Please does anyone know if an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Nigeria to the UK, with a lay over in Geneva Airport (Switzerland) require a transit visa?

You need a Schengen Airport Transit Visa. The visa allows its holder to connect through the international transit area of an airport in the Schengen area during a stopover or a change of flights. This visa does not allow its holder to leave the international transit area of an airport.

You must apply for an "A" airport transit visa (ATV) if you are having a layover in any Schengen state which includes Switzerland.

You do not require an airport transit visa if you are a holder of a valid visa for a Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area, Canada, the United States or Japan.

Applied via DHA since 27th JULY 2022, they just sent me a rejection mail this morning. (Reason: travel date has lapsed) when it's almost 6 months!

If your travel date has lapsed before getting to your application, its an automatic denial.

Apply again, this time use VFS E-visa route and make your travel date at least 1 month from your submission date.

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

Exactly as long as the expiration date isn't over one can travel.

Again if you are going to SA with E-visa, you will be stamped in until the expiration date stated on your E-Visa, don't say you weren't warned and arrive SA 3 days prior to the expiration of your E-visa, you will be stamped in until the exact 3 days remaining on the E-visa.

If you overstay on your E-visa you will be banned from entering SA for the next 1 year even if you overstay for just a day.

Be warned!!!

I see a lot of misconceptions about the E-visa, and I would like to clarify them for everyone reading this thread.

The E-visa is issued based on travel date; for example, you were issued a 2-week E-visa that is valid from Feb 1 to Feb 15. You must travel on February 1 if you intend to stay for the entire two weeks, because no matter what day you arrive at the South African port of entry, you will be stamped in until February 15.

If you arrive in South Africa on February 10, you will be stamped in until February 15, if you arrive on February 14, you will be stamped in until February 15, and the same thing applies to any duration of an E-visa; you will be stamped in until the expiry date stated on the E-visa.That is the condition of the E-visa, and the immigration officer can even show you his/her system to see the condition upon arrival if you seem confused. By the way, I'm talking from experience.

The condition of the E-visa is different from the Visa Vignettes (Normal Sticker Visa), whereby any day you arrive in South Africa, you will be stamped in for 30 days if given a 3-month visa.

goodlucktt:
applied on 12th Dec 2022

when is your travel date and did you request for 1 month visa?

mrmaze:

Thanks. I will wait until Monday.
It's still showing submission pending.

If its still showing submission pending, it means the payment didn't go through and you'd have to make another payment to complete the submission. Tell your friend to contact his/her card issuer to file a transaction dispute for resolution.

Tryhard:
I want to ask a quick question, for those that have been granted SA sticker visa which ever category of visa recently, the bank statement you submitted was it every page that was stamped or just the first and last page.

Just the first and last page.

Gernny:

Dapsyn33:

https://southafrica.vfsevisa.com/

Is this the legit website to apply for the evisa. I just needed to confirm as I see 2 different links on this thread

Both links are legit but the vfs route is faster.

dennis201:


I have 16 pages but not able to compress to 1mb that is clearer.
Do you have a better site I can do that

How many MB is it in total?

AskGod07:

Please is valid flight ticket and hotel required for E-VFS?

Urgent

Yes!

dennis201:


Is the fee same as that of DHA e visa too?

No, its 425 ZAR which equates just under 25 USD. But if you want to get a decision within a short period of time, i'd advise you to go with the VFS route.

dennis201:

How do I pay this o? I don't have dollar card

it can only be paid with a dollar card or any other foreign currency card which you don't have. however, you can register on Chipper for a Virtual USD card.

yes

dennis201:

Thank you.
Application fee for vsf e visa route is 87USD total. Am I in the right direction

You are wrong, its not Nepa Bill o, check the picture attached!

Tesclaros:
you wrong sir

Proof of residence is his Nepa bill current receipts or house rent receipts

Proof of Residence is either the Hotel Confirmation of where you'd stay in SA during your visit or Rent Receipt and utility bill of your Inviter.

Proof of Financial means is your statement of account showing you have enough balance to cover your stay while in SA.

dennis201:


Thank you I appreciate.
Please proof of residence is it our NEPA bill I go upload or the hotel am booking in south Africa.
Also proof of Financial means entails statement of account and payslips? Am I right.
Thank you

Naira Card has been capped to a maximum of $20 per month or its equivalent by the CBN on international transactions, so you can only pay the R425 with a dollar card which is between $25 to $27 depending on the bank rate.

crusader6:
I have been trying to pay for my e visa online but my cards are not working.. av tried Union and gt mastercard but its not successful. Kindly help.

Rachie83:
Thanks for your response but I am more confuse now cos someone here said I will have to renew my passport cos it must have at least six month validity before i travel in november but you said otherwise, please someone should help for more clarification.

Six Months Passport Validity Rule for entering the U.S. on non-immigrant visa. Visitors traveling to the United States are required to be in possession of passports that are valid for six months beyond the period of their intended stay in the United States.

Log in your Internet banking through Web, then go to your account activity click transaction details you will see the visa payment transaction there, just click view Receipt.

The receipt will open and you can save it as PDF or better still print it from there.

Cheers!

Isjaymoh:
Gud morning guru's. I have a question to ask concerning my ds160 form. Actually there's a place that says "Monthly Income in Local Currency (if employed)" I'm self-employed and how should I do these part? Should I do the calculation of the amount earn monthly and state it there. Or click does not apply. Help!

Put the Estimated amount you earn monthly! Do not click does not apply.

Cheers.

WESTERNCR:
Please advice my brothers were not interview today because barcode on their DS160 does not tally with their appointment letter. What can be done to correct this anomalies?

They should wait for two days, probably by Saturday or Sunday their Visa fee receipt would be reactivated.

See what they need to do below:

-They should fill a new DS 160 form which will generate a new barcode or better still they should retrieve the previous application and click create a new Application which will also generate a new barcode for them and they wont have to refill their details again except their travel plans.

-After completing the form they should log in to the appointment page and Update their profile with the New DS-160 Barcode respectively then book a new appointment date with the visa fee receipt number.

Cheers!

Good morning forum members...I need clarification, I was refused on Tuesday, spoke with an uncle who's in yankee about it and he fumed that I never informed him about my visa application. My uncle is a retired us soldier, in my application I chose not to state I have a relative in yankee as I have no intention of visiting him and now he has sent me and invitation and I will like to reapply again. Do I stand any chance this time?

Bro since you did not state in your previous application that you have a Relative there, will advice you not to put any relative in your next application cuz if you do so that is an automatic denial!

What I Think you should do is this: Chill and wait till after three month of your previous application and reapply with your family for vacation and make sure you maintain not having any relative there!

You might stand a better chance by going with your family!

Cheers!

Thanks to everybody on this thread, I learnt a lot to equip myself and my kids for our visa interview yesterday. We all got our visas approved though it was a stressful 1 because I had a 3 yrs old hyperactive toddler who didn't mind turning the whole embassy upside down. In fact, my 3 yrs old also interviewed our V. O and the lady who checked our checked documents. When the lady refuse answering her my daughter she started crying and they had to bring us to the front of the line and we had our section with d V O in the window 1 cubicle

Congrats!
