Hi. Please can you advise document you submitted when you got your visa.

damselhoney:
You will pay Visa fees on the day of biometrics at VFS office around #40k . I normally use coloured copies for mine .

mechango:
Why not use property24 and search based on your preferred location. 550/day is on a high side oooh. This is 7k+/month

550/day is high? For a first timer who no know road, make e go stay for midst of locals? I know it is high, but you dont manage when you are touring a new city first time. Cos it is not your home country, you stay safe Ok.

There are areas you get cheap accomodation, why some areas are a bit high like Pretoria where i am currently.

If you don sabi ground, then you can come some other time and get something better.

Inbetween, the 550 i said was for a studio apartment oo, if you get something cheaper, Goodluck ooo

Safety first.

My candid advise.

folks , drop your messages here , i will reply. I do not have access to mails now.

mobilemykel:

Hi guys.
I have an SA girlfriend and we've agreed that I visit her in SA.
We are looking at a month-long trip/vacation in May and she's willing to support me in terms of letter of attestation and sorts for Visa processing.

I'm comfortable and have a good account statement for my proof of funds.

Considering these information, do I stand a chance to get a Visa before May if I start my application now?
Also, how can I start my application and what's the best route to take.

Gracias.

Apply na. Time dey

I dont know about that. Just tell immigration what you came for and the number of days you will be spending. Chikena

You need covid vaccine.

Graceness777:
Please if you used the evisa for entry is it true they are stamping people in for only 5days regardless of how long you were given

Is the Covid vaccine card compulsory?

For more information, Please read my response to others. If you need accomodation in SA, i can recommend.

HowardWolowitz:
My conference just sent me a mail, I am one of the CA in the tournament. Can I still get the E-VISA? Tournament starting at the end Ist of April.

You responded with , "You are right"

Latana:
You're quoting the wrong person o. This reply isn't for me

1stGenAmerican:
Giving your information to an agent to apply for a visa on your behalf is a terrible idea. Whether your visa is approved or rejected, you’ll never know the exact information they really submitted making it nearly impossible to gain future approvals. Taking the time to learns and self-submit will save you trouble and heartache in the future. Be careful, good luck.

You have less information. I stand to be corrected. Qatar issues Visas to Nigerians Currently. Contact the right channlel and you get it done. As i also speak, I am in South Africa and i just arrived. So please take it easy with your remarks. They are too harsh. There are still good agents out there, maybe you met the bad ones and you are generalising. Bless you

Latana:
..

Yes Pufframmy.
Very cool

pufframmy:
welcome hope ur stay was coool

mobilemykel:
Thanks for your response.
Did you apply through agent or yourself and how many months visa where you granted?
I can tell SA is beautiful from the pictures I've seen and how are you beginning to settle in ?

Did you go there for vacation or for work or study ?

Will be nice to hear about your experience so far too

Vacation, I applied myself.

SA is fine , but with alot of economic indifference.

Notwithstanding, you will enjoy yourself here if you do right.

From OR tambo to city to the parks. Everything here is beautiful.

mobilemykel:
Hi good to hear that you're loving SA. I hope to come join you there by the grace of God soon.
Where in SA are you?

Amen. Just be patient.

I am in Johannesburg

mobilemykel:
First of all, I want to say a Big congratulations on your Visa approval.

Please I applied for SA EVisa through an agent since on Monday the 13th and up until yesterday the 6th my EVisa is yet to be approved, pls what can I do about this? It's over 21 days now

And thirdly, please people in the house how much do Agents charge for south African visa because my agent charged me five hundred thousand naira (500,000.00) please is that so ? I have already given agent more that half of the payment

Asking this here will cause alot of uproar with your agent.

I usually don't intervene on issues like this because we were not part of this transaction and we do not know the terms and conditions of your agreement.

Moving forward. When I applied for my SA visa, it took a month and one week.

So please be patient ok.

SA is beautiful

General Question Please, if you are embarking on a short trip let's say 7 days, is it best to do a travel insurance that covers 7days or one month?

Someone asked this question some days ago

.

Bursttt:
You better flight Air peace & SAA o!

Hanzat:
Hi Everyone,

I am trying to make payment for my UK visa application, but it keeps getting declined.
Has anyone had this issue recently, and how did you resolve it?
Thank you.

Please confirm how much you have in the account and be sure if you can process international payments with your card.

You have to use a dollar card. Be informed.

Restricted:
You understood the question i asked. Thank you sir...

lol. i understood too, sir.

I just felt it was not necessary to ask that question when the respondent said he got a refusal slip attached.

All the same, we are here to gather information and learn a thing or two.

Nice meeting you, Restricted.

Zazozhe2022:
43k I think

To be paid in cash on day of appointment?

The solicitors are back again. My sister, My brother.

You can see no one is paying attention to your questions.

Ask your relatives to come and ask themselves.

Na wa!

Visa fee for those who submitted via vfs recently . Please how much?
was transfer allowed or cash?

I will appreciate this feedbacks.

It does not matter. The applicant has received a refusal, that negates your question. However, they should appeal, if they choose so.

Restricted:
I wasnt referring to the Visa sticker stamp itself. There was this small stamp they usually put on the passport page when they refuse a visa. They were doing it years back. I dont know if they still do it or they have stopped.

djbaju:
I met one man at Ikeja centre some weeks ago on the queue he said you re required to pay I can’t just remember the figure

user fees exist for vi applicants. For Ikeja, it does not.

If you are applying from VI, You are to pay a stipulated 55 pounds fee. I do not think same applies for Ikeja center. Please correct me if i am wrong.

arasola2000:
I am on the tls website, please what is UKVI services and User pays
