The issuing is no longer fast anymore since 22nd I applied,now my flight is 9th Monday,it was just a bad idea applying, I'm goin to miss my flight, embassy appointment,Lagos vfs showed me pepper since November now E visa don do their own.

muzybow:


they are not on break, they resumed on the 3rd and some visas were also issued on the 3rd.

Okay thanks.

oluayebenz:


It's just 7days working since you applied.
Give them a lil bit time, you will get a decision very soon

Please who on this platform has gotten Evisa since I applied December 22nd it's even more than stipulated waiting period I haven't gotten response from them.

Tryhard:


1. The person has to write a strong convincing letter, why he/she is inviting you and the letter must contain his/her phone number, email address, house address which must be in the same city you are visiting, if your flight reservation says Lagos to CapeTown, The address must be Capetown and not any other place. If it’s in Joburg, your flight reservation say. Then the house address must be in joburg.
In the letter don’t put contradicting stuffs in it because they will definitely call your host and ask questions based on what is written in the letter and in your self-introduction letter as well.

2. The person must attach a certified copy of his passport biodata page and the visa legalizing him/her to stay in SA if not a citizen of RSA. If he/she is, the just a certified copy of the Biodata page of his/her SA ID

3. A very recent utility bills ( Electricity/Water) which shows the address written by the host in the letter. It must be clear & certified

4. This last one, I won’t say it is a must, but just to be on a safest side. Attach his 3 months recent bank statement (certified). Normally if the host says he’d cover all cost or he/she is your sponsor that is when you will attach the host bank statement with yours. But this days even if the host isn’t sponsoring and you still don’t attach the host bank statement you will get refused. So to be on the safest side just make sure you attach the bank statement with sufficient funds( Certified true copy)

NB: Make sure the documents are clear and not blurry. Make sure no parts of the document is cut out. Have a copy of these documents when you are submitting

No Evisa

H100:


E-visa or physical submission

I submitted since 22 got a mail on the 29th my documents has been sent to DHA is under process up till now no response travel date is Monday 9th.

Tryhard:


You’re welcome! Most likely if you don’t get any message about the state of your documents within 48-72hours , you’d most likely get the e-visa, because if they are problems with the document you’d be ask to Re-upload. Fingers crossed, follow up with VFS too.

Well I heard you have to go Abuja for Ethiopia visa

Offsetdrip:

Trying to change my route I need help Please �

Are u going because of appointment at Georgia embassy?

Offsetdrip:

Hello everyone has any body applied for an Ethiopia visa before i need an Urgent response

Those ones are worse they send you same message all over again.

Tryhard:
In my own opinion VFS people are not even helping in this visas matter, I understand they are third party but they should give meaningful information about visa processing and the delays since we are submitting through them. If you contact them now they will say they have no say in visas we should contact high commission everytime.

I think they are doing it intentionally they wait for your intended date of travel to elapse before they tell u stories.

Tryhard:
Abeg o, Long term Visas, who have gotten a decision from the consulate? Either Study or Critical Skills? Omo the wait is too long na? At least there is a little improvement in short term sha

Hian � what advice when I submitted I asked them what it means when they ask for your passport,means visa is granted.

Tesclaros:
Happy to see that you’re now the one advising people. Good one there! Keep it up.. “cheers”

Once you have been called to return it they will issue it.

flavann:

This South Africa E-Visa by VFS thingy is really fast & I’ll advice people going on visitor’s visa to utilize the platform, or if your passport is stucked at the high commission, you can use it and within 10 workings days when your E-visa is out, you can withdraw your passport.

The South African Consul General in Nigeria, Mr Darkey Africa has revealed that the submission of fraudulent documents is responsible for the delay in the issuance of South African visas to Nigerians.

Darkey added that the other reason for the delay is the high demand for the visa. He made this revelation known to Tribune Online in a chat yesterday.

Meanwhile, Africa noted that the delay would be well managed if straightforward applications are made.

You know the demands for South African visas is quite high and the turnover takes too long because people submit fraudulent documents.

“I have met the then President of Travel Agents. We made a presentation to them. We showed them the frequency of fraudulent applications as opposed to those who are compliant.

“We told them if we eliminate this, the turnover will be as quick as imagined.” He said.

“There is probably a misunderstanding. The rules and conditions for applications are the same.

Any embassy you go to, it is the same answer given by their officials. Nigerians are noted fo forgery of documents and fraud. This is what led to internet fraud and This is why our prayers do not get answered by the Almighty God. Presenting forged documents to embassy officials lengthens the time it takes for verification.

To do a diligent vetting of these falsified documents will waste time. At the end, the official will reject the application. Nigerians will go out to complain that the embassies are not issuing visas to them. Whereas, it is their faults. These officials have their country’s national interest and These are the Nigerian citizens that go overseas to soil the name of our country by becoming vagabonds and rely on their host country’s hospitality and behave badly when they do not meet the expectations of their host country. To the foreign embassy thoroughly vet and only approve visas for those applicants with genuine documents

Tesclaros:

Tryhard:


Okay cool, E-Visa or You appeared at VFS Abuja?
Did you use hotel booking ?

Thanks I have submitted

Tryhard:



Go directly to their hotel website like Houghton hotel, Johannesburg marriot or any hotel in the city you’re going to, then make reservations or better still if you have a friend or relative in JHB or SA, tell them to write you a letter with their phone number, email address, house address and duration of your stay, attach it with a recent utility bill that shows that house address and their SA ID or intl passport and their visa/permit if not a citizen of RSA. all should be stamped by a SA police not more than 3 months and then bank statement if the person is responsible for your finances in SA if not don’t attach it then yours must be attached.
