Hello guys , This is to update you on my progress :


I applied for DHA evisa

on 3/10/2023, completed payment and documents upload on 12/10/2023.

45 days after I completed payment and document upload I sent an email hacc on 27/11/2023 to follow up on the application but there was no reply.

On 4/12/2023 I received an email notifying of correspondence on my dash board .On the dashboard it showed :

Application Status : complete
Progress Status : Adjudication outcome received.

However there was no link to download the the document containing the correspondence.

I have seen several posts here with people experiencing this, sent an email to Hacc and the eye button appeared within hours or at most a few days.

I wrote several emails to Hacc but the eye button never showed up on my dashboard.

They replied twice . The first reply, they asked me to look for the eye button . I checked all over my dashboard but there was no eye button.

In the last one month I sent almost 32 emails with screen shot of my dashboard showing no eye button or document.

They replied again this week stating that their records show that an outcome has been issued . Again they asked me to still go to the dash board to click on the " outcome", this time they didn't mention the "eye". In the second paragraph of the same mail there was a contradiction to the first paragraph, it read

" An outcome will be communicated with you as soon as the application is finalised."

In addition to Hacc I have written to :
Yusuf.sumons@dha.go.za
Tommy.makhode@dha.gov.za
Shabnam.karachi@dha.go.za
Tshifhiwa.maiwashe@dha.gov.za
Yogie.travern@dha.gov.za
Nischal.jaynaran@dha.gov.za
Rooi.skosana@dha.gov.za

I have read this thread backwards upto more than a year and I have not come across a post with information of outcome download eye button taking a month to appear

Let me know if you have any suggestions on actions I can take in addition to what I have done so far. Thanks

Good day everyone, just a quick update, as at today I have sent 36 emails on the above matter. The latest reply from Hacc signed by Veronica Maluleke asked me to check for a letter obtained under: payment/supporting documents/letters. I checked but there was nothing.

DHA EVISA HISTORY:

Application submission: 3/10/2023
Supporting documents upload completed : 12/10/2023
Time spent waiting for DHA evisa: 4 months

Thanks all for the comments and information on this thread, special thanks to Hunnee, who takes the time to answer/comment on every question regarding DHA evisa.

I have decided to try the sticker Visa application through VFS Abuja. Kindly help with the following questions:

1. There is a notice on the VFS Nigeria website applicable to all South Africa applicants in Lagos, Port-Harcourt and Abuja displayed on 18/09/2023, number 3 on the list of documents is Police clearance certificate. I am applying for a short stay visitor's visa and in my experience with previous sticker visa applications prior to covid -19 and more recently with DHA evisa, police clearance was never required. Those that recently applied physically at Abuja VFS, was a police clearance certificate required?

2. If I choose not to pay for the SMS service, will I get email notifications?

Thanks

Hello house,

My passport was delivered today, and I have been granted a South African visitor's visa.

The visa was issued on the 17th of January 2024, and it was stated that I must enter South Africa on or before the 29th of February 2024.

I have a couple of questions:
1) I understand that a tourist visa for South Africa is typically granted for a stay of 3 months in the country. However, the condition on my visa states that I can only be admitted to SA for 30 days. Has there been a recent change to reduce the permitted stay from 3 months (90 days) to 30 days?

2) It was specified on my visa that I must enter SA on or before 29/02/2024. If I arrive in SA on 27/02/2024, am I required to depart the country on or before 29/02/2024, or can I stay in the country for 30 days starting from 27/02/2024?

I would greatly appreciate some clarification on these matters.
Thank you.

Please I need help. I went for my visa appointment 29 Jan, I haven't heard anything or even received one SMS. Please what do I do and who do I contact? My flight is on the 29 Feb, and I have paid

donteebalo:

You shouldn’t have paid for ticket when you’re yet to get a visa approval. SA take btw two to three months to these days to process visa. I was very fortunate to get an approval on the 15th January 2024 while I applied on the 4th of Dec 2023. That is far beyond one month.

Hello everyone here. Is it possible to obtain a reprint of a South African police certificate originally issued in December 2023 but not utilized? The person is contemplating applying for a Research visa to South Africa this month and cannot locate the previously issued police certificate.

Favourafrica:


Yes but it’s an old account statement I had since last year and there wasn’t money in it again when I used it to apply. I’m considering not reapplying till further notice.

Africankel:


You will be placed on a minimum of 5 years ban. Don't bother applying till after then

Favourafrica:
it said you have been prohibited

But it wasn’t stated that I was banned. It’s only said I can appeal in 10 days
