Cypha8:


Mine was 11 months February to December 2015...

chemashie:

It seems you are not current with the repatriation refund policy. You have to request for the repatriation refunds on or before 28th of February, 2015. I will be going to Abuja to collect mine before going back to SA.

abaeli:

was ur 11 months medical accepted cos both embassy rejected anything less dan 12 months o. maybe it depends on level of study sha

Cypha8:


Yes it was accepted. OK perhaps because I did not apply in neither Abuja nor Lagos...

Thanks sultan..does that mean il get to do the biometrics at the high commission as opposed to d usual practice of doing it at the VFS office? Really appreciate your time n efforts. Thanks

Hi nairalanders, Is there anyone going to Wits or UJ in January or anyone currently living around its environs that we can rent a room together and share d cost. I learnt rent will be on the high side BTW Jan &Feb due to the influx of newly admitted students. Thanks

sultan003:


Am not sure about the biometrics stuff at the high commission, just give them a call or go with your documents and you will be fine..
I applied here in SA via VFS so I did the fingerprints and all that.

sultan003:


If it is braamfontein, auckland park, melville areas, Accomodation is relatively ok .. To get cheap rates, Start scouting now check gumtree or Olx

Seeing that a lot of things can happen in Naija, I wouldn't say it's not possible. But make sure you get the vaccination itself before you leave naija. That way, we make the world a safer place cos we do what we are supposed to do. You can collect the shot the night you want to travel.

yansky:



Pls do u now know for sure is SAQA is a requirement at the lagos embassy. Hopefully I submit on Tuesday.

TYPOP:
UPDATE on the repatriation thingy. Please, everybody on study visa should take note. It also applies to those whose visas are yet to expire. It is a Q & A page on the Home Affairs website. Thanks for the link Oladayo.

9. Are travellers with valid permits with expiry date beyond 28 February 2015 going to forfeit their deposits?

No, they will claim when their permits expiry or when they have changes status, or have been granted permanent residence status.

10. The DHA has, inadvertently ( or deliberately?) put legal immigrants in a catch 22 situation where they lose if they do, and lose if they do not collect their deposits. It seems strange that immigrant students should lose substantial fees due to an amendment made after they already obtained their permits - Is this not a retraction of their original permits?

No student will forfeit his or her repatriation deposit if his or her permit is still valid and they will only claim when their permits expire at the end of their studies.

So, no shakings my brothers and sisters. Let's complete our studies whenever we do, and go get our monies at home. I'll print the page out for record purposes though.

Please do u know?

chemashie:

This is way to go! They should help keep the money, it will sure come in handy later. Getting a cheaper fare on SAA from MMIA to PE is not easy. Can't believe I'm paying 157k as against 134k I paid last year.

drealsheggs:
@ yinkaabeegs. thanks bro. but I don't have anyone in SA that can update me on the diploma program in nursing because I like to become a nurse assistant or nursing , but I am a non science student. So I want to know if it is possible for me to be enrolled & trained to become a nurse assistant/nurse. please when was the last time you checked about the nursing program and what is the name of the school that you've gotten the information from and are you also a medical person?

preshuzpearl:
I still have a few questions.
1. how can I get to south african embassy from oshodi? And how early should I be there to submit application?

2.Do I need to submit a medical and xray report?

3.Is flight itinerary also part of the requirements?

You guys are great
