I see potentials in him than Alonso, but Conte will not just let him shine undecided

We keep saying, Don't Start Hazard as false 9, Use a striker etc. Good against small teams, but top teams I doubt.

Conte played with the formation last night to prove some points

1. Pedro offball movement is brilliant. He was using him along Alonso @wing & also to help Fab-Kante midfield combo. Hazard offball movement is weak.

I'm sure for that first goal, Pedro would have been the one to follow up messi.

2. Our strikers are lazy, Giroud can't chase at defenders well, Morata falls down easily etc

Almost feels like Conte started a striker to tell us “make una see am o! I don start striker, I am not at fault if we no still score”

To the mod that ban me, keep it up.

I never told her it is impossible. But difficult if the husband's permit is work restricted. In fact, there is a provision in the study permit application form for spouse to apply for accompany visa immediately.
I gave her my advice based on the information she provided.

She has visited the husband before on a visitors visa with the help of this forum. Now she wants to immigrate permanently as a Dependant (accompanying spouse) to meet her husband who is on a study permit that expires in December.

1. The husband is yet to successfully change his status to a work permit that allows him to work fully.
2, It is also proper for her to wait or go with a critical skill work permit that allows her to work full time if she qualifies for it. It's not mandatory to have a degree to qualify.

I have seen people with different immigration issues ranging from changing of status to registering their children in school due to the parents immigration status.

SA visitors visa is easy to get because the holder cannot change status inside South Africa. Many people are trapped because they refused to return back when their visa expired. They are unable to return back for proper permit as they will be given a ban at the airport. They are forced to buy fake visa stickers to avoid the Police and to get few things done which is illegal.

Let the poster post more information about the husband, then people will be able to advice her better.
She just asked documents for accompany visa, how long it takes and if she can work. You assumed the rest. Well she can provide more info.

Have a blessed day.

I never said all study permit comes with work restriction. It's up to the visa officer to decide. It could be on any study permit.

The holder of this study permit cannot write to SA embassy that he works part time, the permit might be cancelled.

If you are not yet convinced email or call South African embassy for clarification.

If you want to find out how to remove work restriction from a study permit inside SA read:

I have met a lot of students with this issue. I know what I am writing about.
The image you attached is a certificate course which amount to less than 30% of study permit. Including photography course, video shooting etc as i mentioned earlier.

Degree courses >6 months such as Bsc Bsc(hons) MSc PhD constitute almost all of the acclaimed study visas (<70%), and non is work prohibited. The VO decides based on this.

You said almost all which gives a false impression or have you seen a BSC, MSc, or PhD study permit with work Prohibition?

that’s what he may have told you, how about his wife’s account? Will you advise a man brings his spouse over with 3k rand with no job or with 3k rand with a job or perhaps a work permit that lets him get a good job. And again, the lady in question is looking to work with the said visa. I would think we give appropriate advices considering the situation properly even when it seems the out come of an event is possible.
The analogy you gave to the lady was assuming her husband can't afford the expenses. You don't even know if he's a recipient of R120k per annum NRF bursary. Or a PhD student with fundings & also get enough money working part-time.

Schooling in SA is different from Nigeria. Enough do afford to bring their family to SA while studying its no big deal.

I don't know what was obtainable before now, but I have secured 3 South African visas, 2 for short visits and 1 study permit. On the two short term visas were written, work is prohibited. But for the study permit, no such condition attached.
Can I work? Yes absolutely, but only for a limited number of hours as it will be determined by my university.
Thank you.

Study permit if its an exchange course, video shoot school, photography school etc can be work prohibited. But degree, diploma, masters, PhD can never be work prohibited and this is the most study permit type.

You can work as a postgraduate for up to 20hrs a week. On campus or outside. Undergraduate 10hrs a week.

Visas are not issued based on bank balance alone but the source of income and the overall situation of the applicant.
I am very sure in her husband's study permit there is a clause that states "work is prohibited". So, what will be his source of income if he sends his bank statement.
You think the visa officer will not care about it.

My point is, the husband cannot act as sponsor if he has a study permit with work restriction on it. Except his source of income is outside SA or he is allowed to work in SA.
Are you saying the poster can apply for accompanying visa as a dependant of a work restricted study permit holder. My friend, it's not a visitors visa she is applying for.
You're very sure like you approved the visa.

Stop spreading fake news on public forum by saying all study permit comes with a work prohibited clause. Most study permits comprises of Bsc Bsc(hons), Msc, PhD and non is work prohibited as they are TRV with atleast a year program.

About sponsor, this is not Uk, Canada or Australia where the VO will check relationship on who is sponsoring you. SA study permit can be sponsored by friends, Uncle, etc without showing how related the person is to you or why they wanna spend hard cash on you.

I quoted you because of this fake lies about study permit

Do your research well. Almost all comes with a condition or clause not to work.

the argument was uncalled for. When all the papers are submitted, it will depend on whether the amount in the account will be sufficient and I am not sure a Nigerian account will work. I guess we both know what the means. I will advise she goes with inofta’s advice on waiting till study is completed.
It's not about what you think is better.

Allot of Nigerians with study visa have wives here with accompany spousal visa. It's not necessarily they have a fat ending statement of account or wait till study finish. All they want to see is good cash in flows. A friend got his wife the visa with less than R3k balance on his Absa statement.

Study permit holders in South Africa are not allowed to work. What he does on the side for money is considered illegitimate by law. If both of you can prove you have sufficient money to take care of your living expenses in SA without working illegally then the visa will be approved.

My advice:
Wait for him to complete his study in December, he can apply for a work or critical skill permit. If he has offer of employment while applying he can add you as accompanying spouse immediately.

Or you can apply for critical skill permit separately in Nigeria if you qualify.
The lady in question was talking about herself not the husband.
Shoyomi:
Dear Nairalanders,

First of all, i want to appreciate this platform for being so informative and educative, it really helped me while i was applying for a South African Visa for the first time and was granted the visa 20 days after the application (even though i have never traveled out of the country before, i.e my passport was clean and clear..). Anyway, i have come to seek your help again. Will be joining my husband in South Africa by July, 2018, though he's on Student Visa which will expire by 31st Dec. 2018, my question is this, what are the required documents needed in processing an Accompanying Spouse Visa?, How long does it take to process the said visa? Will i be allowed to work over there?

Thanking you in anticipation of your quick response.
He need to sent you his study permit page, proof of residence, passport page, bank statement, proof of registration. You need to submit your marriage certificate also. Its a straight forward process & you will be granted if all documents are complete. Check vfs for other documents.

I don't think you can work with the accompanying spouse visa. There would certainly be a clause.

If there is no condition on the permit the holder is allowed to work part time 20 hours per week.
Again, not almost all. Non of these degrees is less than a year. It's temporary residence visa given over 6 months of study.

Full time towards a degree can't come with condition not to work. It's not like an exchange program, music school, video shoot school, or technical college.

Bsc, Bsc(hons), MSc, PhD fulltime can't come with a clause not to work.
