Yes..Tourist Visa

Hi all! I also got a mail from vfs on Friday and my passport was returned with visa today.
I submitted my application on March 5th.

hunee:
Well, since u all are afraid, then stop complaining here na. If your trip is urgent, you will take the advice. Goodluck

Yessir

hunee:
High time alot of you wake up and stop being afraid of victimization. The way and manner South Africa treats Nigerians across all levels is very bad and should not be tolerated. Even if you signed any sort of agreement, it does not mean you should wait 2-3 months for visa outcome.
It is outrageous.
As you can see, south Africans are very loud and would not blink an eye if reverse was the case.
They are always ready to revolt.
So if your tourist visa is already almost 2 months, start sending your letters immediately to the embassy, let them begin to feel the heat.
Una too dey fear.
Know your rights!

Thank you bro for the information, like you said, some of us don’t have mind as we can’t afford not to go there for one reason or the other and you know these people look for any excuse to deny visas. Thank you once again for this information.

hunee:
They will ask dhl to take that letter to Freedom way, ikate
They will mostly do that, however if the letter was drafted by a lawyer, they will honor it.

You mean one must contact a lawyer and most likely pay a lot of money for a letter again

Thank you Wuranla...I spoke with VFS just now and I was told my application is under processing. He said they don't have any influence to know when the application will be out.

I will wait..

Nawa o, it is well.

gateleo:
Can you share their contact ?

08150188800. Call them before 3pm, preferably at mid day.

gateleo:
Not yet..it's exactly two months today

Why not call vfs customer center and ask why, at least to hear something.

gateleo:
Alright..I guess because you applied for Student Visa.

I applied since Jan 16, for a visitor visa and no update till now

Hello have you gotten your visa now?

hunee:
I have a valid south african visa. I am only advising you guys on what to do

Sorry, I wanted to quote a guy that applied since Jan and hasn’t gotten his visit visa. I thought it was yo.

hunee:
They know what they are doing na.

[quote autHello! Have you called vfs now? At least to know why it is taking this long? Or have you gotten your visa?

gateleo:
Sincerely I have not...

Oh! Okay. I pray we all get positive outcome soon, have you called vfs customer service to hear from them?

hunee:
Everyone will be operating like one man mopo ooo. lol
i say make we write petition of inquiry to the embassy. Una dey fear visa ref. ,usal

It will even scare them to approve your visa in time.

SA is very notorious for delaying visas.

No be today.
That is why they always compel candidate to sign that letter should incase these delays occurs.

You are right about the letter, they will win the case actually, afterall everyone signed the letter

Hi All,
I've received my passport with the visitor's visa.

To the SA visa experts here, can you please check the visa attached and tell me how long this visa can be used to enter South Africa?
I see its a multiple entry visa and I must travel on or before 4th of April, 2025, and for each trip I mustnt spend more than 30 days in the country, however I don't know how long the validity is. I applied for 2 years visitors visa but I'm not sure what has been issued here.

Thanks,

Hello, if I may ask, how long did yours visa approval take upon submission?

Hey I was just wondering how you ended up resolving your issue because I am facing something similar. I haven’t been able to reach them via email or the numbers they provided on the letter. I look forward to your prompt response

Hi! When did you get your yellow fever vaccine card and where? Is the card verifiable online?
If it is not, that is the reason it was denied.

Please how long did it take for you to receive the Evisa outcome?

Please can anyone explain why the Evisa platform keeps saying error and that one should contact dha….. with a certain number and is there anything that can be done to enable a smooth document upload?
