HELP: How Can He Get Back His Passport From SA Embassy by Biliamin(m): 10:09pm On May 06, 2015
It will be a month this weekend that he applied for a South Africa visa at VFS office in Lekki(VIP). It was meant to be for a business meeting but since then he has not heard from them. Now the meeting date has passed (this Monday) and till now no positive info from them

Two of his colleagues applied for the same visa 2 weeks after he applied, they were both invited to pick their passports 4 working days after submission. He went there un-invited the day his colleagues were asked to pick theirs but was told the visa was not ready.

He has missed another visa interview due to non release of his passport by the Embassy. He has sent series of mails to both VFS and SA embassy, VFS replied twice, yesterday being the second time, that the visa was still under processing at the SA embassy that he would be notified immediately it's ready.

He does not want to continue to wait especially because the meeting date has passed. even if they finally issued the visa, it is of no use.

Please how can he get his passport with or without SA visa

1. Pray

2. Call the SA Embassy

2. Visit the SA Embassy and personally request for a retrieval.

3. Use the services of professional travel assistants e.g Wakanow, Tourbrokers, Avienti etc.

It's a very good chance that the passport has been held back because it has been used in some fraud or criminal action.

Thank you all... He got it today with 3 months visa. However the reason for the application cannot be achieved again but happy that he has his passport back. ...
