No, it won’t work. There is Forex scarcity right now and CBN has directed all these banks to limit their international spendings on the Naira card Some banks 20$ some 10$, some nothing at all, every month. So use a dollar domicillary card or Chipper card.

Just created my account and I don’t know how long i will get my chipper cash card. I need to pay for the reservation today

GloryJoyeux:
Hi again, not sure that is a good idea.

You can open a Chipper account, or use a dorm account card.

You can also try a reservation with the site I earlier mentioned visareservation dot com (55 USD for flight and hotel package, only hotel is 40 USD, only flight is 35 USD)

The Chipper rate as of last week was 750 (they use parallel market rate)

Cheers.

chipper rate N750/$ wow!
Its useless to me then.. and did you paid fully for your hotel before embarking on your journey ? Cos i heard immigration officers will confirm before they give you a pass.. or you only made a confirmed reservation with no advance payment

.

iaskquestions:
how much will i pay in naira for this?

Blurpy:
47 naira per Rand

ok

Hello house,

I am typing this just to make my little contribution.

A reliable agent billed me 180k to apply for a visitor visa. This was beyond my budget, so I decided to do everything independently.

I applied for e-visa through 'saonline vfsevisa (dot )com' total cost was 87 USD

I got my hotel and flight reservation through 'visareservation (dot) com' total cost was 55 USD ( they deliver the itineraries to your mail within 24hrs). Their reservation are valid up to 2 weeks.

After getting the itineraries, I proceeded to register on the VFS e-visa platform. Note: you will need a scanned copy of all supporting documents, the size of which must not exceed 1MB

Some documents I submitted

Passport - 10 yrs validity
Yellow card - Lifetime (make sure its verifiable through the barcode on the card)
The hotel and flight itineraries I mentioned above
Three statements of account (1st was salary account, closing balance about 50k Naira {inflow and outflow of 11m}. 2nd was secondary income account, closing balance of about 150k Naira {inflow and outflow of 28m}. 3rd was savings statement, closing balance 5m Naira plus)
Daily itinerary of what I will do each day
Self Introduction letter
Employment-related documents ( I did not submit an introductory letter)
Property documents (multiple land c of o's, also have a house which I provided the documents for)
Family documents ( I am not married, but I submitted my sibling's and parents' ID cards)
3-month payslips
Affidavits
Birth certificate
Pension statement ( 5m Naira plus balance)

I used a Chipper USD card to pay the 87 USD fees

I applied last week and my e-visa was approved in 5 days, with Multiple entries (they also added two days extra to my requested stay period)

Note also, if you missed any document during upload, or you uploaded a blurry document, VFS will send you a mail to re-upload the documents (12 hrs timeframe). When the visa is approved, VFS will send you a mail, with your e-visa.

I really hope I have helped someone with the little information I have provided. Wish you all success in your future applications.

please how many months were you given?

GloryJoyeux:
Hmm,

I did not pay fully for the hotel and flight, it is a reservation that expires after 2 weeks. It is just for visa purposes.

When your visa is approved, you then get a real hotel of your choice through any other available means!

The package on the site is 55 USD inclusive of flight reservation ( 55 x 750 chipper rate = 41k naira)

Hope I have clarified things.

Cheers.

yea got my visa already.. was only askin if you paid your hotel reservation in full after getting your visa approved before traveling .. anyways i will pay mine today

iaskquestions:

About this chipper cash app.. I tried using it today

I thought of using their virtual USD card today and the rate there was alarming. I tried adding N500,000 to my virtual USD card and it gave me $649.47 .. Okay, so i tried withdrawing from my USD card to my Naira wallet and i was given N455,832 .. this means i have lost N44,168 in less than a min hahahaha.. How do you guys cope with this app? Is there a better alternative?

Please DM me if you need to make any payment in South Africa in Rands. Cheers.

Good morning, thanks for these tips o! Please can you again specify the portal you applied from or pls DM me with it? Thank you

SA’s missions in Nigeria have laid on extra staff to speed up the visa-issuing process for business people and academics wanting to come to the country.

Home affairs has deployed two additional staff members [in the consular section] to try to assist with the backlog we’ve been facing as far as the issuance of visas is concerned

Guys I'm new here. Please help me out. I urgently need to book for nursing exam visa in SA. It will take just about 3 days or 4 max. What category of visa should I apply for and which service or office should I go through. In the past few months, many colleagues have been denied visas after retaining their passports for months. Thanks.
