TYPOP:


Firstly, we advise people to do their stuff themselves here.

Secondly, even with all the right documents, the consular still decides whether he wants people to come into their country or not and may or may not deny people based on the flimsiest of excuses. By paying, you would have fulfilled all the requirements and hope the consular grants you your visas. By paying, he has no reason to deny you based on your previous "overstay".

Cheers.

Yes, well answered!

chemashie:

Can you explain the bolded part?

Thanks Chesmashie, hope you are good too!
They want a proof that you already left South Africa and not going back. Thats the frustrating part. The new immigration law has in effect cancel all repatriation deposit for all temporary forms of visa, that means, all formal repatriation deposit should be returned to owners. But I dont know why they are asking for proof of final departure from South Africa before they can pay back.
They also said that for people that have changed their status before 26th may, 2014 while in the republic can claim their deposit back at the nearest home affairs, but when I went to their Pretoria office today, nobody seems to know whats going on. I think you can claim back at the abuja office but how will you give them a proof of your final departure from SA.

kingmayor:


THE REPATRIATION REFUND is for all categories of temporary visas and visitors visa if you paid the fee.

The following is required to apply for your refund
Any person who claims a refund must submit the following documents:
(a) Application for refund of repatriation deposit form (available at South African
Foreign Missions or Department of Home Affairs Local Offices);
(b) Original Passport (for verification purposes);
(c) Original receipt of the deposit;
(d) Proof of banking details / warrant vouchers (cheques);
(e) Proof of final departure from the Republic of South Africa on or before the expiry of
the temporary residence permit; and
(f) in the case where an application for refund is made in the Republic, proof of
change of status prior to 26 May 2014 or proof of permanent residence permit.
(NOTE: Anyone who had overstayed his or her permit shall not qualify for a refund,
as he or she would have violated the terms and conditions of his or her temporary
residence permit).
Failure to claim a refund by 28 February 2015 will result in the deposit forfeited to the
State as unclaimed.

MojAyo:
Hi peeps,is it true dat SA embassy in lagos dnt issue out SA passport again,I went there yesterday,and d lady in d counter told me dat,and again,the lady was questioning me dat I overstayed for 60,000naira(3000rand)dat she dnt knw about my visa,and I'm planning to go back,she said what my child can apply for is visitors visa and me also,she photocopied my passport page yesterday,told me to go to Diamond bank and pay 60,000naira for overstay frm SA embassy,I wanna ask,if after paying d overstay,hope there won't be a problem issuing out d visa becos of the overstay stuff

Hi MojAyo, the 60,000 naira is a fine for overstaying your visa. After paying the money you are now qualified to apply for another visa. It is not a guarantee that you will be issued the visa, they still have to do their own verification and check your documents if all are in proper shape before they make their decision

eighty7: Hello Collinsfbi and all, pls could you help me out,? Do you know of any agency or reliable agent that helps to secure admission into South African Universities at undergraduate level? I need one urgently please. Applying directly to the universities appears to be a herculean task. pls help.

Securing admission for undergraduates studies is not that hard!, you dont need an agent to help you out once you have all the requirements. Which University are you planning to apply to and which course. One thing you should know is that school fees for undergraduate study is very expensive here, once you have the issue of fees sorted, others should be easy

adewumigloria: @Tosol, I presented my SAQA certificate at the emabassy, but someone on this thread said he got his without SAQA. He said the Lagos office asked for it but that its not necessary at the abuja office and I think someone confirmed it too. @Typop can shed more light on this.
Cheers.

Yes, you have to submit SAQA evaluation with your application if you are submitting in lagos, its not required at abuja

september14:

But people go there on visititng and apply for study permit and get it right? Is this possible?

Yes, anyone who is on visiting visa can apply for study permit here once you get admitted

Horladortune: On the streets of Panorama, Cape Town

I dont know why you keep posting your photos on the thread, this is not like some facebook page

surecan: For those who have seen South Africa study permit, does it have an indication of the term 'study permit' on the visa sticker? 2. Can one study a post graduate masters course without living in South Africa?

