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

No! It’s the SA host that needs to give him utility bill like electricity or water. This is to confirm the physical address of the SA Host and less likely his name. Wetin SA High Commission wan use Naija Nepa bill for ?

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.

The South African Consul General in Nigeria, Mr Darkey Africa has revealed that the submission of fraudulent documents is responsible for the delay in the issuance of South African visas to Nigerians.

Darkey added that the other reason for the delay is the high demand for the visa. He made this revelation known to Tribune Online in a chat yesterday.

Meanwhile, Africa noted that the delay would be well managed if straightforward applications are made.

You know the demands for South African visas is quite high and the turnover takes too long because people submit fraudulent documents.

“I have met the then President of Travel Agents. We made a presentation to them. We showed them the frequency of fraudulent applications as opposed to those who are compliant.

“We told them if we eliminate this, the turnover will be as quick as imagined.” He said.

“There is probably a misunderstanding. The rules and conditions for applications are the same.

Any embassy you go to, it is the same answer given by their officials. Nigerians are noted fo forgery of documents and fraud. This is what led to internet fraud and This is why our prayers do not get answered by the Almighty God. Presenting forged documents to embassy officials lengthens the time it takes for verification.

To do a diligent vetting of these falsified documents will waste time. At the end, the official will reject the application. Nigerians will go out to complain that the embassies are not issuing visas to them. Whereas, it is their faults. These officials have their country’s national interest and These are the Nigerian citizens that go overseas to soil the name of our country by becoming vagabonds and rely on their host country’s hospitality and behave badly when they do not meet the expectations of their host country. To the foreign embassy thoroughly vet and only approve visas for those applicants with genuine documents

That is utter rubbish, if frauds are detected, reject the application and return people’s passports. That gives you no right to hold peoples passports for one year. Then you do same for people that submitted honest applications. Please tell us something else.

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

Urgent




Tryhard:


E-Vfs would have been better for you. Because it takes like 10working days processing time for short visit. It would take a bit longer for physical submission. They would treat your short visit application like long term. I’d only advise those going for long term to submit physically. But short term use the E-VFS Route because it’s faster. Now you have your passport, you can apply now so you won’t hear they have backlog online again.
