gateleo:
So today, i received email from VFS Lagos that application reference number.............has been received at the South Africa Visa Application centre and its ready for pick up or courier.

I actually paid for Courier services since i leave outside Lagos. I will update once i received my passport.

Thank you all.

Hopefully, you get the visa because travel date may have passed.
Tourist?

Judawoo:
As frequent traveler Italy rejected me last end of February for reason 10.
I apply last week with Spain and I got my visa today 90 days for 6 months. I sent a lot of email to Italy consulate because of delay maybe because of that the rejected my visa .
There is always hope just keep trying

How long did your application stay at Italy consulate? They seem very notorious for visa delays.

Judawoo:
granted my visa in next 5 days

Congratulations.
I actually meant study visas.

No work for there

I think if travel date passes for frequent travelers, they usually grant the visas

davodyguy:
I'm sure travel date must have passed

ehn? FEBRUARY 10?? Are you a first timer?

Biya007:
Since February 10th till date no response, it very very slow

If your trip is urgent , avoid italy embassy for now. The report of late visa response is overwhelming.

Be guided

LOL

Kongaone:
Hello travelanders.

A friend met me for advise so I decided to bring his story here for a more broader thoughts from especially the experienced amongst us.

He works in Nigeria with a salary of about 600k monthly, he was able to raise 50m for japa which will cost him and his family about 36m to UK on study route.

Due to the current inflation, his office did a 100% salary increment making him to earn 1.2m monthly net.

His confusion now is, should he still japa or remain in Nigeria now his salary has improved?

@Justwise
@nlfpmod, pls help for a broader view.

I DONT THINK ANYONE EVEN GOT SPAIN VISA RECENTLY.

NA WA

CGEH:
This is my first time. What can I do?

First time, do not do it.

3 weeks max is processing time.

Plan for your event in future instead.

If you are a frequent traveler, no wahala. But if you are a first timer, dont do this.

CGEH:
Good day everyone.

Please I am to leave for France on the 21st of June.
However my interview date was scheduled for 17th of June.

Please I want to know if the visa response would be ready before my departure date. If not, what can I do?

oaa333:
I have a question please. I plan to apply to travel to France. My proposed travel date will be in July. However my documents/ bank statement will not be ready until May end. I am reading on here that the wait time for biometric is long.
Is it possible to book for biometric in advance before submitting my documents?

Or all my documents must be ready for submission before I can book an appointment for biometric ?
If its like that, Do we think its feasible to submit in May end, do biometric afterwards and get the result of visa outcome by mid July?

Yu did well with the documentation. Please understand that visas are approved at the discretion of a consular and not at the influence of any corresponding party. These documents are very ok, though we can not ascertain their substantiveness. I can understand your pain but let us do this. Appeal this visa refusal to clear their doubts and have it documented, then build your travel history by visiting more countries. Probably after 2 months, you can apply again for schengen. This is a technical advisory. If you wish to apply for an appeal, you can do it by writing the mail of the embassy or via post to nantes,france.

@Africankel,
how are you? Let me know when you are online.

Let us celebrate those who always have the courage to do what is right at all times. To the many still afraid to express displeasure in writing with their delayed visa processing, continue to wait o and pray to God.

Africankel:
My dear Ayo,

I can confirm that after the South African High Commission received our letter yesterday through DHL, they have contacted our business partners in SA to confirm the invitation letter they sent us. They also requested that they respond urgently to enable the High Commission process the visa in good time.

For those who care to act, If your trip is justified and proven, send your letters to the embassy for immediate attention.

Congratulations in advance Kel. You too much

Insurance doesnt matter. we all know, track records do.

cucumbar:
not necessarily true.

I submitted a 14 days insurance, requested for 14 days but was granted 90 days multiple entry.

More likely because it is his first shengen visa .

dende3:

You see the bolded maybe the reason you got the visa. SA is gradually becoming something else, you need to read comments here. If you escape bank statement palaver, you may not be lucky on yellow fever . All the same, Congratulations.

Wuranla:
Yessir

Well, since u all are afraid, then stop complaining here na. If your trip is urgent, you will take the advice. Goodluck

Wuranla:
Thank you bro for the information, like you said, some of us don’t have mind as we can’t afford not to go there for one reason or the other and you know these people look for any excuse to deny visas. Thank you once again for this information.

High time alot of you wake up and stop being afraid of victimization. The way and manner South Africa treats Nigerians across all levels is very bad and should not be tolerated. Even if you signed any sort of agreement, it does not mean you should wait 2-3 months for visa outcome.
It is outrageous.
As you can see, south Africans are very loud and would not blink an eye if reverse was the case.
They are always ready to revolt.
So if your tourist visa is already almost 2 months, start sending your letters immediately to the embassy, let them begin to feel the heat.
Una too dey fear.
Know your rights!
