Vfs does not influence visa outcomes. It is ok to create a scene. They can escalate to the embassy. However, if you go to VFS to create a scene and expect visa approval afterwards, it will not work. I do not work for vfs but i am just speaking logic here. 2 Likes |

hunee: Let's pause for a second and really understand what everyone is trying to say on here or at least what I believe to be the meaning of influencing an outcome with regards to the South African Embassy. I don't think they meant influence as in approval or disapproval but rather influence as in making sure your application was in deed sent to the embassy and not just sitting at VFS. I believe that is what the other members meant by influence. Often at times we get carried away with words so let me define what the other member meant by his words. I don't think anyone used influence suggesting they have the veto power to give you a visa approval. |

I think the delay is largely because of backlogs occasioned by COVID-19, in addition to thorough scrutiny of documents presented by Nigerians. In the past, I've had a visa issued within two days. koffeed: |

koffeed:# I applied physically not even online, I just feel that VFS keeps wanting people not to appeal so they can make more money |

Africankel: Lol Covid-19 after how many years? Even countries with busier immigration programs have cleared backlogs and moved on to better things.. It's a case of a few bad eggs runining things for the good ones. Lets be factual. Do we really wanna say we dont know why SA makes things extremely difficult for Nigerians applying to their country? I've lived in SA for over 7 years. I've gotten many kinds of visa you can imagine in that time. Visitors visa in 2016, later study visa (2016-2018), then critical skills visa (2019), then my PR in 2019. The one thing I can tell you is that it has never been this bad. I have friends with PR and proper jobs that have been trying to bring their wives and kids here for years but keep getting denied for different reasons. Even for visit.. Rejection. Because why will a country deny your own family from being with you? Baffles me. Thats the difference with more advanced countries. They understand the significance of family support even if you are studying. Many post docs i know left because even after phd, nothing for them.. The current immigration minister Aaron Motsoaledi has a very strong disdain for foreigners. He revoked many things the moment he got in. Again, let me stop here because i dont wanna digress. Its a visa thread. I'm currently trying to apply for evisa for a couple of friends & family. Its been so stressful. Lol. But yea, anyone applying now has to have all the needed requirements. Some factors that can influence approval are you have a rich travel history, maybe even a us, uk or CA visa, you have been to SA once and you returned in record time, you are applying from a western country like US, The EU, UK, etc. Countries that obviously have more economic value than SA.. And then your bank account is good or in a stronger currency. If you have those, take kofeeds advice and go to your nearest vfs to apply. Theres a 95% chance you'll get it. But this evisa system? Seems to me like its already a very corrupt and unfair one. 2 Likes |

I have been to Ghana twice in 5 years. My advise for Japarians routing Ghana. Ensure you have enough monies to sustain yourself, because Ghana is a very expensive country. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by davidoobge: 9:16pm On Oct 14, 2023 |
hunee: this one i go agree with you oga. That country dem dey spend like dem dey america. Small country like that wey everything dey cost like that never dey make sense. Right now the cost of petrol for that country no be small matter oh? No be say the houses too nice like south africa oh, oga hotel prices for that country no be small matter. Ghana people be very friendly but that country is not affordable if you want go enjoy. You for have big boy money for ghana to enjoy. Everything for Accra be expensive |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 9:54pm On Oct 14, 2023 |
I was to stay in Accra central, i had to run to weija where i got a cheaper place stayed for a few days and ran back to Nigeria. I don tell una ooo, if you dey manage no enter Ghana ooo davidoobge:however, such a country like Ghana avails the smart ones with business minds a good platform to kickoff especially if you are into inter country business. Buying and selling. You will make it Big in Ghana because Ghana produces very little of what they use, they virtually import everything. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by davidoobge: 10:17pm On Oct 14, 2023 |
hunee: 😂 Ghana na big boy city oh, that accra central place, i go broke for there three times the time i dey my 20s inside 😂 .

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by exclusvem: 10:20pm On Oct 14, 2023 |
I applied for visa {11th of Sept) at the VFS office in Lagos for a conference in SA. However, the visa is not out and the conference date is on the16th October {Monday) is it advisable I withdraw the application and request for my international passport since I cant meet up with the conference and to avoid refusal base on the fact that conference date will have past by the time the application would be attended to |
