Someone should help out please.

Sorry, I'm pressed for time at the moment so I won't be able to give you the details of each step. I'll simply tell you the main points.

* Get the medical report form get it completed at the appropriate place.
* Get a yellow fever vaccination card.
* Get a police clearance certificate.
* Get a medical aid certificate that works in SA.
* Get an airline reservation and attach it.
* Get a letter from someone indicating your accommodation is sorted (your international office may issue it).
* Go and get the application form and fill it.
* Pay the visa fees and apply.

*If applying in Abuja, include your SAQA.

In case I forget anything, the others will add it please. You can also get clarification on all of the points above.

If you have any more question, please feel free to ask me

Good day all, there is something in my mind that has bothering which is about the development of moving to SA, I have no one there and I am hoping and believing that there will sure be a solution to this my issue, because I want to relocate to SA for good, so I am thinking of applying for a visitor's visa and then extend it upon arrival and expiration of the visa in SA. my fear is that will I be able to secure a job to survive and carter for myself even without knowing anybody and how can I get where I can accommodate myself over there because feeding and housing are very important in man's life until I can be able to manage and then be independent of myself in a little while. I am also interested in becoming a nurse assistant , but while I tried to make some researches , I found some nursing colleges and some of those colleges tuition ranges from R29,000 - 40000, and they requested that some certain amount of the must be deposited and the remaining of the tuition be paid few weeks to the start of the class. but I am been bothered with the cost of tuition, because I don't even have up to that amount presently and I don't know if my arrival in SA, if I can be able to see something to in order to raise a substantial amount of money and later I can then go an apply for the diploma course in nursing assistant. thanks in anticipation of your advise! Cheers.

Choosing to study nursing is a very good decision on your part. You will be able to secure a job and even move around different countries on a Nursing degree/diploma with the help of recruitment agencies (but you gotta work hard).

I would recommend studying via Netcare education (visit www.netcare.co.za/23/education-and-training). You will first need to write a standardized exam/test at OLG. If you pass, you begin the Netcare nursing program, if you dont get the required score, you will have to do something similar to "pre-degree" for one year, also at Netcare.

Now the advantage of netcare is that it has hospitals all over SA and in other countries abroad, so, you can choose to do your practicals at any hospital closest to your house. Another advantage is that you can also earn money while studying with netcare, once you complete the first year, you obtain a diploma and there are numerous job adverts for nursing assistants in their hospitals, every now and then. Alot of students rely on these jobs, you earn a decent wage and still get to earn your degree as well. So its a win-win situation.

However, before you even think of applying for admission, you need to evaluate your results at SAQA ( www.saqa.org.za), the evaluated credentials will be most useful in securing admission at Netcare or any other nursing colleges in SA.

Another good and reputable nursing college is Thuto Bophelo ( visit http://www.nursingacademy.co.za).

For accommodation, you will find your feet after a month or two during studies, you will find shared accommodation with your fellow students and share all bills. Just make friends and help and knowledge will come your way.


Lastly, another good course/program to study is Pharmacist Assistant. The good thing about all these courses is they give you practical training and you also earn money on the job

if there's any information else required, please ask and i'm sure everybody on this thread will be able to answer if they can.

All the best!

you can extend, but I don't think you can work with it legally

author=yansky post=29635774]

I guess its at this point that I want to just stay back in Nigeria and forget about travelling. It's so stressful

I'm just lucky that UCT is cooperative. I've been given an extension on my registration deadline so I can resume anytime. My lectures don't start till june.

On the visa issue.
1. I've been processing the medical report since tuesday. After all the tests at lasuth which I collected the next day, they told me I need treatment for something they noticed in my result before they can sign the form.

I will take the treatment oh. And go back. No wahala

2. I was not immunised at the airport. They just gave me yellow card with my name on it saying the workers that would inject me were on strike. I paid 1k.

3. Momentum health insurance gave me certificate for 11 months cover after I payed for 12. I'm still expecting a response to my complaint.

one day one day I will submit this application

For the flight itinerary, use flysaa.com or google south african airways. Book without pay and print the final page. That should do.

I have decided to return to abuja and complete the process there since I have more time now.

General hospital, ikeja was asking for 7,500 naira to fill the medical form. I just walked out

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.

THANKS TYPOP FOR THIS TIMELY INFORMATION.

However, someone that just collected his repatriation fees in Nigeria told me that the ladies at embassy said they are not refunding any money after 28th February.....the deadline.

also i want to ask if it is possible to collect by proxy (with the proxy collector having the passport) this is because i have a friend with two sons and his wife here and would not want to lose that huge amount of money.

thanks

Suremed can be used for medical insurance. Contact details.: info@studenthealth.co.za. I used last year for my permit.

UCT require 11 months for registration purposes, February to December. For study permit, you can ask UCT international office to give you a letter stating this. Shouldn't take them more than 1 working day. Unless Momentum ammend your certificate before you apply.

Best wishes...

It is possible but it is better in Nigeria .Learn in Nigeria

@ Manager007, thanks for the information. But do you also know how someone can apply for a diploma program in nursing @ Netcare Education in SA from Nigeria and how can one submit his / her result to SA from Nigeria for evaluation.. And would the test/ exam be written in SA before one can also be considered for admission @ Netcare. thanks in anticipation.

Yes

I collected my study permit yesterday @ the abuja embassy. I advice anyone who applied in november here in abuja and hasn't heard from the embassy to go check. I just went to check and my visa had already been issued since december sef.

And I'm also grateful for all the help I got from the commentators here. Thanks a lot.

I don't understand what is happening with South Africa Embassy. I think they are just there to reap us of our hard-earned cash through their visa fee. I have been given visa twice by South Africa which I travelled but I was surprise when I was denied visa on the ground that my documents lack credibility in August 2013. I tried applying again for vacation on the 26th of November 2014 which I didn't get any response till January 5th 2015. I went their and I was still deny with a very stupid excuse. I applied for a visiting visa and I was told "APPLICATION FOR WORT PERMIT DENIED" (please take note of the typo made by this guys). Now, why was I denied visa? I was told that my hotel reservation is cancelled. Why won't the hotel reservation cancel when the application was delays? Well, that is my experience and I want advice. Should I still apply because I was confused and contacted a friend who said they use insiders to get SA visa? How true is this and what can I do?
