hi. currently the embassy has been referring applicants for study visa to vfs. the application and processing fee is about 21k. do all necessary photocopies before coming. cos it's highly expensive at vfs. include d following :

Self introduction letter,
letter of sponsorship from your sponsor
Sponsor ID
All your academic certificates (certified) can be added as additional documents.
Thanks so much
It means I shld go straight to VFS

They don't actually accept application on Tuesdays, they verify your documents on Tuesday, you go to pay on Wednesday and then submit on Thursday. But you can only start the process on Tuesday (7:00am), it's sort of a chain reaction.

NB: It's not VFS for study permit, it's SA High Commission, VFS in Nigeria is only for short term visa to SA, however VFS handles all visa (change/renewal) applications in SA, including PR application.

Cheers!
