No, you don't need VFS. It's the embassy. Unless things have changed and I didn't know about it.

Good day yall, I must commend u guys! I thought it was only the UK thread, dat had dedicated helpers like these.
I am a practising doc here in Naija, and visited,uk,brazil this year 4 medical conferences. All the applications were done on DIY (Do-it-Yourself) basis.
These attitude I learnt from travel section of Nairaland and grateful for such knowledge.
Now my issue is that the conf organisers r hosting, the next conference in SouthAfica by sept 2015, and I am planning for it, but was advised by my close naija pals, now in sa to use an agent, even though I have all the requirements listed above.

They claim that d sa embassy in Naija will either delay my passport or deny me even thou I am going 4 a legit purpose. That they r quite hostile. Am beginning to believe it's true cos some nairalander said, dey recieve lots of fake documents so they treat Nigerians with disdain.
Please brodas, what do I do? Because the agent is confirmed and comes wif a little cost, which am willing if this embassy is really wat dey say it is.
Need ur candid advice, thanks.

you must have a resident permit in Ghana to qualify to apply for a South African visa in Ghana. That is what I know.

I have been reading recent comments and I love the responses I see.

Pls can somebody assist in guiding me. I received an admission to study at UCT masters level. This came in September but i had also applied to two other courses in different places and was waiting because I preferred them to the one I was given.

Just yesterday the two of them replied me that my application was not successful. So I have no option than to take the one given to me earlier.

I will be sending the declaration letter to them today but i have a few concerns.
1. Would the school think it is late that I am replying them almost three months later and withdraw their admission?
2. Can I still get a study visa before end of January? Resumption is in 6th February.
3. My dad knows someone who does Visitor's permitbfor his company. Does this count in getting my study permit faster?
4. How do I get medical insurance cover? I don't know anything about it.
5. I didnt need SAQA in getting the admission. Will it be necessary in securing the VISA?
6. The police clearance. Is it compulsory? How do I go about it?
7. How much would I need for the processing and flight? Which flight is most affordable and when is the best time to leave?

Thanks

The vhs office in Abuja where I live is closed for this year. It will be next year before I can submit my application

Hey nairalanders, I submitted my visa application at VFS, Lagos and today makes it 4weeks with no update from this guys. Anyone with idea and what I can do or who to contact to get my passport back?

yinksob002:
There is no point withdrawing your passport after this long wait. Be assured that you will get it before mid January. I am aware the embassy had some technical issues before going on break and that could have possibly caused the delay. As a result, a friend of mine had his study visa delayed as well and was asked to check back on the 9th of January 2015.

Exercise more patience and all will be fine.

All the best

Hello guys. Merry Christmas to you all. Please, does anyone in the house know if the embassy contacts the bank to verify the statement of account submitted or they just make use of the submitted statement.
