I just got my SA visa application refused, stating the hotel I booked lacks credibility and the hotel was booked for me at VFS. Please what does this mean and is there any other way I can book hotel and reapply?

Ok so I and my wife applied for SA Tourist visa on the 10th of March and we got our passports back with visas on the 18th.

Funny thing is SA has banned all local and international flights in and out of the Republic.

This has got to be one big joke, right?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mroyato(m): 6:23pm On Mar 20, 2020
If you have a multiple entry visa then you may just hope that the corona pandemic ends soon. Else its technically a no use visa.

No...dont come into SA for now. Nigeria seems to be a little safer for now.

WordFamous:
Hi guys, this forum has been so silent. Has anyone gotten visas or their passports this week? Anyone?

Also, what's the situation in SA now. Is it advisable to travel to SA, say for vacation if granted visa?

Let's keep the conversations flowing people...

It's only from high risk countries.

Local flights aren't suspended. Yet.

SAA has suspended all international flights however other inter airlines can still fly into SA for now but that can change quickly.

Yeah, I pray COVID-19 ends soon, not just for international travel, but for the sake of the world's health and wealth.

Many thanks Geenosko for the clarification. A contact in SA told me this, but the ones I have been able to confirm (just as you said) is the travel ban from high risk nations and SAA's decision to suspend flights till 31st May.

I read somewhere that SAA is currently "troubled."
How true?

Lol. You pple still wanna travel in d midst of all this. Btw, the president said that all visas issued prior from the 18th of march onward are now revoked. So dont bother traveling. Whether u r from a high risk country or not. Some passengers of some flights are currently stranded at the airport in joburg now and they are desperately looking for flight to go back as they were not allowed entry.
SA is not smiling now.

Sure, one must watch before traveling in this troubled times.

However, already granted SA visas where revoked for people coming in from high risk countries, no?

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by WordFamous: 7:43pm On Apr 03, 2020
It's amazing how this thread literally turned into a 'ghost town.' COVID-19 has really done a number on anything travel...I understand.

But, guys, when do you think the borders will reopen so everyone can go about their normal lives?

Let's keep the conversations going, after all, we are on lockdown (aka, we've all the time to spare, no?)
