Please is it possible for someone going for MSc in Sa to get full scholarship with a Cgpa of 4.1 for Msc in financial risk management?

You can get full scholarship in university of Kwazulu-natal or Durban university of Technology not because of Your CGPA but if you are ready to do your masters by RESEARCH. Get your transcripts, Bsc certificate, your SAQA and your Research proposal. Thanks.

My documents are almost complete I'll be going to the embassy on Tuesday. I'm I supposed to get the form at the embassy? The I got 2 different kinds of forms on the web. Please which 1 of them is the right 1

Hello bros, don't let anybody confused you about the form both forms are right one. You can use any one you like. The first one is old form while the second one is updated form. Thanks.

Please I have one question. I used my last SA visa in November and it is valid till 26th January. However, I need to travel to SA on 23rd Jan and return 31th Jan. Do I need a new visa or is the current one still valid for the trip?

Hello Tokyobull see these two statements valid till 26th and now valid still 3rd Feb. Well if you overstasy you will pay fine. Thanks

TokyoBulls:

Just a follow up to this question/answer. I applied for visit visa and VFS told me I do not need a new visa for this travel. I travelled yesterday and am now in Johannesburg. The visa is valid as long as you are not staying for more days than initially approved and you enter before expiration. Thanks @femiaction for your assistance.

How many days you got from immigration at airport? Because your visa will expire on 26th January. If you stay beyond your valid visa you will pay for overstasy. Thanks

@staggerlee, thanks bro.
@femiaction, I laughed wen u were commending someone's contribution on the forum. I ask u, how should u be commended? I'v seen u taking ur time to respond conscientiously to any question asked on this forum. Even wen the enquirer seemed persistent in his questions. You know it almost caused us some breach then. Thank u very much. There is this old saying that whoever that takes his time to wet another man's garden, it is God that wets his own garden for him. More grease,more grace.

Amen. We are expecting you and your family in South Africa by February 2016.

Hello house. I think I'm getn fed up wit ds issue of visa. As I posted here in december dat I was denied study visa bcs I went to vfs,I saw someone 2day at d embassy who came from Vfs to certify his visa for his wife's accompanying visa. He told me that he did his PhD visa at d same vsf under visitors permit on thursday last week,and by monday this week he was called to come pick up his visa and was given multiple entry. Same vfs that said they don't process study permit.
That apart, I was told at d embassy 2 weeks ago that I can add my two kids to my wife's study permit application at d embassy. On getting there 2day to submit my wife's application, they told her she has 2 options to add her kids:
1. Either as accompanying at the vfs. But in this case, the kids will not be able to attend school in SA.
2. Or to look for school for them and apply for study permit for them at d embassy.
For both options,we would have to wait for d outcome of our individual applications b4 this can be done. Presently, we don't have the time in our hands. Both of us should have resumed in our school but due to all these ambiguities.we travel to lagos almost every week,wasting money and risking lives bcs of incoherent information.
Please who can tell us the best way to go about this bcs we are planning to go again to lagos next week for d kids? Thanks.

My brother you don't have any problem but you are creating problems for yourself. I told you similar thing, get your study permit from embassy 1st then you will apply for your kids accompany visa at vsf. Simple truth. Thanks

Hello Segzy, get your study permit 1st. Then after six months you invite her to join you. Mind you, she is not your wife as u said. So u don't have marriage certificate.

Pls I need someone to gide me step by step on the SAQA and professional body registration thing, how do I go about it?
I'm a microbiology graduate. what professional body can I register with and how do I go about the registration?

And for SAQA do I need to include my primary and senior school leaving certificate, with my transcript and university certificate for submission? And do I send all together or separately? And will they all be scanned copies?

What is the fastest way for submission as I'm in Lagos now..online or by courier?..and if by courier, who do I address it to?
Thanks

Hello,concerning the SAQA u need your wace certificate, Bsc certificate and your transcripts. You will take the photocopy of all to high court for certified true copy (CTC). I will advise you to use courier service. You will send all in one envelope to SAQA physical office. Mind you SAQA is 950 rands for your first certificate which is wace then 520 rands for your Bcs then if you have masters is another 520 rands. Concerning the critical skills check this link www.dha.gov.za/index.php/immigration-services/scarce-skills-work-permits . thanks

Happy Sunday great men in the house, thanks for the help so far. i work at the moment but I dont plan to submit a letter of introduction from my employer as it might delay my application- do I still need to state where I work on my application for a study visa since I am planning to use a sponsor (letter and statement of acc) Also is it imperative to put a copy of my marriage certificate? If yes, do I need to also get it notarised? Kindly help!

Hello guy, you don't need any letter from your employer when u have sponsor. Just leave the space ie you are not working. You have to put your marriage certificate if you are married. Yes you have to notarized it. Thanks

stevetop:


Thanks for the all the responses. Is it adviceable that I do my medicals at a private hospital or govt hospital? I also dont have an idea of the things to include in the letter of introduction to the embassy. Thanks for the help- getting free help these days is almost a mirage. Cheers!

Good morning, I will advise you to do you medical at government hospital. Concerning the introduction letter, let them know your status married or not, where you reside, your work, let them your purpose of going to South Africa. If it is study or visiting give them the details of your host. Hope this will help. Please others add to this. Thanks Happy Sunday
