Yes,it should be the same...I wrote to my faculty stating the delay in getting visa, so they requested that I sent proof of application for a visa instead of a visa together with other required documents.thats how I got to register.

okay thanks a lot. I have a student number, does it mean I have registered? cos I was told to send my passport bio page and some other certified documents before I was issued an admission letter and a student number ..

You may find the following tips useful for your questions.

1. Regular visa application fee is 32710. If you choose to do the VIP application then you pay an extra 10k meaning you have to pay 42710. If you require the services of a courier company to deliver your passport when it is ready you pay an extra 3k.

2. Those guys are not thugs. They are hustlers trying to make ends meet. That's their office. That's what they do for a living. They are there to help you.
To answer your question, yes they can make hotel and flight reservations for you at a token. You can also choose to make the reservations for yourself if you know how to.

There are some shops very close to the vfs centre. You will find a lot of people doing photocopy and all there. Enter any of those shops and tell them what you want. Don't ask any of the guys standing on the road.

3. Yes you can make reservations on the day you are submitting but the reservations must carry the dates of your intended travel and return.

4. Once you get a visa to South Africa, you can visit any state of your choice within South Africa.

5. I cannot say for sure whether VIP application makes the visa processing faster but one thing that is certain is that it will save your time with a lot of comfort.

6. You need to make your application air tight. Go with all the nec
essary documents and make sure they are genuine. If you are sponsoring yourself make sure your statement of account is healthy. Write a decent self introductory letter and get a letter of introduction from your employer. Lastly, the God factor is important too.

Kind Regards.

The 3k courier service is if it is within Lagos. I paid 4.5k for courier outside Lagos...

We are supposed to resume by February but because I am going for full research masters, its not too late for me to resume now.
And again I was able to register with the school without a visa.

This is also the same with pH.D, right?
And again, how did you register without a visa?

Viquetohr:
When were you supposed to resume? I got a denial simply because my resumption date had passed.

so sorry brother,, but which school is that and what programme?

Pweshuche:
And it was positive...I finally got my study visa after waiting for 11weeks+...Thank you Jesus.

Congrats ooo.. Thank God.. please what programme and which school?

Viquetohr:
Postgraduate Diploma. I got the admission even late. I got the admission on February, the same month lecture started.

I'm so sorry, which school is that if I may ask?

Viquetohr:
I got a response mail yesterday for passport collection. Expect it any time soon cos we both applied the same day, Feb. 21.

My study visa was denied stating that "intake for 2019 has closed already. Apply on time for admission and visa for 2020".

Meanwhile I had earlier deferred my registration to July 2019.

I am going to write a letter of appeal and I hope consideration is given.

so sorry... but what programme was yours? masters or a Ph.D?

Then not to worry u should be in Pretoria but if I were u I would try avoiding sunny side though but there are good places u can stay in Pretoria. Like I said u should always be smart at all time. No late night walking alone. And if for anything at all please consider ur safty first

Thanks boss.

Mimicle101:
Pretoria is good. But there are also some areas I personally would recommend u avoid. Places like sunny side (too many 9jas) and also very rough.

But there are equally nice places you can stay in Pretoria which are very calm and good though maybe very expensive.

But what are really ur expectations if I may ask. Maybe with that in mind we may be able to recommend to u 1 or 2 places u good stay. The other problem about Sa is that you just have to be very smart on ur movements. Walking late alone at night is a capital no irrespective the area you stay.

I dont know much places in joburg cos I never lived in joburg only the surroundings towns like 50 kilos away. So that's why am not able to recommend to you. But if you know any trusted person who can show you around then u should be good.

Meanwhile there is a group on Facebook about Nigerians in south africa and friends there about. If u know them there are some I assume maybe nice guys who u may connect ur self with who could assist and some of them stay in joburg

Thanks a lot for this info.. I really appreciate.. I am going for Studies though.. TUT Pretoria,, to be precise

Mimicle101:
Joburg Town or CBD is like lagos town.

Too many agberos (street kids) u can be robbed easily even in day light. Or stabbed with knife. Even some 9ja guys u see there u may not want to trust all of them too much cos ur fellow 9ja can also rob u. So that's why he is not recommending that side to u.

Good luck.

How is Pretoria?.. Is it a safe city?

Do you have a South African qualification already? That is have you completed any degree listed on the critical skills in a South African University?
If both answers are yes, then you can apply for PR
