Apparently I've been offered accommodation since december. Am so happy. My response is late but I hope am still able to get in because I'm submitting my visa application next tuesday and I won't be able to resume before 4th February (I'm supposed to get my keys by 4th)
Congratulations!

Do you have your accommodation offer letter? To keep your place, you need to sign, scan and email the acceptance letter within 21 days of receiving the accommodation offer. Don't forget to notify them (preferably in a separate email) that you have been granted an extension for registration so they should do same with the residence. Otherwise you lose your place to someone on waiting list because student residence opens on 2nd February and close on 4th.

Good luck...

You know officially, I'm supposed to pay ZAR850 as confirmation fee for Scul residence but i'll be getting an appartment outside instead so I made an arrangement with the dept instead..

But dis evening sumone was like dis doesnt cover so decided to post it here for advise before going to face rejection at the Embassy
Over to the house gurus...
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Cypha8: 12:41am On Jan 15, 2015
Kentrasso:
I indicated but I think I wasn't given because I didn't accept the acceptance offer until late December.
They probably thought I wasn't coming again.

Does this mean I still have a chance
If you didn't receive any notification, email them to confirm the status of your application... res@uct.ac.za

Don't forget to quote your student number.

Kentrasso:
Thanks.

I will go first and see the houses before i pay.
I have sent mail to int office. Is it still possible to get school hostel? Applications ended in sept last year
No it's highly unlikely to get school accommodation now unless you're on waiting list. Did you indicate in your online application that you're interested in school accommodation? I know that they allocated residence for new students last month.

Hi. I've been having issues with accommodation. I need an affordable place as a post grad student of UCT. I.ve checked nearly all the advert agencies can't find any less than 2000 rand.
Madam a decent off campus accommodation in cape town (UCT environs) will cost you at least 3,500 rand.

As @samtol suggested, contact UCT International Office.

TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Cypha8:
I guess its at this point that I want to just stay back in Nigeria and forget about travelling. It's so stressful

I'm just lucky that UCT is cooperative. I've been given an extension on my registration deadline so I can resume anytime. My lectures don't start till june.

On the visa issue.
1. I've been processing the medical report since tuesday. After all the tests at lasuth which I collected the next day, they told me I need treatment for something they noticed in my result before they can sign the form.

I will take the treatment oh. And go back. No wahala

2. I was not immunised at the airport. They just gave me yellow card with my name on it saying the workers that would inject me were on strike. I paid 1k.

3. Momentum health insurance gave me certificate for 11 months cover after I payed for 12. I'm still expecting a response to my complaint.

one day one day I will submit this application
UCT require 11 months for registration purposes, February to December. For study permit, you can ask UCT international office to give you a letter stating this. Shouldn't take them more than 1 working day. Unless Momentum ammend your certificate before you apply.

TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Cypha8: 7:42am On Dec 25, 2014
You have your answer from Akeem & Sam. I will add that you must inform UCT international office of your situation. Tell them you may not be able to meet up with the registration deadline so they should give you an extension. If you don't inform them, you're on your own.

You can contact the following people at UCT International Office...
Ms Nosizwe Mgudlwa at nosizwe.mgudlwa@uct.ac.za (on holiday till 2nd January)
Ms Cornelia Williams at Cornelia.Williams@uct.ac.za

International Office can also be contacted at +27 21 650 2822; int-iapo@uct.ac.za

For Momentum Health Insurance, go the the link below and follow the instructions:

Congratulations on the admission... I suggest you waste no further time in gathering all required documentation listed on the visa application form. That's if you're interested in going to UCT in February.

Best wishes...



preshuzpearl:
I have been reading recent comments and I love the responses I see.

Pls can somebody assist in guiding me. I received an admission to study at UCT masters level. This came in September but i had also applied to two other courses in different places and was waiting because I preferred them to the one I was given.

Just yesterday the two of them replied me that my application was not successful. So I have no option than to take the one given to me earlier.

I will be sending the declaration letter to them today but i have a few concerns.
1. Would the school think it is late that I am replying them almost three months later and withdraw their admission?
2. Can I still get a study visa before end of January? Resumption is in 6th February.
3. My dad knows someone who does Visitor's permitbfor his company. Does this count in getting my study permit faster?
4. How do I get medical insurance cover? I don't know anything about it.
5. I didnt need SAQA in getting the admission. Will it be necessary in securing the VISA?
6. The police clearance. Is it compulsory? How do I go about it?
7. How much would I need for the processing and flight? Which flight is most affordable and when is the best time to leave?

Thanks

The vhs office in Abuja where I live is closed for this year. It will be next year before I can submit my application

Thanks. I finally received the fee invoice.

However, I noticed that d school accommodation is on the high side. Can i use an alternative form of accommodation for my study permit application (i.e Off campus residence). If yes, i would like the house to help with the e-mail or contact info of any registered housing agents in Jo'burg?

Thank you.
Contact Wits international office, they should be able to provide assistance with off campus accommodation. ask them to issue a letter stating this. That's what I used for my application.

Hi guys,

Pls anyone in Wits University or prospective postgraduate student can help out on this.

I have tried obtaining a fee invoice from d school detailing tuition fees, course fees e.t.c all to no avail. To this end, i have sent mails to both the faculty and Int'l office after being unable to reach them on phone yet i got no response.

I intend submitting my application for study visa next week and it won't make sense if i don't pay any portion of my tuition fees & other related costs before submission.

I will appreciate your contributions.
This is strange. Or maybe they don't know the estimated fees for 2015 yet? But why do you need to pay any fees? Is it a requirement for study permit application? I didn't see anything like that on the checklist. If you have all your supporting documents, go ahead and lodge your study permit application. I did mine two days ago.

Search for Momentum Health on google and it will take you to their web page. Thereafter, you can go to the home page and from there you will get further directions. I paid a little above N65,000.00 and it was charged to my debit card.
Luck you. I tried using credit card today, I got confirmation on the online payment page, but when I switched back to Momentum page, nothing happened. Didn't get a bank notification either. I don't want to do the online payment thing twice. Please any idea of other alternative ways to pay? This is the last bit remaining before applying for study permit...
