Thank you very much Hunee.
Yes, my invitee is willing to send an invite letter.
Please kindly detail further, after I get all necessary documents from him and my bank letter.
Will it be required when filling the online form?
I mean how to I send it to them? Will I attach it online or I will use the vfs?

I advise you apply for a direct sticker visa at vfs ikate. Just collect all the documents in pdf format from your friend in sa via mail.

You can send him the format, but the address in this case will change. he will address embassy in nigeria, not home affairs in pretoria.

Please read the information carefully.
All you need is letters from your friend now.

Please if you want to successfully scale through this, i advise you also read this platform back - back. we have provided sufficient informatiion as regards in the past, kindly do some research.

Betterstill, mail vfs for further clarifications or call them
Goodmorning

hello.
Let your SA national do the following.
1. Write an invitation letter to the home affairs.
2. Attach his id
3. Proof of residence/ house rent receipt or something. This is what you attach to your application. The chances of first timers getting south african visa now is very slim. However, if you ground yourself with the requisite support documents , you will be granted . Goodluck.

Finally, all letters should be addressed to the home affairs. Use this format: The Director - General, Department of Home Affairs, Republic of South Africa,230 Johannes Ramokhoase Street, Private Bag X114, Pretoria, 0001, South Africa

Hello everyone, it’s my first time here in SA thread.
I want to visit a friend in SA, lives in Pretoria.
His South African.
I don’t know but I read here how demanding Saa visas could be, I want to stay for about 10 days.
Please I wanted to ask if I need to submit my bank statements and letter of employment if I’m applying online. I have about N28M in saving, and I’m thinking of spending about 3M. I’ve been to 3 African countries.
Would you recommend I apply through the vfs or I use the Evisa platform. Thank you very much.

Make sure you also get a reference letter using same address as above from your bank. Regards

give us hint please on getting dates.

OTS18:
I got date yesterday, let's link up bro.

Glowee93:
Good morning, pls am yet to receive any mail from SA is there anything I can do? Have sent them several emails and am also trying to call them but no response, what can I do? Pls help

Your prolly need send like several mails to get feedbacks.
Keep sending , DONT STOP.
Hacc is a small section of the home affairs.
Emails are rarely replied immediately, unless you keep sending.
They have too many to respond to.

It does not take so long, sometimes it does. due to verfications done backend, however, do send a mail to the embassy. You could get their email on their website. All the best.

Hello everyone, I need your advice. My husband lives in Italy but came to Nigeria for our formal wedding in 2022. After he returned to Italy, he started the process for my relocation to Italy. However, he submitted the nulla osta request in September 2023, and we haven't received any updates since then. I'm quite worried because it's taking longer than expected.

Has anyone else experienced a similar process for family reunion? How can we expedite this process? Everything feels exhausting, especially with the language barrier. I'm unsure what steps to take next.

You all make abroad seem like a cash out point. Somewhere wey some people don dey for years, them never see hand raise.

You all be calming down with these statistics. If you want to relocate, relocate but be strategic with your relocation.

Learn skills, ask questions, acquire knowledge. You need that to breakthrough.

Goodmorning

Dear Applicant,

evisa?

Marshall6:
VFS

dha is under works

All recent applicants. which platform did you use
/ vfs or dha

That where you are getting it wrong. It is still the money and resources you are looking at. [quote author=msbaileyz post=129423863][/quote]You need to build some experiences, besides, it is rare for you to get a schengen visa first time on a virgin passport. Very rare, especially for tourist unless if you are lucky.

I saw that. First time applicant for (spain)schengen visa, no previous schengen

msbaileyz:
First time applicant

Any way, the information you provided is not sufficient.
If you can, please build your travel experience.
Visa is not about monies all the time or documents, that can also be an disadvantage.
From your feedbacks, looks like you do not have a travel history. That is key
Maybe you try visiting other places.
Goodluck.

Any previous schengen visa. Share some information

msbaileyz:
Hello house,

I and my husband got a refusal after submitting all required documents for a first time application

Please how more can I just justify the purpose of this trip because I taya ooo?

correct

saylawal2003:
Amount fully paid into BLS account and official receipt issued.

Tell us more about this category of visa. Thanks

LET THE Q AND A CONTINUE. THANK YOU

In this case, it is what she told the Uk authorities during her application , that matters. If you said you did stay for a period of 2 weeks during your application, and stayed 4months. They need to explain reasons for that. I noticed alot that they usually revisit previous applications when reviewing fresh ones. I hope this information helps!

Cashmadam:
Same process. Same documents. Hope her 4 month stay won't be an issue...

Good luck!

safe trip . My regards

mekanta7:
