Arrived here yesterday bro. Left Nigeria Tuesday.
All the best with your reapplication.
Thanks a bunch.

Thank God. Nice one. Enjoy Pretoria bro. And try and take the Gautrain to Jburg one of these days. Nice experience. Did some work at UJ and TUT last year. Travelled with Arik then cos it was direct flight and cheaper than SA. I don't know if they are still on the itinerary. Let keep in touch.

Good evening everyone

Please, I need some clarifications.

1. How do I get my transcript, passport data page and certificate certified in Nigeria.

2. I need to send the certified documents to a friend in UJ, how can I do this?

Thanks.

1- I am not so sure about transcripts certification because it must be sealed in principle and addressed to wherever you want to send it,(I will still confirm this and let u know),
2- get both photocopies of passports data page and certificates, and their originals to any court. They should certify them there. I leave around Iyana in Ota along the road to Canaan Land. I have certified so many times at the Ota high court just in front of Honda company and it's 250 naira per page.

3- You can use any Express mail to send the documents to your friend in UJ. Just for him to give you the correct address.

I am also aware that the SA custom inspects everything coming into the country and that at times delays the mail and prolongs the waiting time on the receivers end.
I had the experience, i was in UJ and documents were sent to me. I expected to have them within the normal 3-4 working days but I didn't till I left. It arrived about 2weeks later and the explanation above is what I was given.
Sorry, very long and boring? I hope it helps anyway.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mojohnny(m): 8:02pm On Sep 08, 2016
Okay. My colleagues that came in on Saturday came in via Ethiopian airlines.theybhad a stop over in Addis Ababa for 2 hours. They however told me that they had to pay $100 at immigration in Nigeria which they said was impaction fee and they were given receipt for and they said they were told it will be returned to them upon arrival ( I and my friends weren't asked that though)
At the Point of Entry here I had a smooth entry, the guy just asked me what I was here for and I told him and he stamped me in. It took less than 2 minutes.
In fact my friend wasn't even asked his reason for coming while my other friend was delayed for about an hour while they were trying to confirm our accommodation. So I must say it depends on luck.
Just be confident and ensure you have the following
A. YELLOW CARD (it's very Key)
B. Return ticket
C. Proof of accommodation
D. Any other documents supporting your reason for entry.
Have a safe trip whenever you are coming.

I am not conversant with the admission process at the undergraduate level. But just as friendly101 said, do some ground work through UJ websites. Send mails and make calls and I sure u will have information. What department are u considering applying to?

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mojohnny(m): 12:52pm On Sep 09, 2016
Just arrived in SA on Wednesday.
I changed my Naira to dollars then I changed to dollars when I got to the airport here. Naira-Dollar exchange rate was 420 at Sullah bureau de change and when I got here it was 13.6 rands for a Dollar.
Long story short. Changing To dollars then coming over here to convert to rands gives you more value for your money.

Naira converted to rand in Nigeria once you get to Sa ,you won't b able to change naira to rand by cash .convert your naira to rand is the best ,no point changing to dollars you won't spend dollars
