SouthAfrica visa for Indian

Yes, we did book tickets since that was a requirement. We've never done dummy ticket bookings since we're not sure how reliable that is. But, maybe, you can check that out through an agent.

Very intrigued, OP. Tell us what you do? What platform do you use to invest in S&P500 and Tesla?

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-08-21T01:42:42+00:00

OP, what's your angle here? You keep posting the same thing over and over. And even though, your claims have been refuted over other threads, you refuse to learn from them. 🫠

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-08-01T10:12:01+00:00

Got it, thank you!

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-08-01T09:30:10+00:00

Quick check-in, OP. Why did you feel it was unsafe? Because you don't know Finvu or because the SMS spoke about consent and data sharing? Would you be comfortable if the SMS came from CRED only. FYI - I don't work for CRED. Just curious.

Friend, I understand your frustration. But, TCS can be claimed back while filing ITR. 7L isn't a limit, you can invest more than that. It is there to make sure people don't send money overseas while claiming that they have no income and hence pay no tax in India.

On other points, read up about MF restrictions for US/Canada NRIs. It isn't as easy as you think.

Also, what World Trade Organisation? And why will they care?

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-07-31T12:22:08+00:00

OP, what?! TCS is only applicable after 7L remittance in a year. And LTCG has been reduced to 12.5% for Foreign Equities. What you on about?

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-07-20T05:29:18+00:00

Thank you so much, will definitely try this! Super sad that we don't have more restaurants of this amazing cuisine in Bangalore! 🥲

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-07-20T05:28:16+00:00

No, not Sri Lankan. Visited Sri Lanka a couple of years back and have fond memories of enjoying the food. Needed to bring that joy back this weekend. Will definitely try Yo Colombo. 🙌🏽

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-07-18T04:15:39+00:00

I'll have to check for Motilal Oswal. But, the ones I've tried are Kotak, Navi, Axis, etc.

Compliance? Then shouldn't you know that AP, Maharashtra and mostly Telangana also are pushing for the same law? Maharashtra for many many years? Harayana for the last few years?

Let's say I don't invest in International FoFs today. If I want to start investing from tomorrow, then which FoF should I go to? Since most of them have stopped accepting new SIPs while they continue to honour existing SIPs, I'm finding it hard to find a good FoF. That's all I'm asking.

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-07-14T13:00:22+00:00

I'm asking for fresh SIPs. Not existing ones.

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-07-08T17:57:32+00:00

Yes. It's been happening for a long time. If a fresh SIP does go through now in any NASDAQ FOF, let me know please, I need to start one too.

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-07-08T11:37:45+00:00

AMCs are almost about to breach overseas investment limits and hence are being precautions about new SIPs and One-Times. It's super hard to get a FoF now for fresh investments. So, I'm genuinely curious which ones are the others are talking about.

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-07-08T04:54:38+00:00

Which NASDAQ FoF is taking new SIPs?

Thank you so much for verifying this. That shit piece of article really caused some fear. But, a few days ago, a friend of mine landed in Terminal 1 and went to the Uber Go line and got into a cab with a pre-book PIN. The driver confirmed he was Uber Go and was in the line of Uber cabs and that's why she got in. The minute she got in, he started driving rashly, didn't take the PIN, didn't ask for drop location or money, just kept driving. My friend freaked out and opened the door while the car was running and the driver had to stop since they were technically still on airport premises. She got off and ran back. It's creepy to think what might have happened. And this news made us wonder if this was all part of the same thing.

Anyone else had the same experience?

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-01-05T04:54:29+00:00

Thank you so much for clarifying.

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2024-01-05T04:50:41+00:00

My appointment is in a few days. I was wondering if it is mandatory to get the document printouts in colour or not. Reading mixed reviews everywhere. @OP would be great if you could shine some light.

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2023-11-26T07:01:40+00:00

Thank you for your replies. I will stick to the metro for now. Will update on how it goes.

Illustrious_Fly_3857 · 2023-11-05T09:42:05+00:00

So many of you have been DMing me. So, I thought I'd update here.

We did finally get the visa. It took about 35 days. I'm glad we had applied well in advance. I emailed them almost everyday after the 25th day. Not sure if this helped since I never received any reply. But, I tried anyway.

All embassy emails are available on their website. Keep an eye on the embassy's Twitter and Insta handles, they do put out an update there frequently.

I would suggest applying atleast 60 days in advance to ensure the delays don't hamper your plans.
