Metucity:
Hello house, I just tried to track my application using my visa application ref number and dob, but it showed no record found. Before now, it used to show that my application has been received and is under assessment at the South African high commission, Lagos.

Am confused. Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks mine is CSV October 19th last year

Drey143:
I applied 8th of november last year and it was at lagos

Hi Drey143,

When did you apply and which of the VFS location ( Lagos,ph or Abuja ) ?

Drey143:

Ok Thanks

Drey143:

Hi Everyone. I submitted my application for study permit at VFS Lagos on 11th December, 2018. Prior to my application submission, I had been told that it will not take more than 2 weeks before one gets a response from the High Commission.

Meanwhile, I would like to know if there is anyone here that is resuming in Pretoria for studies or work this month.

I pray we all get good news this week!

Did you submit your application in Lagos or Abuja ?

Does anyone know if they have started attending to long term Visa (CSV) application in Lagos ?

Drey143:
I guess it was..cos his accent isn't Nigerian at all... I didn't even ask before he told me his name

Did you apply in Lagos or Abuja

paulavon:
I got my passport from UPS this morning and behold my CSV was denied based on similar irrational excuse.I applied as a SHEQ practictional. Na for man to move on o.

bLacKGoLd3:
Ok, picked up my passport after over 3months and guess what? Visa was denied...Lol
I applied for a CSV but was denied based on a requirement which isn't applicable to a CSV category (see attached).

Incompetence? Naaaa!

I can safely say whoever is at the helms of affairs at the Nigerian Consulate seems to be more interested in getting their palms greased by applicants.
If you know, you know.

I was going to appeal this decision just to set things straight but can't lock down my passport for 8 - 10 months (suggested processing time).
On to the next!

Hi bLacKGoLd3, so sorry for the outcome where (Lagos or Abuja VFS ) and when did you apply or the CSV.

kunletune:
Am a silent ready on this platform. I applied for CSV last yr nov and I received my passport today from UPS. I was denied.
The reason was just baseless I think they just don't want to issue the visa

Hi KunleTune,

Sorry for this outcome.

did u just applied for the CSV without a job offer and required document from a company in South Africa?
Also was they a specific skill you chose and filled in the application form for the CSV application