Yes, the name of your school will also be written on it. There are some part time postgraduate courses available, but you will not be given study permit if you apply for some distance learning courses, its only visitors visa that will be issued for you.

julianauche19: OK.so u mean my originals.if possible state all the certificates needed here for me.I have my HND,WAEC,FSLC.just this? Also the transcript.will they give me in hand or will they address it to saqa themselves?

I mean the certified photocopies of your waec, your degree of hnd certificates and the transcripts of all the courses you did. It might be the student copy of the transcript. You will need to colour scan all the certified copies of your documents and your passport, send it to someone in south africa, the person can apply on your behalf and also go to collect the results when ready

julianauche19: Please o.what are the documents needed for the Saqa and if I get them.how do I submit?

U need certified true copies of ur certificates and transcripts and the data page of ur passport. U can send all ur documents to someone in south africa to submit for u.

aupcy@yahoo.com:
Good day all,

I am a new member here so please pardon if my question seems to be a recurrent one but I tried to read all post but believe me I would need an optician if I should go through all of it..(lol). I just have two simply questions:

1) My sponsor has two separate bank statements containing a little over 1million in each. I would like to know if this would be sufficient enough to tender at the embassy for a study permit. (My school is Uni of Wits, postgrad program)

2) Where in Abuja (banks or pay points) do I pay for the study permit application fees.

Thanks guys for anticipated prompt response.

A single bank statement of over 1 million is ok for you to apply with, you will apply for your study permit at the south african high commission abuja, from their, if your application is accepted you will be given a bank branch to pay to also in abuja, they use diamond bank.

deola m a: Pls ow true is it dat after an extension on my tourist visa, a work permit can't b processed on my passport, xcept I come back to my home country. Enter sa again and apply for work permit

very true sir!

julianauche19: Thanks so much. So how do i go for the evaluation .what are the process involved? [Quote author=kingmayor]

You will apply for SAQA evaluation with the certified true copies of your certificates, transcripts and ID. SAQA evaluation can only be applied for here. There is the express application which takes around 10-15 working days to get the evaluation certificate and it costs around R1000 (am not sure), the other one takes roughly 2 months and its like half the price for the express evaluation.

julianauche19: Great thread.please my degree is HND,can they approve me to do my masters with it in SA ? If not .are their any other program that am supposed to apply for first in SA before they can allow me to do masters there? Also if its possible is there any UNI that u guys can suggest for me that will be more economical ?I studied electrical electronics engineering

Hello, the first thing you have to do is SAQA evaluation, the outcome of the evaluation will suggest what you can apply for here. Although I have seen some universities taking HND holders directly for masters, but if not, you will first need to apply for honors degree which will take 1 year, then you can then apply for your masters. Generally, postgraduate education here is not so expensive compared to some other countries and you can also pay the fees in installments, but if you are going for honors, you have to pay for all the courses you have to register. As I said earlier SAQA evaluation results will suggest what you can apply for. Goodluck

femmoy:

in the case of a denial,i learnt they would put it on their site,how true is this? plus what part of SA are u?

They wont put it on their site, its until u collect your passport that you will know if you are granted or not. I suggest you go there first to collect it a.s.a.p as passports not collected on time will be returned to the high commission

dannie007: Please I will be leaving for SA in 2 weeks time for my 3 weeks break but the thing is that I want to know more about what I can buy and resell in SA cos I don't want to fly leaving my luggage space empty I heard abt hair attachment and entention please do u have any contact over there in SA who can give me reasonable info cos that's what I'm reasonin to do now!!!! Please I need ur humble replies thanks.

Which side are you coming to in SA?

molue27: Good day everyone, I am to leave for South Africa on 13th October, 2013. I paid my repatriation fee on the 2nd October, 2013. Please, how many days does it take to get the passport back?

Thanks.

It takes 3 to 5 days, dont worry u will get it on time

september14: I want to apply for an s.a study permit, I have a virgin passport but the date of my birth in this passport is incorrect. During my application is it ok if I submit my birth certificate and an affidavit stating my original date of birth? Would this be accepted?

