Good Afternoon Everyone

I got my study visa approved today after 2 months

Apparently it was processed weeks ago but I wasn’t contacted, I don’t know why

I sent an email to someone at the consulate and I got a call immediately, telling me that my visa was processed and I should meet Mr Ojo at the VFS centre to submit my passport.

Thank you everyone
Please can you share the email you sent your mail to?

Please If someone needs to travel to South Africa urgently a week before the valid date of their visa is it possible?

For example your visa is valid from 15th and you need to be there on 13th is there anything one can do about it?

No Sir, you won't even be allowed to board. You have to wait till the start date of the visa

You'll reapply
Hello house, I finally reapplied for the visa again but this time around I was refused. The reason according to them is that my bank statement is not readable but I can apply to have it reviewed within 10 working days.

Should I have it reviewed or just apply for another evisa all over again?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Sojeezy247: 3:59pm On Aug 12, 2025
Why not apply for a sticker visa and get a good invitation letter from a conference or company,so visa can be easier

Please How can I get an invitation letter??
So also, how do I book hotel reservation since booking .com isn't allowed for vfs submission?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Sojeezy247: 8:51am On Aug 14, 2025

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 9:26am On Aug 14, 2025
If someone comes here to tell you they recently got an approval. Sometimes it can be scam. Because they know you would dm them, to ask about how they successfully processed theirs

Stay alert ⚠️
Goodmorning house
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Sojeezy247: 12:03pm On Aug 14, 2025
Also base on your profession,you can look for conferences that are free in SA and get an invite also

Hello house, can I use my mtn in South Africa to access internet or must I buy another sim over there?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by horlorbah(m): 3:07pm On Aug 20, 2025
Hello house, I went to submit my SA visit visa at Lagos vfs on Monday. I paid #29.4k online before I could book time and date.
On getting to vfs, the guy that attended to me checked my documents and said I will be paying #37.4 then I challenged him to give me a full breakdown of what the 37.4k included. Then he started rambling and saying that's what people pay without asking questions but I still insisted on a breakdown then he wrote on my slip that visa fee was 24k and courier is 9.4k making 33.k instead.

At that point, I was angry and was about raising my voice and asking to see their manager then he quickly brought out POS and punched 19.4k (10.4k for visa fee and 9k for courier which was what I was supposed to pay. Then I paid.

Please you guys should be vigilant because these vfs consulars wants to reap where they did not sow.

BTW, I've not gotten any acknowledgement email or my application reference number from VFS since Monday that I submitted, please is this normal??
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Sojeezy247: 4:40pm On Aug 20, 2025
Your reference would be on your payment receipt
