You open a dollar domiciliary account & fund from black market or wherever. You get a dollar master/VISA card and use it anywhere

Hello please, how much rands would be enough for a visitor for 2-3weeks max, would be staying in Jo'burg but would be visiting Pretoria maybe twice or thrice,,no shopping really or going to cinemas,strictly conference.

Seems hotels are cheaper in Jo'burg than in Pretoria.

Pretoria would have been better as the organization I am visiting is in Pretoria but I would be taking care of my expenses myself,soi am thinking of booking an hotel in Jo'burg, but would pay from Nigeria,so anyone with an idea, also considering the transport fare to pretoria for 2-3times

Acess bank cards work in SA. Rate is between 23 and 24 naira. But note that you can only swipe at pos terminals and cannot withdraw. Also note that there is a limit. You can only spend 100usd in a month with the card. Thats about 1300 rands or so.

I may not be able to give u a complete estimate. But

1. Hotels are cheaper in pretoria.
2. You dont have to use an hotel. Go to Airbnb.com. you shiuld get an apartment for d period u wanna stay at a reasonably fair price than an hotel. Compare prices for jburg and pretoria
3. Whatever you decide, there are trains from jburg to pretoria almost evry hour. Just get the train card at d park station(joburg or pretoria). Each trip is not up to 100 rands. Check gautrain fares online.
4. I cant give an estimate of food and all that..but just plan and prepare for your trip well.

I think i have tried.

Thank you very much for your response, u really strike the nail on the head,I'm indeed grateful....God bless

I visited the Airbnb as you said, and its okay too but its fees is per night, wonder why they won't give an estimate for 2 weeks, and apartments seem a little high tho almost the same with Jo'burg,but with the slight diff I would just settle for Pretoria anyway.

And also, checked the gautrain site its preferably awesome, was thinking of Uber but this is far more than better.

Although I would still search for more apartments on Airbnb,.,...

Also do you think 3500rands would sustain me for 2weeks, would be spending most of my free time indoor, Lol no big boy flaunting or related.

It took me six weeks to get a response.

You might need to go through VFS website. There is a long list of what is required.

Also I'd advise that you go through this thread from page 1, that's what I did. It really helped and I asked specific questions based on what I read.

Thanks for your prompt response. I'll just read & digest d thread.

One last question, did you apply though VFS or the SA Embassy?

I really cant tell you what will be enough or not. Plan your trip well. Factor in food, and transportation within town.
Average meals in restaurants range from 50 rands to 120. Like i earlier said, i really cant give exact figures. It depends on you.

Its not fun if you stay indoors all through btw. So much fun to have in Jo'burg. Never lived in pretoria so dont know much about the place.

hello house, how do I get proof of accommodation for Study permit application?

I actually didn't apply for residence last year now I've mailed International unit of the school for a letter of accommodation still no reply.

Any PG aspirant/student at bellville (UWC or CPUT) here?

how can I get the letter to apply asap as class starts late February, so I can sort out my accommodation later.

thanks

Nooooo.

I wouldn't subscribe to the indoor thing. Why then did u travel that far, what story will you tell ur friends and family when u return - that u were indoor ?

Walk around at least, make friends, enough sightseeing.

Hello, try Airbnb. You will get cheap hotels. I hope this helps - you can also try 'sleepingout' it's an apartment sharing service. just add the name of the area you are visiting, E.g:sleepingoutcapetown, and google it.
