Congratulations puff! As you said you did the processing yourself, pls kindly summarize how you go about the whole thing from day one to the last day. Information on the followings will go a long way in helping people who are planning to tour SA.

* What are the documents you submitted

* How did you do the dummy flight booking that you attached to the other documents you submitted. You did it yourself or with the help of those guys at VFS office. Pls explain step by step you took to get it done if u did it yourself.

* How did you do the hotel booking for the submission. Did you pay for the hotel accommodation or just dummy as well. Pls explain the steps and how you did it directly with the hotel. Since third party is not allowed.

* For the bank statement, like how much do you think one should have in his account to be able to qualify for the application. You mentioned reference letter attached to the bank statement, can savings account holder request for such letter. What and what is vital in bank statement and reference letter that one must ensure its in place before attaching it to the documents one wants to submit.

* For the two letters involved, introduction letter and letter of recommendation from an employer, can we see the sample of the two letters. You can remove some personal details of yours and replace it with another thing. We just want to know how its being constructed so that one will not just go about writing long stories that will cause wahala for person.

* Lastly, pls gurus I want to know this. I have a friend who is an SA citizen, and he wants to accommodate me for the number of days I want to stay. Instead of paying for hotels, he said he will allow me to stay in his house. What do I tell the immigration officers at our Airport here in Nigeria and in SA. What and what does the SA citizen need to prepare for me to present at the POE?

I am very sorry for the long messages. Pls anybody with an answer to the above questions should supply. As many will want to benefit from it as well..

Thank you and stay safe

1. There are 3rd party agents that will help you get your documents notarized in Abuja. You sincerely didn't have to travel.
2. Airline bookings and Hotel bookings are free. You should never have to pay a dime for them until you get you visa. You can easily download an Airline App (or use their websites) to book flights for visa applications.

Good day naira landers, please I submitted study visa in March. No response yet, notice I can't track it again also. Is there anyone who submitted earlier in the year? Have you gotten yours.

Book from the hotel site.

Most hotels will let you book without paying on their sites or you can do the hotel a mail to confirm reservation. Either way works.

Has anyone had issues with SAQA non compliance and how long do you wait after resubmitting the application?
Will they accept old transcripts addressed to them while the new one still been sorted out in their quarantine facility?
I read somewhere non compliance issue leads to making a new application with payment.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by shndy: 9:45am On Dec 05, 2020
If im going to SA on a particular date, how soon before the date should I apply, i.e. how long does it take for a visit visa to be granted?

What should be the closing balance on my bank statement?
