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,

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.

In response to question 1, that section only applies to passengers in transit to another country and doesn't apply to you since your final destination is SA. Simply write " NOT APPLICABLE" on that part of the application form. The same thing applies to the other question u raised below in (1).
2) Since d applicant is a student, simply indicate so on the part that says occupation or profession. It poses no problem at all. All the best....

Please i need to know if this xenophobic attacks will affect a visa application.

TYPOP:


They will send an e-mail to the address you provided to let you know they got your application. If you didn't receive the mail, you haven't applied.

TYPOP:


Seems your question was overlooked. You can't apply for extension at any home affairs office. You have to apply at VFS office if your choice.

Change of status is not quite easy with the new laws.

Please anyone know how long it takes to process a visit visa? Its been two weeks now.

I need my passport next week for an urgent assignment and considering withdrawing my application.

How does that work?

Thanks

You can apply for a change of condition. Apply online at VFS and submit to the nearest VFS office.
Just make sure that you have a letter from your former school, specifying that they are releasing you with no obligations, and also a letter of admission from the new school you want to change to(Very important), plus other supporting documents, if you have paid the school fees for the new school, please submit the proof too it helps.

Before VFS came on board, home affairs will call you and let you know that there is a missing document and you need to fax the document with so so days. But with VFS, if there is any missing document, your application will be rejected quickly. So just make sure you submit all the required documents

Brother,please is this the same step you have to follow if you are about finishing your studies in a particular school here and want to change to another university here in SA the following year?

sultan003:


Yes, if you still have a permit that is still valid for years. If not you should be applying for a new one for the new school

Ofon15:

If he is to apply for a new one,can that be done here in SA or Nigeria? Thank you brother for ur response,God bless u.

TYPOP:


You first apply online, then you send all your documents as hard copies. After they get your hard copies, they send you an e-mail.

How can someone,apply for this job?have a relative who might be interested..pls u can contact me on topeakinmoladun@gmail.com

olabanji88:
I HAVVE SENT THAT FOR LIKE 2 WEEKS VIA MY SCHOOL BUT I DONT KNOW OW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO GET THERE

TYPOP:


Normally, you apply for SAQA online yourself, gather the documents yourself, certify them yourself and post them yourself. Of course, anybody could help you with any of the stages above.

Your school should not send your application documents for you, unless you are in one of those private schools that decide to do stuff for their students. If they sent it indeed, the document might not have gotten there or they used their own e-mail address instead of yours. That way, the e-mail will be sent to them, not you.

I actually used my e-mail for someone (of course with her consent) before so they sent all her mails to me. But as I received them, I forwarded them to the lady immediately. So, it is possible for them to use their own e-mail. Talk to your school

Please what documents am I expected to take along to the airport when re-using a multiple entry visa? Do I need any invitation letter, hotel reservation, self intro letter, introduction from company, etc?

hello house,
my Lil bro submitted the following things today for a 2 weeks visit visa:
-international passport
-flight reservation
-photocopy of yellow card
-2 passport photographs (on white background)
-invitation letter from SA host (dated and signed by host)
-6 months bank statement of SA host (stamped by bank)
-photocopy of SA host's ID card (certified)
-SA proof of accommodation (certified).

When he got to the vfs center at lekki to submit the documents for the visa application, an official looked at his documents and said they were fine but that he was supposed to come with a letter from his school (a computer school) and another letter (my bro says he cant remember- i'm guessing its an introductory letter or something like that). but then the official said he could still submit the documents like that if he wanted to. so he did submit it.
my question is, does the unavailability of the letters requested pose a threat?. i thought everything listed above are the requirements for a visit visa?.
what do i need to know... i need your thoughts on this.
TYPOP, samtol4, yinkob002 and others who got experience, pls help.
