Why is VFS in Lagos delaying my visa application
Normally issuers of visa take 6days but I am yet to hear from those azzholes

There are times that they have more applications to treat,i guess this is what is happening in your own case,you should get a text asking you to come forward for your passport in a day or two

The comments,suggestions and observations here have been very helpful,i intend using their service in coming weeks,i look forward to read testimonies from those who got their.

Seriously i went though some stress like my statement of amount i had to see the manager imagine that , invitation letter i had to teach my friend what to write some stressful stuffs thou and dont worry you dont have to think other wise all the documents are real which i can bet on i have been to Germany and India before just wanted to visit SA base on what people are saying .

If you are cork sure of documents from your own side,the one provided by your friend must have put you in trouble then.....You still have a chance,reapply but on this occasion make a paid hotel reservations with a reservation code coming directly from the hotel..Best of luck

Buying rand will save.you.a lot.of money at the long run, i bought it for #27 at Black market at the airport on the 3rd of this month, just have around 3k rands on you which is less than 100k naira,your rest change can be exchanged for dollar on your way back at or tambo,just walk over to travelex once you have gotten your boarding pass and turn the rands into dollar

There is already a thread on Italian visa stuff.

I replied u on the German visa. You will see the link there.

Yeah,but the trend was all about students visa,but i had a fair idea it takes between 2-4weeks depending on your situation

lakesidepapa:
Then that moniker i quoted earlier is also you, u're using two monikers cos i derived that name through the mercylady3. Ain't u knw am working for CIA? anyway, I was just joking. Sorry

Apology accepted,but we need to be careful of what we accused people of,we don't know who is reading....i will appreciate if my name is edited off that first response...thank you

lakesidepapa:
You are a male, ur name is Quadry Oyejide and u're loving another fellow man.. Which type of love is that? Pls Homosexual is not allowed here

That is my name dude, someone responds to my message which am also find funny, you need to read very well, that i love you message was not from me,kindly delete or edit my name from this..thanks

How long does it take to get a response after your visa application at the Italian consulate in lagos..anyone with an idea?

Does anyone know the visa process period at italian consulate in lagos?

My experience on Kenya airways was splendid, the crew were courteous,the meal was sumptuous and the connection was seemless,despite missing our connection in Nairobi due to non availability of Aviation fuel in Lagos,KQ checked us into an hotel which is a standard in the industry,but you won't get that on Arik.i can bet my life on that, they paid for our transit visa at the immigration counter for us to be able to go to the hotel...Generally am highly impressed about their services,i will fly them many more time..I strongly recommend to anyone

jackbanks087:

Does any one know what i can do or have any ideal about this issue your contribution would be highly appreciated .

jackbanks087:
Am not really stressed about the denier but am angry i went through some stressful process to get all the documents now it feels like my time is wasted . But its all cool ..

Pls advise, I am processing a ( Ded )Doctor of Education in University of Zululand, my fears are,
1. I am teaching in a public school in Lagos, which I want to quit for this.
2. This DEd sounds new.
3. What's the prospect ?
4. This program is research only which I am not comfortable with.
5. My SAQA has not been done, can I get admission without it?
6. How is survival in Southy as a Naija?

Sounds like you are more concerned about what you are going to make in SA than the value your new study will add to you, if i were you i will apply for study leave from LASG before moving just incase SA does not turn out to be what i expect,besides what do you think PhD is all about? research of course,if you are not ready for it don't quit your job.my advice

seangy4konji:
Bro. Can you give me the name and website of the hotel you used and how do you pay sorcery to them??if you did not pay how was it booked directly?kindly explain. Thanks n

Im submitting my application for a short visa to visit my husband who is in school in SA. But I just had 400k deposited in my account today can I print and use it for submission tomorrow because Im sponsoring myself.

