Babsreus:
Please do you know how long it would take for the visa application to be approved.

I also just got the same mail from VFS and it's something I need urgently because I cannot reschedule my flight due to the event in going for.

You just have to wait,there is nothing you can do as such,except you contact the HC, that's if they will respond.

the thing just weak me. If you dont use these visas, they will likely not extend it to a year. So you really have to use it well

Hello Everyone.
Please, I have applied for a SA visit visa since May 30th, the last mail I got from them said it is under processing,g but that's since 2nd June.
I called customer care, and they said it's still with the consulate, and I don't need to come physically to their office.

Does it usually take this long? Is there anything else I can do, please?

Please can you guide me on how I can send a letter to the high commission.

A sample of the letter and where to address it to please, my visa was rejected because I didn't include my third name during application
Reapply. An appeal is useless. At least I tried it for my staff whom they denied due to their own negligence. After much pressure, they called from the HC and asked him to reapply that they don't go back to an already decided application.

Your application is handled in Lagos; Abuja won't act on your letter. In addition, if your trip is for tourism, I'd rather you wait it out. You should receive a decision within the 3rd month.

I'm sure they received the mail from DHL, don't bother them again, it might trigger a refusal.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Babsreus(m): 1:55pm On Jul 25, 2025
Please guys for application of Evisa

Which ATM do you guys use that would work for the Evisa payment because it seems that not all dollar cards work for payment.

Thanks
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Aquanitavit: 4:00pm On Jul 25, 2025
The refusal reason is accommodation not confirmed

Based on recent news on review of forex transactions on Naira cards, I think local bank cards should work.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 12:40am On Jul 26, 2025
I do not want to sound like i am discouraging anyone but oflate SA visa rejections has been so high.

I wish you guys Goodluck.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Sojeezy247: 7:52pm On Jul 26, 2025
