Sandton is nice, however, take extra precautions everywhere in Johannesburg. Especially the CBD. Cape Town is much safer.

Hello!
I applied for a South Africa visit visa last month.
I’ve just been requested to submit my international passport to South Africa Visa Application Centre within 2 working days.

1) Does that mean I’ve been granted the visa.
2) What could happen if my passport doesn’t get there within two working days as mentioned in the email? Can the visa be withdrawn because of late submission of my passport?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 4:59pm On Dec 18, 2023
Yes. Most likely approved, also notify them of your movements.

I’m not in Nigeria at the moment but I’ve sent my passport to the visa application centre as requested.

My passport will get to the visa application after one week. It was stated in the email I received that I need to submit my passport within two days.

Hope there won’t be any issue of any kind if my passport arrive at the centre after 10 days?

Also, I have applied for a visit visa, which I believe has a validity of three months. I would like to know if the three-month duration commences from the day I received the email requesting my passport submission or from the day the visa is stamped on my passport.

Thanks.

Yes, I understand.
My application has already been processed by the embassy and released to VHS.
I’ve already gotten an email from VHS to submit my passport within two working days. I wouldn’t have gotten that email if my application hasn’t been released to them.
I have no business with the embassy at this stage.
I only need to submit my passport to VHS and get my visa stamped on it.

Hello everyone

Is there anyone here living in Johannesburg who can change some money from naira to rands?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Sojeezy247: 7:51am On Dec 22, 2023
Well it is still the embassy that will stamp it not VFS,VFS will only take your passport and send to the embassy,they are not the one to stamp your passport.

Okay! I will make my findings on that.
Thanks for the information.

Now that my passport won’t get to VHS within two days (or even two weeks) as requested in the email they sent to me. What will happen? Just curious. Thanks.

What of Midrand. That's where I normally stay when I come there.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Graceness777(f): 9:41am On Dec 22, 2023
The embassy only sent VFS message to request for the submission of your passport . They still need to forward your passport to the embassy .when I submitted mine I got a message it has been forwarded to the high commission

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Graceness777(f): 9:43am On Dec 22, 2023
You shouldn’t ask us, instead it’s best you place a call through to VFS and explain the situation to them immediately
