We have addressed this so many times on this thread. Dox needed includes 1. Hotel booking or invitation letter 2. Flight reservation 3. Letter of introduction 4. Bank statements 4. Vaccination card. You can not use free cancellation reservation to get a visa, its advisable to use paid hotel booking

@staggerlee but most of the hotels on booking.com have free cancellation.

Hi guys.

Thanks

Its better to use a paid booking that's all I can say

Jainine:


Quantity needed?

1500 - 2000rand

You will be automatically turned back if you book hotels via third party websites such as hotel.com, booking.com, etc. You need to show evidence that your hotel booking was made directly with the hotel. It's clearly stated in the requirement sheet and announced every morning by VFS before they commence work. Thanks @stagerlee for pointing this out.

You can:
1. Go to a recognised travel agent like wakanow and tell them to pay for a hotel for you.
2. Ask someone in sa to use his/her naija debit card to pay for you in a hotel, you pay the person in naira, and the hotel issues you a receipt.
You can also go to the hotel's website and use your credit card to pay online

@staggerlee thanks so much for ur response, while trying to book flight on arik I can see hotel bookings as well can I use that? because I cant go to wakanow cos of the nature of my job and I dnt know anyone in S.A

Dayhor:
When the missus wants to join his hubby that's on doctorate research in the republic, what bank statements should be used in her application since her stay will be footed entirely by the hubby - the husband's bank statement at home or abroad?
Is it okay to introduce herself as a student or as just an independent pâtissier? @staggerlee

She can use either of the two bank statements or she can use both, she should just make sure that whatever bank statement(s) she decides to use, there is more than enough cash flow in it.
She also can introduce herself as a student who depends on her spouse for sustainance

I don't know what you saw on arik, I can't talk on that. If your trip is important to u, u will find time to go to wakanow, or send someone or call them. There is always a way round things.

why is everyone running away from UAE to settle at SA..... Pls advice me because I want to go and work in Dubai

Please I have been invited to come for a research conference that will last for a week. The invitation letter has been sent to me.

I want to ask that do I need the ticket and accommodation before I can apply for Visa? Or I can proceed with the visa application while waiting for my flight ticket and accommodation booking from the host.

Please I need urgent help on this.

staggerlee:


Student visas is only issued for the first time in your home country, doing SAQA in september is so late, unlesss your school does not require saqa for admission

The admission for the school i want to apply to close by December 31. so I think I can still make it.

SAQA will tell you 15 days, but the problem is not SAQA its how fast your school responds, I will like to know the school that takes application till Dec. 31st

You don't need ticket for application but you must have flight itinerary(booking not paid yet) and evidence of where you wil stay doing the program .

First time I'm getting a two-year visit visa despite the frequent travels. Now I can become less frequent at VFS.

Why must you stress about it? South Africa denied you a visa. Move on.

If you were denied and you genuinely wanted to just visit, then its SA's loss

Please, after getting all the documents, do I also need statement of account?
