There is something i had always wanted to say here just for the benefit of others. Maintaining a very solid portfolio is a key factor to having successful visa applications. This is what i have successfully been able to build over the last years. It would interest you readers to know, that for all my South African Visa applications, i had little or less monies in my bank accounts. The last one, i didnt have a penny in my naira account. The 2nd was like 300,400k. This is to tell you that strong profile and documentation matters. I hope someone is able to get the message from this post and take one or two lessons for their future applications. It is not usually about the millions, but your genuiness and ability to prove that you are a legit traveler.
Attach enough credentials and documents to back your applications.
I wish you all the best. |

Then I went to VFS this morning with my passport for submission but I was told that it was an error email so they didn't allow me drop my passport saying they will contact me again. Please has anyone ever experienced this?? What was the later outcome?? It could be a mistake. what do you think? See the original one below and compare to yours.

Long term visa. Use regular route on vfs The evisa function mostly for short term applicants. You are advised to seek further clarifications from Vfs. Advans: Am applying for one year Post Doc in S/A. I learnt I have to choose the Visitor's Visa section 11(1)B but this option is not available in the eVisa application when I clicked the dropdown list. The only one available is Visitor's Visa section 11(1)A which is for visitors spending 3 months or less. Dear Nairalanders, please I would appreciate your urgent assistance here. Thanks |

Reason why many are usually not confident to ask questions, when it involves an agent. Levels1: you are 💯% valid They go through the back door. It is either their family member or friend. This is not to say that there are not genuine instances, however many are playing the character, you just got to understand the story-line  Thanks broddy! |
Travel › Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by hunee: 9:53pm On Nov 27, 2023 |
The irony is that many accuse and condemn agent here, calling them all sort of despicable names Levels1: But he shouldn't have come to ask such questions and play on people's intelligent he can still confined on his agent now. Yet, they consult them for virtually all they do. I am not even referring to this said person, but alot of people have one or two going with an agent, but it is ok , if everyone sees agent as scammers, but come to seek clarifications from us here in guise of their friends or relatives when they have patronised them... It is an NL thing  |

Abigbo: E-visa outcome received after 2 weeks. Points to note, when applying for the visa try to ensure that the bank address matches the address you fill in the form. Secondly, try to ensure you upload clear pages of your statement this was what delayed my application. You got the visa at the second or third shot? |

Africankel: Perhaps you didn't use the right term. Tell them you want to do walk-in. Getting in also doesn't guarantee submission, they'll only attend to you if someone missed their appointment, leaving the slot open. They'll also charge you for premium lounge (even though you won't use the service, this is what they'll use to cover up since you have no appointment).
This works for Italy, unsure if it works for France. It should, since both are TLS. Yeah,I second. Also someone I knew recently too had to tip those guys at the entrance. Maybe communication was not straight. |

Painful thing, I came all the way from one of the far states on the southwest. Tot you said you will be travelling from London?you didn't call to confirm from the vfs office first. That would have saved you all the stress. |

I think she got it wrong at the inception of her application or maybe she was considering the timing for visa feedback, so she opted for an expedited process which was the short stay. However, the event turned out to be the way it is now, then she realised she may require to stay longer, hence her employers gave those documents. One thing i always do is not to hurriedly comment on a case. I study it first. i had been following her trail of messages,Prior. Africankel: This man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I understand your point perfectly Ayo. Given technical grounds as you have mentioned, I'd rather she arrives SA at least a week to the expiration of the visa.
That being said, having a visa valid for three months doesn't guarantee her to stay longer than 30 days. As long as you are on a visit visa, you must leave the country not later than 30 days of entry. If you have a multiple entry visa, you can even return the following day, however be prepared to face serious interrogation from immigration. So even if she apply for eVisa, na still 30 days stay she go get. (not validity)
My honest advice is, if she plans to stay longer than 30 days, she should apply for a long stay visa. With her employer providing all supporting documents. Understanding the right category is very important when applying for visas. For some of us who travel frequently, we gather alot of information about a process first,before we begin. I think those were some errors adhincho. That been said, I was allowed 90day straight stay on my last E visa. So the option may still hold. You have also spoken about the long stay visa which may not be quicker now considering the timing, I am sure she is preparing for her trip already. It is just 4 days to the last month in 2023. Embassies are very busy now with applications, so she may as well look at what can fly quickly on her end. What we do here is to give advise based on our experiences, it is left for you(Applicants) to decide. On this note, i call it a night, and send my regards to Comrade Kelly Montana for the constructive engagements  See you guys tommorow! Goodnight House  |

We both speaking as frequent travelers, Kel, the essence of the platform is to engage ourselves "technically" with diverse views. You have been to SA severally, would you advise a first time traveler to enter the country 2days to her visa expiration? I am just looking at the technical aspect, so i spoke about visa conditions, and i said cases are different. Remember, she is allowed single entry too. She also wants to stay longer in Sa, even beyond that Jan she said. For her employers to have issued her those documents, she may stay longer than Jan. Africankel: We should not argue about this. Firstly, the UK and SA issues different kind of visas. SA issues what is called "Entry visa", which doesn't affect the duration granted for your stay.
On the visa it clearly says enter ON or BEFORE. In other words, if her visa is valid till December 30, she can enter on or before that date and would have no problem staying up to 30 days.
My very last SA visa was issued in June 2023, and valid till September 6, 2023 (valid for three months), with an authorized stay of 30 days ON EACH VISIT, this is because it's multiple entry.
See the sequence of my travel:-
I arrived SA August 23, 2023, and was granted 30 days stay (note, the visa was to expire September 6).
I left on August 28, and returned on September 2nd (visa still expires September 6). And I was still granted another 30 days. I departed September 7 (one day after the supposed expiry of the visa.
If you've picked up your passport, you go see am say na enter on or before xyz date.
The lady in question should save herself some stress and write to the High Commission for clarification. Reason i said, apply for an evisa for 3 month, should incase if the need arises to stay longer, you are covered. I am looking at it from a different angle. If she needs further information, Contact the High Commission. I understand very well, Enter on/or before Big Head  . I dey reason the matter differently. I rest my case.

dexydidi: Okay, what about the second option you suggested? I am trying to understand the second option, but sometimes I don't understand how this nairaland works. it can be diffcult to follow a trail @Africankel just confirmed he flew September 2023 to SA when his visa was about to expire. Just as you have read, so i will just lock up on the whole discussion on your visa possibilities, and hope it works out. I aint commenting on it again. Please keep us posted, we here to learn. However, confirm very well from appropriate channels on possibilities. cases are not same and flight ticket is very expensive now. These are the docs needed for your travel to SA 1. yellow card 2. Valid passport 3. flight ticket(Return) 4.Verified hotel booking 5. Some cash to show immigration(BTA) because you are a first timer. 6. If possible, your personal ID, Copy of visa. safe flights. |

Also note that like I mentioned I have a sticker visa on my passport which is single entry and 30 days expiring 31/12/23, also this is my first time visiting SA.
My employer requires me to be in SA till the end of Jan at most. They are sponsoring the entire trip.
