This delay in study visa, it’s everyone that applied from nigeria that’s experiencing this. I don’t think they’ve issued study visa this year at all. Plus the VFS said it’s at the discretion of the consular to know when to issue study visa, that’s there is really no timeline for processing. All we have to do now is to hope. Universities in SA should also play a role in this issuance of Visa. They should have sent list of students accepted for studies to each mission worldwide for fast processing maybe through DHA especially now registration is in progress. I have seen when they’ve expedited visa for students especially those with scholarship like DAAD & Nelson Mandela Scholarships and it was on Twitter.

What is the difference between e visa and the one you apply for using VFS and go for submission of documents at Lagos?

Goodmorning all, I wish to apply to south Africa to write nclex exam. Please who can help me with required documents please. Thanks in advance.

on congrat in advance

Avoid submitting physically at the VFS Centers, Applications are now taking very long to get a decision. Some applications spending 8, 9, 10 months in their custody without decisions. Use the E-Visa platform which is not even guaranteed. But if you must apply for E-Visa try 2-3months before you date of departure. It’s an advice though.

you should go to another country for this exam because at the moment, Applications are taking very long to get decision now. For the sake of this exam, so you won’t be disappointed. You should Try another country, so you don’t wait so long and the date of the exam passes away. Do you get ?

Please is it officially confirmed that all categories of SA visa need not drop their passports until it has been requested for by the embassy? I am getting different information and want to be sure. Thanks!

After creating unnecessary panic and accusing people of fraud unjustly. Honestly, Nigerians need to take suing people seriously. Imagine defaming people as scammers and then coming back weeks after to say “you just confirmed you lied and accused them wrongly”.
This is how you people create stupid narratives about Nigerians and then get angry when outsiders label us the country of Fraudsters. Next time, confirm information before accusing people wrongly, so you don’t land yourself a huge lawsuit.

Anyways just because of the sake of the good people here let me share I remember I first applied through vfs when I waited tire I had to go for evisa online I was called on Friday to bring my passport back for visa sticker visa so I don't know how they are issuing this visa that some people are still waiting up till now.

Did you write a statement that you are fully aware this application will take very long? On your Checklist at their office? Plus it’s only short term they are issuing, and it’s long term people that are waiting for visa for almost 5 months now. Someone here is almost 9 months now. I haven’t seen or heard study visas being issued. I don’t know how they are doing it or how they want to do it.

The question is, what is the purpose of your intending travel? Are you going for work, studies, vacation or japa?
If you are going for anything other than vacation, don’t waste your money. SA is not for hustling, just go enjoy your money and come back to Nigeria. There are no jobs there which makes it really hard for legit hustlers. Think about it very well before you embark on anything, focus on country where you will get good return of investment.

Please is there any one who submitted their passport recently for sticker visa after they got an email to submit it, how many days did it take before it was returned?

There might be jobs only IF you have critical skills. If you’re very good with computer programming like Frontend, Backend, Angular then software developer, Data Science, Machine Learning, Information security analyst those hot courses you might be lucky find because it’s on the country’s critical skills list. But to get the Critical Skills Visa is quite hard, it takes too long to process and no company might want to wait that long so they will look for people who already have the critical skills visa or more preferably PR.

Please don't come to SA if you want to hustle as others advice you. If you are an IT you can look for job and apply for critical skills visa.
