I applied for study visa not E VISA
So right now we don’t know if anyone has gotten any updates for study visa.

Bursttt:
I’d advise you Write to the minister of DHA first via mail. China’s Visa that is the hardest to get on this earth and also have the highest application rate for visa will never delay it. You’d know you decision within 3-4days worse case

Jan - Aug 2022 long term visa applicants who are still waiting for their outcome - Note that SA load shedding has been seriously heightened lately so, know that DHA’s working hours would be severely affected.

Here’s a link on the power issue in SA: https://businesstech.co.za/news/energy/660929/load-shedding-pushed-to-stage-5-in-south-africa-heres-the-schedule/amp/

Side note for VFS evisa applicants: If the adjudication of VFS evisa is being done in Pretoria (not sure if it is), the load shedding issue will likely have a huge effect on the processing time. Let’s hope that it’s the embassy that’s handling the review.

They won’t, instead told me they don’t have no access to the embassy approval to visa processing, right now I seriously � hate this South Africa of a thing, I sent an email, I was replied that as from 1th of September visa process are done at Nigeria embassy

Hello everyone,

Please i need suggestions about my study visa application. I submitted my application since march and I am yet to get any response. I contacted vfs some weeks ago and i got a response that my application is still being processed.
I just hope all is well.....
Thank you for your contributions.

Tryhard:
Tell your University to write a very strong letter to the SA Consulate here in Nigeria. That should speed up things for you.

Tryhard:
I know someone who applied like some days after you and have gotten an outcome like early October this year.

This is because of the massive backlog they are dealing with right now. They are aware that applications are taking longer than usual to process and don’t want to hold people’s passport for too long.

Meanwhile, if anyone submitted a long term visa (over 90 days) application between 12 Jan and 31 Aug this year (as your application may have been forwarded to Pretoria for adjudication) and has not received any feedback, please send an email to IMSqueries@dha.gov.za.

Tryhard:
Yes, I have been checking it... The update: Your application is received and under assessment at "The South Africa High Commission, Abuja"

That's why, I wished to know if anyone that submitted around that time has gotten response.


That’s long, have you tried to check your status on the vfs website ?
