If you have an ongoing payment or application, it has to cancel before you can fix for another unless they cancel from their end. Betterstill, await the tenure given.
I had thought you resolved it since you didn't get back, I would have just table your issue before them on last visit.
Anyway. Wish you luck. |

I had engaged elaborately with some staff at the Department of Home Affairs. A lot of them i met were quite welcoming and i took the advantage to inquire about the workings of the unit. The DHA applications are handled and approved by a section called Border Management Authority BMA, their services are quite fast unless there are technical and backlog issues, the system seem to be quite functional and well coordinated. Walking on the 3rd floor of the Immigration department at OR tambo Johannesburg , i discovered that the service hours were adjusted recently to properly suit and attend to applications faster. The operatin days are Mon - Fri and closing time is Quater Past 3pm . BMA does not work on weekends. Some key points for BMA Approvals. 1. State your point and purpose for travel. 2. Simple and straight applications. 3. Attach evidence to back bank statement (They don't trust that Nigerians come to their country with enough monies, because of the numbers outreached) 4. Don't hide informations. The BMA is quite sophisticated, they have a functional technical team . They can randomly pick anything about you in seconds. 5. Ensure that what you post to them can be proven when you face immigration. Most Nigerians are profiled in SA and immigration have perceived interest in your applications. ( Don't be deceived) You have to prove to be different. Lastly, i have applied 3 different times this year On The DHA and everything got approved even with less funds that can barely board a return flight  I literally use the account the way it is, does not mean i don't have means to sustain. I just make my applications as real and genuine as possible. No over hypes, use simple words, don't try to prove a point so they don't read meanings. All the best! If you mailed me or requested i sent a mail or whatsapp message, i am sorry, i can reach you by telegram quicker. Just send your username, will add and chat you up asap. Thanks and i look forward to more interactions. Have a great day ahead. |

You should understand for visa applications, you must have a running account. If it is not available, he should not apply. The applicant must be seen to be established or engaged in their home country, notwithstanding been sponsored. A proper balance sheet will do. Red flag, if the dad transfers monies, not this time. However, he can take a chance if he has a functional account to apply as being sponsored. In this case, his dad statement can fit in. Ajalalomo: Thanks for your response. I don't want to mislead him. Please, can you explain how to deal with this type of situation? His bank account is not good. As a matter of fact, he said he has less than 20k in his account, but his dad's account is good. Is it proper for his dad to transfer the money to his account, or is his dad's bank statement enough?
What documents will he need in this type of situation? please throw further questions to the house for responses. A sponsor will write a letter to the Uk consulate explaining in details relationship, finance and related with applicant. Is the sponsor also applying for a visa? There is a template to be used for such letters , You can google or find here by clicking backwards with search button. |

Lol. This guy can be sponsored by his dad. Yes Ajalalomo: This guy is 32 years old, and he studied mechanical engineering in school, but he is currently doing a 15-month graduate trainee program with a company here in Lagos. He’s only earning 25k as transport allowance. At the end of the program, all the trainees are employed by the company.
His uncle who lives in UK wants to invite him and his dad to visit him. His dad has good job and money to cover the trip for both of them.
He wants to know if it’s ok for his dad to sponsor such a trip. |

The file size is higher than 5mb. Reduce or compress it online and try again. destinedtee: I tried uploading supporting documents this evening and it later gave me an error message asking me to mail hacc@dha.gov.za with a quoted number I was given.
It also complained of lost connection to the site or something like that. I hope to try agaoi tomorrow morning
I am also thinking the issue could be as IA result of heavy file size I was trying to upload. The bank statement uploaded but I couldn't view it. The supporting documents file wasn't uploading. It keeps giving me an error message or site issues.
Can anyone help out from experience? |

My 3 previous SA visas , I had less than 500k. Your genuineness matters destinedtee: Thank you sooooooo much for your prompt response.
Can we still use the electronic GTB bank statement (I mean the one sent to customers email address on request) or go get hard copies of bank statement(stamped) scanned and upload to the portal.
Secondly, is a sum of 500k sufficient in one's account balance to apply? Yes, reference letter from GTB is 500Naira, Request for it through customer service and give them the address of the Department of Home Affairs . Statement is to be stamped and signed. Take note Goodluck on next application. |

Great. Welcome on board. Truth be told, nothing much, except you have to fill this online pre entry to show Port Health: https://healthapp.ncdc.gov.ng/health-declaration-page/ , You also can get money exchanged by using ( SULAH BUREAU DE CHANGE) Just ask of them(counter) soon as you pass immigration and have been fully cleared. You find them inside the arrival, lastly, if you are going to be using the taxis, request for their id cards, betterstill you find them having it on their chest. Those ones are the registered drivers with the Airport. Wifi is open and available in the airport, connect on arrival. You can get a basic phone to make calls, sim cards cost 500Naira (Mtn, Vodacom,Glo, Request for the registered one, cos you need make calls, betterstill use wifi for whatsapp calls) LagosTraveler: I'm a white American traveling to Lagos for the first time. I'm familiar with some Nigerian culture and people. I speak a little Yoruba and pidgin.
What's it like arriving at Lagos airport? Anything I should know about customs, convenience fees, baggage? Is there public wifi? Cash exchange? How do I get from the airport into the city? Can I get a phone ahead of time that will work, or can I get one at the airport? What should I watch out for?
I've been eating vegetarian this year. I know most soups and sometimes stew will usually have meat of one kind or another. Any recommendations on what to look for to stay vegetarian? I eat rice, stew, dodo, or eba and veggie efo a lot.
Appreciate any help and insight Nairaland can provide 😁 The airport is city center , it is called Ikeja. so you have to be precise on your destination, prolly need get an accomodation on booking.com, Just do a booking. If you need further responses, i can assit you. Just drop them. Yes, Prepare yourself prior, dont come to Nigeria to get those things(Phones, hotels, etc. )advised. I do hope you enjoy your time here.  Also, Prepare that you may want to give out some little cash, just so you know. Not necessary tho, like a gesture for some little assistance at the airport.  |

He should not keep quiet. Instead prove himself to be a honest person by informing them. Technically, there is every possibility that it get discovered later, so be on the safe side. Lamide123: Please, I need advice on an urgent matter.
My brother applied for a 6-month UK visa around mid-July as a first-timer. He picked up his passport today, but the duration on the visa vignette affixed to his passport is more than the six months he paid for. The visa runs from September 2023 to September 2025.
Do you guys think he should inform UKVI or he should stay silent and continue to use it? Has this happened to anyone before?
Do you guys think they will discover this later? |
