use the crs tool to determine if she needs to evaluate or not. If they have enough points without it good to go(her bsc is worth 8 points if evaluated).

Please how do I start the application process... I have my WES evaluated already.

Wow..thank you so much. What other documents do I need to certify at the ministry of abuja. I'm a permanent resident in SA & I want my wife & child to join me soonest

None at the Ministry of Foreign affairs.

But since you are a permanent residence in SA u need to certify your PR.... I was in Nigeria when I applied for my child's relative permit, so I had to go down to the SA embassy to certify. But my husband certified his in SA cos he was there during the period of application.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your contributions so far.

I'm looking to apply for my child's visa to SA via relative's visa. I'd like to inquire from those that have done it, if they authenticated their child's original birth certificate or the copy of it.

Also, do I need to authenticate our marriage certificate because my wife is also applying for a spousal visa.

Its very urgent.

Thanks in advance

@Teefab

You need to authenticate your child's birth certificate at the Ministry of Foreign affairs in Abuja. Take photocopies as well as the original of the birth certificate along. Both can be authenticated, remember you will be submitting photocopy for the application.

Yes, you need to authenticate the marriage certificate too.

All the best.

Hi Blissfulchild1. Pls,is it only my birth certificate I will certify or mine and relative person birth certificate will certify? Pls do guide me.....

Also,do you help someone to certify at Abuja?

Certify all if you can. No I don't help people to certify. I went there to certify mine too.

Teefab:


Yes i know it's for your kids, you said that in your previous post.
The birth Certificate is also for my daughter( 4month old) not mine. I was issued Visa but she wasn't .
REASON FOR REFUSAL.......""Birth certificate lacks credibility""
Spoke to a lawyer friend at the Ministry of Justice Abuja and that was how I got to know that it can only be done at the FCT Abuja

You are so on point. It can only be done in Abuja. I mentioned that earlier too.

Damimubo:
Plz does anyone knows if the ministry of foreign affairs has an office in Ibadan or Abeokuta, secondly am I to certify my husband data page as well as our marriage certificate too. Thanks ur quick response will be appreciated.

Only at Abuja. Yes you will certify your marriage certificate there too.

Teefab:


Thanks alot for this information, really appreciate.
Pls did u appeal the decision or applied again? And how long did it take?And did u submit in Lag or Abj?

Also, can i have someone help me visit the ministry in Abuja as I am not in Abj?
Hope its something that can be done in just a few hours?

I re applied. It took 5 months before we got a reply and granted visa. from end January to first week in June.

Yes someone can go on your behalf with the documents. Tho I really think you need to press some buttons oo.

Hi @blissfulchild,
Was the bank statement couriered or emailed?
Was it the bank stamped or online stamped statement?
And was it certified?

It was emailed. Yes, certified and bank stamped.

Lukgaf:
Sorry for that bro. How much is required per head to be in a statement of account for accompany/relative visa

Relative Visa was eventually granted June, after resubmitting with authenticated birth certificate.

I really can't say anything about the amount in ones account, my hubby sent us his SA bank account statement.

[quote author=Damimubo post=80736867]am in Ibadan plz can I certify mine at the high court?[/quot

No you can't. You need to go to Ministry of Foreign affairs to authenticate it.

Hello everyone
....Applied On the 11th of July at the Lagos VFS for a visitors visa for my 3 months old daughter and myself.Got a mail and message that it's ready for pick up yesterday 25th (10working days I total) Been to SA thrice.Got the visa but my baby wasn't given.
Reason .....that my husband's data page wasn't motorized
......
And that her birth certificate lacks credibility (She was born in a private hospital, but we obtained the government birth certificate when processing her passport, I submitted that and certified it as well)

This is what was written below the reasons given.......
You may within 10 working days frm receipt of the notification make written representation to the south African Consulate General Lagos via VFS,visa Application center Lagos

Pls house as per it's an authorized directives from the consulate itself, I wanna asked if i will still need to book an appointment

And secondly, thinking of including all pictures from my Preggo day to delievery day till date.

Please advice ooo and can someone submit all this on my behalf as I Don't reside in Lagos.

Will greatly appreciate your response. Thanks

Your child's birth certificate must be certified at the Ministry of foreign affairs in Abuja. My daughter's visa was denied in January for the same reason of her birth certificate lacking credibility. Had to authenticate it first at the Ministry of Foreign affairs before resubmitting it. Relative Visa it was tho.

Nothing yet, since 18th of March. It's worrisome but the option of withdrawal is not an option. Just keep hope alive. [/quote



Yes I will say just keep hope alive. My daughter submitted since January 23( relative visa tho) , we got the visa June 10... That's like 6 month. Just keep hoping for the best soon. Thanks.