Also do I need a self introductory letter amongst other documents

To be honest with you dumping huge cash into your account at once will greatly work against.you,except you have had a substantial amount in there before that lodgement,i will advise you to withdraw around 150k from the account,add it back maybe in two tranches and wait for about 2-3 weeks before making your application.

abfas:

Hello, I'm travelling to southy on monday and I have issues on hw to move money. My school has already bOoked my accomodation (will pay when I get there)and they'll pick me up at d airport. I need advice on hw to move money I have 3 atms gtb stanbic and diamond although I don't know which 1 works there also I need to know how much max in both $ and rand I can enter d country with.

stanbic is a local south African bank,your stanbic bank card should work perfectly well there,but make sure you go to your branch and tell them how long you intend to stay,so you will have seamless usage of the card

oduzbaba89:
Is it possible for Sa visa to be issued within 3 days? Coz a friend applied on Monday and e got alert to pick up is passport the following Wednesday making it 3 days, what's the guy fate, thanks.

Highly possible,i applied 23rd of may,got a text alert on the evening of 25th picked up on 26th with my 3 months visa on it..

davton69:
good evening house.... pls i need a good place to spend like 1 week in SA and any one with an idea of an affordable airticket... pls ... i need am....thanks..

Wakanow.com will give you an idea or booking.com.....airticket ranges from #98k on Arik air though i have my reservations towards them,delay and cancelled flight too frequent and if you are buoyant SAA at 135k is a deal

BJ3:
@Solatium pls share your kenya airways experience if you eventually use the airline. Thanks

Pls kindly enlighten me house, what are the chances of getting a UK visit visa with these documents.
Letter of appointment
Confirmation of appointment
Last promotion
Statement of account with 1.3 as closing balance
Marriage cert
Wedding pixs and naming pix
Birth cert of kid
Introd letter from work
C of O, land deeds
Virgin passport
Work Id card.
A buget of 500k for the trip with over 200k salary per month for a 10day trip.

If there is any relevant document, you can specify, pls.

You have everything bro,just include the tax clearance as it was suggested and toned down your travel expenses to around 400k or less.....the ECO will see someone expending 500k on holiday in 10 days as unrealistic.trust my judgment on this one...All the best

rasdor:
hello, pls i have once applied to uk, but refused, i want to apply for SA visiting visa and i have all d required documents. but pls i m soo scared, cos agents are giving me different story of how my application may take so long to process and d fact that i mayb refuse. also i hv like 1million in a fixed deposit which will mature by september and just 120k in liquid form in my account n my passport will expire in december so i m planning to visit SA in july. hope it this will not lead to issue of planning to travel while fixed deposit is not yet mature. pls advise, should i go through agent for submission. i m soo confuse.

Do not let anyone scare you with any cock and bull stories,i submitted mine on the 23 and i got a text to come for collection on 25 it took just 3 day's and i was issued with a visa.....Raise the amount in your account to 400k or slightly above,Make sure your hotel reservations comes directly from the hotel with a reference/booking number,your yellow card must be issued by the port authority.with those in place and all other required documents all genuine,you got no problem bro.Agents are just out to fleece you

justwise:
The U.K. Visiting visa application is not really about bank balance..more about strong source of income and tie to Nigeria.

Having millions in your account without traceable source will hardly get you a visa.

You should know this better since you have traveled to the UK before

yeah i understand perfectly well,but as at the last check i know there is a minimum account balance that must be presented to press home your case that you can afford the trip, i.e your flight tickets,your personal spending money and shopping expenses and still be able to have something substantial in your account to live on once you are back from your trip...just wanna have an idea of how much was the least anyone had in their account and yet secured a visa..

Does anyone knows what the minimum account balance should be for a UK visa application for visiting visa? am single and have a registered business since 2011, have fairly rich travel history to uk in 2006,Dubai 2011 and South Africa 2016. @justwise and others please advise rightly

Has anyone travelled ok Kenya airways flight to johannesburg ? how is their connection ? i.e waiting period, Are you allow to leave the Airport ? is their a provision for refreshments or entertainment while you await connections ?
A direct flight would have been better but SAA is a bit costly at #134k Arik is cheap and direct at less than 100k but it's a no go area for me..

How is Kenya airways flight to Johannesburg,i learnt their is over 6hrs stop over in Nairobi,just want to know how the stopover is been handled,i.e Are you allowed to go out of the airport ? is their a resting area for those waiting to connect for over 5hrs or more? any entertainment at the airport ? i need a full details before i book my tickets please.

Does anyone have an idea of personal account balance for South Africa ?
