Study
Please help, i have got a cousin who want to apply for a study permit. She studied primary and secondary in S.A without permit. Now she want to go to college. What are the procedures and how much would it cost to apply the study permit through Zimbabwe Offices

Thank you

@Ruru
I see on the VFS list they say testimonial must be signed ,on letterhead and stamped.If you can get a stamp ,the better.However they never mention that on employer contract (but if you can get one ,the better).

But there must be on letter heads and have signatures,as a bare minimum.I saw someone here whose application was refused because contract was NOT signed.Signatures are as crucial.Some small firms might not have stamps on their docs (my contract did not have it)

@Ruru
When I applied two years ago, they insisted on one despite the company letterhead and signature of the company rep (Director). To be safe, just get all your potential employer docs on a letterhead and stamped as a precautionary measure.

Relative Visa
Called VFS Bulawayo today enquiring about July 2018 relative visas. The gentleman who answered me said they have started receiving the outcomes for mid-May 2018 applications and said I should check on them end of next week.
