Good day fam,

So its my first time here and I wish members on this group would really help me out.
My retired parents have a family friend in SA who are citizens and are willing to send them invitation to spend holiday with them in SA.

I only know this to be a visit visa and I don't know what documents they need to provide at the embassy other than the invitation letter.
I want to help them process the application so as to save cost.

Do my retired parents need statement of account with huge balance ?

Do they need to to include payment for flight reservation with their application documents ?

Do they need to include payment for hotel reservation with their application documents?

Please all advises will be appreciated.
