Aaaaaaah! Finally u leaving me... isorite

Congratulations

It is definitely positive brother... come back share the good news

andrew444:
Bros i know you have been waiting for so long and i know how you feel, your visa is a study permit

Mine is just a tourist visa, how can tourist visa take so long? should i remind you i was called last 2 wednesdays? this wednesday will make it 2 weeks that i am being called

I have emailed vfs also, as they said my passport is not ready for collection.

What is my passport still doing at the south africa embassy, do they want to sieze my passport and eat it?

They should just deny me visa immediately and give me back my passport,i dont care anymore

Should i mention how many people that has gotten their visa , about 5 of them here that i first them to submit.

Yes u correct let's hope these week brings us joy.

andrew444:
Make this people just pity me give me my passport, i dont even care if i will be denied the visa anymore, almost everybody that i submitted before them have gotten theirs, i dont know why mine is different.

My brother let's not lose hope sha.. u know say some of use our own worse pass. 11 weeks now.

That reminds me, I googled vfs lagos website to get there phone contact details. So the first one that popped up I phone it and these guy picked up then requested I SMS him the track number and then call him back in 10 minutes.

I never sent it though cos i suspected something wasn't right. Like vfs number it went direct no vfs voice notes etc

It is well

andrew444:
7 days make a week, so 7 times 7 weeks is 49 days, but as i calculated from his date of submission its 53 days

Hahaha Andrew u are very correct. I guess I wasn't thinking

andrew444:
Wow

I just calculated it took you 53 days to get your visa?

53 days? But he said 7 weeks

DoubleGiant:
okay, expect yours anytime from now... you applied in Lagos?

Yes I did

DoubleGiant:
15th March. what about you?

21 February

DoubleGiant:
Nop, I'm present... you are not the only one..

Thank you my brother. Atleast now I know and please when did you apply

TYPOP:
Guys, let us respect their procedure. They are not saying he cannot go in. They are saying he needs his original passport (not photocopy) before he can go in. There are lots of places like that in the world where even a certified copy will not work, only the original.

If he told them that he submitted his passport, they would probably ask for the receipt, and once they see that, they should allow him in.

Please in the case he lost his receipt? And the original passport is with the vfs/embassy

What so u think he should do?

(Note: that is a public service center. And personally myself I dont have problem with there rule. Hence I say rules are made for betterment and not other way round. And that's why I did mentioned atleast a security personnel can walk him in to get help or better stil advice him how to go about getting help if they must never allow him in. Am sure if they did advice him on what to do he wouldn't be here in NL seeking for help

andrew444:
Many people in this thread have gone to get they passport back with visa successfully

Person wey submit pass for visa how dem go expect am to hold original pass ? Or say him go carry receipt go ?

Anyway I might visit the vfs soon and I will know for my self

Yes am believing by Friday u should get urs.
Mine now is seem am the only one left who is waiting for study visa.

andrew444:
If they don't allow him in then how do people who don't pay for courier service get their passport back ?

You can ask that again.
Because laws are made for good and not for bad.

A security personnel could escort him in to get assisted. And believe me that wont cost anything.

I honestly dislike how we treat ourselves in these country with no remorse.

Odayo3630:
Hello justwise and people in the house,Iamgrey5, Kombast, Mimicle101, and @ Andrew444. I have been silently following this thread for a very long time and I have learnt lots on this forum regarding the process, and steps by steps on how to obtain South Africa visa.
I’m having a serious problem and I want the house to help me out.

I submitted my tourist visa using the VIP section on 25th of March at vfs lagos centre. My question is this.
I lost my reference number through my phone and this has been difficult for me to track my application, so i had to travel from osun state ( Ile-Ife ) to vfs Lagos centre along with the photocopy of my international passport but I wasn’t allow to go in by the security mobile police and nothing yet in my email nor phone calls. Pls house how can I go about this.

This is the 6th weeks and next week will make it 7th weeks pls house am fed up

But how could they not allow you in? Atleast they could have told you the necessary steps to follow to get ur concern sorted.

Is so pity how we often oppress our selfs in Nigeria, I guess no human right.

People who are there to serve the public

Please just try emailing the customer service as others recommended hopefully you cn get assisted

TYPOP:
I heard there was a backlog at the embassy. They are clearing it though.

Contact your institution's International office and see if they can help you contact the embassy.

All the best.

Yes my bro I have also heard that but u know 10 weeks and next week will be making it 11 weeks. Really alot.

I guess will have to wait and or I contact the school

andrew444:
So you havent still gotten your study visa? This is frustrating

My brother am telling you. Nothing yet. And is
10 weeks now

Is soooooo bad

Please people are there still anyone here stil waiting for study visa?

walejummy:
I don't think so but just try to obtain Kenya visa online before going to Kenya.

Is Kenya no longer visa free to Nigeria?

