Even many Nigerians in Canada dont have 15 million Naira,unless you are a doctor or a fraudster ,it's hard to save that kind of money in Canada.But i don't expect a lot of people to believe me ,if you have a good job in Nigeria please stay there ,don't come here and punish yourself .Dont be fooled by the scammers coming back home to spend money lavishly ,an average working person can not save $20k even after 15 years of living in Canada

Opeyinka:
I am a Public Servant.

Most likely my work and travel history contributed to my favorable application. I have been to the US multiple times and still have a valid US visa, other countries I have been to are UK, Schengen countries , New Zealand , Dubai and India.

Opeyinka:
Not everyone's passport is delayed.

I applied on Oct 2nd and passport return on Oct 9th with Visa denied. Reason bank Statement not valid for 3 months. I did 1st to 31st of three months instead of 31st to 31st

I reapplied Nov 6th and and got my passport with multiple entry Visitor's Visa back on the 13th of Nov.

Each application took exactly one week. I have never been to SA.

Koval12:
I actually know of someone that got her visa in 15 days. But study permit. I think it depends on the visa category

mklg:
I got my visa after 9weeks. Please who changes rand to naira in joburg?

victorbk:

Or do i do a letter. Is the letter addressed to VFS or the Embassy? What Address?

Content of letter? etc

Applied for visitors visa for 3 weeks, I have other places to go, need to take it out asap

Thanks for the help.

Abstract2019:
Yes, my proposed travel date is past.
They should return my passport, with or without their Visa. I won't withdraw it.

Why collect money from people, allow them get frustrated and angrily withdraw their Passport?

I won't withdraw it, they should keep it as a monument. Ndi ara.

Abstract2019:
I submitted 7 days after you did.

I'm still waiting.

Shame on S.A.

oluwasoft:
But few people couple of weeks back got their visa within 2 to 3 weeks

padyt007:

bibike123:
When I submitted 2 weeks ago in lagos, on the 14th Oct 2019, vfs was almost empty. I don't know about Abuja or Port Harcourt.
So if you are using Lagos, You don't need to book appointment, just make sure you go early.
Wish you the best

Brimmie:
Hey Guys! Does anyone here know how long it takes to process VISA APPLICATION WITHDRAWAL?

I applied for 7 Days VISA with my colleagues 2 weeks back, 23 were given.. just 2 of us are yet to hear from them. Even those with virgin passport didn’t even take up to 10days.

We have every document needed as we all used the same format.

Well, I need to travel to another country for work and these people are taking forever. I just want my Passport back.

Did your host provide their proof of residence, utility bill? Like Slme recently paid water/data bill?

Does your host have a legal proof of residence that will not expire soon? Visa page / Social Security document

Did the 2.9m in your account enter as a lump sum or built over time?


Other tips:

I should also state that you were once denied. They have the record and they usually ask this question on their form. If you said no, then there might be a problem.

In your introduction letter, you might need to state what you do as your work and that you needed a vacation. All countries want to be sure you will leave their country when you are supposed to and that you show a strong tie to your home country. If you can't demonstrate that strong tie to your home country, you will be denied.

That tie often comes as a current employment. Or your host might put in their own invitation letter stating that you will vacate the republic when your Visa expires.

My situation when I applied:

For me, I had to rewrite the letter and resent to my host. It must be convincing.

When I applied for 3 of us, my air reservation was active till the end of my application which was about 5weeks then.

Funds in account was about 900k, but had turnover on the accounts were about 3m showing activity in the account: Frequent Salary Payment. In your case, it may be business payment turnover, revenue and expenses inflows, that currency must show.

When you use hotel reservation, your airline itinerary timelines must tally with when you land in the country, and when you leave.

Also, when denied, SA will always tell you why they denied you. What have been the reasons for all the times, if we can correlate them?

My girlfriend of a 7 years relationship just told me its over despite the fact that I'm about to meet her parent soon.
Its been a devastating week for me & it's affecting my social output cos I can't just imagine it happening.

elujah1:
Thanks to all nairalanders, i applied on the 26/07/19, didnt know it was ready since 08/08/19 until i checked online, was give a three months multiple entry, first time though but am not sure am going anymore. Changed my mind. If you havent seen yours, check for ur status online

TYPOP:
Your case is special and should have been attended to if you sent a mail to the addresses given.

Please let me advise at this point that you don't need to send an email to the email addresses given if your application is less than 1 month with VFS. If it is less than a month, then they will stop looking at our emails because there has been no delays up until that point. This is generally for everybody.

But for you Hillbankz, you do have a case. Application since June 28 is unacceptable.

Compose a nice email, not one of those arrogant mails we like to compose in Nigeria (not saying you in particular do that), and send to the Director General. In the mail, explain your situation and request for assistance in finalizing the process.

I had to do the same for my wife's relative visa and I was assisted immediately (applied on 14th of June at VFS, sent mail on 3rd October to the DG, got VFS mail on 4th of October).

Also, once you send a single nice email, relax and let them do their magic. No need sending mails everyday or every hour to the email addresses provided (again, not saying this is you but some people do). Doing such will only frustrate them and they may switch on auto spam for your mails.

Cheers and all the best.

You really don't have to pay part of any hotel reservations for a visa application, it's not advisable.. You can reserve an accommodation for free to submit with your application.

Peace
