adespecial:

quote author=j132c post=68809285]Pls no vex abeg. Examples. I'm flying S.A.A and landing 5am

Return ticket. Paid 245k

andrew444:


Sorry to disturb you bro

How much did you get your flight to South Africa via South Africa airways ? And is it one way or 2 ways ticket that's required for a visitor visa ?

Thanks man

eluquenson:
You have just few documents needed.
1. Yellow fever card
2. International passport
3. Hotel reservation/bookings (verifiable) if staying in a hotel
4. Your flight ticket
5. Invitation letter if going for training/conference/family/friend visitation.


You shouldn't spend more than 2 minutes with immigration at PoE if those documents are with you. I was nearly deported because of yellow card I left in my big luggage, one officer had to escort me to pick it in my luggage.

Thanks bro. Please can you give me a list of documents I need when traveling. Thanks again

eluquenson:
They have few officers working midnight, hence no much hassles. My experience was cool with them.
It is well known that human being are naturally weak at night, hence no much delay.

During day time, SA immigration go to the extent of calling hotel to confirm reservations made.

Guys please which hotel is cheap enough for hotel reservation and I won't have problems at port of entry? I'm staying for 8 days

Pls no vex abeg. Examples. I'm flying S.A.A and landing 5am

eluquenson:
No issues, just be bold and sincere. The immigration officer will definitely ask some questions from you which is not limited to your purpose of coming.

That's what I'm saying. They said "each visit not to exceed 30 days"

topeolu1:
Hello, congratulations on your visa. PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR VISA VERY WELL, THE NUMBER OF DAYS YOU CAN STAY IS CLEARLY STATED. FORGET THE 30 DAYS VALIDITY! So you don't run foul. My first visa had only 15days at a single visit even though I had 90days visa. Second was 30days/6months

Pls I was given 30days single entry visa. How long do you recommend I stay as a first time traveller?

Thanks bro. Which airline do you suggest?

eluquenson:
1. $500 is the adequate amount as2 PTA.
2. No, you only need to pay for like 5days if you want to lodge in the hotel. But if you have agreement with the hotel of your choice, you can pay at the facility. Explain that to the immigration officer cos they will check the reservation and can call the hotel at their own discretion.

Good luck.

Well it was the same advice I was given and it worked for me. Do you have a better advice for people waiting

abuhusna1:

Please stop giving people wrong advice another person might not be so lucky like you are

Please to avoid problem with the immigration officers at the airport
1. How much do I take with me as BTA if I'm staying for 3weeks
2. Do I need to PAY for the 3 weeks hotel reservation or just book it down?
Thanks for all the support when I was struggling

.

Yep. Explain why in your intro letter

Eweren:
Hello everyone I was given S.A visa but I never used it valid for 10days .I had to go to France instead now I wish to apply again will I be given?

We are all here to ask questions and learn. Don't come here and be judgemental playing God. Fvck you and your "stood by u" bullshit

Is just dat if people had been àsking such questions or answering such questions with positive vibes it's possible dat this platform wld have died n not useful to u and me

Some of us stood by U only for u to call same people silly...No!!! We Nigerians feels d moment a friend is not in support of a motion we become enemies...

No am not ur enemy is just dat when a friend goes d wrong way i wld pull out but yet still be ur friend..dis way we will grow as a Nation

Once again am sorry if i was wrong by my response...

No they didn't. I'm yet to get a reply but I've lost interest

NaGodwin:
U seem pained bro, they deny u?

People on here can be silly. Smh

Bro I was asking because someone told me he experienced such. Please respect yourself, don't jump into conclusions and judge people. I'm not even going to the S.A anymore. Pls respect yourself. Thank you

ERIN01:


@J132C...
While ur delays some of us here carried ur pain with us
Only for ur u to ask such a question..it wld mean dat for u to b worried about ur question..u intend mis - using ur visa n not plan to exit according to d visa rule...

If ur visa as been issued after all dis delays n u plan to do wat u planing to do. ..rember some faithful dudes wld suffer from ur mis use of visa

Let me now attempt ur question...during our stay i did not experience such...but wat i can gurantte u as som1 who is travelled well is dat one day one day u go encounter em n for sure u go explain....gbam

Good morning people. Please do the police or immigration bother you about your visa validity in S.A?

Pls is there anyways to mail the South African high commission in Abuja?

No

ERIN01:


@J132c . .
Have u gotten a response?

How far bro. Any update?

newuse:


Thanks bro, just hoping for the best this coming week.

It never goes through bro

Gewezzy1:
the number isn't going through

Wow I don't think it'll affect the decision cos the visa would already be stamped in your passport before the application would even reach their desk. Hope for the best and let us know how it goes

iwuchi101:

Yes I did with reservation but no invite

newuse:

Yes I submit myself, Did you submit with hotel reservation or invitation ?

No it's not about contact. It's just luck sometimes. Did you submit by yourself?

newuse:



I Submit in Lagos, people are saying its because I did not use contact. Why must you use contact when you have all required documents... Africa is just something else sad

It's Abuja. Amen

ERIN01:



@J132c and @Newuse....
I hope non of u submitted in Abuja?
D fast processing is happening in lagos ,Abuja not matching their Lagos counterpart...

Ands if u guys submitted in Lagos..since recently about 3 or 4 guys have complained of not hearing from SA embassy, I wana log my faith with u guys dat all will turn out positive at d end..some slow motions cld b happening, i rember a VFS staff saying the crowd submitting for SA is shocking as they only experience dis during summer and not dis period which is winter

Ur news wld come dis week..Amen
