I beg to disagree with on the attitude of VFS (South Africa), Abuja Staff. They are the most polite and helpful than their counterparts handling Canada and other Schengen applications. Every single time I've gone there, they've been really helpful. They go through every single document you want to submit, and ask you to get any that may be missing.

When submitting applications at VFS, the applicant should bear in mind that the average processing time in Nigeria is three months. An application submitted earlier this year in March was adjudicated in June. Returning from SA, I submitted another application in October, and I'm not expecting a response till December. The good thing however is, I have my passport with me in case of other travels.

Michysandy:
Good evening house,

Please I'm applying for a visiting visa and my sponsor's business account registration is showing inactive on CAC portal. Will that be a problem?

DrOA:

@hunee and others.
I think South Africa visa is getting difficult this days. What's the possibility of getting visa for one that want to apply by November 10. When I will be back from business trip in securing family visa for December travel using sticker visa or EVisa. Please advice.

dexydidi:
My application was a physical application not an e visa.

Again please can I get the phone number of the consular?

Secondly, does anyone have the email?

Thank you all for your responses.

dexydidi:
I submitted my application like ending of 27th sept and received the letter yesterday.

Please the consulars number?

I want to visit vfs office in lekki to clarify this issue.

It is really upsetting, cus I even have travel history whiich means i have been travelling with the yellow fever cards.

VO are really unintelligent people and lazy!

Hmmm, I can’t believe you are saying this. When that nonsense human came here few months ago to insult Nigerians, these are some of the end results. A country where a good portion of the citizens think there misfortune is due to foreigners and they begin to witch hunt immigrants whether you like it or not everyone must suffer the consequences. This is why we were trying to correct the criminal narrative associated with Nigerians living in South Africa, the prejudice, segregation and discrimination is appalling. So many honest Nigerians here without jobs, most have to resort to business because of the constant rejection due to your nationality. I can’t count how many jobs I have applied to on indeed which I know I am beyond qualified for but 98% of the time I don’t even get a call back talk more of an interview.
If you are a Nigerian planning on coming to SA for vacation, my advise, suspend your plans for now, these people don’t want you in their country and if you are living in South Africa fully, please start planning your exit, a country where the people have so much hate against you and can turn on you at any given time is genuinely not worth it in my opinion so don’t be too relaxed in this country.
If you want more insight as to how much this people hate foreigners, go and watch the latest BBC documentary on YouTube detailing the horrific attack on immigrants.

koffeed:
Each country has its own problems as well as its merits, we as Africans must reframe from always attacking one another when matters such as this arises. Indeed, a corrupt government or institution contributes towards the behaviour of it’s civilians but nevertheless we must try to treat each other with respect and integrity. Life is hard as It is, thus to sit behind the comfort of one’s home and furiously lash out at another brother or sister is simply demoralizing. Bear in mind that before there was ever a country to divide us we were all simply humans residing in one continent. This idealistic notion of your country is better than mine is a fairytale of an ignorant soul. This platform was created to assist with the needs of our fellow brothers and sisters and it should stay that way. Let us maintain some respect for our fellow Africans regardless of which country they’ve been subjected to.

Always remember that a country doesn't define a man’s destiny, a man rather defines a country’s destiny.

If it is not too much to ask, I will go back to assisting those that need advice on how to go about achieving this e-visa debacle. As always gentlemen, it’s been a pleasure.

The thing tire me honestly....

I stopped putting the blame on government some while ago when I started looking outside the box..... Government did not fall from sky, the peoples make the government.

You see ehn, Nigerians abroad has badly put the country reputation to the garbage.

Whenever I travelled and see how some Nigerians behave overseas makes me wanna hide my identity but for me, I still stand gidigba as a Nigerians. But it's what it is.


It's better Nigerians should stay away from south African Embassy for now,,,,
Only them actually knows the fuse they have with Nigeria.

Additivesupplie:
Nigerian politicians are the ones selling drugs all over the republic?

Are they also the ones constituting nuisance in SA and the rest of the world?

South African Embassy don see shege with forged documents by Nigerian travel agent.

I can't blame them, it's their country and they have every right to deny any application.

Many diasporan don finished Nigeria reputation all over the world

dexydidi:
My visa was denied for this reason.

However my yellow fever card does not even originate from nigeria but was issued in ghana. I am completely exhausted about this.

I sent them an email. What you all reckon I do?

Plus what does the last 10 days means? I mean the last column ?

dealhunter:
11th Oct frm now is 2 wks, you see 2wks date,you did not rush pick and thank ur God,do you know how many people that's struggling to book biometric date?....do you think you are d only one apply for Canada visa?...you better pick it before you see November as next available date...

xdastardx:
What do you mean by another money again?

xdastardx:
Flight leaves around 23pm and arrives 6am the next day which is the 14th.
I did draw the attention to the evisa officer via email and he admitted it was a mistake that he used the date of the conference instead of my arrival date.
And the South African Airways don’t travel everyday. If I reschedule I will have to travel on the date of the conference and arrive the next day.

xdastardx:
For evisa, if my valid entry date is for e.g 15th but my flight arrival to SA is 14th, will immigration allow me entry? When processing the evisa, this mistake was made by dha but I emailed and the issue was not resolved.

What else can I do?

Africankel:
Morning Ayo, I'm not expecting any feedback till November/December o. Physical application indeed take longer.

I also noticed last time at the port of entry that most of the officers dey avoid eVisa. I don't know why. Although they don't have a choice than to attend to everyone.

Africankel:
You shouldn't have withdrawn your application. You rather should have opted for temporary withdrawal of your passport.

However, you'll get your passport retuned before Friday.

OsiEnterprise4:
Good morning, I just Received a correspondence letter, but I am unable to view it, no 'eye 👀' sign there. However I have mailed them immediately, if there is any other thing I need to do, please house you can shear Thanks. @hunee your response is needed too.

dexydidi:
No it is not tourist , But can I get a 2 years Visa Straight?

flavann:
am happy but my first visa i got more days than this, was expecting 3 to 6 month validity, its not easy to gather documents to apply for visa

Abigbo:
Please can you share the documents you used for your application, thanks!

crusader6:
Pls who has the VFS south Africa help line?

crusader6:
Hello everyone I humbly ask for your assistance.
I applied for South African Visa physical application on the 12th and Evisa online on the 15th.

My evisa has been granted today.
How can I get my passport from VFS because I was told to submit it along with my documents.

tannystacey:
Well, it was asked for in the current visit visa i applied for on behalf of my friend. Despite the person not traveling from Nigeria.

The evisa required yellow fever card and police clearance to be uploaded. So does an applicant just ignore it and upload something else?

Honestly if anyone has applied for evisa tourist visa recently and gotten it without police clearance or yellow fever card, i will really like to know

House34:
This is why it's so important not to blindly believe everything you read online. Some people post humorous content to boost their egos, potentially misleading others

dexydidi:
@hunee

I am applying for an SA visa do I need to do a police clearance?
