Pls i need suggestions from those who have used the evisa system

I started an application last month for someone and submitted. But i realised there was a mistake so i have not uploaded documents or made payment to complete that application. I still have 7 days to submit documents.

So i started a fresh application, filled correctly, but i have not submitted yet. Is it advisable to submit the second one or should I wait for the first one to be canceled by the system?
I am asking cos some people said its automatic rejection if you have multiple applications.

Also, for those who have applied from outside Nigeria (uk, eu, etc) did you also get a request to upload police clearance and yellow fever certificate even though you are not traveling from Nigeria?

The whole evisa thing is confusing.

Still available? Can i contact you now?

If the second application is submitted, it will automatically be rejected once you submit the form because of similar application. It won't even proceed to the upload document sections.

If you are not in a haste, you can wait out your 7 days for the first application to get rejected so you can proceed with the second application.

I'm guessing the required documents is what put you off in your first application.

About police clearance, this is usually required when you answer you have lived in another country different from your current address within the past 10 years and the duration is more than 12 months (1 year). I experienced this first hand when I applied for conference visa and stated a UK address as my past address for over 2 years +. I was forced to get a police clearance from Nigeria (luckily it took me only a day).

I don't know about yellow card from other countries because I applied from Nigeria and it was a required document.
Or you can search online for countries that need yellow card for South Africa visa.

I would also advise to submit a dummy application like with different email, fake passport no, fake name etc with similar information as your second application so you can see what the required documents would be. This would help you to know beforehand what the required docs for your second application would be. Because if you submit your second application (after waiting 7 days for first application to be rejected) and you get required documents that you are unable to get, that's another 14 days wait for your application to be rejected before you can try applying again.

Thank you for the explanation.

The person is from Europe and has lived there for 7 years. I guess its because he added a Nigerian address for the remaining 3 years that is causing police clearance and yellow fever.

I'll wait it out and get the Nigerian police clearance. So weird that they are asking all of this for a 1 week visit

Please how long does it take to hear back from DHA, submitted an application for my son since 16th of August , it’s still showing awaiting adjudication outcome. Also, will I receive a mail when the outcome is out?

Finally got a response after one month plus, there was no link for the outcome or letter attached so I’m guessing it’s a rejection.

There won't be any link or attachment in the correspondence email.

You have to login to your dha dashboard and beside your application there is an icon (an eye icon) beside the awaiting adjudication outcome you have to click on to download the outcome.

With the Nigerian Police Clearance, the person has to have his/her biometrics captured (photo, thumbprint etc).
So a physical presence in Nigeria is required.

I also messaged the hacc@dha.gov.za regarding the PPC during my application and their response is quoted below:

Please be advised that a police clearance is required from any country that you have stayed at for 12 months or more.

So in your case, I don't know if a Nigerian PPC or a UK PPC can be used. Although the Nigerian PPC is definitely faster.
Alternatively, in the application, you might have to remove the Nigerian Address or at least reduce the year spent to bypass the requirements.

That's why I suggested creating a dummy / fake application with a separate profile so you can check out the required documents.

I didn’t see any eye icon though.

Hmm, this is how mine was.

I think other people in this thread had to email dha when they couldn’t view or download the outcome.

What is the maximum and minimum days to receive outcome my is In the 18day now, I thought E-visa will be faster

You have to email hacc@dha.gov.za and inform them that you are unable to download the adjudication outcome. They will do the needful. It doesn't take long for them to do that. I am speaking to from experience. God bless you

Yes. We had to send a mail to them. They eventually added the eye icon and we downloaded the outcome.

One cannot really predict them. I have heard of someone who got a response in less than 48 hours. I know someone who got in about 4 days. I also know another who waited for more than 10 days. Ironically, all these people got a rejection. Just be a bit more patient and stay optimistic.

Does it implies that having a delay in reply from them guarantee Visa Application approval?

Delays might have to do with the type of visa and number of applications at a time.
I got my conference visa in 4 working days.

Did you finally get the outcome? Was it positive?

I submit a physical application since on 12th of September but I haven't gotten any email and I don't know if it has gotten to Abj.
Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Well, it was asked for in the current visit visa i applied for on behalf of my friend. Despite the person not traveling from Nigeria.

The evisa required yellow fever card and police clearance to be uploaded. So does an applicant just ignore it and upload something else?

Honestly if anyone has applied for evisa tourist visa recently and gotten it without police clearance or yellow fever card, i will really like to know
