What you require is to certify photocopies of your Bachelor's degree certificate, Transcript and Data page of your international passport at any high court. You need to fill the application online at the SAQA website, download the consent form and application form. You fill those two forms. You proceed to pay the SAQA fee with your card, I was charged around N39,500. A confirmation receipt will be sent to your email, you need to print it out, it is your proof of payment.

You later send the following documents through courier to the SAQA office in South Africa;
1. Certified copy of your BSC certificate
2. Certified copy of your transcript
3. certified copy of your international passport data page
4. consent form
5. Application form
6. proof of payment
7. A copy of your CV

I sent my documents to SAQA around April 20th and just last week Friday I got a mail that my Evaluation is ready. i hope to receive it this week. I wish you all the best.

Letter of introduction from my working place stamped.
Self letter of introduction typed on my working place letter head and stamped.
Offer of employment from my working place.
Two passport photograph
Two coloured data page photocopy
Back and front of my yellow card, two coloured photo copy.
I booked my return flight on travel start.com, confirmation was sent into my e-mail.

@kaleydd2000
If u ask me i wld say those amount cld be fine,what i don't know is if SA is not only concerned with balance but acct history...d fact dat they mentioned that ur salary must reflect in ur account wld mean dey do not look at balance alone
My advice wld be make sure ur salaries reflect in ur account

As for hotels...even though dey do not accept 3rd party booking sites ...u may still work around the same booking sites....go on those booking sites n then begin to contact the hotels directly...

Our visas are valid for 3 months singe entry of 10 days...

Thank you Damdee . Where you able to submit the day you went there or you had to book an appointment? If so please what is the interval between the day you booked to the appointment day.?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by damdee: 10:31pm On May 23, 2018
you will have to book an appointment and i think it is always two or three times a week so you can choose a preferable day

@Layomex
I don't think ut land document wld do too much cos i din't submit such..but if u do it cld be a added value

Sincerely i still think how ur bank account flows makes a better chance...d day i picked my visa,my younger sister applied n she was issued a visa as well

Her visa issuance confirmed dis bank talks

She had an account statement dat her salaries were paid every month..200k+ monthly

Am thinking no matter how much ur balance is ,make sure Ur salary reflects on ur banj statement genuily

Kinda strange cos d working efficiency of the SA embassy recently as been applaudable...completion of process taking from 1 day to atmost 4 to 5 days for visiting visas

Have u applied for a SA visa b4?
And were u issued or denied?
Amongst ur submitted document is there any forged or fake documents?

Did u package ur application urslf or via an agent?

With 18 days and still under assesment u may still wait if ur travel dates ave not passsed,but if it as passed u have d choice to continue to wait or approach vfs for a withdrawal
