Visa on arrival abi, When you reach POE, you go know say Southy dey learn Xenophobia where Namibia dey
Meanwhile Namibia is not visa on arrival for Nigerians, I can bet my two balls on that. Namibia and Botswana have the strictest immigration in Africa

Bro why you wan go become illegal immigrant for SA.
E better make you become illegal immigrant for country like USA or UK than SA nah. This SA you wan use backyard enter no worth the Hastles . Except you get compass for yahoo or drugs. My opinion though, If your mind is made up, Toh,no wahala

I insist
Namibia is Visa on arrival for a Nigerian passport but their immigration at the POE might be strict thou, and ask for unnecessary requirements before granting entry

thompson4real:


Maybe I will Give this Namibia To Sa Route a try then.

But why do you want to enter SA by all means?
Whats the purpose?

I'm yet to understand why Nigerians are flooding south african embassy honestly, or there's any other SA I'm not aware of ni

Don't play yourself bro. That website isn't accurate enough. If it were VOA, trust me there would be high traffic there just as Kenya.

That's not true
People have loads of reason why they immigrate.
Kenya has many to offer than Namibia and the rest of the VOA countries.

The thing is, if you are staying in Namibia for less than 30days, you will get entry stamp on arrival but if staying more than 30days then you need entry visa.

Besides.... Have you been to Namibia before?

There are more opportunities in Namibia and Botswana than Kenya bro. Those countries are if not the best countries with excellent infrastructures in Africa, I mean their citizens never think of migration, and their immigration is tight if not boys for don full there. Even getting married to a Tswana girl doesn't guarantee Citizenship unlike SA sef. Check the ranking of the passports of Namibia/Botswana sef and see the visa free access they have to other parts of the world. Namibia would not give Nigeria passport holder entry stamp on arrival, when they know that you wouldn't return. The Nigerians in Namibia/Botswana entered from SA, Some Nigerians entered SA from Mozambique, if you doubt me, try getting the voa

Yea I know Namibia passport is one of the best but that doesn't translate they have more better opportunities or they are more developed.

Namibia is a very small country, the total population is around 2.6m people, so do you expect the citizens to be migrating and flooding other embassy?
Even with their small population they still migrate.

Can you tell me what Namibia has to offer/opportunities than Kenya?

Namibia is Visa on arrival for Nigerians, if you are still not convinced, then pay for my air ticket to Namibia

Seriously? You're capping bro.
Namibia has an area of 825km square. How is that a very small country? Namibia is more developed than Kenya and it's better than Kenya if you are going to seek greener pastures, you can take my word to any Bank. I would not pay your air ticket because you would be sent back at POE. Use your own funds to gamble. At lastly Namibians don't migrate for economic reasons.

So 825km square is a big country to you?
Population of 2.6m people is a big country to you.

U are even saying it with confidence when you have no first hand info about.

Namibia is more developed and better than Kenya in what ways? Kai

I think I'm done with this argument.

Hello guys, i have this info for you guys...

seems SA deny visa due to hotel unverified, if they cant verify your hotel booking, they wont give u visa... I think so many get denied cos of this... I was denied cos of this same issue... But am surprised, after booking my hotel via Protea Marriot hotel, i was sent a booking confirmation and it will be hold for 20days before i could make payment.....

They ask me to make written representation to the south african consulate within 10days

I dont know if i should re apply or what?

This is the decision note

Why should you?

Vacate somewhere else....
Your visa is purposely denied not that you did not qualify for it

So yesterday I got one of the greatest shock of my life, can you imagine after 10 weeks, SA embassy, Lagos denied my application based on “SCHOOL NOT RESPONDING TO VERIFICATION REQUESTS” isn’t that crazy? So they mean to say the school didn’t pick phone or reply emails for a whole 2 months and 2 weeks? Meanwhile I met a guy here few weeks ago. He applied to the same school and also same course, he applied 2 weeks after I submitted, his application was denied for the same reason after using 8 WEEKS. “NO RESPONSE FROM SCHOOL ON REQUESTS FOR VERIFICATION”. Meanwhile I’ve paid a total of 10K rands to the school, R5000 Is for health momentum (insurance) for a year and the other R5000 is in my schools account. The guy I met here contacted his school immediately after he submitted to inform them that the embassy will contact them for verification and they should watch out. The same school the embassy claimed didn’t reply them replied 2 of my emails this week, so how come they couldn’t reply the embassy for 10 weeks. This is not an ordinary school. It is a FLIGHT SCHOOL and the total amount for my training is over 15 million naira. Imaging the school loosing 30 million naira based on the stupid decision from the embassy? I mean how would the economy boost if they keep rejection students. Even Canada no reject students like this. It’s just crazy mehn. Worst part is I can’t appeal cos VFS in currently on holidays. I think it’s just 2 people that are at the embassy and the idiot that denied us just came last week and started making decisions without verification. He’s the same person that denied the 2 of us and even this guy visiting. LEAVE SA for now peeps. Sadly the ministry of foreign affairs knows about this but won’t do anything. What a government!
