Hi this happened to me
All I did then was take a screenshot and write them and it was rectified in a week and some days


Plus using this site for now is not really a good idea as it's full of glitches and the process take longer than usual
I would advice you make use of the VFS site or submit physically

Africankel:
KQ has longer FLY time. They'll first take you to East Africa before heading South. TAAG will take you South three hours from Lagos, layover for whatever time and fly you to SA for another 2 and half or 3 hours.

So, it's up to you to choose.

Desperadooo:
Can I book a one way flight for a one year posdoc with TAAG on a long term visitor's visa?

Africankel:
Book return and cancel when you enter the country. It is important to show your intention to return to your country after your studies - and a return ticket is the only way to prove that.

Can I book a one way flight for a one year posdoc with TAAG on a long term visitor's visa?

Desperadooo:
I already have a one way ticket going, if I book another one way return ticket and cancel when I get there, will I be able to get a significant amount of my money back for a non refundable ticket? It's will cost me about fir the return ticket alone with my children N1100000

Africankel:
Buy a fully refundable ticket on Qatar airways.

080bjaked:
If the condition of your visa doesn't require a return ticket, you are good to go but be ready to contest it with the overzealous, "I sabi pass everybody" custom officers at both MMIA and ORThabo.

hunee:
Hello, if you are holding a student visa. You can book one way.

However, check the conditions stated on the visa.

Desperadooo:
Thank you Hunee, it is a long term visitor's visa for postdoc. The condition did not request that I must have a return or onward ticket like the condition stated on short term visitor's visa

Africankel:
Buy a fully refundable ticket on Qatar airways.

hunee:
You welcome always. This is good, then proceed for a one way and ensure to have physical documents to show the profilers/immigration on your departure day; just incase need arises.

All the best.

MODIFIED:

@hunee, wait o, it's like SA High Commission is now processing applications fast. When I returned two weeks ago, I immediately reapplied for a longer time. Submitted on 13th morning and left for Moscow that night. I've just received an email requesting for my passport (exactly one week after submission).

hunee:
I was almost saying same. Someone reported 4days processing time.

hunee:
Interesting.
Congratulations

Please help!! @hunee

On the 26th of April, I tried to apply for an Evisa for my staff on the E portal however, this was around the time that the payment process was not working, so at the point of payment,t I git the blank processing page, just like other fonts here have complained. So I proceeded to the VFS appointment on the 2nd of May, where she went to physically submit her application.

She is yet to receive her passport back from the Embassy however, she forwarded an email notification she received from the SA Embassy today stating "correspondence for your attention - EVisa Application" (attached below).
I went to the Evisa portal and noticed that the application that I initially tried to submit for her on the 26th of April, which wouldn't submit due to non-completion of payment, had magically submitted and been marked as paid.
I clicked on the application reference, and I saw that it had the "eye icon" marked - Required Documents - 1st Notice.
Upon clicking on that, it downloaded a letter stating that she should submit all corresponding documents for her application (which I had already initially submitted for her). Please see below for reference.

My question is, should I just ignore, since she's already submitted her application through VFS, or should I go ahead and reupload documents? How do I go about doing so, because the e-visa portal isn't allowing me to reupload documents?

hunee:
Hi,
Goodmorning.
Evisa applications are not same as the physical ones.
So please proceed with the online one you were on earlier.
Whilst you await outcome of the physical application.

Good thing is that, you have an alternative now. Hopefully either of them will come.

"If you have uploaded all documents before " ignore it. It's an automated message.
Goodluck

Africankel:
Thank you for your response @hunee. We've already applied for the e-visa via VFS tonight, hopefully we get a response soon.

Yes, I've actually thought of applying for a long-term visa, but this particular trip was unplanned.

Merci

Imustreturn:
bro you said you applied for Evisa via VFS?

Imustreturn:
I am having this same notice email now. I've not been able to make payment for the Evisa online. I don't even know what to do.

Any help will be appreciated

Africankel:
Did both evisa from DHA and VFS, as well as sticker visa for my staff. For myself, I applied for sticker which was approved swiftly.
