If on a visitor visa, he can't change status.

Well, I didn't know he was on a visiting visa.

Yes, you can use your uncle's bank statement different surname is not an issue as long there is sufficient fund in the account. All he will do is for him to stand as your sponsor. Minimum of 2million naira is okay for the bank statement during your application.

Hello house, I am an administrative staff of one of the federal university in Nigeria with annual gross of a little bit above 1million. I recently apply for a Master program in a south Africa university waiting for the university to reply anytime from next week. My question is about financial bank statement in visa application process. One, can I use my salary account as a self sponsor. Note: cooperative contribution, and other charges are deducted from the source. Two, how much is advisable to have in my account balance, and lastly can I use my uncle as my sponsor even duo we bear different surname. Thank you in advance house.

.

Thank you.

Depends. Each of these travel coys av targets for airlines. Wakanow normally pushes sales for South African airways. While travelstart has slightly lower rates for Rwanda or Kenya airways. Jumia Travel is new in the business. Not sure how their rates are.

But from experience, I've used both wakanow and travelsrart. Travelstart makes you pay heavily for any change to your ticket after it has been booked. Wakanow is more reasonable. Also wakanow has more coverage as they have many travel centers around especially in and out of lag. With travelstart you just have to keep calling customer care if you have issues.

Rates are always slightly cheaper on travelstart tho. Especially for Rwanda and Kenya airways.

pls I have a friend who is south African coming to Nigeria, he was told to pay R6000 refundable fee which will be refunded if he returns, is there anyway he can avoid this ? I was told they won't refund him.



Thanks, its urgent

hello gurus in the house, please I hold a study permit(2nd year in SA) and will be rounding up my studies(honours) in November, so I want to apply for a work permit(critical skills possibly) I see in the requirement for the application that i need a Nigerian police clearance, please how do i go about getting the Nigerian police clearance?

Morning people. I applied for appointment date & time for South Africa visa application with VFS Lagos since Tuesday 3rd July but uptil now l have not received any reply from them regarding the date that should be given to me to submit my application and they supposed to reply within Two(2) business days but it's over 3 days now. I don't know what to do. Kindly help.

This should not be an issue, All you have to do is for you to go to any Police station in SA to do a finger print indicating Critical skill Visa. Then inform them that you will be sending it to Nigeria. Once you get that you can send it to someone in Nigeria via courier to do the clearance for you at Alagbon then the person will send the polica clearance cerificate back to you in SA.

Include your personal bank statement if you feel the SOA is low, proof of fund is very key to securing a visa.

Hi guys okay so I’m renewing my study visa and I have one year left on my passport tho I wanna apply for two years . Immigration says they’re gonna have to cancel my passport without prejudice because they can only renew it if it’s got 6 months left, my question is my application and school letter plus all documents are written with my passport number so if I get a new passport now would I have to redo everything? Like her new police clearance and all that? Thanks you and please it’s urgent .

Home affairs will never give you a visa that extends your passport expiry. Why would you need two more years? What are you studying? Anyways, your best bet is to apply now and get a visa till your passport expires. I don't know how getting a new passport works if the old one has not expired.

If you don't av an offer from SA yet, you don't need any undertaken from letter from any employer.
Simply apply with the form, radiological and medical report, certified yellow fever and passport data pages , your bank statement, a letter of self introduction, a proof of membership with Iitpsa, a proof of your critical skills issued by iitpsa, certified copies of your credentials degrees and certifications, attach your Resume, a page of the home affairs gazette that includes your named critical skill. Attach any motivation letters from any current employers or referree. You'll also need to attach saqa certificate, Nigerian police clearance. I think I have tried. Make sure your resume and degrees relate to the said critical skill.

Then make the application. You'll be issued a one year critical skills visa once your documentation is valid.

What is the minimum amount one needs to have in his account statement in other to apply for the critical skill visa?

At least enough to cover for a return ticket. About 3k to 5k rands equivalent

Thank you for your response. In the application form where you are asked to state your Available funds, are you expected to have in your account statment your departure/return flight fee, hotel fee, maintenance fee and other funds you need to settle down with in SA before you get a job?if not, will 300k account statement be okay?

Good morning house,
Please I need your assistance.
Someone is trying to help with my SAQA to go for my PhD in SA and I gave her all the certified coloured photocopy of my certificates ( certified from the school), but on reaching SA, she told me that the fee for the first certificate has increased from R1000 to R1600 and subsequent certificates increased too from July 1st.
She also told me that SAQA won't be accepting the school certified copies again and I need to go and do black and white photocopy and certified in court.
And also, with the increment in fee, she will be submitting only BSc and MSc certificates to SAQA.
Right now, I'm so so confused, please help me out.
If she submit only the two, will it not affect my admission?
Do I need to go through all these?
Is there alternative way for these?
Thank you.

Sorry for that. But there is no other way around it. Someone I know did his own and has is admission plus study visa for PhD too.
