In Most Cases , Yes.

EstherOA:
Good evening, today I was just going through my application and I made a mistake. Where it asked if you’ve been refused a visa, I said No. but I’ve been refused previously. Will this mistake cos visa denial??

You must declare all previous refusals.
You can address viz - viz cover letters, if bio done.

Good.

Michaelgodsome:

@Africankel, you have been vindicated
As regards date, try Abuja if Lagos is full.

Horlaidey007:
Hunne, Pls do you have idea how much Canada visit visa cost?

It cost 185CAD

The Evisa was a colleague. His visa was approved today after 10days

Graceness777:
@hunee I thought you submitted vfs ??

The response was for the person that was explaining about visa delays atm.

CLARIFICATION OF EARLIER POST

@wumi, I made a genuine suggestion,no hinges attached. it is ok to always check here for updates, it is fine.

I was just trying to assist you because of the emergency concerns you raised reason i spoke of the whatsapp Date Search group option.

It should be of note that many others through the assistance of this channel, have gotten earlier dates.


And to others misconstrued on the message, you people should be calming down.

I wish you the best in your search @wumi261

Do have a great evening Everyone

Seems Good Bro.
Just as expected

directonpc:
Got to the UK yesterday afternoon after 13 hours from the time my Turkish Airlines flight was originally scheduled to take off. That's about 1 hour late.

My experience at POE was bad. It took less than 2 minutes and my passport was stamped. I was asked the purpose of my trip and if I had a return ticket. I showed my invitation letter from my employer and that was all.

Just as expected.
Have a great time

Funky123:
Can I join your telegram group

Search, and join. Through this group, you can join others.

Africankel:
The only way to move past is to answer "No". It'll have no effect on his application. I know this because I've seen a gentleman do it with Spain and still got approved.

Let wait to hear from him.

Sojeezy247:
It is regarding migration,it was posted on their news site,so it is affecting everyone both online and on-site submission

E Visa approved today.

Kindly which link are you talking about? Please share it .

Hopefully, someone picks the number and you are added. Goodluck Wumi

Wumi261:
Okay.

To the MOD, please, I am begging, add me to Abuja F1 student group searching for dates. I am already running out time.

08063208487

Mod is always around the corners waiting to ban anyone o. We are not allowed to share contact here.

Wumi261:
Thank you @hunee for the response. Please, if you don't mind can you explain how to go about the reschedule button process 'cos sincerely, I don't have an idea.

Also, do you suggest I pick any date available at the moment in order to get the option of reschedule button or the emergency date process? Location is Abuja embassy. And can you help add me to any Abuja group for dates?

Just paste it here , that please you should be added to a group for date search. Admin will mail you

He can not move to next page even leaving it blank. That is what he is facing and reason he came here for answers

Africankel:
I'm unsure what is required of him. There are certain embassies (not France), that asks for the biometric date and number. Some (including France), ask for biometric date and visa number. In a case where the previous visa was denied, that column is left blank.

If your travel to South Africa is essential, File a complaint and Draft it to the Embassy in Lagos via DHL.

Please note: Only if your trip is essential(URGENT)

So many have been doing this and they got results.
This is the best thing to do when your visa gets too delayed!
Goodluck.

Hi Wumi,
Trust you are having a great day.
Unfortunately, i do not have the connections for dates, but do you belong to some channels that give updates for dates? It will be very helpful to get one!
I also advise you to use the emergency button when it becomes impossible for you to get a date.
You also have the option for scouting for dates by regularly using the reschedule button, if you get an update here for closer date.
That is how most of the applicants for different categories of visa applications go about it.

Wumi261:
Good afternoon @hunee, can you please help me out concerning dates or how to process emergency dates? Please help!

If you require further information on how to join a group for date search, i believe some of the admins of these vaarious groups are frequent here, You can be lucky you are contacted via mail for an add up.
I wish you luck.

