Please, will the embassy accept Airbnb reservations where I have paid part of the accommodation cost?

Really sucks how South African embassy finds it so convenient holding on to applications for tourist visa for months. I think it's best we protest. We can't continue keeping mute and allow them continue with this substandard act. We paid for the visa, so it's our right. My people wake up!!!

you can’t pay direct, you can only pay through Airbnb, and they are mostly not hotels...people give out their accommodation for rent...something like that, and Airbnb is the host. All transactions must pass through them.

That email address is incorrect, you are missing ".za"

It should be veronica.loving@dha.gov.za

You really don't have to pay part of any hotel reservations for a visa application, it's not advisable.. You can reserve an accommodation for free to submit with your application.

Peace

You can book/reserve without paying.

Do it a day before submitting your application.

Just go to South African Airways & place a reserve. Print & add to your application. Shikena

Your case is special and should have been attended to if you sent a mail to the addresses given.

Please let me advise at this point that you don't need to send an email to the email addresses given if your application is less than 1 month with VFS. If it is less than a month, then they will stop looking at our emails because there has been no delays up until that point. This is generally for everybody.

But for you Hillbankz, you do have a case. Application since June 28 is unacceptable.

Compose a nice email, not one of those arrogant mails we like to compose in Nigeria (not saying you in particular do that), and send to the Director General. In the mail, explain your situation and request for assistance in finalizing the process.

I had to do the same for my wife's relative visa and I was assisted immediately (applied on 14th of June at VFS, sent mail on 3rd October to the DG, got VFS mail on 4th of October).

Also, once you send a single nice email, relax and let them do their magic. No need sending mails everyday or every hour to the email addresses provided (again, not saying this is you but some people do). Doing such will only frustrate them and they may switch on auto spam for your mails.

Cheers and all the best.
