Remember also if u get a job, u must report back to home affairs with your employment letter that is a condition for critical skills

Okay

staggerlee:
I didn't know u could study with one

My brother na God ooo. Even I don't know how I registered because people said a lot of things about it. But it was stated in one letter that I got from home affairs that I can only study part-time.

staggerlee:
Things are a bit harder with critical skills as compared to when its exceptional skills. It is expected that within a year of your critical skills you are gainfully employed, after the employment yo can apply for PR. You will @ one point, might need publications for your PR applications but under critical skills am not sure its compulsory. What is more compulsory is letter from a body and work references.

BTW, what visa are u using to study?

critical skills work permit.

staggerlee:
Its a long long process but its possible. During my time, I did masters in electrical engineering and started my PHD, I applied for exceptional work permit. I got a letter from my supervisor plus my publications and some other things and I applied, thankfully I got it. With exceptional skills visa you can apply for a Permanent Residence Permit and I got in.
But now you have to get a Critical work visa which u need to join a professional body and the body gives u a letter with that letter you take other docs like publications and so on you apply for the critical skills. With critical skills, after 1 year u can apply for PR. Or wait till you get a PHD and apply for PR.
Mind u, your chances of getting all these visas depends on course of study. Your best bet is Sceience Tech Engineering or Medicine with a minimum of Masters degree

Hello brother. Thanks for your assistance in this forum. Sir i have critical skill work permit which i got from nigeria. I am currently doing my masters in mechanical engineering@ ukzn and I don't have any publication yet then I want to apply for my PR.

Am going for thesis based, MSc financial and risk management!! I guess that's not research based.

Did you mean course/class work? If you are going to receive lectures. Then there is no scholarship for course work. You have to pay for your tuition fee. If it is Research then you can get full scholarship in the universities mentioned above. Thanks

Royat1:
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

meagainstdem:
@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.

Diamond1960:

Brother why do you want to create problem for yourself? One sponsor bank account is enough for your study permit. He sure that the money in that account is over 3m. Thanks
