I'm about to apply for a tourist visa. I have my documents. My uncle is a South African Citizen, he sent me his notarized SA passport, house papers, bank papers and invitation letter. I will be applying with my mom as she's also included in the invitation letter.
Please how much is the visa fee now?

Has anyone travelled to South Africa recently?
Did you have to undergo new covid-19 test on arrival and did you have to pay out of pocket or it was free?

There is no need for a repeat PCR test here once you have a valid test result of not more 98hrs before your arrival.

Acceptable one by your school MUST be stated in your admission letter. However, Momentum ingwe is still best for foreign students. Also, you only need to pay on yearly basis.

Please can anyone help with where I can do covid-19 test at reduced cost? I spoke with VFS agent and she said they don't have centre in Lagos yet.

Congratulations...Were you able to track your application through out the process. If yes, how?
The VFS online tracking option is no longer available
you can also book covid 19 test on VFS website and it is cheaper than at Afriglobal

If you are married and you wish to take your spouse and/or children along, you may have to get your marriage and birth certificates certified at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The first time I went for submission, I was turned back! I had to go to Abuja to get them certified before I could submit.

@Charlroy

@Charlroy, are you currently on a CSV in SA? If yes, what critical skill are you on? How can one quickly secure a job in SA based on the CS he or she got the visa on? If the CSV was got without arranged employment and initial 12-month visa was given, what job portal can you recommend which one can use to be able to get job on time?

Many questions....

Hey @qhunlay:

No I am not on a critical skills visa, I am a South African immigration consultant. I assist people in applying for South African visas.

I would recommend the following websites for looking for jobs:

1. https://www.careerjunction.co.za/
2. https://www.careers24.com/

@ oluyinkavic

It can be from a private hospital or government hospital, as long as the medical forms are completed by a registered doctor.

If you guys need assistance check out my website and contact me.

A friend told me that there's high rate of unemployment in SA. Will SA be a good choice for study and work especially in the IT field?

Is there work permit & PR?

Can I go with my wife when going for study as long as there's fund?

Which schools are good and safe for IT?
