Good day House,

Please assist me with info, I applied for my child's visa this month (October) at VFS Lagos and the reference/tracking number given to me started with ZAF/LOS/..... instead of SALA/.....
Now, I can not track the application using ZAF/LOS/..... because the digits are too long, also when I changed it to SALA/.... it says NO RECORD FOUND. I have contacted VFS but to no avail.
Has anybody experienced something similar? Please assist on what to do? Is there another VFS tracking platform or an update in reference number.

Thank you.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Bolaji16(m): 8:38pm On Oct 22, 2024
I had similar issue. It's seems there is something wrong with the tracking system. However, if you paid for Courier services during your application. The tracking number given to you by the courier service provider (in my own case GIG Logistics) will be of great help. It'll only tell you where your application is at a given time and not the outcome/result of the application.

Also, if you subscribed for mail and/or SMS service, you will also be updated on the application status (whether it is at VFS office or at the Consulate's Office and vice versa)

Hope this helps.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1:
Lagos VFS uses ZAF/LOS now , not SALA.
As per the tracking it’s their website not the number given to you.
If you didn’t subscribe for SMS call the VFS on +234 815 018 8800 and they will tell you the current status of your application.
For the number to be trackable remove the slashes in between, but then people haven’t been able to track recently.

While there might be other alternatives, one method I always use when making payments of or for something in SA while in Nigeria is through proxy. It is always best to get someone who has a registered bank account in SA to help pay for any online service (as in this case now, SAQA) then you pay such a person the equivalent amount in Naira.

Please has anyone applied for South African eVisa recently? I tried to but the links for opening a profile don’t work.

I am resident in Rwanda and SA doesn’t grant visas because they have issues with Rwanda.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 7:54am On Oct 29, 2024
Which links or platform did you use?
As at 2days , account opening still worked on DHA.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by dubaiboy1: 8:18am On Oct 29, 2024
For Rwanda residents, you do it online and DHA works fine .. I wanted to submit paper application but the embassy in Kiyovu was closed, they stopped working for some time now , I heard.

Hello guys,
Please ,Anyone who have used TAAG airlines and had 15hours+ layover, please how did you cope and are they using the new airport now ? Thank you.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Adaokolo96: 1:27pm On Oct 30, 2024
Please my South Africa e-visa was just rejected on the account of submitting an invalid bank statement but I submitted the required 3 months recent bank statement (all pages stamped and signed statement gotten a day before visa application submission) and a reference letter from my bank. Account balance is more than 30m. My bank is First Bank. Please what would you advice me to do/change as I am about to make a new application? Thank you very much for your assistance.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 1:31pm On Oct 30, 2024
Unfortunately, several people have had this same issue with DHA recently.
It’s either they are trying to disuade people from using online DHA or they have another motive.
Yours is one the many I have seen recently.
I advise people do physical application for now instead.
E DHA has become a cash cow.