On my Telegram group, some one who applied via Abuja visa was approved just after the fire incident. There was also a memo that it does not stop the processing of applications. This memo was released by the Embassy.

Olusapo:
Good afternoon my wonderful people here.Pls I have some questions to ask.
Pls what is the update concerning suspension of operation at the Canada embassies in Naija, ie Abuja and lagos offices?Have they resume work after the fire brakeout at Abuja embassy?

Secondly,would the suspension of operation affect responses to applicants who have already apply and did biometrics b4 the incident?
Thanks.

So use that for your next line of action.

Tgirll:
No leave it.. it is for those that got the visa. I asked one of the TLS guys and was told to leave it and say No instead. But explain to them at the center on the day of submission just so they are aware. But you’ll still do another biometrics

Sure of this? Not doubting but you know our people would say leave it, and if anything comes up you on your own. Can someone put a call through to tls contact center to confirm. Kindly.

Recently, I saw video commercial of Trev promoting the Tourism Industry and asking people to come visit SA. I don't know if anyone saw that too!.
And I am like wondering in my head, how do people visit your country when you delay their visas and eventually reject their visas.
I threw the question to the board, and I am yet to get a response

I guess the commercial was targeted at a different audience not West Africans minus Ghanaians

Graceness777:
Ahhhh this is terrible ! In one of their contact number are going. It’s quite…😒😒

You just have to be relaxed.
South Africa has always been notorious for visa delays. I remember my first encounter with physical submissions way back in 2019, it took like 8 months to get a response. One of the reasons they introduced e visas which serves as an option. However, we have seen that the evisa is even difficult to secure too.

yes

ssgi4in1:
Good morning everyone.

I want to confirm if mybank statement can be used for UK visit visa application?

My Application was in August. Yours is september.
I have not gotten a feedback from them too.

IS IT THAT NUMBER HE WILL PUT THERE?

Africankel:
After taking your biometrics, there's usually a printout of the biometric details given to you. It contains your name, photo and biometric number.

This use to be done by VFS, not sure what's obtainable nowadays.

EVEN WHEN HE WAS NOT GRANTED VISA?

Goodmorning house.

You can use the mail supermods button at the bottom of the homepage or tag them directly.

Mynd.44, Domin.ique are the only active ones I see around. Remove the dots from the monikers if you want to tag them. Or better still create a topic, and mention them.

Admin/moderator/ Class captain. I need to reach out to the person urgently.

Magnoliaa:
Contact of which admin? The OP - Persephone?

can someone help with the contact of admin? A tag will do. Please it is urgent

Hi , I also got confused at his post. I had to follow his trial of messages for clarifications.

Graceness777:
Sorry I don’t get this , you left your family passport with them?
I thought they usually return applicant passport at point of submissions??

I think he submitted around October for a family vacation and got passport submission notification in November for himself only.
That was what i "believe" he was explaining in the last message.

Lol. You see those guys attending to people at the SA counter are special bred. Any little thing, go to VIP

vozkini:
I took my passport. Am currently on a business Trip. I left my family only with them. I plan to get there December for vacation. If it pass T go fire them cos I spend so much that day. Apply to Europe is even cheaper only if I had known.

correct.

Africankel:
I'm telling you. Relocating with the right visa gives you peace of mind. Wetin I wan go claim asylum for, say Boko Haram dey pursue me? Lol. 😄😄😄😄😄

I go first run B1/B2, then look up investment opportunities.

Going by your post, you recently submitted right?

vozkini:
Yes. I submitted for myself and my family. I got the following sms.Visa Application, Ref No. SALA/ has been dispatched to The South African High Commission, Lagos for processing on Thu Nov 02 2023.
I got another one, Visa application,tracking ID No.SALA/3 has been forwarded to the South Africa Visa Office, LAGOS on Thu Nov 02 2023.

And another one,Visa Application, Ref No. SALA/is under processing at The South African High Commission, LAGOS.

Your waiting time would be around 3 months.
