@Juwohn, thank you for your advice.

Juwohn:
1kobo advice, use Momentum

Hello my good people of Nairaland,

Has anyone used compcare medical plan lately? (for study permit). I learnt the SA embassy in Lagos rejected the plan few Months ago. I want to know if they are accepting it now. Thank you.

samtol4:
when are u likely to leave Nigeria?

With the present calculation on the ground, I should leave Nigeria by the 1st or 2nd week of April.

Kentrasso:
I don't think there's an office in Nigeria. It's mostly online. But you can contact them as they're 'email friendly'.

antoinette.nell@momentum.co.za

These are some I know

Goodluck

Thank you, I should send e-mail to them today.

Kentrasso:
Yes you can use University hospital for your tests.
And there's no need to pay repatriation fee again. It's been cancelled.

As for health scheme, I am aware that your application could be rejected if you use a wrong scheme. The other acceptable one is compcare but the consulate rejects it now

Thank you for your replies. Your comments have been of tremendous help. God bless you and other Nairalanders.

A month is R349 and 12months will be 4188. I was in their office last week and that still remain the official price

Thank you all. Can you give me the office address of the momentum in Nigeria, if there is any. I would love to visit their office. Thanks.

Many thanks Kentrasso and bisi16. I have started making the move already. I did an assessment of the health coverage for 1 year on ingwehealth website and got R4, 290 which is equivalent to almost 86,000 Naira, pls is there any other health firm where I can get a much more affordable option? Also, as a scholarship holder, is the repatriation fee compulsory? Lastly, can I use a University health clinic for my Xray and other medical tests, for example the University of Ibadan health centre?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you @Kentrasso for shedding light on my request, I am very grateful. Any suggestion on the airline to SA where one can book without paying?

Dear Nairalanders,

Thank you for the robust discussions on the SA visa here. I have been reading through your comments since about 2 hours ago when I stumbled on this thread. Please, I need your advice.

I just secured a scholarship opportunity to do a Phd in the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in SA. I finished the selection process yesterday with a skype intervw and the Prof. in charge of the selection congratulated me that I have been selected. However, he told me that I should start the process of obtaining my study permit immediately. He said the school will mail the admission/scholarship offer to me in the next 2 days to start the visa process. I just want to get some info ahead as I am expecting their letter. Here are my questions:

(1) Where do I start from and how do i get the SA visa application form? Is it available online?

(2) I read about the medical insurance, Xray and yellow fever card, where do i get these? Any hospital accepted or there are designated clinis by the SA Authority in Nigeria?

(3) Since I have been offered a scholarship, do i still need a fat bank account statement? or I should just print my normal bank statement with less than 50k balance in it to show financial responsibility.

(4) Do i need to book flight ticket ahead before filing my visa application? Because I have been reading about this and became confused.

(5) Pls, some of you that are already in SA, how sufficient is 100,000 rands to study Phd in SA? I was told that is the value of the scholarship and I just want to know this before leaving so I can prepare ahead.

(6) Any other information that you think is necessary for me to know will be appreciated too.

God bless you my people.

Can someone shed light on securing PhD admission in Finland please..
