ChuckKingston: Hello good evening sir. Please could you recommend a trusted place I can submit application for South Africa visa here in Lagos or must it be done online
You need to write a proposal on your preferred topic and send to your supervisor
pimper24: Guys I have been offered admission but told that I need to have a proposal approved within a year. The rest of instructions are about payment of part tuition. Pls what next need I do? Work with my supervisor virtually or apply for Visa? The man is not really answering those questions
Debalanza: Really?but a friend of mine one told me it's a good place to be,that apart from xenophobia which have been settled,that they got no ish with foreigners�
Debalanza: This is an interesting thread, currently eyeing S.A with a budget of 2m,how realistic is it? currently in Ghana,they are not good for Nigerians at all.
Hmmmm.... this kind matter sha. Well, your friend should guide you since he'll be the one to write you invitation letter
tepes: I'm an accountant though I'm a skilled fx trader. The said employment is coming through my friend. He runs an fx community and he wants me to work with him
Abuja is walk in except things have changed due to lesser crowd than lagos which does by appointment. You should check vfs south Africa website online first. It's online!
thompson4real: I want to go submit my application at Abuja for Visit Visa. Is it a must i book my application online.
If yes, how much is the booking fee and how much will i pay when i get to vfs
And if i didn't book online, how much would i pay as well.
I need to get clarified on this please. It's very important that i know asap. Thank you
tepes: Good afternoon nairalanders. Please I want to know the documents/visa requirements I need to travel to SA through employment. I've never travelled out before though I have a passport. Your opinions are welcome. Thank you
Fruit4me: but how can I have travel history when all countries refused to grant me visa? I have multiple registered businesses which I have used for application, I hv used my former place of work (construction company) yet no way. I have tried all means. Uk agents almost emptied me because of travel, I have tried Europe too, Canada in fact I’m tired. I have prayed and fasted too lol
Lol. I never went to SA for job. My visit there was by chance as I was on an assignment from a nig diplomat there. I am back in Nigeria. If he is qualified for critical skill list,i.e healthcare,IT ,and apply for critical skills visa then it's worth it. No hard feelings
Simplechap: coming from someone that actually wanted to relocate to south africa.. Why would you relocate to a country on visit visa and expect to get a great job in the first place? If you applied for visa on the right category,you have nothing to worry about.
You should read the handwriting on the wall, SA doesn't want Nigerians to be migrating there any longer, they make everything difficult now for Nigeria, from visas to work permits, residence permit etc. Nigerians there have messed up the reputation of the country (drugs,fraud etc. The place is beautiful no doubt but there is no job if you're not a critical skill worker e.g healthcare,IT . I know it would be like I'm discouraging you guys but it's the truth. I was invited by a nig. diplomat at nig embassy Pretoria and the visa ought not to take up to a week as other countries but it took not less than two months even with email follow-up from the nig. embassy.
Fruit4me: Good afternoon everyone, why is sa finding it difficult to grant visa? This is the 7th times I’m applying for sa visa since 2018 through all mean and yet no visa, I have applied through Lagos, abuja and Ghana. Not only South Africa, I have tried other countries too. yet no visa. Pls is there something anyone can suggest?
Nobody chases citizenship in SA anymore. A valid resident permit is enough to cover everything. What I mean is that there are more opportunities in the west than SA and furthermore their xenophobic attitude towards Nigerians is a factor
Venquire: Diplomats have a valid reason because even if their children stay for 10 years, they would still not be eligible for citizenship.
Commotfornigeri: As a comfortable diasporan visiting nigeria, everyone should be a suspect to you.
Everyone is spying and listening to the kind of calls you make. Don't go screaming about big money.
When people come to ask you for money, sometimes they want to size you. Share some bad news about how you're struggling to meet up with bills and how you currently dont have shishi.
Post them until you travel. You can resume your goodwill when you're back to base.
DONT SHOW OFF! SOME PEOPLE DONT WANT THE BREAD, THEY WANT THE WHOLE BAKERY!
Please we should look outside SA. If you don't have anyone strong inside to pull strings for you,there's no need to go to SA for hustle. Look to other countries where you can become someone without regards to where you're from. I know top Nigerian govt people working in SA but their wards are not even schooling in SA. I'm not discouraging you but do have a valid purpose and plan well mapped out
I have been denied South Africa visa twice and I will need help from you guys on how to go applying for the 3rd time
The first time I was denied 2013 as I failed to get the passport back from the agent and the passport was misplaced ,and sometime 2019 again when I applied I was also denied also ,below is the document from the last time I applied and got denied .
The both times I applied I used an agent
I will like to apply my self for the 3rd time and I need the help of you guys to go about this
Dubyz: When exactly in December did you apply and which day was your biometric done. I submitted my application on 20, Dec. 2020 and did biometrics the next day with my two children but I have not received any response from the embassy yet.
Exactly my experience in march to South Africa. My departure wasn't stressful sha because it was a midnight flight. But my return to Nigeria was hectic, as soon as we entered the arrival hall ,it was soooooo booty mehn, I mean real hot that we started sweating, talmabout we were all wearing sweaters some hours ago. The health/covid19 officer check was very slow with the queue but this was a heaven when it came to the immigration check, Omo there is no sort of organizement at all. No queueing arrangement, the officers were even quarrelling amongst themselves, some on mufti too, most just came out to carry their own persons which must have greased their palms especially foreigners who would pay in dollars. The South African with me couldn't even bear to wait for me when I was awaiting my luggage at the luggage section because the environment was just too hot. Then trolleys were used for free at OR Tambo Airport but in Nigeria those officers will want to collect like 500 before allowing you to use it. Omo, I lose hope for Nigeria o. But I still believe in Nigeria, if only insecurity will be solved to an extent, good roads and electricity,naira valuation to some extent, I swear all Nigerians abroad will come back .
