@AFRICANKEL,please respond. I want to know if you submitted an application form when you applied for russia visa. I need list of all the documents. Thanks
Permit me people for asking here, i cant find the russia thread.

Africankel:
Yes, I filled the form online, printed and submitted at the embassy. Documents submitted were 1. Visa application form, 2. Invitation letter, 3. Flight reservation. Nothing more. Although I went with hotel reservation, insurance, and evidence of work - but they didn't request for it.

hunee:
the invitation letter is very compulsory? how about hotel reservation can it fly? in absence of invitation

Africankel:
The invitation letter is mandatory and cannot be substituted with hotel reservation. I believe you can buy an invitation letter from travel agencies for around $200. Certain hotels can also issue same if you pay fully for your reservation.

I received a message via email on Tuesday that my application was in transit from the Consulate of South Africa in Lagos to the Visa Application Center. I also tracked online and saw the same message there. That I'll be informed when it's ready for collection
I didn't hear from them so I decided to track online again and it has changed back to Application is under process at the South African Embassy. Has anyone else experienced this before?

SuperL:
Hi,
I saw the same message on Tuesday too after then nothing else

SuperL:
Hi,
I saw the same message on Wednesday but I haven't checked it online.

Jamescool2:

SuperL:
I applied on the 25th of November. How about you?

Africankel:

Hi Africankel, you're doing a very good job on this forum. Please I need your direct assistance. I need to travel to South Africa in January. Please I need the steps on how to get my visitor visa as soon as possible with out any hitches. I am presently in Portharcourt Nigeria.

Restaurant92:
Hello guys,
I will appreciate if someone can kindly explain the sticker visa application process.
I'm seeing a link to download form on VFS site. Is it actually a paper form one will download and fill? Or this is an old process?
How will one schedule an appointment please? Also, do you have any idea of how early can one secure an appointment?
Is a physical portrait photo required? If yes, how many please? If you also have information on the fees to pay at VFS, kindly share. As one needs all the info one can get before going to those guys, who are notorious with extortionist practices.

I was once issued a 1-year SA visa like 3 years ago, I gave an agent to sort out then. I want to apply by myself this time around, is there anything I need to do to secure this 1-year visa again?
