I have d application form for visa to temporarily sojourn in d republic tagged DHA-1738 consisting of 20 pages. Is this d study visa form and are all d 20 pages to be submitted? Item 6 of d form has maintenance /Deportation section. Under it are available funds and valid return or onward ticket no section. Do i really need to fill this section? I visited my Bank yesterday (GTB) and I was told to go make whatever payment with my ATM card. How real is this?

Compliment of the season brother, that section 6 I just wrote 800k naira equivalent to rand. Payment for what? You don't need to go any bank.just write amount that available in rands equivalent.

No problem, same here too. May God bless our hustle. But yet to get over d costly mistake I made about filling my visa application at d wrong place. My prayer is that by the time I re-apply in january it will meet up with my early february resumption. By the way,someone was even suggesting I go to Abuja bcs it's easy up there than lagos but takes longer(up to 6 wks). My fear in that is will it come out b4 resumption. I'm just confused!
Sir don't let anybody confuse you. I was a victim of this when I want to applied for my critical skills work permit. I went to Abuja 2 times without any successful outcome. Even one guy that come from Lagos for study permit, the lady told him to go back to Lagos and submit it there. I submitted my application in Lagos and they told me after 6 weeks, to my surprise after 4day they called me from the embassy and when i got there they asked me about my Engineering council of South Africa certificate because I submitted a letter confirming my registration. God really showed me favour on that morning my wife sent the tracking number of the certificate to me that the certificate was ready for collection at post office. 3 days later I got my work permit. Sir it was God's favour. By January go and submit your application in Lagos and God will show you favour. Lastly brother be prayerful.

@ femiaction, u absolutely got me wrong. I was throwing my mind open to everyone,not u in any way. That is why I don't like commenting on social media like this. About 2 or 3 of us posted in a row and u happened to be d only one responding to us. It's just like when a teacher is asking question in d class and only one student keeps answering. If d teacher asks why it's only a student answering his question, would it get d student angry? Rather to me, it's just a way of challenging other students to live up. That's all. So I don't think I deserve to be hammered that deep by u, neither do I want this dragged any further and ultimately derail d thread. Before I know it now, someone will come and bash me for accusing all of not responding to questions except u. That's humans we are!

Brother i am sorry , don't be angry with me. We are here to help each other in this forum. I posted what I know and experiences since I came to Republic about SAQA. I went for several interviews both government and private company. The first they asked was my SAQA and my Engineering council of South Africa certificate because they want to know my Qualifications equivalent to the SA Qualifications. Then secondly their government is making money from foreigners.

He wanted to use an agent to lodge his application but I told him he shouldn't waste his money on the so call agent, that I have a forum that I can consult to assist. I know with this forum we will be surely guided properly.
So house, what are the necessary documents to file in and where is the application centre? The one I know is at billings way close to Oregun but I don't know if they have move from there. Please I need enlightenment.

Is Femiaction d only person on this forum? Why is he d only one responding to questions. Just as omidoyinJoshua pointed out, some schools like UCT has direct link wit saqa which they use in evaluating documents before admitting students. Therefore,they don't request for saqa as part of supporting docs for offering admission. Has anybody had this experience of not submitting saqa to d embassy and granted visa? Let d person share wit us pls.
Hey meanaingstdem try to read and understand post very well before making any comments. Is it a crime to response to a post? Then mind you I am here not for competitions. They were asking about SAQA for study permit. I just advice them that they will need saqa if you want to work in SA then Most university in Durban will need saqa certificate for admission. I was trained by people here in this forum before I got my critical skills work and my wife PhD study permit I did it by myself with help of God and good people in this forum like Samtol4, shine777 , yinksob002, sultan003 PYR8TE, CHEMASHIE and other. Then lastly its a forum what is your contribution? when you see fault in someone that is use his precious time to reply post here. It's free world my brother you can make post anything you know about SAQA, admission and permit here. Don't make reference to anybody. try to post what you know. Thanks

Hello House, a friend of mine was at the Home Affairs office to apply for study permit, he was cleared on Tuesday and was told to make payment on Wednesday and he submitted on Thursday without SAQA, (because his school never requested for SAQA in the first place) he's now quite afraid if his application won't be denied because of this. Please what's the house's view
Mr Joshua where is home affairs in Nigeria. They have embassy in Lagos and Abuja. it was mentioned here in this forum that Abuja did not request for saqa when you are submitting but tell your friend to do saqa its very important.