I will advice you not to do anything to jeopardize your chances of getting your study permit. You cannot get full assurance from anyone if it will be accepted or not. You can always get another passport that will state your real date of birth if d mistake is from immigration.

iyiolami: Kindly advise if there is a prescribe hospital for medical certificate and x-ray test?Appreciate...

Recognized government hospital

iyiolami: How do i go about medical insurance for study visa.I see it one of the requirements for study pernit.thanks

You can send the money to anyone you know around where you want to study to do it for you. A copy of your admission letter, international passport will be needed.

Zee07: Hi all. I'm new in here. Tried to follow this thread from the beginning (you know how difficult that can be with 59 pages!) Anyway, kudos to the "SA gurus" here, giving candid advice and apparently making the lives of fellow brothers/sisters better: Respect to collinsfbi and and Manager007
Please forgive me if this issue has been previously discussed/answered.
Is there an age limit on Repatriation fees? What i mean is, for instance, if my wife and 2yrs+ daughter decide to come and join/visit me in SA (I'm not yet in SA though), do I have to 'drop' for the child too? I hope not!
Awaiting your response.
Thanks.

Yes to all!

princeprincess: i dnt just want to pay that money because is too costly for me to give in just like that.i learnt that people who travel to S.A by tourist visa dont pay that money and they can apply for any school of their choice when they get there?thats why am thinking of applying for tourist visa?kindly advise me or inbox me any information to this e-mail princeadelekm@gmail.com

When you are given admission you will still need to apply for study permit visa, that is what you will use to register at the institution, you cannot register with a tourist visa, u can only apply for admission. The thing also is that I dont think you can spend more than a month is SA at a time, so whats the probability that you will get everything done and your study permit will be ready within that stipulated time. At any rate u will still need to pay repatriation fee when you apply for study permit here even if you come here with tourist visa.

molue27:
Good Day Everyone,

I omitted the second page of my hotel reservation when I submitted my visa application at Vfs. I tried calling the helplines but no one was picking up. How do I get the 2page to the Embassy.

Thanks

As far as your payment and confirmation info is on the one you submitted, otherwise you might be called upon to furnish the remaining part. Just back it up with prayers. Your application would have been dispatched to the embassy except you call the embassy and ask for update on your application then they can tell you if anything is missing.

princeprincess: pls nairaland:i want to travel 2 S.A as a tourist,how can i arrange the document myself ?pls i need info

Are you not the same person asking about study permit?. You cannot dodge paying repatriation money, if you dont pay in Naija you will still have to pay it here is S.A which is more expensive. You can check through the past pages of this thread, you will find everything you need there. Its good for you to apply by yourself, if your documents are genuine then you will be granted.

3rd eye: And pls @kingmayor

I will strongly advise to check all your available options before you spend lots of money coming here without any solid arrangements. There are lots of Nigerians here doing nothing, and they cant go back home because they invested heavily in their travelling and people back at home are also relying on them for support just because they are out of the country. There are no easy jobs anywhere, and I dont think you can meet up with work visa requirement just by staying few weeks. There are lots of documentation involved, although anything is possible but its not a bed of roses.

3rd eye: Please how easy it is to get a work permit in south Africa if u get there through a visiting visa? Thanks

elume2020: @kingmayor, let me state I got a scholarship from SANEDI, probably that is why I was allowed to process my study permit and mind you God's favour to get through the security and the whole process. Just as u read this I have arrive joburg. Had a gautrain ride from the airport to rosebank for 173 rands. So I wish everyone the very best in their endeavour. And please whenever you arrive here give a good impression about Nigeria. Thanks to God for the opportunity and special thanks to Nairaland for information and advise. One love my people.

Its good to know you are here, have a wonderful and prosperous stay..

iyiolami: @mayor,Kindly advise on the option of going to SA on a visitors visa with the intention of submitting my application for study over there.please tell us all your professional advise.

Its very possible and easier to apply for study permit here, you can just come with all your documents and make the application, it is processed faster and they wont take your time unnecessarily. But you will have to pay the application fee and repatriation fee. I think repatriation fee here is more expensive 7000 Rands.
