Everything depends on the visa officer. But the thing is that if you do not want unnecessary scrutiny on your visa application, it is good to avoid schools with large fees without funding.

STUDY PERMIT PACK/DOCUMENTS USED;

1. Application Form (DHA - 1738) fully completed in black ink only

2. Two identical passport size (35mm widthx45mm height) photographs on white background showing the
complete face (took the passport photographs at N1,000 the same day of my study visa submission, and with the photographer the VFS center, just to make sure it is done with the accepted format).

3. A valid passport

4. Copy of passport data page (2 colored copies).

5. Self-introduction letter with my physical address and phone number (made it one page).
Also included my current job and why I need to go for a Masters, and specifically why the course (Industrial Engineering) and school (DUT) and my plans after studies. I stated that in addition to the 100% tuition waiver received from my intending school, I would be supporting my living cost from my employment savings. I also explained why I am using two accounts statements, and while one is 6 months instead of the statutory 3 months.

6. Introduction/Recommendation letter from my employer, signed with contact details, (with physical
address and phone numbers).
Included was just my date of employment, role, and awareness of the fact that I am planning to leave for studies.

7. Seven days verifiable hotel reservation/bookings done directly with:
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS DURBAN - UMHLANGA
https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/reservation
(free without charges)

8. Copy of international traveling certificate (yellow fever card) duly and fully completed by a health
practitioner. Spent roughly N5,000 to get them together and I did the vaccination too.

9. Proof of financial status (bank statement from salary account-6 months and 3 months from another
personal account) (Original, Stamped & Signed by the bank authority)

My salary account had around N5,000 while the other had over a N1million (bulk of it was deposited the same day I printed the statement of account, this is not advisable though).

The reason I used the 6 months is due to the nature of my work, where I had to work for 3 months paid, and 3 months no work no pay. The 3 months unpaid fell within the point of visa application, so I had to get up to 6 months statement to validate my claims of employment.

10. Non-Refundable Visa Fee of around N60,000 (inclusive of service charge), this is high since I submitted my application in Port Harcourt.

11. Booked Verifiable Flight (free without charges). Kenya Airways from Lagos to Durban.

12. Police Clearance (spent around N25,000), since I did not do it in Lagos.

13. Medical Report spent around N7,000 for the medical test, with a government hospital gave me a hospital report, with their letter-head and still endorsed the medical report document I printed from the visa application website.

After doing the test, the hospital gave me a hospital report, with their letterhead, and still endorsed the radiological report document I printed from the visa application website.

15. An official letter confirming provisional acceptance at Durban University of Technology (DUT) and the duration of the course.
Included in this letter is 100% tuition waiver.

16. Letter of Undertaking from DUT, provided by Department of International Education & Partnership

17. Proof of annual medical cover payment from momentum health insurance (paid R5460, roughly around
N165,000 when I paid because I made the payment at the black market price).

paying the R5460)

OdogwuEkeke:
Where do I start from, new here I am seeing that all forms of visas are discussed here. Students, tourists, reunion, work, etc.

I am more interested in the student visa.

Ejoseblazer:
You're welcome, I appreciate it. The 100% tuition waiver is a form of scholarship given to admitted full Research Postgraduate Students at DUT.

Oga mi sir. March 19th. Second Applicant . No NSE request. Submitted 2 MBS and 1 IELTS.

Nah Queue I dey o. IRCC done gimme yellow card to stop sending mail.

sapphiremystic:
Yes, it's a multiple entry visa

Soraco57:
thanks for response, we apply for refund, out of 258k they gave us 60k as refund, and please what’s cx

Soraco57:
Good afternoon everyone, we are currently in a mess my sister apply for sa visa from Ghana and she was granted. We bought a ticket through wakanow on Ethiopian airlines but to my surprise they said they can’t carry her because the visa was issued in Ghana so they don’t carry her to Cape Town. We were told to buy Kenya airlines to carry her go Cape Town that is only Kenya can carry her as sa airlines is not coming to the country currently. I need advise as anyone experienced such before.

DewaleGraphic:
It didn't happen by accident, both parties decide to strip naked and have sexual intercourse... Knowing full well she was getting married soon... Carry that list and return it and add a little details of what/who their daughter is and why you've declined....
You can check if she has a younger sister...na wife you dey find right

Blurpy:
Can you share the name of the academy so I can research on it please

tannystacey:
1. On paper yes, in reality d best job you'll get might be a tutor or pg assistant if u are coming for post grad studies. Except you have exceptional skills (eg IT skills) and you can quickly find a side hustle on the side. Rarely happens, but it happened for a few people.

2. Work permit is more difficult these days, but PR maybe possible especially if you graduate from critical skills area. Find out that one.

3. Read that gazette. Properly. A lot of things are on paper but the reality on ground is different especially now. There is a high level of unemployment in SA now than ever. Pple are scrambling to get jobs.

4. Depends on the school. Most will allow part payment for at least a year. Do your research.

5. I've lived in both cities. Durban is cheap but has limited opportunities. Cpt is expensive but you can offset that cost if you have a good job or source of income. Cpt is a beautiful tourist city and there's more diversity of pple, and well more opportunities.

My 2 cents.

DrOA:
The requirements include minimum of R3000 in your bank statement while making application for the critical skills

DrOA:
Yes, it allows you to work 20 hours a week but it's difficult to get job outside your university environment. So, it's only the university that can engage you.

DrOA:
Getting a job with a study permit is difficult in SA. But within the university you are studying, you can be given jobs as a tutor or marker or whatever. 2. Payment of tuition is not expected in full. You can always pay part. 3. Durban and Cape town are both good location. However, Cape town is more expensive than Durban. 4. After the completion of your study, you can always apply for critical skills visa without leaving SA. And from there to PR.
This is the process I followed.
