Nobody is permitted to know and be told your account balance , it’s against the law In any country.
Consulates aren’t exempted.
Your account can be verified if it’s genuine .
If you are not an International Criminal no one will disclose your account details..
And for the Part B, which is prevalent in the US , it still has to be with your consent.

Hello moderators. Salutations!

As I’m already registered for the current academic session, I want to ask if:

1. 1.5 - 2.2 million naira is a good bank balance for a study permit application for a 2 year Msc programme.

2. The South African Home Affairs will verify the current account balance or just the confirmation of the dates from the statement of account submitted within the 3-months highlighted.

3. I can spend a little from the current bank balance to sort certain needs.

I submitted my application at VFS Global in Lagos last week.

Pls note that I’m already registered for the first year of the programme while still here in Nigeria.

Thanks in anticipation.

Good afternoon KINGS. My application for tourist visa was granted today for me and my son. But the entry and expiry date on mine who is the main applicant is 15/12/24 to 18/01/25 and my son who is a minor is 12/01/25 to 18/01/25. Has anyone had this issue? How can I address it. We are supposed to travel together to see my husband for Christmas. I don’t know what to do now

Experienced travelers and those who have travelled with minors and have experienced this.
I need HELP

Africankel responded already.
Minor or not, the visa should be same duration or starting at same time.
So contact DHA and let them know.
Changing it is what I can’t guarantee.
They have made too many mistakes on people’s applications recently.

Can someone use opay or kuda bank statements for evisa

Hello Everyone,

Please, I have this question. I was given a multiple-entry visa to South Africa today, and I would love to apply for my wife and daughter.

How do you think I should proceed with it so that my wife and daughter are also granted visas?

Thank you very much for your response.

I’ll be glad if you can also respond to the first and third questions too.

1. Is 1.5 - 2 million naira enough as bank balance?
2. Can I spend from the bank balance after submitting my application?

I’ll also appreciate contributions from other experts.

please respons

1. While there's no written rule as to the amount of money you need in your bank account, I personally think ₦2m is too small for a 2-year MSC Programme, even if you are on scholarship, this amount is still too small to show as living cost for two years. Irrespective of my personal opinion, it is the VO that'll decide whether or not to grant your visa on the balance of probabilities.

2. Yes

No.

Greetings House. Please what is wrong with evisa. I applied for over 1 month yet no response. Please advise.

DHA system had been up and down several times within the last month. They have also had to do several hauling.
One month is still within their normal time frame.
Hopefully you hear from them soon enough.

However, if you still have time, you can put theirs in for submission too.

Invalid doesn't mean it's fake. It may be that the statement was printed over 7days before the application was submitted.
I had a similar experience with VFS eVisa recently, I had to resubmit a new application with a statement printed just a day before the submission and the Visa came out in less than a week. All other documents remained the same.

No one on this forum said it was fake.
The applicant should know more than we do about the said statement.
Validity, If it’s duly stamped physically , If the bank responded to DHA, if the website of the bank hasn’t had issues recently to deter them from getting external mails.
Several factors could have been the issue.

I just shared the experience I had with the Validity issue and how I handled it in response to the question. And your only take away from my response is my mention of "fake". Sorry Sir, no vex.
