D medical because of the urgent timing it will not allow u to fully run all the test and xrays so if u can ur medical forms fill and stAmp by any Doctor in a govt hospital better for U. |

Hello Guys....I just want to know why the SA Embassy in Lagos is delaying in issuing Visa now a days...My mum applied for a Visa on the 4th of January and up-till now the only thing we get online (apart from the sms they sent to her) is that her application is been received and under assessment at South African High commission in Lagos. Moreover we dont know if she ll pay repartration or not as nothing as been sent to her. Is there anyone experiencing the same issue? What can be delaying them? Thanks and God Bless |

opsy4real1: do i need to go with copies of the documents i used to secure the visa?would the immigration officials ask for them?Go with your passport/visa, your ticket, hotel confirmation/letter of invitation, any form of identity card, repatriation receipt if you pay and try to have at least $500 in case if those hungry immigration officers ask of your BTA but i can assure you that nobody will ask you of BTA.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by collinsfbi(m): 10:30am On Feb 03, 2013 |
otemitayo:There is no way the embassy can process your application earlier than the normal processing time, in order for your application not to be delayed, make sure you submit complete and genuine documents and put up a details visa application letter, stating the date you got your final admission letter and deadline for registration in your school and that you will appreciate quick processing of your permit to enable meet up with the registration deadline. Besides, I think there is way you can do your registration from Nigeria, contact your school and let them know of your present predicament and let them inform you of what your need to do, such as study fee in which payment can be made from Nigeria. What school and in what part of SA is your school located? Gbamm over n out 2 Likes 1 Share |

Pls i need urgent reply.Invoice number is not the same with ticket number, until you make payment you cannot be issued ticket number. Since you are using online booking reservation, leave the space blank, with your reservation confirmation, they know you cannot have ticket number. Thank over n out 2 Likes 1 Share |

Please help...thanks man!You keep asking the same question for the past four months, did you abandon your admission from Britiish Academy? what about 150k in your acct? Has your aunt deposited that 200k in your acct now? The answers you seek now have given to you in the previous pages where you asked the same question.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by bobbyhenry: 1:54pm On Feb 03, 2013 |
collinsfbi: Thanks anyway but I have abandon the Film Academy because many people on NL said I should dis-virgin my passport first. I must confess to you, I've done lots of research to make it happen but still not working out. All I have now is 300k in my account as deposited by my aunty. All I wanna do is to visit SA for 2weeks all in the name of travelling experience...thats all. Try and understand my case. If I know better, I won't be coming here to bother you just like others. We see you as one who can give the helpful info and that is why we keep asking questions not to go astray. If am disturbing you, Abeg no vex o.... No vex huh? Bless You!!! |

Thanks as you reply asap. 1 Like 1 Share |

Good day all. Thank you so much to all you decent folk that have been contributing to this very informative thread. I apologize in advance for my longish post. Please indulge me a bit since it's my first time here. I reside in Europe and am sponsoring my younger brother in Nigeria for a 3 months Viisual art workshop at the Field and Study Centre Johannesburg, from 1 march - 31 May. We are applying for a 3 months tourist visa. I have a couple of questions/concerns, if you can please help me out. - I am the financial sponsor for this trip and have provided a) letter of financial sponsorship ; b) my 6 months bank account statement from Europe with adequate funds in it. c) My identification documents d) The visa application form. e) My brother's bank account statement with over 600k in it. f) I will be paying for his accommodation as well as ticket and money to eat and other stuff. g) The art studio sent an email confirming my payment and his participation in the workshop h) The art studio also sent a letter of invitation stating that he is coming to participate in the workshop and that I will be covering all expenses f) The owner of the art studio included her identification information My concerns: I just read in the last page of this thread that documents from the 'host' must be certified in South Africa. --Should I be concerned that neither of the docuements from the studio was 'certified'. I did not know about this until now and so never asked that they certify the letters. Our transactions have been via phone and email. We had done business before in Europe. The owners are not related to us or friends of ours. --Since they are not in anyway responsible for my brother financially, does the embassy need letter of invitation with bank statements from them? This is what the SA embassy emailed me when I started processing this and requested information from them . (If you are visiting a relative or a family friend you will need to attach these other documents; * Letter of invitation from the person living in South Africa with contact details, * Proof of residence in form of utility bills, * Certified copies of host’s passport data page. * Host’s statement of account) Obviously, staying in a hotel for 3 months is financial suicide. - Can anyone suggest any place to get affordable rooms with kitchen and bathroom? I have been stalking gum tree and not getting any good deals or completely ignored when I mention he is a 26 year old Nigerian man - Also when we find a place, are we to pay for the 3 months up front or will one month payment with a monthly rental contract suffice? If you have read this far and without clicking off, thank you for your patience. Your helpful suggestions/tips are welcome. If I have overlooked anything, please also point out to me because I want to make sure the package he applies with is correctly done. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by collinsfbi(m): 9:35pm On Feb 03, 2013 |
bobbyhenry:The 300k is ok but it's not the normal amount required for tourist visa though it all depend on the number of days or weeks you plan to stay in SA. With your 300k, I will advise you to reduce your stay to a week when you fill in your visa form so as to reduce your hotel booking charges and to avoid denial as a result of insufficient fund. Let your flight reservation also cover one week. As for your lump-sum deposit from your aunt, let her write your letter of introduction because she's the one sponsoring your trip and let her attach a court affidavit of sponsorship with her bank statement and her data page. When your visa comes out then you book your ticket to cover the number of days or weeks you really plan to stay. Gbamm over n out |

I reside in Europe and am sponsoring my younger brother in Nigeria for a 3 months Viisual art workshop at the Field and Study Centre Johannesburg, from 1 march - 31 May. We are applying for a 3 months tourist visa.If you are going to sponsor your brother then you have a role to play in terms of documentation, all the documents highlighted above are in order but try as much as possible to include court affidavit of sponsorship. You also have to write a detail letter of introduction, stating your relationship and many more attach to all your document and include your brother statement of account and invitation letter of participation from SA. As for document certification issue, documents from recognised institution do not need certification but document from individual for instance if your brother is going to be accommodated by someone in SA then such documents from the person must be certified. If for instance there is no letter of invitation from anybody, the embassy will definitely expect your brother to provide accommodation to cover the whole three months and that maybe difficult, I will advise you to officially state two weeks or a week on your visa application form but then your brother will not include the letter of participation from SA and he must not disclose his real intention and the letter of introduction from you will only state that your brother is going on holiday. Without much ado, if you guys are financially buoyant, then you can arrange for accommodation payment to cover the whole three months. Better still, you can look for an hotel where you can pay for a week or two and make reservation for the whole three months on the condition of balance payment either on arrival or at the expiration of the initial payment.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by 3Runes: 3:48pm On Feb 04, 2013 |
Hi again I have thought over your advise and it sounds really reasonable and well conceived. I am back with a couple of follow up questions and I promise to leave you be. - If we opt to apply for the one week or two weeks visa, what happens when he gets to SA? At the entry point will they not stamp him in for the two weeks only?. His workshop is genuinely 3 months- give or take a couple of days. -If am able to find him accommodation and pay for it, can we dispense with asking the workshop givers for their letter of invitation, ID and bank account? (I can just picture their faces if I were to ask them for bank account statements.) So I'll do anything to avoid the humiliation of asking them. Once again, thanks and remain blessed. |
