Please which bank's account statement did you use? I am beginning to think they are not accepting the one downloaded from the GT platform (the stamped and signed one)

Sageofekiti:
My e-visa application was approved. I just received the notification.

Guru, do you think I should apply via DHA's e visa platform again? I was rejected late last month

Please can Naira cards pay for online evisa?

I need help with the payment....
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 10:58pm On Sep 07, 2023
425 rands is the fee. Pay with a usd card, contact your bank for that. If you use gtb, tell them a prepaid dollar card is what you need, fund it with 30 dollars and make payment online. simple

Good to know you have been to SA twice. Nothing has changed , same documentations, but processing times are longer. You can start your planning now.

I already booked with them before I saw nasty reviews on net from customers. I just hope I'd be lucky to get a nice experience this time. I don't think Taag Angola flies on Fridays.



Thanks for the update, I already book the ticket also for Tuesday flight from Lagos to Johannesburg and the problem here is that I have VFS E-visa so am worried if that won’t be an issue because of the review am seeing here about them having difficulty confirming the visa.

Hello
Please what was your experience with TAAG?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by destinedtee(m): 8:11pm On Sep 09, 2023
Please, what exactly does SA department of home affairs mean by citing INVALID BANK STATEMENT?

This response isn't peculiar to applications from Nigeria alone. Someone in Cameroon got the same response as well.

Even with a reference letter here in Nigeria, they still render bank statements invalid.

Has anyone been able to scale through this challenge? Share your experiences to help please.

Hello, please I'm applying for a conference visa but I am being asked for a police clearance certificate as a required document.
I don't know why my own case is different.

Other people that have applied for conference visa based on this thread, it was not a requirement for them.

What do you think could be the problem?
Can I abandon that application and start all over again as time isn't on my side to process a visa before the conference date.

Thank you
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Africankel(m): 7:02pm On Sep 11, 2023
If your account statement was downloaded online, you should take it to the bank for physical stamping, irrespective of attaching a reference.

I submitted a hardcopy application at VFS on Friday, and was asked to go to my bank to stamp my statement, even though I attached a reference letter. Mind you, this would be my 8th SA visa (the last one expired five days ago). This people no send you o.

In follow-up to this, I tried creating a new application, filled the form, submitted but it was automatically rejected because of my previous application which is still open and awaiting document submissions (I've not tried submitting this one because of the missing police clearance).

Do you know how I can cancel the application and start a new one? i have not done any payment yet.

My guess about the police clearance even though i applied for conference visa might be because I put a UK address for the field that says past address other than present address over the last 10 years. And I think this police clearance is referring to UK police clearance and not Nigeria police clearnace.

The issue it will take time to get this clearance and my conference date is this month already. cry[color=#550000][/color]

I picked my SA Police clearance certificate last week . I got the Nigerian pcc before i traveled in Abuja.

It is simple to get pcc, either you use alagbon or louis edet,abuja.

If you are using Abuja, Ask of Madam Helen at the Forensics department. She will get it done Asap.

It cost 170 rands in SA and can not be done by proxy. You have to be on ground because your finger prints will be collected.

For SA pcc, i applied june and got it just last week.

Sorry please, I thought SA PCC is donw when you submit your application at VFS in SA.

Use this link for Pcc, cost 30k. When done with the process, visit Louis edet. All these processes are very seamless. Just patiently follow it through.
