I have been to SA thrice this year and my visas came out in less than 7days, and i think the last one was just 2days. I am a frequent traveler,so our cases are not same.
For someone i know traveled recently, visa came out in 10days. SA visa is also quite tough to get now, you have to get your applications right. I wish you luck.

Therxymora:
Please for the marriage certificate, do i need to notarize it too before authenticating?, or is just authenticating at Ministry of foreign affairs enough?

osorex:
Good day
Please My E-visa was denied with the reason "The bank statement is invalid and therefore you do not qualify for a visitors visa".
My statement of account was signed and stamped on every page.
I don't know where I went wrong, Kindly advise please

Hi folks, just to update for those in similar shoes:
1) my e-visa is out - today Thursday 17th
2) applied on Tuesday, the 8th (night) . So basically it took 7 working days/1 week and 1 day
Used DHA
3) you really may not need police report , if you’re going on visitors less than 3 months.
I used th following docs:
1) flight itinerary
2) passport
3) hotel booking
4) conference invite letter
5) personal introduction letter
6) 3 months bank statements
7) confirmation of employment letter
8. 3 months payslip
9) past visas and current residence permit in the UK
10) submitted yellow fever card but don’t think it’s relevant (it’s expired and I’m not travelling through a yellow fever region anyways). Just added it in case

Best of luck to everyone else.

I applied on 5th of may 2023
and got my sticker visa in 5 working days.

mechango:


Sticker or evisa?

Pacaveli:


Mine was a study visa nd it took 5months plus, eventually came out with an error. I returned it through vfs Lagos, weeks passed by and no response, had to follow up directly with d embassy only to discover they didn't submit my passport. If u resides in the south or West nd u want swift response nd u have money to spend, I'll suggest you submit to vfs abuja, they deliver documents to the embassy every day, that I witnessed.

AyaTiraj:
Yea approval within 72HRS of submission

H100:
To keep hopes alive
When is your traveling date?
I submitted documents for holiday visa in Lagos on December 1, 2022. Got submit passport text yesterday March 15 which I did today.

Anu24:

Thecassanova:

Graceness777:

Thank you! Some good news. It would be good to know the length of time they waited for their outcome just to have an idea of the average processing time. It’s beginning to look like 6-9 months wait time for Jan-Aug 2022 applicants; don’t know about September 2022 upwards. At least, knowing will help others to manage their expectations.
