As a student you can buy one way ticket to your study destination Irrespective of which country it is. Studying means you aren’t coming back immediately.
Desperadooo:
Thank you Hunee, it is a long term visitor's visa for postdoc. The condition did not request that I must have a return or onward ticket like the condition stated on short term visitor's visa

They don’t just deny people who have US visas, they deny people who live in the US too.

first time seeing someone with USA and canaada visa been denied
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Zoey1: 6:01pm On Dec 20, 2024
Irrespective of who issued your visa.
The first Schengen country that you pass through their border control stamps you into the scheghen zone.
So no qualms.
Chelseaboy101:
Guys ! Please I need some clarifications as this has been bothering me since I entered France.

So, France issued my visa but I flew brussels airways . On getting to Belgium , they passed us through immigration and my passport was stamped in Belgium .. Is this a problem ? Upon getting to France, they just passed us through to the exit , no immigration.

Germany appointment dates are released at midnight between 11:30 - 12midnight.
And don’t expect to get a slot for same week except someone cancels.
Good luck.

ZeroSpace:
Good day all, my sister invited my mom to Germany which all proper documents have been done on her end but the issue here is , we have been trying to book a short stay visa appointment on the website but it keeps saying “no appointment date”. I don’t know if this is a general issue or we are on the wrong website.
Anyone with a similar ordeal or can help with my situation should please reach out to me here or 08107203960
It being a Schengen visa is why I’m here, if you can help I will really appreciate it.

Thanks for your response. That's exactly how it went . He sat with his mum while I did the submission.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 12:35pm On Dec 08, 2024
Search hotels around your intended area,
Go to the hotel website and make reservation . Print out the invoice sent.
Some hotels could charge , while some may not for reservations.

Hotunbar007:
Good day everyone, can someone assist/guide me with the proper steps on how to make reservation for hotel and flight.

Thanks

I submitted my documents at the vfs abuja on 11th of November, and I got mail today to submit passport. Please what does that mean? Will it be approved? I am just scared. Anyone who has gone through this process should please shed more light on this🙏🙏🙏
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 4:47pm On Nov 23, 2024
Go and do physical/sticker. If you really do want to attend the programme.

Parcks:
Good morning house,

I have an invitation to attend a conference in SA as a panelist. I iused the DHA eVisa portal and until now, it’s still reading “Awaiting Adjudication outcome “.

But I’m checking on Nairaland (should have checked before I used the online portal 🤦🏽‍♂️) and some persons are saying physical application is usually better.

Is it possible to still go to their office and apply? Or do I wait until I get a response from them? My flight is on 7th Dec., 2024, so I don’t know if I still have the luxury of time.

I will deeply appreciate a response, house.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 4:46pm On Nov 23, 2024
I don tok my own.
They have done this to about 10 people
Which others signs una need.
vozkini:
My friend application was rejected. That his bank didn't respond to the DHA. Are this a new avenue for rejection?
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 5:42pm On Nov 19, 2024
Unfortunately, I’m not an advocate of people going to SOUTH AFRICA.
If it’s not study related and it’s funded.
If you aren’t a business person .
If you aren’t a frequent traveller that does for fun.
Then go else elsewhere.
Everything about this country from the application to what have become so stressful.
So what’s the point about SA, SA.
If you can maybe check other countries .
I’m not an advocate of SA and won’t be in a long time.
Factly they deserve to be on another part of Africa different from Nigeria.
So myopic , shallow yet arrogant set of people.
abubakar123olat:
Please I want to Travel to South Africa to volunteer for 6 months , please is there a specific visa type for Volunteer emg Volunteer visa ?

On the vfs portal I only say appointment date for for Volunteering and it's a short stay appointment which is less than 90 day and I am going to volunteer for 6 months so what can I do ?


Secondly if the organization agree to sponsor my feeding, accomadation and also give me monthly stipend which will be stated in the invitation letter did I need to submit a bank statement again ?
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 5:38pm On Nov 19, 2024
Yes, you can but by default they won’t give that option except you ask.
And they will charge you for whatever possible if you aren’t smart.
abubakar123olat:
Please do you have an idea if I can apply to south Africa visa at vfs without submitting my passport until the visa is out ?

TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 6:18pm On Nov 15, 2024

Make una check other countries too.
Hotunbar007:
Good day everyone, I need your help and opinions

11th of November?
What’s today date please?
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
emifeWorld:
I submitted my documents on 11th of November at vfs abuja. I am yet to receive message from vfs for passport submission. Please how long does it take to get the message? And can I send someone to help me submit because I don't reside in Abuja. I applied for a study visa. Kindly help with necessary information. Thank you
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 9:27pm On Nov 09, 2024
Yes, because you might need an employer’s letter which I didn’t add in mine.
So giving my list would mislead, better for him or her to read from vfs.za

Laughs in “each application is unique”
Of course it is!
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 7:28am On Nov 09, 2024
And at the port of ENTRY ,
THE BMA OFFICER, told me categorically that they are phasing out E- visa.
I asked again to be sure I heard what she said.
And she repeated it again.

You can take him along for sighting but they won’t do anything with him.
His passport photograph suffices.

For a student , one way ticket is fine.
Ramwab94:
@hunee @Zoey1 and others

Is it compulsory I book a return flight ticket as a first time traveller even when I might not need it until when my study comes to completion?

Your travel experiences annd exposure boarding at the airport are sought after here.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 1:04pm On Nov 05, 2024
If this persists.
Proceed to the airport and ask for The Airline ticketing office, not counter oh.
They will sort you out.
Oladunni12:
I have tried contacting them repeatedly, no oone is answering me.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 4:04pm On Nov 04, 2024
It is well with their Lagos office.
Lagos won’t help you with an online TAAG ticket though.

TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Zoey1: 4:02pm On Nov 04, 2024
If you have enough time just chill and keep calling or messaging.
Online TAAG website?
Oladunni12:
Good morning house. Please to anyone who has booked with Taag airline before, how long did it take before they respond to your booking? An agent helped me book yesterday evening (Sunday) and she is still saying she hasn't heard from them.

Has this happened to anyone before, please?

Unfortunately, several people have had this same issue with DHA recently.
It’s either they are trying to disuade people from using online DHA or they have another motive.
Yours is one the many I have seen recently.
I advise people do physical application for now instead.
E DHA has become a cash cow.
Adaokolo96:
Please my South Africa e-visa was just rejected on the account of submitting an invalid bank statement but I submitted the required 3 months recent bank statement (all pages stamped and signed statement gotten a day before visa application submission) and a reference letter from my bank. Account balance is more than 30m. My bank is First Bank. Please what would you advice me to do/change as I am about to make a new application? Thank you very much for your assistance.
