Just come with warm clothing.
If you are a first timer in temperate climates, it may be really cold but overall the temperatures are increasing so you should be fine.

I dont have a job yet. You only need about 600k or more. The most important thing is that all document required from you must be available, Genuine... I went extra.. Sent my CV, degree certificate and Copies of Certification Exams i did. Plus i had 5 Years on my passport. On the application form, I asked for 5 years even when i i dont have a job. All these could have worked in my favor. Prayer is key too

Hi...good people, I need to visit SA for a week leave from work. How do I do this myself please?

Good evening all
I want to appreciate everyone who has meaningfully contributed on this thread.

Pls I need your advise on this issue.

I would like to do my PhD in SA.

I understand that Master in Nigeria has an equivalent of 'Grade 9' by SAQA evaluation

Is lecturing one of the critical skills or I have to apply for Professional certification through Teacher Registration Council of Nigeria or get certified through its counterpart in SA.

Thanks.

Finally, any hope of securing a job at the completion of my PhD in SA?

Nope.. I dont have a Job in S.A Yet.. Just started applying after i got the Visa. I work in I.T. I hope to get something soon tho..

When you dont have saqa certificate and u expect agent to manufature certificate for you then you have yourself to blame . You can't blame agent when fake docs are submitted especially docs from SA.

@Sultan003

please can you put me through the process of evaluation with ECSA, As I'm in Nigeria. Do I have to do the evaluation with MIE first?

Thanks for your response.
I have booked for room there but their mode of payment is that you will pay when you get there.My concern is that will the guys at the POE allow this as I have not paid for the hotel.

Somebody need to come and share more light on this biko.

I don't want to hear stories abeg.

They have whatsapp number on their website to chat with them. You will need to pay a night or two and discuss with them that you will pay d remaining days if you get there.

Don't travel without paying for a hotel because immigration may not allow u if they are unable to confirm your hotel.

Anyway am talking about my last year experience

No, it will be a waste of money.... jùst do the evaluation straight with ECSA... i dont know how long it takes now, but it is usually 2 to 3 months

postdoctoral graduates in any field from SA can apply for the critical skill.
i assume that your field is in education? go through the professional body in SA, TCRN is if you are planning to come back to nigeria and teach

Please kindly advise me.Do I send my transcripts by myself to SAQA or allow my university send directly by itself.

Please is it compulsory to have inflow and outflow of cash on the bank statement for the critical skill visa application?
