How do I get a UK student visa?
I'm in the U.K now on a Working Holiday Maker Visa. I'm quite keen in going to a nearby college. How do I obtain a student Visa, roughly how much will it cost & Can I apply for it in the U.K, or will I have to go back to South Africa first?

You just have to have enrollment papers that show that you are a student and you are paying tuition. The Enrollment papers were all I needed anyway. Hmmm. You don't like real advice I see. Thanks for the thumbs down. Glad you appreciated it. ;) Well its not rocket science. Figure it on your own then. I did.

Don't know in what country you reside! But over most off the world a student loan is never written off. Not even if you declare bankruptcy. Would be very dumb if they did. Everyone takes a loan, studies and disappears as soon as he/she is qualified? Not good business!! Peace.

My personal opinion would be that you should ideally finish your IT masters in the US rather than in SA - that way you have more international options. Most places give additional training to their employees when they start so that they can some specialised knowledge for any particular field. Unfortunately, at the moment the IT industry is relatively saturated so you'd have to have a rather obscure specialisation (ie: mainframe programming) to really stand out from the crowd. Luckily for you though, being Indian you could benefit from the BEE system we have in place which puts you closer to the top of the list for when companies are hiring. You should be fine here and have a great time. The crime can be a small worry if you're not familiar with an area or you stop paying attention to whats going on around you.

What do you think of South Africa?
What do you think of South Africa?
In my opinion SA is one of thee most beautiful countries in the world but it may loose its beauty because of the direction the country is heading in. The crime rate is ridiculously high. The Aids epidemic is out of control. BEE (Black Economic empowerment) has ruined business ethics because the goverment is offering loads of benefits if you hire black people. The Freeland issue - where people build shacks(zink houses) on any property thats vacant even private property. The corruption in goverment is so much that its scary. The goverment is not looking after the country _- Litter is a major issue. Minoritys like Indians, whites & coloureds have very little job opportunities available to them. Black students in SA expect to have free education from Grade 0 - University while the minority's have to pay. SA is becoming a waste, its sad that a beautiful, rich & clean country has turned into a total mess. You may ask how do i know , well I live in SA.

I am so sorry...I have seen it on TV...looks beautiful. The people in charge must notice this ???? Doesn't seem like much of a future there....can you relocate ?

Funny that you have brought these issues up at a time when I was thinking of taking my next vacation there. I actually have been chatting with a lady from the Cape Town area and have become somewhat enchanted, however, with what you have to say and what I have read online, I don't feel like going there and spending money to promote what I feel is a loss to natural selection through man's law...if you know what I mean. It is sad to hear and see it happening in my own country....USA.

I wish you white South Africans could stop moaning. In my view South Africa IS one of the most beautiful places ever, and after all the time the whites had it all their way, it is, in my view, understandable that the majority want their slice of the cake as well. There is still only a tiny black middle class, and a huge black and couloured proletariat. I can see the problems, but also the wonderful people of all shades who will make it work in the long run. The pity is that too many whites refuse to take a real part, of course they are not exactly encouraged, but what do you expect? As long as they still possess so much more of the wealth they should not complain. These days South Africa is full of opportunities, it does not have to be a state position. If I had the capital, for instance, I'd start a saddlery business in Cape Town tomorrow, the stuff you get in South Africa is quite inferior, and there are many such areas, where entrepreneurship could not only benefit the individual but also the whole country. Litter isn't even as bad as in Ireland, and the housing takes time, once there is an alternative people will stop building shacks all over the place. Living in Ireland we have grown accustomed to corruption, more or less, but there, also, it is down to individuals to demand more transparency and make public the cases they are aware of. I hope to retire to South Africa (which I visit nearly every year for at least 1 month) in a few years, so let's all hope for the best.

most places in South Africa live in Poverty, of course they would want to move to a place where homeless people still have access to clean drinking water and a running toilet. they have nothing there.

What type of passport do I need if I am traveling to various countries in Europe and Africa?
What type of passport do I need if I am traveling to various countries in Europe and Africa?
I am planning a trip to Europe (England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece) and then going down to South Africa/Egypt later on. What type of passport do I need, a passport for each country, a U.S. passport to get back? What? Also, I am a student so will I need a VISA for each country? Any answer will help! I understand that I am not a citizen of every country, and I don't expect to get numerous passports, but I need to know which ones.

You will need one passport from the country of which you are a resident. You may or may not need a visa, that's specific to each country but you shouldn't usually need a visa if you're staying less than 3 weeks in each place.
2 :
You'll need a full passport issued by the country you live in. You will probably need visas for most of the countries you travel to, but if you're a US citizen you may not need visas for European Union countries.
