Hello,

You will need to do some research yourself. Go to Job Sites and browse through. That would give you more insight about Job opportunities for your field.

They don't ask for bta at OR thambo but those beggars in uniform at mmia may tell you that's it not enough, so you will have to stand your ground.

If you are a minimalist spender $300 may be enough for you by whiskers but if you have access to other funds, you are good to go.

The major issue are those uniformed rogues at mmia

I’ve also lived in SA for two years whilst schooling so I dunno what he’s talking about damn hater
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by slickruler: 2:56pm On Dec 18, 2018
Dude you need to chill tho. Relax. get into the Country.. Stay Lowkey. Study your environment. See howfa your accommodation is from School. Explore your options on transporting to school. Why would you want to move electronics?? You can travel with your Gaming Console and laptops tho.


mrcodebreaker:
Guys what areas should l look at when looking for accommodation close to WITS. I am thinking of buying a car. To get around, do I need it? Also is it possible to have a part time job while studying for an honours program?

How can I ship some things to SA like personal goods eg Electronics. Who has a contact or connect?

Also the car prices in SA are so high when you convert it. I was even thinking of shipping my car and turning it to left hand, but I know thats ridiculous. my car is sold double the price in SA on gumtree and olx.

I hope moving to SA is a good thing. Anyone has any input?
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by slickruler: 6:00am On Dec 17, 2018
Dont mind the clown.. South Africa is actually a great Country.. This is my Third month working there.. Infact Nigerians are RESPECTED by other Foreign Nationals because of how they stand up to South Africans.. In the area where I live. Nigerians are treated as Kings because they broke the Rich-White Dominance of that Area.


qalifa:
This is just ignorant talk I’ve been schooling in Sa and have been the only black student in my school for years and haven’t experienced racism or xenophobia so what you saying bro ��‍♂️ You even been to SA before ?

Congrats Bro... 3months, 3 weeks.. Jeez


Sandhill:
I got my CSV on Friday, for a job I should have resumed a month ago after I had applied 3 months 3 weeks ago.

In everything I remain grateful to God, especially since its been issued. But I'd say this, try to get someone with leg to have a look at your application If you are in a similar position.

I don't have information on how helped me so asking me won't help you. I just knew someone who knew someone who knew someone and it got issued in 2 days.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by slickruler: 4:24pm On Dec 03, 2018
This actually too much.. You can book any Flight without making Payment. It expires two days later so its advisable that you book it A day or on the day of Submission. When Printing the flight ticket make sure you cut out the portion of Expiry date. Try Kenya or Ethiopian Air

igweifeanyi24:
the person that I got for the verifiable flight booking told me 5k

friend is it too much?
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by slickruler: 4:21pm On Dec 03, 2018

Pls can we talk privately, i know someone who may be interested. Though he wants one year sublease.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by slickruler: 8:31pm On Dec 02, 2018
I think SO... it was applicable for me too...my Passport expires June 2023.. they have me till June 2023..

Meanwhile, anybody applying for Critical Skills, I advise you make sure you have close to 5 Years Validity on your Passport. That wold influence the duration they would give you. Once you come over you can apply for PR

bLacKGoLd3:
Ah, I see they don't go past the validity of your passport.

Oh well, all the best in SA.

I work in IT.

1. Get Critical Skills Visa
2. Aggressively Search for Jobs. Depending on your skills and experience.
3. Be Dogged about the process, it can be frustrating atimes but let Naija wahala be the fuel you need to ginger yourself.

Congrats,

Did you get a job before leaving Nigeria or it was when you arrived there? Also, what's your field?
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by slickruler: 9:32am On Oct 10, 2018
Day 7 in the country.. Day 3 at Work. This is actually a beautiful country. Everything Organized but things are quite expensive. Only God knows when Nigeria will get things right and to this Level. There are lots of Nigerians residing in the neighborhood i stay and its actually one of the Safest hood (according to other Nationalities). If you are planning on applying for Critical Skills, You need to push on it. Election is next Year and a New Government might come and change everything. Make I face work now.. Cheers.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by slickruler: 9:27am On Oct 10, 2018
What Sites are you applying with?

Try pnet, Indeed, Gumtree, LinkedIn. ALso Remember you really have to work in your field. If you can take any valid Job, you probably will be able to reapply for Critical Skills.

There is a document Posted here... Scroll up a bit and search for the Skills that matches your current job. Research for the Organization/Body that regulates your field. I am from IT Background. So i joined IITPSA. Dont Forget SAQA. SAQA evaluates your Nigerian Degree and grades it to SA standard. Its a step by step process and try not to cut corners. If you have ACCA it would be of great advantage to you. Cheers

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


paulavon:
Congratulations, please try and guide others too.Do you have a job already in SA for you to be given 5yrs Visa? What range of funds do you have in the account statement that you submitted?

Hi Guys...

I need some advice. Will be applying for Critical Skills Work Visa.

1. I have gotten every documents i need to get (SAQA, CSA letter from IITPSA, Police report, Medicals). I need advice on how much should be enough for Proof of Funds.

2. Since i don't have an employer yet, i heard i would be given 1 year visa to sort myself out then reapply again later. (How true is this)

3. I also need a template for the Introduction Letter. (kindly send to slickrule@gmail.com)

Please help where you can before Agents chop my money. I believe everybody was a novice at one point on this issue. Thanks in advance.
