications for proof of permanent residence are currently not being accepted at VFS, as DHA has indefinitely suspended all new permanent residence related applications since March 2020.

Kindly check resources to confirm any further requirements to consider in your plans.

Regards.

I know about the 90 days thingy but I can't discuss the solution here on Nairaland
As per the proof of permanent residence, I had it with my PR and it was a requirement for my ID, I doubt if the process has changed

I'd like to know, if you don't mind sharing via private message.

The copy attached to the permanent residence permit served its purpose - "verification for ID purpose". Applicants have been strictly requested at the citizenship/naturalization desk to provide proof of permanent residence obtained after becoming eligible for naturalization

Looking at it now, I see your point, but then this would easily be lifted as soon as COVID19 restrictions are lifted, not a problem at all

Have you been given now? how long before they sent your passport back?

odugbemiopeyemi:
Please I applied for a visiting visa to South Africa since January 7 till now I didn't hear any thing from them, Please is anyone gotten he or her visa recently? How long does it take for visitors visa to South Africa this time around?

He posted on the second day that he has been granted three months multiple visa after two months and three days.
I wonder why d process takes this long
Submitted march 11 and yet to get a response
I'm confused

tbaby3:

Depends on the kind of visa you currently hold

if the person holds a visiting visa, can he initiate the process for critical skills visa or academic visa immediately he enters SA?

No, you can't convert a visitor's visa to any other kind of visa within SA

tbaby3:

It is better you apply for critical skill visa from Nigeria or apply for a study visa from Nigeria .once you come with a visitor visa, you are expected to go back to your home country, though you may apply for an extension but not change of status.
