This is a well put together thought. I suggest you transfer if you can. Consider Cameroon and Togo. Another option for those that has the principal applicants in sane countries (especially Europe, even South Africa), is to transfer their file, get IL, and transfer it back to Lagos. Don't transfer back till you receive IL. This is what people are doing. Don't sleep on it. Best wishes to everyone.

The IV scheduling tool that shows they are attending to cc of April, 2023 is wrong! I'm in March ending of 2023 and I also know another person with a case complete on 28th of March, 2023, yet neither her nor me has been scheduled for interview! So, who are the ghosts they are scheduling?
At this stage, I can't transfer my case to anywhere because it's going to set me back if I do.

You welcome always. This is good, then proceed for a one way and ensure to have physical documents to show the profilers/immigration on your departure day; just incase need arises.

All the best.

Buy a fully refundable ticket on Qatar airways.

Hello, if you are holding a student visa. You can book one way.

However, check the conditions stated on the visa.

If the condition of your visa doesn't require a return ticket, you are good to go but be ready to contest it with the overzealous, "I sabi pass everybody" custom officers at both MMIA and ORThabo.

Africankel:
Book return and cancel when you enter the country. It is important to show your intention to return to your country after your studies - and a return ticket is the only way to prove that.

Africankel:
KQ has longer FLY time. They'll first take you to East Africa before heading South. TAAG will take you South three hours from Lagos, layover for whatever time and fly you to SA for another 2 and half or 3 hours.

So, it's up to you to choose.

Since your wife hold a visitor visa, return ticket is highly mandatory

Good evening everyone.

I just received a message from VFS that my visa application (study) is ready for collection. I applied on the 27th March. I am a bit worried by the swiftness of the entire process compared to the delay which most people have experienced.

Is this normal please??

Hugoboi:
Mine will be 2 months by Friday.

Yes, certified copies are accepted for most long-term visa applications, but not PR permit applications. However, original PCCs become invalid once it's past 6 months since issued

Go to hilton.com and select Cape Town. Put in your dates it will show your availabile hotels in Cape Town. Select DoubleTree by Hilton and book your room. When it gets to the payment page, put in any Master Card (preferably one that is linked to an account where you don't have money or you don't use]. Once done your reservation will be immediately be confirmed and sent to your mail. Print out reservation from your email and submit with your application.

MAKE SURE YOU CANCEL the reservation before the arrival date or you will get billed. If you are applying at Port Harcourt VFS at Vineyard, ask of Boma. He works there and can do it for you along with flight reservation for a token.



Thank you very much for this. I am actually applying to Bloemfontein. This information is very useful. If I am not able to do it, I will find the Boma when I get there.God bless
