Please, after submitting an application for study permit, do you wait until you hear from Lagos office or you keep check at the office? Would there be any e-mail or SMS regarding your application process stage? Thanks

@tosol you don't wait to hear from them cos you'll never hear from them. I guess you were given a time to check bck. Like in my own case, I was told to come back in a month's time. I submitted on the 5th of this month at their abuja office.
You'll just need to be patient.
Cheers.

Yours is a good case. Not everyone will be that lucky. 6 days is a really quick one for study permit. In some cases, it may take up to 6 weeks. We should all hope for the best but then, don't say @iyiolami got his own in 6 days, so should I. If yours does not come out in 6 days, things are still in order.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by adewumigloria(f): 9:17am On Nov 29, 2013
Really? That's very fast o. I guess the abuja office is different. I was asked to check bck in a month's time. I even even called yesterday and they said I should call back in 2 weeks time. But that's not fair. I'm supposed to have resumed september but they kept delaying.

Yes, anyone who is on visiting visa can apply for study permit here once you get admitted

Hello Please, I wish to know if the bank statement a relative of thesame surname gave me is strong enough to present for study permit without additional letter to indicate his readiness to sponsor. Pls, can I go ahead with jst his bank statement with no additional letter?

This issue is my DOB. I tried changing my DOB at the immigration it has taken so long, can I attach an affidavit and my birth certificate to clarify the mistake?

I would think you can still use it. Now, that's my opinion, no document nor evidence to support my claim.

Cheers and all the best.

Your question is not clear. I will attempt to answer as I understand. Please be a bit clearer next time. I assume you ask two questions, 1 about airline reservation and 2 about medical report.

1. Go to Arik website, choose your return ticket date, proceed to confirm the dates, input your details and then when you get to the page on payment, choose "book on hold". It will give you a reference number and a few hours to go and pay. This is what you print and take to the embassy. You don't need to pay for it.

2. Medical report. You need to have gotten the form from the embassy. Take this to a GOVERNMENT hospital and let a doctor fill it in for you. Note that it must be stamped.

Cheers and all the best.

You need both a letter from him indicating he will sponsor you and a photocopy of his ID card. His bank statement with the same surname only won't do the job.

Cheers and all the best.

Very possible but if you are doing that, make sure all your docs are in order before leaving naija and pay your repatriation fee of 110k in naija else you will be liable to pay 7k rand (140k) in SA. But if you will take my advice, i will tell you to get it in naija to avoid additional payment such as paying immigration lawyer to secure such for you most especially if you have incomplete docs.

How long does this process take in S.A to get a study permit.. Besides my DOB on my passport is not accurate, so I attached my birth certificate and an affidavit.

Welcome to the forum. You can ask any questions you want to ask. Only try and read previous posts to avoid repetitions. I didn't answer the question because I had no answers to the question, not because it couldn't be asked.

Hi everyone, please is a second time traveler required to pay repatriation fees?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 1:17pm On Dec 05, 2013
ayoaces: Hi everyone, please is a second time traveler required to pay repatriation fees?

How do you mean? Is it like you are just going to apply for Visa? If yes, did you collect your initial repatriation fees after you came back the first time? If also yes, you may/may not have to pay the repatriation fees. It will depend on the prerogative of the consular officer that attends to you. But prepare to pay.

If by second time traveller you mean you've not exhausted the visa you had in the first place, then, since you are not going to the embassy for Visa, you don't need to pay the fee.
