Please note that SA will never delay application on the ground of invite or hotel bookings.

Hotel reservations or invitation doesn't have effect on application.

Just believe they will grant your visa irrespective of processing time.

Please note that SA will never deny you visa if you submit genuine documents and funds available in your submitted bank account, there may be delay in processing your documents and some people getting theirs in few days.

Hotel reservations or invitation doesn't have effect on application.

Know that different strokes for different folks.
Just believe they will grant your visa irrespective of processing time.

Thanks bro, just hoping for the best this coming week. grin

Hi Erin, I did go through booking.com and contacted the hotels directly. The ones whose rates were cheap enough redirected me to booking.com. Two of the hotels I found asked me to chat with me on whatsapp. They agreed for me to pay for two nights and after asking me if I had anyone in SA to make payment for me which I said no, they gave me a Nigerian personal accountin which to pay in. I'm scared to make the payment because I don't want to be scammed. I thought I was supposed to pay online with my MasterCard. Please did anybody pay into a Nigerian account? Did the hotel send a booking reservation after the payment? Abeg make una no taya for my matter o

@Spicemiee...
I can't advice u to pay to a Nigerian account
I wld advice that u either find a close relative in SA whom can help u pay n make sure u are paying into an account with d hotel name or pay with ur card...better still pay from ur 9ja account to the hotels SA account..dis last option is ur best bet d way dis thing is giving u issue n close on the bank rate....

If u accept to do via d last option...any hotel u contact tell em u can make payment into their account....dat reason dey wld not send u back to bookjng .com... d payment is d reason u are been sent back...

Wish u best...wish i can do more..

You don't have to pay for the hotel, book any hotel with free cancellation.

Send it via DHL and you'll have it in 2 days (N20,700).

I personally won't carry a pin for a stranger, especially, when traveling to SA or Asia.