Jaideyone:
you are a slowpoke for you to have started with insults when I didn't insult you. show me one big market in developed countries without market leaders and some sort of association. it is Yoruba culture to have iyaloja/babaloja in our markets and computer village remains part of Yoruba land. if you are not comfortable with the tradition pls find somewhere else to trade.

uncouth slowpoke

"Our land"
"Yoruba land"

Is Yoruba not in Nigeria?

By the time fools like you learn to state your opinion without using above quoted words when discussing about matters that concern every Nigerian Citizen then people like me will start taking you serious... kak

Jaideyone:
good you are free to move to developed countries and find markets without association or leadership. clown

Bitch like you who fucking finds it difficult to read and understand are also the problem of Nigeria.

Tribalistic slowpoke

Mace0lane:
Igbos strangers to the land should be allow to do their trading while Yoruba owners of the land should abdicate their culture to please Igbos.

When many of you Igbos reasons publicly I begging to wonder if you sincerely do not take every other Nigeria for a fool I swear.

What yoruba culture do you speak of?

And how does ibos doing business in lagos stops your culture

Laidebrain:
How sad!!! Which time and age? How is Lagos different from where you come from? Have they erase all the barbaric rules that govern them?? Or you just want us to pick Lagos as civilised just to please our inner mind Wake up bro..

Wow really, so because they have not erased the barbaric laws where I came from. That means Lagos Government should also make barbaric laws right?

Shame typical Nigerian lazy mentality

sweetlaw:
if you were employed and hustling for your daily bread, u will understand their plight but since u are a lazy nigerian youth who feeds on people's money (owo boys), i dont blaim you but our leaders that have turned some against some all in the name of 'our land'


big fool

My brother I wish and pray one day Nigerians will wake up.

In a developed country, those sellers could make it hot for who ever is making such a ridiculous decree

Laidebrain:
Sometimes I wonder what you people always think with your heads, will Ibo people install an Hausa man as a king just people they are doing so fine in Ibo Land, NO. So this is Lagos, A Yoruba Land, You guys follow the culture of Market place, where you have both Iyaloja and Babaloja. Which am sure they would be Yorubas. If you like protest from now till eternity, they will still Install them to lead you guys... Next plz

Are you sick on the head?

In these time and age Market head? What is even that.

What would there duties even be. To lord over the market?

Most of you guys need to move to animal kingdom.

T9ksy:
Last, last you guys will still have to obey the "Law of the land" - Afonja's rule and regulations else you are perfectly welcome to carry your products on your flat heads and relocate back to your hamlets.


As long as you lot chose to trade in our land, you are bound by our rules else you can naff off. No biggie

Law of the land my foot.

Your thinking capacity is zero.

Is law there to protect and make life easier for people or is it there to persecute and cause hardship to people?


Nigerian problem like you

olaadesino:
The best thing is to relocate rather than to cause unrest in the society

Can you listing to yourself
Am soo ashamed of the comments coming from some of the yorubas.

Our land? And all that.

Bunch of losers!

Now an igbo person cant stay in any part of Nigeria and do there business again?

Tribalism has completely clouded most of ur guys brain

andrew444:
I just hope I will get it on Monday

I will give them throughout next week self

If no response next week I will go there for passport withdrawal without thinking twice

dont worry you will get it whole of next week might be too much even.
Just grab a chilled coke sip and watchout

These is really a bad feeling

People who applied for visa April already got there? And the once who applied February until now no news,


It's really nice

andrew444:
Bros so i cant go on vacation in peace abi ?because they are xenophobic oh common bro

Which country you want make i go for vacation? so na you go tell me where i go go right?

Take it easy bro and stop having grudge against south Africa

All countries get their own for body

We cant always generalize. Even among Nigerians you will find xenophobic people, that word is not meant for south alone.

I can stil tell you that what most of our people do in Sa if table were turned and it happened to be others doing it in Nigeria maybe there would be more than xenophobia.

I have meet lots of Sa people whom to me are more welcoming than even our own people over here.


What we should be talking about is for our people to respect there host (sa) or any other country they go to.

saintobi009:
Did your sister submit study visa ? Please how long has it been now ? Also do you know how long study visa takes now generally , I mean the time frame

andrew444:
Just did a phone interview

Serious!

Please what were you asked so I can inform my sister incase if she is called

anotherguyonNL:
So does that mean the xenophobia can start at anytime? When you say play safe what exactly do you mean? Do they attack random Nigerians or is it targeted?

No is not like them targeting Nigerians randomly.

Just that crime can be high generally so being safe is always advisable both locals and foreign

Johny2015:
My medical insurance is from January to December, 2019. However, I wont be entering South Africa until next month due to visa delay and some personal issues.

What can I do to extend my cover from the period of my arrival (May, 2019 to April 2020) or it is not possible?

John though am not able to answer your query

But please may I ask.

When were you supposed to resume school and when was ur visa issued.


Am asking these because on my sis school acceptance letter the school stated commencement date 25th February. Though due to some delays the application was submitted late on the 21 February.

Until now the visa is not out yet.

My worry and concern is if the 25th daye would impact the visa. (Undergraduate studies)

Please anyone who has idea to these your informed input would be appreciated
