Please I need some help. I have a valid SA visa. Multiple entry and intend to travel in few weeks time.
I have booked a stay via booking.com but they said its payment upon arrival /stay.

Now my question is. Would the immigration officers at the port of entry take this or would they want it fully paid even before arrival at the port?

Urgent and practical advise needed from those who would help. Pleaseeeee

Lalastica please help move this to front page

nooooooo...it's a booking which shows you have a reservation so don't worry you're good to go...i've been using it for a long time...no problem...it is only used to see the amount of days you'd be spending...

Thanks tourism student

I was a bit skeptical because some persons told me that at the point of entry I cud be turned back to go make a paid and confirmed booking hence my fear. Though I have the advise from the hote via booking.coml which shows that I made reservation using my card and that I wud pay on arrival or check in.

More advises because this worked for me in Europe and UK. So wondering if SA is a different one.

More opinions please!!!!

You must pay for @least one night if you re booking hotel.SA immigration officers will ask for paid hotel .Things are changing here bros .You may b fortunate they allow u in but I can count numbers of guys turned back .This is SA not Europe

Samtol4.

Now. How do I go about it when all the hotels are saying I pay on arrival. If I show evidence of sustenance like my PTA hope that would help. Or MUST at least a day be paid like u said. Even when I booked with my card details and a funded account.??


More advises please .

You will need a paid reservation if you hold a Nigerian passport. Booking.com is for hotel reservation where you pay on arrival .I suggest you use the likes of hotels.com for your paid reservation .

Thank me later

Thanks willy.... Done and dusted!!! I am cool now
