I'm not 100% sure about the peculiarity of your case, where did you seek advice and you were told you can travel with your receipt? To my best knowledge, you are supposed to wait till you get your permit before you can leave the country. As regards the police clearance, you can get it from Nigeria, the stress will be double but it's doable. (Speaking from experience)

Hopefully you have friends in SA that can help you, here is what you have to do. Go to Alagbon and have your fingerprints taken, make sure you explain to them extensively that you plan to send the fingerprints to SA to obtain police clearance. When that is done, go the website of the south african foreign affairs and diwnload the police clearance application form. Fill the form and write a cover letter and send the everything to your friend in SA along with R100. Police clearance cost R59 to be paid in a bank draft so that rest of the money should cover the bank draft. If your friend lives in PTA, he can submit in your behalf (the office to submit is at schoeman in PTA, google can help with that) it takes about 28 days for the certificate to be issued. Your friend can pick it up and send it to you. I'm sending this from my phone so it might not be as concise but that's the blueprint. Best of lucks

. Hello Westcodes. Thank you for explaining to me in details how to go about getting my police certificate from Nigeria. I will be getting the finger prints in Ibadan since I am here presently. I just need a little clarity from you. I tried to call the criminal record office in SA in charge of police certificate but I was put on hold for too long. I wanted to know where to download that SA form you were talking about. I tried to google it but couldn't find it. Do I need to fill any form also with Nigeria police that I will send to them or is just d finger print paper I will send? A police man told me at the state police headquarters in Ibadan that the finger print is the normal ink pad thing because I thought there is a special kind of paper for that. Plz a friend is traveling to SA this weekend kindly respond to my post today if you get it. I have been trying to get intouch with u to know more about this. Thanks.

tolma28: hello everybody. please i will like to ask about the implication of the red stamp on passport after visa denial (can someone whose passport has been stamped with d red stamp recently in Lagos reapply in Abuja?). also i will like to ask if it is possible to get more than 3 months visiting visa (especially for someone who has been issued like 3 tourist visa before)

the red stamp mean they have ban u for a year or six month, that happen when they see any forge document. I also have the same stamp in my passport, but i can refer u to 1 agent that can help u to get the visa ban or no ban but the man will charge u like 180k o

Martins459: Dear Collins, Justwise etal. I really need your advice.

I made a s/a tourist visa application 2 weeks ago. I collected my passport yesterday and was refused on the grounds that the "signature on bank statements lacks credibility". I find this totally absurd. These 2 statements are mine and were collected directly from the banks. I intend to pursue this to a logical conclusion but I honestly don't know where to begin.

Hi peeps, I got my 3 months SA tourist visa yesterday. This came on the heels of previous Visa denial earlier in the year when my application was denied on the grounds that the signature on bank statement lacks credibility.

Arrival at Oliver(OR) Tambo International Airport

Hey guys. Been away for so long. Let's attempt to answer some questions and put a smile on some people's faces. All the bosses in the house, #Respect.

You will need to go through earlier posts. This question has been answered a lot of time. Take some time to go through the first 4 pages, come back to answer specific questions. Hope I'm not rude?

It means they have finished processing your application. You have to get there, collect it to know whether they granted or denied you visa. I hope they granted you. All the best.

I think I remember your case. I'm glad for you. Cheers dude.

Idrismusty97: Can someone estimate the total amount you will need to go to south African.Visa,passport etc included. Thanks

Police Certificate - depends on how well you can negotiate - 3 - 10k
Medical Cert - about 500
Visa Application - about 18k
Repatriation fees - 110k
Plane ticket - about 110k (unless you're flying first/middle class)
Accomodation - depends on your hotel. Can't estimate
Bank statement - about 600k is fine (may be part of the above)

What else am I missing?

femmoy: what part of ibadan are u? please lemme know so we can meet and relate better.

Why can't you relate with her here and let others gain from you? @cacius, you can ask your questions here. People will answer you. If you however feel you need to meet with someone, all the best. I wish you well.

SOS @TYPOP and others.

I've booked my flight for Friday 25th (Cape Town)... And intend staying with a friend when I get there. However, the same friend told me that I must have an hotel reservation of about 5 days or I wouldn't be allowed to enter the Republic.

Please... How can I go about this? I don't have the finances to book an actual reservation at the moment!

Can I make a reservation online without paying? If yes, can anyone kindly give me guidelines on how this is done (e.g. hotels/website)?

Thanks in advance.

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

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.

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

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.

Please can some body that read education economics in a state university get masters admission to study in South Africa without doing honors.
