People that are shouting xeno aren’t living in SA and they have never been there before

Xenophobia is sa doesn’t meant it will affect everywhere there and that doesn’t means sa isn’t peaceful

It’s a simple logic bro
Boss save your data and energy. It's a waste of time responding to them. You read, ignore and starve them of the attention they seek.

Hello,

Please can I submit application on behalf of my wife and two children here in Nigeria embassy for SA relative dependant visa (Is it compulsory they are there). I already have my own study permit. I just want them to have the Visas in case they need to visit anytime. They will probably not be going with me for now.

Also please advise on documents I should submit and those that needs certifications.
Refer to vfs Nigeria website for the document list and most importantly the financial requirements

High commission wouldn't understand that you want them to have the visa so they can visit. You have to demonstrate financial capability to support all of them.

Shalom

The required forms that you filled

Then send it to them via courier then would acknowledge receipt of the documents then contact your school for verification.

Please send them all the required documents else they will refund your money

This post is a good enough reason why South Africa needs to tighten the borders and enact strict immigration laws.
What they don't know is that SA officials are aware of all these methods just that some still slip through the cracks.

Pls do i need to book an appointment first before going for submittion and how long does it take for the tourist visa to be issued,i need urgent response,thanks.
As of now, no need for appointment. Just stroll in like the big boy you are and submit grin

Official processing time is 6-8 weeks. Some have gotten it in a shorter time, others on schedule while others are three months and still waiting.

@abeylevels

Applying for visa to SA now is a bit too late. Based on the average processing time (as reported here) there's a very good chance that the visa may not be ready in time for Christmas. If you are convinced, there's no harm in trying.

1. Include your bank statement and hers

2. Let's do a rough estimate, since you haven't booked flights now average ticket cost by December would be around 200k that's 400k for both of you, this may increase with the number of kids. Factor in accommodation which would be expensive and feeding. Let's say 1.5million. What the VO may think is after spending 1.5m on a trip, will 500k be enough to take care of your family? (logical thinking � �) my opinion is that it may not be enough. ( I stand corrected sha)

3. Let her indicate she's self employed.

4. Yes let her add hers.

5. The fact you are married should be enough ties. (hopefully)

6. Yes should include it.

Bonus - You may need to certify your wedding certificate and the birth certificate of your kids at ministry of foreign affairs at Abuja. (confirm from the checklist)

Shalom.

Life is hard in SA as an illegal immigrant because its obvious that you are trying to sneak into SA.

FYI, there's no short route to SA from Malawi

I just read an article about why ASUU is hesitant on the new payroll system. However, I they need to own the story and control the narrative about this thing because apparently the new system does not make provisions for certain situations that provision has been made for in act governing the universities.

Any one interested can read it here

You Lecturer would most likely be doing adjunct lecturing or visiting lecturing there. It's not a full-time job and such part-time jobs are allowed in lecturing. That you're marking scripts for him doesn't make it a full time job
Bros you stand by what you said, and I stand by what I said. This dude had two full time jobs as a lecturer . Shalom.

You don't have to agree but you should know the truth!
My supervisor in university was a full time lecturer in another private university, I even helped him mark scripts and record scores. So it's very disingenuous of you to say that lecturers don't hold multiple jobs. It's definitely not all but quite a few do.

Oga please don't give people wrong information. Maybe you should properly read what he wrote again. Because he is legally married in Nigeria to a SA citizen does not even have any effect in SA since he has not paid a Lobola and has not been in any long relationship with the woman for a minimum of 2years within SA. As such any application for any type of permit may/will be refused.

For the record if you don't know....VISITORS VISA CAN BE CONVERTED to some types of permit. Make you findings right before advising people.

Cheers
Yea this was a recent development I'm now aware of. Thanks

Yes you can now change status from visitors visa to relative permit based on the ruling by the South African constitutional court in June this year. Find document for the ruling here. People have started using it and getting their visas converted. Please note it is only visitors visa to relative permit in legal marriage to a South African citizen or permanent resident holder

Thanks for the documents, wondering how I missed this.

TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Geenosko: 6:23pm On Oct 20, 2019
My last take on this, if your brother is legally married, let him apply for a spousal visa. If there's any issue, she can easily petition home affairs and everything would be easily sorted.

Home affairs would accept any valid marriage certificate that's authenticated by the ministry of foreign affairs



Apply for a Visitors visa and it goes side ways, he's on his own.

For the records, you can't change status from visitors to relative permit.

In fact, you can't convert from visitors visa to anything in South Africa.

Let him get a Visitors visa if he does not want to get denied. Relative or Spousal visa is a NO for now.
Why should a person who's legally married to a South African citizen apply for visitors visa? Sounds very strange.

Dear Family, please advice; my brother is about to get married to his SA wife, they met about 3years ago, she was here in Nigeria, done family intros and court and now gone back to prepare for him coming over for the Lobola. He only got passport yet, please, where do we begin in getting a SA Visa? Will he be needing any form of documents from her? Kindly assist. Thanks.
If they have done court wedding, let him apply for spousal visa. The requirements for spousal visa are on the home affairs website. Note spousal visa is different from relative visa.
