Hello House, please I need your advice.
I got my South African study visa in March. I had my baby in February and applied for his accompanying visa in April. Up till now, I have not gotten any response from the embassy.
In May, I got an email from VFS saying the visa had been sent from the embassy to VFS, but afterward I got a call from VFS telling me not to come, that they would call me again. I later went to VFS in person, and they said the mail was autogenerated.
Right now, I’m very confused because I was supposed to resume my studies in May, but I cannot leave my baby behind.
Please, has anyone experienced this before? What can I do next?
Ps: I applied at VFS Abuja

I actually just went to the BLS office today for the Walk In option. I was told that Its isn't available now.

This is because there hasn't been appointments for a while now, the office is also empty.

I was told that the walk in option is only available when appointments are ongoing. In that case, if someone misses theirs, the person seeking Walk In can be given the slot, at an extra cost.

Good Morning Everyone, so I went to VFS and they told me that the man handling my application went on leave and I have to wait till he comes back, because his colleague said he won’t handle his applications, because I was sent an email directly from the embassy from one Mr masingie and I can’t reach him and VFS isn’t helping, they said sending a letter or email won’t do anything I have to wait… should I go directly to the consulate or what can I do ? My visa has been processed it’s just to stamp and give it back o

Thank you

The reason why i want to be sure is because i dont live in lagos, in afraid of traveling that far without submitting my application. You just said wait for their response

Helpdesk14:

Helpdesk14:

I applied for Spanish Schengen visa since July 10th 2025, I’m still yet to get my passport. The people at the visa collection center BLS Spain told me that all the visa officers at the Spanish embassy resigned, hence the reason for not getting a response from the embassy. They also informed me that they haven’t had appointments in 2 weeks. This is so disappointing, all of my efforts and resources wasted.

Helpdesk14:
Stop giving out false information , i called the bls and they said there is nothing like walk in appointment , you have to boom online

Nah, it won't have any effect on his application. The highest they would have done is to remove an important document, which is an indictment on their part - as they are under obligation not to accept incomplete documents. So where the document come follow loss?

They have done this to me several times, and I usually didn't pay attention. Until recently when I requested to know what I was paying for - the rude staff showed me my receipt and I saw "Premium Lounge", a service I never used. After she gave me my correct bill and I paid, I still requested to see the manager who apologized sincerely.

A similar thing happened at their Denmark section. On the day of my appointment, they just arbitrarily said every applicant for Denmark, Norway, Portugal and Ireland MUST used premium lounge - I refused, and asked to see the manager, apparently he was the one who gave the directive. I was allowed to use the regular service.

horlorbah:
I understand your point as well but how else can I apply diplomacy if the guy trying to overcharge me is sounding rude and telling me every other person has been paying 37400 without asking questions just because I requested for a breakdown of whatever I'm paying for

Africankel:
Validity: One Month
Documents: Visa application form, invitation letter and evidence of work.

Africankel:
I paid 241k for express, they didn't give me the option of paying the regular fees (which is like half). After my interview, they handed me a document with payment instructions and asked me to pick up my visa the next day.

Embassy is on Constitution Avenue, Abuja.

Africankel:
My travel was not for tourism, I went for a meeting. Invitation was issued by a Russian government official, so I simply emailed the embassy and they asked me to come the following day. It was a public holiday sef
