TOPEADE1:


I should expect mine soon because I applied on the 24th June for study Visa, however, please confirm from him because 23rd is a Sunday and they don't attend to people on Sunday I think.

Sircreeden:
Please I would like to ask for your advice on what to do. I did apply for relative visa Jan 2019, up till now no response. I have sent emails upon emails even submitted a letter personally at vfs Lagos. And the manager assured me she will deliver it to the embassy on my behalf. Still no update and I'm getting frustrated with the whole thing..
Kind regards

TYPOP:


Difficult to advise my brother. I know a very close person also that applied for Relative Visa and still waiting. Sad thing is, there's little option than to wait. If anyone has personal contacts of the consular or anyone inside the SAHC, it would be good to contact them and just appeal to them. Otherwise, no choice than to wait, and it looks like a really long wait.

Cheers and all the best.

Every document coming from SA must be certified

I think he was referring to visit visa. I applied for study visa since 28 of March, no feedback yet.

Please see my comments in bold in your question above.

Ejiod:

Thank you all for your contributions
Pls I'm here again to ask uncleared issues.
1. Our Pay Later option is designed for convenience. You may pay at the SAA Town Office within 72 hours or by direct deposit into one of our bank accounts by 22h00 on the day that your booking is made. This is applicable for all bookings when your reservation originates from Nigeria.
is on hold and will expire in 23 hours and 59 minutes...
Please remember to book your trip before you lose this great deal!
I just booked reservation but the above is what i got from two airlines which is scary because i believe it will be canceled within 72hrs of no payment. Can anyone help with the best flight reservation and hotel reservation advice.
2. Do i need to pay for the hotel
3. Names of Org or persons you will be contacting during your stay in the Republic? what should we put there? Should we mention that my relative details? Pls advice.
Thanks in anticipation

cucumbar:
Please, can anyone help me address the following concerns?
1. how much do I need to have in my account for a 10 days tourist visit?
I had 1.4m the other time and was not issued visa, because of insufficient funds.
It is difficult to say. 1.4m seems like a decent amount to have. This may be a flimsy excuse by the officer to reject the initial application. If you can get more, add it.

2.I want to apply in October again to travel in early January. Is it too early to apply?
Considering the delays at the embassy these days, it is not too early to apply in Oct.

3.For how long do I need to have bulk funds in my account before I apply? The second reason for rejecting my last application was ‘account transactions lack credibility ‘and someone here mentioned that it must have been because huge funds was deposited in my account shortly before I applied.
Again, difficult to say. I had speculated on possible reasons to you before. If there's a bulk move of funds into the account, you can include a proof of the source of the money and explain it in your letter of introduction. If the money has been there for over a month, the the VO should be able to give you the benefit of the doubt. But you can never say with these guys eh.

Thank you guys.

I understand but I have people who applied for their study VISA in May and have gotten theirs since the school will resume August. I am sure I will get it this month.

TYPOP:


You are right, that's the correct form.

Look at the checklist to know all the documents required and then start working on getting them one by one.

TYPOP:

Yes, email is accepted. You may or may not choose to print in colour.

Cheers and all the best.

Have you applied for study visa this year?

yacha77:
you wanna add some points??

yacha77:
OK thanks, just a little clarification about medicals, I saw as part of the requirement on the vfs site. But school say medical issuance is what I need.

akindele214:

Yes. Apparently the new rule is one needs to add the quotation from the school which isn't in the required documents on their website.
