South African Visa. by fris(m): 3:05pm On Aug 30, 2010
Hello fellow nairalanderz.

I have gathered a lot of information from here about visas and stuffs.Right now,I want to apply for a South African Visa for 1 week vacation.

I have been very nervous on how to go about the first step.Most travel agents i contacted charged me #130 000 or #180 000.But i am someone that told myself i can do this alone with just the right information.


Firstly,I am a first time traveler with an E-passport.Below is the budget i created.

#
Visa fee : 10 000
Refundable repertory fee : 83 000
Hotel 7 days : 75 000
Flight : 112 500
Tour total : 81 750 (To be paid for tour guidance around Jo'burg)
BTA (1000$) : 150 000

Total : 512 250


Aside all this are there any other things needed that makes these travel agents charge like they are the Embassy? They scared me that i won't be given without proper documents even though i did all this legit.

Please i need the address of South African embassy in Lagos.I saw many address online and don't know which is which.


I can get my statement of account.Also pay all this fund in advance.The hotel,Ticket and a prove of the 1000$ in my domicile.

Is there anything else i need?.I want to do this alone but with all information.Also the refundable fees.Do i pay it along with the visa fees?

Do i pay for the hotel,Flight and tour all at once before i take all receipt and documents to apply in person?.

With these questions answered i should be good to go and i will let you all know when i got the visa.Thanks.

I just want to start my traveling experience with SA then Europe next year.Don't like the sound of a first time traveler. No Time.

Thanks

My dear i will advise you to forget about SA and travel to another country or you have ursef to blame.
If you doubt it you can try and and see what am telling you.
That embassy is not organise at all.
They will stress you, take your money and at same time deny you.
It is the most difficult country to get visa especailly for vacation, even to enter inside the embassy is war.
You will fight, bribe yet you will not succeed.
The visa fee is 8,600.00 and 1050 bank charges, 120,000 for repatiration fee all this you will pay into the diamond bank but repatiration is not for everybody you might be lucky they wont ask for it.
Submission of application is by appointment ie you will get appointment first before you submit but to enter inside the embassy and get that appointment and even to submit is now a big prob.
Infact the story too much,
Go and try first good luck,

Don't mind the people making hell out of the visa processing exercise, if the embassy in lagos is like the other guy explained, come to the embassy in USUma street maitama in Abuja, once u have all these stuff ready, you'll be issued your visa, it's the touts in Lagos that are conniving with the embassy officials to make the process difficult.
You have the rights to travel to anywhere you want to.

With all what is going on here in SA, some people even want to come here, what a world? Poster why cant you try another country?
Re: South African Visa. by fris(m): 5:49am On Sep 05, 2010
Hello Fellow Nairalanderz.

I took your advise and went myself and to my surprise.That is no embassy. Tout is the consulate.Right from outside they run to you and guarantee you visa and even go ahead to tell you if you go inside yourself and do all process they will personally hand over your passport without visa.

I was surprised.The SA embassy has allowed Nigerian tout to collect bribes for everything.Well after a two days stress.I finally gave in to one of my Agent in my street.To save me all stress and documents.What a country.I thought i could do it all by myself with legit documents but when i got there.all they want is pay an agent to pay them their commission and get your visa.I should bone the legit documents.We are in Nigeria.I told one of them i just want to go for one week Tour and vacation and nothing more.I love my country.I just needed a rest in SA and be back here but still they said even it is one day.I will still go through the process.

I was pissed but what can i do.I want to visit SA and visit some sights and my friends then be back.Well This was my experience.The agent charged #180 000 Hard earned money.To pay #50 000 first and after visa #130 000 to save me all the headache.Well what can i do.I succumb and paid. It should be out in 3 weeks as promised by the agent in my street.He does it always and i had him sign all undertaken too just in case.

But why can't someone get visa with ease to our brother country in Africa.Even to Ghana through road.You will pay bribes almost at every boarder.

Hot air! Absolutely nonsense, who give a monkey abt where u are?

Yes pple use agents but those agents are genuine, registered and trusted, not criminals with pay-as-you-go phone numbers and gmail email addresses. Why should anybody hand over his or her documents to street touts like you?
Something that was supposed to be easy and straight forward is ruined by shameless morons like you.

@jot01
u are the architect of ur problem, u implicitly said u do visa from ur statement.
Getting visa shouldn't be tedious once ur doc are in tact but we tend to complicate things for others. y?
alot of people had been scammed on NL, i once fell into it for real (over 300k) before finally processing it myself without an agent. And that's y i support and will continue to support justwise cos if i heard listen i won't av been dumped,
once ur doc are complete and legit it isn't a big deal but Nigers will just want out by all means,
we need people that will help stop scammers if not completely but at least limit there activities.
believe me those words u said will backfire if u don't reverse it fast just an advice a word is enough for the wise,

Re: South African Visa. by Nobody: 1:35pm On Sep 06, 2010
@motiwakeup,
We all knw wat is obtainable in most of dis Embassy in 9ja. Honest speaking, go to these embassy(ies) and c 4 ursef. Touts had almost taken over d embassy themselves. Personally, i dnt support scam/scammers/agent on dis forum. A friend of mine has been douped twice by these theives that called themselves Visa Agent. But to get wat u want, one may decide 2 use any geniune one (agent).
I'm nt against any forumite fighting scams because i do fight against them too. But accusing people falsely is wat i personally hate here. We 've folks that tends "2 knw all".
i'm not here to fight any1 BUT just 2 learn and make new friends. Peace be to ALL!
