I'm invited for a conference in SouthAfrica in the month of September. I just received the letter to be presented at the embassy, I will appreciate if anyone can guide me with how to start my application for Visa at South African Embassy, the documents required, the Embassy's address in Lagos. The amount required for the processing and the price of the flight ticket.

emperorlog:
Pls what documents do a family of four (husband, wife and 2 children) need to apply for a family trip to SA? Is there a family visa fee or a visa fee applies to all. Wife hasn't changed her passport after marriage, does it matter since her maiden name is what appears. Pls advice. Thanks.

BOWOTO:
Thank you very much,but do I hold dollars or rand?

BOWOTO:
Hello forum, I will be going to southafrica next week, I will be going with an invitation and my host will be taking care of my accommodation and welfare, do I still need bta?

jewel4u:
@yinkasob002,

I will really appreciate if you can help me.
Just need clarification on somethings.
When payment is made, how do I get an invoice of the payment since its compulsory I send the application with the application fee.

Actually, the application is going to SA from my alma mata due to the fact that they will be attaching my transcript and we all know that transcripts are confidential.

Please clarify me sire

P.S I don't know anyone in South Africa and I will love to do the transaction by myself here in Nigeria.

samtol4:
@nnke ....why must people drop or contact you?I wanted to ignore your lamentations but when you said "I paid 60k for my visa".I decided to step forward .Study Visa to any country is the easiest visa for any1 to get and yet you pay 60k for SA study permit ?You paid bribe but now you re blaming the staff that collect what about you the giver? You did no wrong abi?Please bury your head in shame this thread is do it yourself and a lot of forumites here got their visas without paying kobo .Moreso a lot of forumites got decent jobs in SA while studying and I wonder why you didn't get any perhaps you re not honest in your dealings with people .You were ranting about HIV are you finding it difficult to zip up? ONLY A FOOL WILL contact you

aaamorg:
Pls house, you guys ; @Samtol4, @yinksob002 and all are really doing great job on here. I have two concerns and I need help .

1. I want to study Biz Admin and Mgt for my masters programme, I really want to know the list of cheaper institutions in SA offering this course.

2. I want to know to what extent does SA embassy verifies bank account statement.

Thank you.

omoarole:
2 working days!!!!! that is pretty fast...
I begin to wonder if this is the outcome of the whole xenophobia thing...some bit of PR and reconciliation. We should actually begin a timeline of submission and issuance of visa on this thread. Has anyone else had a similar experience with short term visas?

hello house.
i got 2 questions pls.
1- on the visa applicatio form, one part of the 5th page asks;
what is your destination after leaving the republic?. and
do you hold a visa or permit or temporary or permanent residence in the country of your destination?.
^^^ these 2 questions confuse me cuz its a 2 weeks visa application with a return to nigeria so how do i answer the questions.
2- on the part that asks "occupation or profession", what do i fill?. tha applicant is 19yrs old and just finished secondary school so doesnt have a job and is yet to gain admission into the university. pls whats most appropriate to fill in?.
anyone with experience pls help clearify me. thanks.

laplace:
Thanks guys, for all the educative posts. Please is there any stipulated number of days for which my SA visa must be valid before I'm allowed entry into SA? I got a 3-month multiple entry in November and travelled. I got another 3-month multiple entry visa in March and travelled but I have a meeting in May during which my visa will still be valid. I heard that sometimes they insist it must be valid for 1 month or more before I am allowed entry,