[quote author=meagainstdem post=41130314][/quote] Take your transcripts and Bsc/ HND certificate to high court. I mean photocopy of transcripts and certificate. Then you will submit the stamped one with your application. Take all your documents to the embassy they will arrange it for you. The form is (DHA — 1738 ) Form 8 (Google it)

Hello house, very soon I'd like to travel to sa for school (flying school to be precise). I read most of the requirements for the visa stuff but what I want to clarify is that the official bank statement, is it going to be your sponsors bank account or your sponsor has to transfer the money into your bank account. Secondly, are going to book a flight before or after the visa is been granted? Finally how long does it take to grant your visa application
Brother don't confuse yourself here, use only your sponsor bank account. One account is okay. It's just flight reservation.

Pls house, is SAQA part of documents needed for study study visa application in embassy
Yes SAQA is the first thing they will ask for. They have to evaluate your qualifications to know the equivalent to South Africa qualification. Even in South Africa here as a foreigner u need saqa anytime u want to apply for job.

OK@femiaction,I've got Bsc degree, not PhD. So please how is SA generally bro?Brief us a little, thanks
Brother, don't complicate things here. I am not asking about your qualifications I am asking about the documents that you have to submit with your PhD admission letter. I mean
1 Saqa
2 proof of residence
3 yellow card
4 medical (Government hospital in Nigeria)
5 Medical Aid ( South Africa)
6 bank statement
7 Citified true copy of your certificate and transcripts
8 PhD admission letter. etc
South Africa is okay for me because i planed it very well before i left Nigeria and God granted me and my family favour. It's not good for the people that want to hussle.

Hello house. I'm not just a happy man tonight. I was at vsf office in lekki this monday to apply for my PhD study visa only to receive my passport 2day wit my application denied. Reason: I should apply for a study visa, which is done at d SA embassy. All along, nobody ever told me that I was in a wrong place(vsf). When I called one of their staff showing my displeasure on why he didn't tell me moreso he was d one that screened my documents, he said most times SA embassy do direct applicants to them. What I'm hearing now is that d embassy will go on d year's break 2moro friday 18 till january and I'm supposed to resume school by 1st or 2nd week in february. Can someone take his/her time to advise me candidly here please. As I'm typing this, I'm having a serious emotional breakdown. Where do I start from? Any hope for me? Upon all the money I sank in lagos-transport, lodging etc. Honestly, this is not d best of time for me.
Hello, you don't have any problem but you created one for yourself. You are not denied but in wrong place. You have to wait until the embassy resume in January. Hope you have all required documents! Embassy is checking documents on Tuesdays, paying of visa fee to bank on Wednesday and back to embassy to submit on Thursdays.

Hi Heaven for me, what do u mean by P degree? What is your discipline? masters and PhD by research are on scholarship but its not easy to get admission. First step is get your transcripts and certificate Bsc or HND for evaluation by saqa.

@Samtol,how about someone who didn't study education but studied science courses and has experience in teaching for like 4years,is he eligible to apply?thanks.
Brother, education or teaching is not under critical skills. A friend here in SA applied for critical skills work visa and he was denied because he claimed that he is a teacher. You can go through the home affairs website you will see the list of the critical skills. I had HND in mechanical engineering and i am here in SA on critical skills visa. Guy you need some packaging for your qualifications, I mean because of The program ( Education).

Good day house,

Please I would like to know what it will take an engineering graduate to obtain Critical Skills work permit in SA.I was hinted by a few friends in SA that engineers are highly sought for in SA, don't know how true.

My Bachelors degree is in Electrical Engineering and I have about 2 years work experience.

Thanks.
Emasel its true. I got my 5 years critical skills work visa from Lagos. But its long process and it require money too.

Hello house, I have a piece of advice for you, your family or any of you friends that is coming to South Africa. What happened to my family friend that is coming to visit me in Durban today from Nigeria. The hotel was booked through booking.com and he used his debit card. I called the hotel since Wednesday to confirm the booking and they confirmed it but d money was not deducted from his account. Even yesterday I called the hotel to remind them about their booking On getting to the O. R. Tambo International Airport the immigration officer called the hotel and the manager confirmed the booking but the money was not deducted. He was held for 3hours. I thank God for his favour upon their life. The immigration officer now called me and said I need to pay the money in order for him and his wife to be stamped in. I quickly rushed to the hotel and made the payment. The point there was if not God that used the immigration officer to be patient with them they would have send back to Nigeria. Please make sure that you pay for your hotel reservation. He said many Nigerian were sent back because of hotel reservation and yellow card. It's so painful to get to O. R. Tambo International Airport and send back to Nigeria because of hotel reservation and yellow card. I know many God fearing people on this section of Nairaland that can help to do the reservation and proof of residence for people that are coming to study in South Africa. Noting for mahala. (meaning its not free of charge) kosofe.com . Thanks.
