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.

You don't need to submit your passport for CSV anymore.
According to VFS, when the decision is out, you have 6months or so to collect your decision else it will be returned to DHA or embassy.
And yes, you need hotel and flight bookings for CSV applications, POF isn't huge though (5-10k rands equivalent will do) as you must have a job offer to be eligible in the first place.

If you stay within the airport through your transit, you don’t need a transit visa.
Yes, you can move within those days.

On the vfs portal I only say appointment date for for Volunteering and it's a short stay appointment which is less than 90 day and I am going to volunteer for 6 months so what can I do ?


Secondly if the organization agree to sponsor my feeding, accomadation and also give me monthly stipend which will be stated in the invitation letter did I need to submit a bank statement again ?

This eVisa site is crazy. Now I can’t upload my documents.

Good morning house,

I have an invitation to attend a conference in SA as a panelist. I iused the DHA eVisa portal and until now, it’s still reading “Awaiting Adjudication outcome “.

But I’m checking on Nairaland (should have checked before I used the online portal 🤦🏽‍♂️) and some persons are saying physical application is usually better.

Is it possible to still go to their office and apply? Or do I wait until I get a response from them? My flight is on 7th Dec., 2024, so I don’t know if I still have the luxury of time.

I will deeply appreciate a response, house.

Atleast you'd stand a higher chance of getting a response before your travel date.

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share that my sticker visa has been approved! 🎉 I applied on October 18th via VFS Lagos for a tourist visa (first-time traveler) for myself and my daughter. The decision was made on November 18th, and our passports were dispatched yesterday to my address.

Visa Details:
Validity: 3 months
Entry Type: Multiple entries
Stay Limit: Maximum of 30 days per visit

Documents Submitted:
Introduction letter from my employer
Leave approval letter from my employer
Pay slips (provided by my employer)
Bank reference letter-stamped and signed with date physically
Bank statements (6 months, e-signed and stamped)-there was no physical stamp and signatory on my bank statement
Personal introduction letter
Yellow fever card (obtained from Port Health Lagos)
Flight itinerary and direct hotel reservation
Consent letter for my daughter (minor)
Immunization card....etc
I provided all the requirements listed on their official website to ensure a complete application.

Note: Both my passport and my daughter’s were virgin passports, but the visa was approved within a month of submission. Interestingly, the tracking page on their website does not seem to work. Even after receiving my passport, it still shows “no record found” when I enter my details.

Thank you all for your encouragement and guidance during this process!

Unfortunately, I’m not an advocate of people going to SOUTH AFRICA.
If it’s not study related and it’s funded.
If you aren’t a business person .
If you aren’t a frequent traveller that does for fun.
Then go else elsewhere.
Everything about this country from the application to what have become so stressful.
So what’s the point about SA, SA.
If you can maybe check other countries .
I’m not an advocate of SA and won’t be in a long time.
Factly they deserve to be on another part of Africa different from Nigeria.

So myopic , shallow yet arrogant set of people.

Adaokolo96:
Hi everyone, I’m applying for a South African visa and would love some advice. For the successful applicants, how did you handle flight bookings for your South African visa application? Did you book actual flights, use dummy tickets (and if so, where do you get them), or is there another method you use? Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

davodyguy:
There's no embassy that would request that you purchase a flight ✈️ ticket without the visa

Hence, only your reservation is needed, not paid ticket
