I think they are doing it intentionally they wait for your intended date of travel to elapse before they tell u stories.

Lmao! This is for short term visas, even if your travel date lapses for long term, they can’t refuse you based on that..

In my own opinion VFS people are not even helping in this visas matter, I understand they are third party but they should give meaningful information about visa processing and the delays since we are submitting through them. If you contact them now they will say they have no say in visas we should contact high commission everytime.

Which airline did you board? Also, who has an idea if Ethiopian airline boards those with e visa?

Use South African Airways, They are very reliable when it comes to boarding with an E-Visa

My sister submitted a company document for the paper application but she hasn’t gotten a response yet. She is thinking of applying through VFS by January, can she use a different company info and submit the document . Hope it won’t affect her application?

I don’t think so since it’s different applications on different platform.

Please help !!! I just got my yellow fever card from the health office and I tried scanning the barcode but it’s giving me error message “ oh snap please enter valid code ��‍♂️

You have to verify it first. Because if you submit it like that, they will refuse you on unverifiable yellow card. In fact that is rampant now than any other reason. Scan it and input your details on it. If your details can’t be found please validate it. Quick even if you’ve submitted, try and do something about it before they treat your application! Try and validate it yourself o and see your details and everything comes out successfully!!

Alternatively use this website and input your details

Yesterday, I received my response from the E-Visa DHA and that my application was denied.

Reason: Travel time has elapsed.

Submitted application since Sep 23, 2022.
Intended date of travel: Dec 10, 22

Received response Dec 15 that application rejected because travel time elapsed and that I could appeal the decision within 10 working days.

Any idea how I can submit the appeal please?

This thing looks so strange to me because they waited till the time elapsed before they replied you. And you applied 3 months before the day of departure. I feel it’s intentional or something. I’d advise you to re-apply on the e-vfs page. Not the e-DHA!

Please someone should advice me here I applied since November 24th at Lagos vfs office, I'm going to SA to apply for Georgian Tbilisi visa,and my flight is 9th do I forget this application and use vfs e-route or just. Give it time,I booked a real flight, submitted sch fees payment admission letter,and my sponsors bank statement,I don't know why it's taking long.please any suggestions.

Use the E-vfs, but then this is festive period you might not get an outcome this month. But still try to use the e-VFS, it’s still faster than this physical submission. They are trying to clear backlogs at the SAHC, Abuja. Plus you suppose no book flight yet till your visa decision is out, Well if you can move it to a much later date, just in case.

The South African Consul General in Nigeria, Mr Darkey Africa has revealed that the submission of fraudulent documents is responsible for the delay in the issuance of South African visas to Nigerians.

Darkey added that the other reason for the delay is the high demand for the visa. He made this revelation known to Tribune Online in a chat yesterday.

Meanwhile, Africa noted that the delay would be well managed if straightforward applications are made.

You know the demands for South African visas is quite high and the turnover takes too long because people submit fraudulent documents.

“I have met the then President of Travel Agents. We made a presentation to them. We showed them the frequency of fraudulent applications as opposed to those who are compliant.

“We told them if we eliminate this, the turnover will be as quick as imagined.” He said.

“There is probably a misunderstanding. The rules and conditions for applications are the same.

Any embassy you go to, it is the same answer given by their officials. Nigerians are noted fo forgery of documents and fraud. This is what led to internet fraud and This is why our prayers do not get answered by the Almighty God. Presenting forged documents to embassy officials lengthens the time it takes for verification.

To do a diligent vetting of these falsified documents will waste time. At the end, the official will reject the application. Nigerians will go out to complain that the embassies are not issuing visas to them. Whereas, it is their faults. These officials have their country’s national interest and These are the Nigerian citizens that go overseas to soil the name of our country by becoming vagabonds and rely on their host country’s hospitality and behave badly when they do not meet the expectations of their host country. To the foreign embassy thoroughly vet and only approve visas for those applicants with genuine documents

Now, use the E-VFS site for application and upload clear and legit documents so they won’t delay you.
