Yes, they can make the payment for you.
Sorry for bothering you,can I stick to the dha site in submitting since have gotten someone to pay for me or I should use the vfs site in submitting,which is more better ,am just asking so to be on a safer side to know which link is more better to use without any form of delay in responding to my application

I think the VFS E-Visa is faster than the DHA. But right now both are working.

example of strong ties are

You either own a property in your name (car not included)
You either in school with evidence
You either married and have prove that ur family is in Nigeria
Or u own a business with prove

Those are example of strong ties


And u must have active bank account with a good closing balance (avoid using company account, must be personal account)







I have good ties, am married and I attached the marriage Certificate, I own a company and I attached the document and Tax Clearance, I even attach my travel insurance and the trip is 7days, I got a real ticket and not dummy, got my hotel direct from hotel. And travel itinery with day to day plan and tour. My dad is late and they requested for his death certificate which I also attached.. I attach my business acct with over 50million liquidity and balance of over 1million and personal acct with 800k balance finally i have visited 2 countries before, Kenya for 2days and dubai for 7days and its also attached. Read the rejection letter

It say intended date lapsed. That 2months delay from them.

I first email them with no reply, then I send another email 20days later and they replied that they have backlogs and since my date is near I should mail evisa supervisor and the person gave me the email. I did and did not get reply until 23rd of November.

They said my rejection had re a 10days time to change their review un 8(3) and not 8(4) or 8(6).

It means the rejection is not active until the final decision in 30days if I review or 10days if I fail to review..

Its different from appeal. Appeal is when u are really rejected and no review but u have 10days to appeal.

First of all you your info was going really well until i got disappointed where you said you got 1mil in your business account .. business account? Seriously?
And you got 800k in your personal account.. lmao
I had to laugh sir. Now lets do the math, you paid for hotel.. but can 800k pay for flight (return included)

Seriously?

Lets say you use 1 mil for flight alone

How many weeks will you spend in SA?

Okay lets assume 2 weeks
This means u will pay the hotel for the 2 weeks

If hotel charges 50k/day .. you will spend 700k in 2 weeks

And you will use 100k to feed yourself

What about miscellaneous?

Apart from that since the purpose of your denial was intended date elapse

It means you didnt use the new E-route all of us are using

I will advise you to have a better closing balance on your personal account

Avoid showing them your business account statements.. there are ways to bypass all that when u know what u are doing

U even went to prove that dad is late .. all for a visiting visa? Wow’!

I doubt it is a visiting visa.. apply using the VFS E-route with a good closing bal on ur personal account


Goodluck

yall askin me same question everytime

I keep tell yall that the fastest E-route is the VFS route

But have in mind that E-route only works for short stay .. if you apply for 1 week visa, They will give you exactly 1 week and they won’t even add a day to it.

it is an Electronic visa that doesn’t require you to submit any physical documents including your passport .. everything is scanned and submitted online . And u can do it on your own without going to any embassy .

I noticed something when i went to zenith bank to request for a 3 month bank statement. Now on a normal day what they will do is get you the statement and stamp at the front page only. So when i told the front desk man that i needed it to submit at the embassy , he changed his plans and got me a very nice envelope for it and sent it to the manager. I waited for 30mins and when it arrived i noticed all the pages were stamped. So always tell your bank the purpose of requesting for your bank statement

Seriously it is now obvious that some of the info here are always wrong lol.. before I started my visa process, I went through some of the posts here and at some point i was a lil scared. Even the agent once they see that you are not smart will try to use english to fool you. This will be my first time traveling to SA.. and cos of the info i got here, I had to talk to my agent like i knew it all and that was how she exposed everything to me. I came to find out that this whole visa stuff is damn simple to process lol.. I was with my agent when a man who hasnt traveled to any country before with a virgin passport got his visa approved in SA.. so just go to VFS website and apply.. visa fee there is $75
They will investigate more if you ask for a long stay like a month - 3 months.. if you need your visa to be approved within a week or 2, apply for a 1-2 weeks visa , with a good closing bal and authentic documents , you will be approved before or exactly in 2 weeks
