Please, is it compulsory to book my return flight and include the ticket while applying for SA E-visa?

Please have you gotten pta recently

Yes, but to london

One can get PTA to Rwanda, so far you don't use Rwanda air which is 4 and half hour from Lagos. Ethiopia airline and other airlines are more than five hours.

"Direct flight time" is what is applicable as i have always quoted in previous post. having stopovers to increase your flight time may not work with intelligent bankers, i know people who received PTA for flights to rwanda and uganda, with stopover at addis-ababa, but the issuer of the PTA did that at his or her own peril and you would not be there when he or she is being sanctioned.

The essence of the 5hrs flight time is to guide as per the distance of the destination in proximity to Nigeria.

Chad (Our close door neighbour) is less than 2hrs direct flight time from Lagos, does it automatically mean that when you take a 6hrs flight to doha(transit) and another 5hrs flight to Republic of chad, you then automatically qualify for PTA?

okeysoninv:
ok, it didn't said he can't purchase PTA to Rwanda. Just change ur itinerary from Abuja to Kigali is 7hrs

As long as the "direct flight time" is over 5hrs, then he can deal

okeysoninv:
every bank with their own criteria. Let him board from Abuja to Kigali is more than 5hrs

Not every bank and her own policies, its a cbn regulation, the intervention funds for PTA is provided by CBN, hence, CBN provides the regulation and all banks adhere. See below.

Good evening guys, am new here but with all the comments i read here, i think i should suspend applying for South Africa evisa. Please which other African country can you advice me to go for vacation and i want a traveling journey of more than 4 hours from Nigeria.

Any help please

If your aim is to be entitled to PTA, then flight time must be 5hrs and above, i suggest you travel to nairobi, kenya. Flight time is 5hrs 20mins

okeysoninv:
apart from West Africa and Cameroon . you can get PTA for any other Africa country.

Not true please, the "direct flight time" must be 5hours and above. hence, you can only get PTA to egypt, ethiopia, djibouti, eritrea, south africa, kenya, mozambique, madagascar, seychelles, mauritius, comoros, tanzania, lesotho, swaziland etc.

Anyone who gives you PTA to rwanda, which is a 4hrs 30mins flight time does that at his or her own peril.
