For people that have applied for study visa, it takes 8weeks to be processed as informed by SAHC, Lagos. The consular staff claimed they are aware that schools in SA have resumed and lectures have commenced therefore, they are prioritising study visa processing.

@All

This talk about bribing SA embassy and agent has to stop, this sort of discussion will not take place here.

If they would issue receipt, then its not bribe. I would have to go look for the post and drop it here.

Meanwhile, has anyone wondered why the numbers of Nigeria consular are not going through?

“To ensure that the entrance clearance is not delayed, our client paid close to N200,000.00 for VIP visa fees for the four delegates. However, for the past three weeks the Embassy has failed, refused and or neglected to release the said visa/ passport of the four delegates without any information, despite repeated demands made by our client with even a letter of reminder dated 13th November 2018 sent to your office and series of emails sent,” the letter said.

Was that a bribe or visa fees for express visa processing ?

Adsales:
The way the SA High Consulate in Nigeria delays visa applications is crazy. Imagine a useless country like South Africa holding onto people's passports for weeks, some people book flights, hotel accommodation, make solid travel plans, prepare to attend conferences and then they treat our applications with disdain like time is not of the essence. Better countries at least respect timing. What a waste of time and money. Never again.

If the Country is useless then why are you crying and gloating over their VISA, why don't you stay back in your useful Nigeria, why bother spending so much to travel to a useless Country?? I believe you are one of those who is looking for an escape route out of Nigeria hence your desperation. My advice to you, stay back in Nigeria and find something doing,be useful to yourself first before thinking of where to travel to, don't come here and add to the problems some useless Nigerians are already creating here. Thanks

Don't be rude sir

You where making sense till you are advising him to stay back home,he can decide to go anywhere he likes .

Who told you he will come there to cause problem ?

Who told you he will be like the useless Nigerians over there ? We have so many genuine Nigerians ,what are you feeling like by talking down on someone ?

Stop addressing people in such way .

Peace

It has stopped

You have deleted the comments already .

Well, i totally agree with what he wrote. Some people have a sense of entitlement. South Africa is a sovereign nation. They get to decide WHO enters their country and HOW you enter their country. Entering their country is NOT a right, it is a privilege. YES..... it is sometimes irritating how they handle visa procedure and processing but that is totally their discretion. You dont like how they handle their business, DONT apply for their visa. It is that simple. I have submitted my passport for visa renewal for the past 7 weeks. I have 5 previous visas and if approved, this will be my 6th SA visa. Their form stated 6 business days to process your visa but before you submit your application, those VFS guys will make you attest that your application might take more than 6days and the moment you write and sign that statement, you are at their mercy. A lot of people are illiterates when it comes to things like this. They just write and sign what they are told to without really understanding what it means. LOL

BTW, i am pulling my passport if i dont hear from them in the next 1 week..

I guess you didn't read what the guy wrote, I suggest you go back and read what he wrote.

Hope you know I said you are making sense at first ?

But the guy didn't say he is going there to do nonsense as you suggested or maybe think

hehehehehe @ DrCollins218, you said Adsales sounded what? have you forgotten so soon? you were once depreate here too? and in the School of Success . desperation gives birth to 'breakthroughs.'

It was your desperation that got you the help that approved your visa and released your passport. After many Months.

Everyone has ther way of handling issues of life / stress.

I am not a supporter of idle text, but we all know sa is beautiful n blessed,(even d consular read dat part of useless sa n smile hw much more our own pp) common sense will tell us why he said all that. He wasted a lot of time, money etc... he only needed encouragement and maybe assistance on what and what to do. we should all be like this user: Diamond1960 and so many others. some of the help we get here free of charge worth millions. go out der and see what agents re doing making billions because of this setbacks.
some ppl can commit suicide becos of little things we should all try to save life...by enoucrain.
if your visa was released does not mean u are well known, smart or favoured.

sa Embass used to be fast...no mata the nos of applications dey received daily etc...
They could be a problem and am praying for divine solution!

Ppl stop complaining, put this whole issues in prayers.

thank you!

*Application received at SA Embassy lagos on the 8th January

*Notification for collection 1st of March by Email no text message was sent.
