Where is the best place to change rand Nigeria or SA

mroyato:
1. You need to be able to present proof of accommodation during your intended stay if you are asked at the point of entry. So I advise that you make an unpaid reservation for other cities you intend to visit just in case you are asked.

2. If you have a Mastercard you don't need to travel with cash as your card will work in most malls and POS in SA. However, keep about 2000rands in cash just in case.

Stay on the safe side.. between 1.5 and 2m.. Having 1m is not bad tho

mroyato:

If you have a MasterCard you are fine but you may have to inform your bank about it. It's way cheaper for you. Most Banks charge less than 26 naira to a rand whereas it goes for about 30naira if you want to exchange at bureau de change. However as a back up you can hold about 2000rands in cash. You will find a lot of places at the airport to change your money.

ebose09:


Thanks a lot...got to the airport late so I couldn't change my naira so maybe when I get to SA I will try change there but I have my dollars

babae2009:

I felt really bad and my heart was heavy when I read this. Life is full of ups and downs. Please don't back down, refire my brother but critically look into their reason for denial before you apply again. Very vital. Success bro.

Aragon1:


I will advise you pay ahead of your trip for your stay just to be safe and avoid troubles @ POE. I stayed @ Radisson last month during my Easter vacation and I made payment before I departed Nigeria. Just do a mail informing them you need to make payment ahead of your trip. You will be issued some forms to fill, permitting them to debit your Master/Visa card and a confirmation of payment will be issued to you via email. Print and attach to your flight ticket as you travel. Keep it handy as you may be asked at POE.
Just speaking from my personal experience. It could be different for some folks anyways. Safe trip as you travel.

ebose09:



You are very correct, am in cape town,I didn't have any issue with immigration or at the POE cos I had a paid booking, the guys from Nigeria refused the hotel confirmation saying it not a paid confirmation, I had to go print out the payment receipt my bank sent to my mail before he agreed that it a paid accommodation. So I just included it in my passports and give it to any one that requested for my passports like that I didn't have to talk to much

Hi Mroyato...I just booked 23 days for a hotel in Capetown via hotels.com. I hope the reservation confirmation from them is OK for POE guys?

I remember VFS requiring direct booking at Visa application phase. So, I really need clarifications ASAP cos my flight is tmr.

Everyone, help a brother resolve this. Thanks in advance

WordFamous:
@ Zubydee thanks. But I already paid fully for 5 days AirBnB in Pretoria from May 14th-19th. It's the remaining 23 nights after that I booked via hotels.com.

Will this work...or you must pay for every single day on your return ticket?

Anyone please. Thanks

quote author=ZubyDee post=78346944] was the booking paid for ? If not atleast make 3 days payment if not you’ll not be allowed in at Poe.

cucumbar:

ZubyDee:
5 days fully paid, then you have no problem at poe, all they need is the proof that have somewhere to stay once you enter the country. You have no problem bro, best of luck on your trip.
