Hi, please could you educate me here. Which policy? All my travels to SA have been via booking.com

Even the most recent application in May this year. I never had issues even at the point of entry except for the query why I booked one night instead of the number of days I intend staying.

Please clarify

eluquenson:
I also used booking.com for my January this year application, at VFS they told me they don't accept it again. What I did was to cut out the header which shows booking.com and I made photocopy.

On VFS previous form, it was written in red ink not to use third party booking.

If you made used of it and no issues, note that circumstances differ (some applicants, they don't verify anything except their employment).

Applicant should call VFS CC for inquiry about anything ambiguous.

Congratulations.
For your info, you can get a transit visa to Kenya. The most important is set your itinerary well to fit in the transit by applying for a multiple destinations while booking your flight.
Also take note that you have to leave SA within the stipulated time.

Good morning.Please there's someone that applied for a visit visa which was denied in the basis that documents lack credibility/non convincing... please for those that have experience or such experience what could be the reason and solutions to that?

cydophobia:
My people. I have these questions to ask

Question 1
Is it a must that i must use dollar as BTA if am travelling to South Africa.

Is South African Currency not acceptable...If yes, how much am i supposed to go with. And which currency is better to use?

Question 2
If am to stay in a hotel for instance 10 days
Is it compulsory i book all the days at once? .Because i learnt South African immigration do request for a confirmed hotel reservation at the point of entry.

kindly share more light on these.

Good day All,

Please I am a completely new here and though I have taken my time to read quite a number of the posts here (and gained a lot), yet I still have need for further clarifications.

I recently got an admission for PhD, for which funding will be provided by a sponsor, and wish to apply for the SA study visa but need to know . . .
1. If the Yellow fever certificate will suffice for medicals or I need to do other medicals?
2. If the yellow card will not suffice, which hospitals are accredited for me to take my medicals (either Abuja or Lagos) and approximate costs?
3. What is the likely sum to be paid at VFS office as visa application and other fees?
4. Please also assists with Hotels in Cape Town that do not require upfront payment.

Sincere apologies if these questions look to be taking pple back.
Cheers

Yes make sure you book all ur intended days at once ...SA immigration takes dis very seriously
