You can check for houses on gumtree.co.za

yes we are coming with a Visitors VISA ,, means we cant stay for long right ? What do you think is best for us to do ?? Please

staggerlee:

Depends on area but nothing less than R5000 per month and you need a resident permit to rent a house, hope you are not coming with a visitors visa, because if you are you can't stay more than 30 days

what is paid booking? is it different from a confrimed reservation? and would your card be charged for duration of stay or just the 1st night is charged on the card?thank you

yinksob002:
This is why i always advise people to do a paid hotel booking and save yourself unnecessary stress and denials. Coincidentally, it happened to a friend of mine too who used the same hotel but got his visa after re-applying later with a paid hotel booking.
The truth is that it's always advisable to do a paid booking and cancel it once your visa comes out. The SA embassy doesn't joke with it at all.[Qzquote author=roblance post=43168229]Boss seems na wetin dy flow be that o. A pal of mine got Invalid hotel as well.

How did you go about the hotel? Which hotel and how did you pay?
I think if they can refund part of the money depending on how close your traveling date is.

I paid with my card. Garden Court Morningside, Sandton is the name of the hotel.

Through booking.com or directly with the hotel? You should be able to get refund if the date of arrival is not too close. Contact the hotel.

Honestly I have never been asked how much I have at the point of entry in SA or any other country, glory to God I don't need a visa to enter SA anymore, so I can't really answer your question

Yes, is school providing accommodation? If not look up student accommodation providers and ask for reservation. Take booking details and fly. Which institution is?

Its a long long process but its possible. During my time, I did masters in electrical engineering and started my PHD, I applied for exceptional work permit. I got a letter from my supervisor plus my publications and some other things and I applied, thankfully I got it. With exceptional skills visa you can apply for a Permanent Residence Permit and I got in.
But now you have to get a Critical work visa which u need to join a professional body and the body gives u a letter with that letter you take other docs like publications and so on you apply for the critical skills. With critical skills, after 1 year u can apply for PR. Or wait till you get a PHD and apply for PR.
Mind u, your chances of getting all these visas depends on course of study. Your best bet is Sceience Tech Engineering or Medicine with a minimum of Masters degree

Hello brother. Thanks for your assistance in this forum. Sir i have critical skill work permit which i got from nigeria. I am currently doing my masters in mechanical engineering@ ukzn and I don't have any publication yet then I want to apply for my PR.

Things are a bit harder with critical skills as compared to when its exceptional skills. It is expected that within a year of your critical skills you are gainfully employed, after the employment yo can apply for PR. You will @ one point, might need publications for your PR applications but under critical skills am not sure its compulsory. What is more compulsory is letter from a body and work references.

BTW, what visa are u using to study?
