manikky:
hello guys. kudos for all the help and support on this thread.
one of our brothers needs urgent advice here ooo.

he was on postgraduate studies at one of the universities here and on completion he applied for masters. by October ending he contacted the sch for letter to for continuing so as to renew his permit that would expire DEC 31st. the international office gave him a letter for renewal for his master's degree and he applied for renewal.
the prob now is that 2 week ago the department he applied to now called that they would not be able to take him cos they have a lot of south Africans that applied for the same course and they have to take them first.
however, he applied to two other schls before for masters and now the 2 other universities have given him admission but he has already used the letter from the first univ and applied for renewal before the latest development from the department.

please what is the best thing to do now?
urgently need ur advice here guys....TYPOP, Samtol4, manager007, chemachie, and others......

@ofon15 please what are the documents to upload?thanks.

samtol4:
.Go and submit your application bros.if the school wrote 1year on your letter you will be given 1year study permit and they have written 3years so that embassy can give u @least 2years permit so that if you don't finish within stipulated time(1year)you will not have any reason to visit home affairs to renew permit .What is written on your admission letter does not determine duration of your programme.

cutieme:
@yinksob002please how do one apply for a postgraduate course over there please can you link me to a school and direct me on how to go about it?thanks.

Shine1177:
Thank you for this information. Do you mean to type N18,600 @ the highlighted.

Cypha8:
Contact Wits international office, they should be able to provide assistance with off campus accommodation. ask them to issue a letter stating this. That's what I used for my application.

Best wishes...

samtol4:
Oga don't create unnecessary problem for yourself .You are not expected to pay any money until u arrive the school since the fees are not stated on admission letter .Please provide all the documents stated in the letter and apply to the embassy for your permit.

Cypha8:
This is strange. Or maybe they don't know the estimated fees for 2015 yet? But why do you need to pay any fees? Is it a requirement for study permit application? I didn't see anything like that on the checklist. If you have all your supporting documents, go ahead and lodge your study permit application. I did mine two days ago.

Best wishes...

dafemnet:
Hello Guys,i want to apply for South African Tourist Visa,pls i want to know how many Months they will issue and pls is it Multiple Entry Visa?

Cypha8:
Luck you. I tried using credit card today, I got confirmation on the online payment page, but when I switched back to Momentum page, nothing happened. Didn't get a bank notification either. I don't want to do the online payment thing twice. Please any idea of other alternative ways to pay? This is the last bit remaining before applying for study permit...

Thanks.

Aboderinkay:

tsd:

Kindly assist,because I wish to do the submission this friday(24th Nov,2014)

HumbledbYGrace:
which school is that? (Second question)

HumbledbYGrace:
Hi,

Momentum is one of the most trusted medical scheme in S.A, go for it, you will never regret it. That means S.A embassy will have no problem issuing your visa.

yinksob002:
After accepting the offer of admission, do i need to wait for a letter of acceptance from the school before i can proceed with other steps required to obtain a study visa. Kindly advise..

TYPOP:
Congrats. Glad I could help.

sovpounds:
Enjoy your stay and have fun. Hope you enjoyed d training as well. Rgds

I flew to Johannesburg on October 8 and I have been having fun here. I have lived in Europe but I am still impressed with the level of development I have seen here. With the quality of infrastructure and standard of living I have seen here, I think the "rebasing" of the GDP of Naija makes no sense to the average man on the street. Even if the GDP of Naija is higher as a result of the "rebasing" the standard of living of the average person is far higher in SA. I have been continously shocked by several stuff I have seen here and I have been crying for Naija since I got here.

I would return to Naija on October 14, I hope the many beautiful girls with big backsides that I have seen here don't make me extend my 5 day trip.

Cypha8:
Yeah I received mine last week, which was three weeks late than my postgraduate administrator told me I will get it. So it may be due to internal delays from your department or faculty. Anyways, we're not in October yet which is when letters are mostly issued. I was told the same but requested the faculty to flag my application with my department so it can move through quickly...

Best wishes mate...
