Use a site like travelstart. Ng instead

I MEAN TRAVEL RESERVATION NOT BOOKING. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I THINK (travelstart.ng) IS A BOOKING SITE.

PLS, MY QUESTION IS, ARE THE GUYS RUNNING BUSINESS CENTRE AT THE VFS CENTRE LEGIT? WILL THEY ACTUALLY HELP IN TRAVEL RESERVATION? THANK YOU!

I applied on 25th of March ( Monday) using VIP ,vfs lekki Lagos and if I’m to recall while waiting at the VIP lounge, I read the poster “NOTICE” on the wall stating that the vip lounge doesn’t guarantee approval of visa neither does the VIP determine the success. From what I read, the vip is just to enable applicants to bypass the long hours of waiting using general waiting room

Have you tried checking your email ?

What is travel reservation? what is booking?

Travel reservation is also booking for a flight sir.

You reserve a space which will be cancelled in 24hours when payment is not made

Except you mean booking for hotel (hotel reservations).

PLEASE URGENT!!!!!

GOOD DAY HOUSE
PLS WHO HAS DONE SAQA EVALUATION FROM
UNIPORT HERE!

Did you pay for Courier delivery? If yes, go with your reciept, coloured copy of your passport data page and Invoice cum recipient given to you. If you can't find them, go with your data page, explain to the security even though they might be snubbish but take pain to explain to them, if you're still not allowed in, ask them to tell you what's required for you to go in and complain considering your situation.

If they don't profer solution it's preferable you do a little peaceful wahala , since you'll be next on queue bro...


Alternative measure is mailing Info.Zang@vfshelpline.com, present your prayers and if they respond; print it out and show the security.

Either or both ways should work... All the best!

Hello justwise and people in the house,Iamgrey5, Kombast, Mimicle101, and @ Andrew444. I have been silently following this thread for a very long time and I have learnt lots on this forum regarding the process, and steps by steps on how to obtain South Africa visa.
I’m having a serious problem and I want the house to help me out.

I submitted my tourist visa using the VIP section on 25th of March at vfs lagos centre. My question is this.
I lost my reference number through my phone and this has been difficult for me to track my application, so i had to travel from osun state ( Ile-Ife ) to vfs Lagos centre along with the photocopy of my international passport but I wasn’t allow to go in by the security mobile police and nothing yet in my email nor phone calls. Pls house how can I go about this.

This is the 6th weeks and next week will make it 7th weeks pls house am fed up

I paid for courier service and when they were to deliver it, my phone wasn't reachable so it was returned to VFS Lekki and I went with my reciept, coloured copy of passport data page and Invoice cum recipient to pick it up.

andrew444:


@kombast please how did you pick up your passport at your application centre ,was it lekki ?

What did they asked from you before they allowed you in ?

Okay thank you



But did you get a mail to know your passport is ready or you dont check your email?

Greetings from SA...

Guess you were stamped your visa, just that they gave you a week stay.

Present onward ticket means, you should travel in but you must have a return ticket or a ticket to take you out (return or onward) to another destination (If you have many waka).

They increased mine from 13 day to 15days. I wish i can dash you sef, because i'm only staying 1 week eventually. I no wan stay too much. I caught cold...

OK sir, how much does it cost to do the booking on travelstart.ng?
The one I did in January was thru another web & it cost me a sum, I need a cheaper alternative this time, as I have to submit my new application tomorrow, Monday morning!

It is free

Just go through the process

HOUSE, PLS I NEED AN URGENT HELP.

I NEED TO SUBMIT A FRESH APPLICATION TOMORROW, MONDAY MORNING AT VFS, LAGOS. AND THE ONLY DOCUMENT REMAINING TO COMPLETE MY FILE IS THE FLIGHT RESERVATION.

I received a suggestion that I could do it at the business centres around VFS, but I don't know how reliable those people are.

SO, I THINK IT'S WISE TO RECEIVE A BETTER ADVICE FROM YOU GUYS, ON THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT IT. I'm actually in need of the best cost effective method.

Thanks All!!

Please, how do I get rands when I’m traveling? I want to go with as much rand as possible in cash. I don’t want to use an ATM there

Buy Rand/USD from Nigeria bank.

Hello guys, please I need your kind contribution.
I am planning to resubmit the application for the renewal of my study permit.
I just want to know if I can submit the certified true copy of my South African
Police Clearance Certificate.
I submitted the original to the embassy during my first application that was
rejected in January. And applying for a new SAPS certificate will take close to
two months which honestly I don't have.
I was advised by a travel consultant that it should be acceptable, that I just add a
motivation letter explaining the situation.
I have all my other documents ready including the original Nigeria Police certificate.
Please guys what do you think?
Thanks.

Please has anyone ever done SAQA using OAU Msc before? I have been waiting for close to two months now and status still reads seeking verification. I do I need to go to the school and tell them to hasten up?

i’m Not sure banks sell rands o. Or you know of any? Would have preferred going with rand rather than dollars.

Aboki for muritala dey sell rands nah

I have even changed malaysia ringgit at the muritala airport some years back

Get PTA with your visa from Naija bank at good rate. When you get to J’burg airport change it to Rand from travelers shop at the airport. You will get good rate there.

Guy please can I use reservation I made from Radisson online to travel to johanessburg , I put in my card but they said they will charge it when I arrive , will it be okay at the POE to use this ?

Make this people just pity me give me my passport, i dont even care if i will be denied the visa anymore, almost everybody that i submitted before them have gotten theirs, i dont know why mine is different.

Nigeria bank sell usd and you can buy it. When you arrive SA you change it to Rand that is the best way.

Try banks in Island, I always buy USD when am in Lagos from Gtb in Island. If you need Rand they also have it

Bros i know you have been waiting for so long and i know how you feel, your visa is a study permit

Mine is just a tourist visa, how can tourist visa take so long? should i remind you i was called last 2 wednesdays? this wednesday will make it 2 weeks that i am being called

I have emailed vfs also, as they said my passport is not ready for collection.

What is my passport still doing at the south africa embassy, do they want to sieze my passport and eat it?

They should just deny me visa immediately and give me back my passport,i dont care anymore

Should i mention how many people that has gotten their visa , about 5 of them here that i first them to submit.
