Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by kachiz(m): 12:42pm On Feb 11, 2020
Hi Guys,

I am trying to apply for a visiting visa to see my brother and spend 1 Month in SA.

I am a freelance Web designer and I offer my services on an American Freelance website, Upwork.

I have gotten the following documents ready from him;
-letter of invitation
-Proof of residence in SA (utility bill)
-6 months SA bank statement
-SA passport for proof of identity (All certified)

Then for me;
-3 months bank statement
-CAC business name registration dated ( registered November 2019)
-Plus the other documents listed on the vfs website

I do not have a letter from my employer since I work freelance. What can I do about this?

I have a USD domiciliary account that I receive funds with for my work, do I need to attach the account statement for my domiciliary to support my income flow and if I do, do I need to explain this in detail in the introduction letter?

Lastly, I would appreciate it if someone can help me with a sample of an introduction letter.

Many thanks!

@ kachiz

You are good to go.

In your introductory letter, state that you are a free lancer, include a profile of work done so far.

If you have good inflow on the dollar account please add it.

Please the certification on ID documents have to be clear, like the black stamp has to be very visible.

hello house,
my wife and son were denied tourist visa today but this would be her second time visiting , i hold a 3years voluntary visa

the reasons for denial was

Unverifiable Father's consent Letter
- No Utility Bills / Proof of accommodation for spouse in RSA

here are my questions

When reapplying do i submit all documents all over again such as application ,bank statement ,sponsor letter, wife employment letter etc Or do i just write a letter only indicating our visa denial issue
- Do i need to certify the Father's consent Letter
-Do i need to certify the utility bills?

i have paid for a 10days hotel for them i do not know why utility bill is required

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mroyato(m): 5:03pm On Feb 11, 2020
Hi Kachi,

Good afternoon. Since you have a registered business, please write a letter of self introduction on your business letterhead. Also submit your CAC as proof of ownership and possibly tax certificate if you have.


Here are some of the details to include in your self introductory letter;

- Start with your name and passport number, age and nationality in the 1st paragraph.

- In the next paragraph, state what you do and your reason for wanting to visit the republic.

- In the last paragraph, assure them that you will be law abiding and will leave the republic at the expiry of your visa.

From what you have said, your brother is a citizen of South Africa so I do not think there should be any issue(s) with your application.

Good luck.

I stay in Milnerton Area. I believe you can get a Bachelors apartment for 5k or a little less, depending on who you are dealing with {Agent or Owner}.

Thanks a lot for these pointers...

Possible areas would be Century city or Milnerton. Preferably an apartment that is ensuite, no sharing.

Transportation should not be an issue.. Seems its relatively fair.

Thank you for the response.

The certifications on the documents are all clear.

I would do like you advised on the introductory letter.

The reason I wanted to add the domiciliary account is to show my income flow, I don't save money on it so the balance is very small.
Do you think I should still add it?

Thank you for your response.

I do not have a business letterhead, do you think I should get one or can I use a normal a4 paper for it?

And thanks for the pointers for the introductory letter

I'd like to share what my experience has been with this great house, I have been encouraged by reading successful visa applications on this platform and I think it's only necessary that I take the favour and pass it forward. I first conceived the idea of applying for the SA Critical skill visa about 3years ago but due to one reason or the other, I procrastinated the decision till August/September last year. It was at that point that I start processing the necessary documents, I started with SAQA, ICITP, documents validation/verification etc etc. After completing the necessary docs / requirements, I finally applied for the CSV on 12th November. May I also add that I didn't have any serious funds in my account, believe me, the amount in my account the day I printed my statement of account was lower than what most people have been quoting (let's leave that at that).
After the application submission at the VFS, the wait started, around mid-January, I started sending weekly emails and reminders to the SA High Commission email addresses shared on this platform.

To God be the glory, I got some emails and text messages yesterday that my passport was ready for collection. The passport got delivered to my office earlier today and I was granted a 1year Exceptional Skills permit that is extendable to 5years based on some conditions.

I decided to share this story to encourage everyone still waiting for their Visas on this platform. Good news is coming your way too.

Cheers.

In the spirit of giving back.......

I applied for my visiting Visa Jan 22nd and got a pick up notification on the 31st of Jan.....picked up but it was a Visa denial.....
Been to SA about three times so was shocked.... because the reason for the denial was just that my hotel could not confirm reservation....

It was very flamsy" then i thought maybe they were just angry that i was given my 4th Visa to SA last year"2019 Oct" and couldn't make the trip, because by the time my daughters Visa came out mine had expired....

To cut the long story short....i reapplied last week thursday and i got a notification for pick up 4 working days after(on wednesday)got my passport yesterday (thursday) and my Visa was there.

All the very best to all those waiting for theirs.
Best Regards.
