Will you stop giving false news here, how can you applied last week and visa issues? That's impossible even far back 2011 when we applied for visitor it's takes exactly 2weeks to be issued now it's 2019 it's not that easy

you don’t know her, but you’ve concluded she’s lying ? Back in 2012 the visa I got took a week and 2 days , while in 2015 the one I got for my wife took 3 days, and it’s all agent and in Lagos embassy.

andrew444:


So sa is now usa abi?

i think say na visit most of una dey go visit, e be like say work plenty there

No one is saying SA is USA bro , I’ve been staying in SA since 2012, I have business here too. And I’ve been to the states for visits twice, not everyone wants to live in the USA my man. Read to understand, I was only sharing that news since this platform involves everything South Africa visa.

Ghana has just been granted visa free to S.A. congrats to Ghanaians.. I hope someday soon they’ll find Nigeria
Worthy enough to be included.

Quiver:

Hey bro... Hope it was successful for them both?

Yes bro.

ayomide8990:

Boss, I have been thinking of it too.
And my Brother in SA have paid him.
he told my brother that he Submit it with some group.

I’ve never heard of non appearance in Lagos, if you’re using agent. It is possible in Ghana , but I seriously doubt about that happening in Lagos.

jhamez10:

pls sir were did u applied abuja or Lagos

Abuja

Syinkus:
Am happy for u oooo.Did u received mail or text message for collection?

no email, but text. Track online too, and it was ready for pick up.

cashdosh:



Congratulations Sir! I’m next in line for the testimony.

Thanks bro. Amen to your prayer.

Hello house. Tourist visa application submitted on 22nd March for my wife and daughter in Abuja, got update it was ready for collection yesterday, 2nd of July, that’s 3 months and 11 days of waiting. 3 months multiple visa issued.. glad the long delay wasn’t for nothing. All the best to everyone applying for visa.

andrew444:


That means I can still use my yellow card to travel to another country seems the validity is 10 years ?

same yellow card can be used for any country that requires it from you. Just keep it attached to your passport anytime you’re traveling out of the country.

frontendsoftwar:


This is just too terrible. I won't even think of submitting my tourist visa application at abuja anymore. It must be Lagos

Sorry Brother

Pls face Lagos bro. If I knew it was this bad wouldn’t have made the mistake of applying in Abuja.

cashdosh:



Bros, From what I have gathered, the cause of delay at Abuja Embassy is backlog. Remember, someone ones mentioned that his daughter got her visa on June 10 in Abuja and the processing time was 6months. Judging by the previous posts, your family’s Visa seem to be the oldest because it’s way over 4months. My wife and kid just submitted in May. Let’s keep waiting for the positive outcome.

Brother, the delay is tiring. It’s been 3 months and a week we’ve been waiting for a tourist visit visa. I’m not even angry anymore, wifey and daughter birthday was supposed to be celebrated in Cape Town first week of this month, I even made arrangements but their birthdays don pass already. Withdrawing their passport doesn’t make sense right now. I’m not sure I’ve seen on this platform since I started following it that anyone have waited for 4 months untop visit visa. Mine will be 4 months in about 3 weeks time. The South african consulate don’t take Nigerians serious, because according to the email conversation I had with vfs in Nigeria. They informed me that South Africa High Commission phone lines and emails are not reachable for now.

timaji2003:


Somebody told me similar story.

saw that post up and thought it was a joke. It should obviously be a joke, how can they stop issuing visas in Abuja ? Abuja of all places ? I don’t believe that jare.

jhamez10:

u also applied for a visit visa?

Yes.

jhamez10:
I submitted at abuja embassy 27th last month for visit visa till now I've not heard anything from them and they said 15 working days and this is 19 working days pls anyone also facing same problem

Cool down, it’s just 19 days, some of us here have been waiting for visa since feb and March. Just be patient.

Quiver:


Nothing yet, since 18th of March. It's worrisome but the option of withdrawal is not an option. Just keep hope alive.

Wow, we both submitted the same week. No wahala, all the best bro.

Sircreeden:





Mine is 5 months still no update

wow, did you apply for visitors visa ?

Quiver:

Which of their offices did you submit to?

I remember you wrote here last month too, any update on your own ?

Quiver:

Which of their offices did you submit to?

Abuja.

Good day guys. My wife and daughter submitted their tourist visa application around March and today makes it 3 full month after they submitted in Abuja, and it’s still showing under assessment. Included in the application was Birth cert, marriage cert, photos of our marriage and child dedication, expired visa that was used back in 2016, and another expired visa that wasn’t used late last year. And joint account balance was around 2.1m. And the planned trip was May last month and now it’s almost June ending, and no update from them.. what do you guys advice I do?

Should I still wait till God knows when or just withdraw? And now I read they’ve even made things more stressful by booking appointments before submission.

I thought it’s only long term visa applicants that go through such delay, pls has anyone had this type of situation before ? makes one think some files were just dumped at one corner with no care in the world while waiting for applicants to withdraw. I’ll appreciate your input.

Anonymous1900:
Yes Lagos

okay bro. All the best.

Anonymous1900:
While some people are delayed, some are also treated quite fast in line with @TOPEADE'S post

submitted on June 3rd, got texts and emails on june 13th its ready, picked up today with the visas.
Got text june 3rd evening application was forwarded to SA high commission for processing
so it was processed in 5 working days or 6 at most if you count the day i submitted


Submitted similar documents to TOPEADE except pension and had a lil more funds in the account.

So just saying its not all cases that get delayed as seems to be the consensus this days

Regards

Congrats. That’s just under 2 weeks, was this in Lagos ?

Syinkus:
Good morning people in the house,please is VFS Abuja still processing visa application? I submitted study visa application since 7th march 2019 and I have heard nothing,but I was advise to visit their office in Abuja that there could be miss up of passport. Please I needs every one contribution.

Mine is tourist visa application, submitted in March too, and it will be 3 months by next week since submission. Normally tourist visa doesn’t take this long, don’t really know what’s going on there in Abuja.

Quiver:


Lol... Thought i was the only one. Applied in March to for visitors visa

E no easy. It has come down to this, tourist visa that used to be 2-3 weeks is now going 3 months.

Syinkus:

Predstan:


If you can’t spot any truth in what he’s saying but hatred, then you have a problem.

Ok sir

Potch:


Read between the lines. I was not attacking South Africa and i am sorry if you're a black south African. I do not have anything against SA but gratitude.

you have time to be replying people based on the fact you wrote. South Africa is a very beautiful country... But It’s a known fact, that most black South Africans don’t like foreigners, especially Nigerians.

Mimicle101:
Family let me share with us!

I just got a mail, SMS from vfs that the passport is ready.

We will be collecting it by next week.

Study loading by his grace

I pray it will end in praise.

Study visa
