Hello House, Please what are the requirements to travel to SA at the moment with a child and one of the parents? Is consent letter from the other parent still required? I read it on SA home affairs website that consent letter is not required again if such documents have been submitted during the visa application, but I don't know what's required in Lagos before they can fly out. Is Covid test still required? If yes, will the child test for Covid as well? and what timeline must the test be done before departure? A response by anyone that has travelled recently or with similar situation will be highly appreciated. |

Do you all have visas to travel to SA?? if you are traveling with a child or Minor, you will surely need the child's original birth certificate or a way to prove that the child is yours and you will need to have a letter or affidavit from your partner giving his or her consent or permission to travel with the child or Minor. It's a requirement to travel with a minor within SA ( inter-province Air Travels) so it will surely be required at any South African port of entry.I have had to provide my Daughters birth certificate before boarding flights within SA. They have this measure in place to curb child trafficking Yhamo: |

pufframmy:100% yes. You pay for your hotel 14days before boarding flight from SA to Nigeria |

Jammyjammy:It depends on response from your school |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Dayhor: 7:56pm On Sep 09, 2021 |
Yhamo: A letter from the non-travelling parent consenting to the "non-South African citizen child" accompanying the travelling parent is no longer required on arriving/departing RSA, as per the current immigration regulations (gazetted). It's only required for SAC children. However, you may be required to provide such on departing NGA, as per NGA's immigration regulations. So, you should ideally have a copy of the child's birth certificate and a signed consent letter on your person. Covid tests are required for every traveller older than 6 (You can check with your airline to confirm this) Time between submitting sample and departure should not exceed 72 hours |

1. You do not pay 14 days. You pay for 7 days. 2. Airlines now only required you to pay for arrival PCR test and 7 days post-arrival test to board the plane. samtol4: 1 Like |

pufframmy:Take, for instance, you traveled to SA on 10 September and you planned to return to Nigeria on 14 September. Before you board flight on 14 you are expected to show evidence/ proof of payment 14 days in a hotel recommended and approved by Nigerian government , failure to show proof of payment no airline will allow you to board. I know someone who paid 460k last month. Perhaps the amount has changed now |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by tannystacey: 4:37am On Sep 11, 2021 |
samtol4: Lol. Not true anymore sha. Even the airlines are more reasonable now . Only show your proof of payments for your 7days post arrival covid test and also a negative result from SA. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Lezy: 7:24pm On Sep 11, 2021 |
Which airline only accept the 7 days covid test without asking for proof of payment for 7 days quarantine? When is it likely to revise the covid-19 restrictions in Nigeria? tannystacey: 1 Like |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by tannystacey: 6:57am On Sep 12, 2021 |
Lezy: Kenya airways is your best shot. Or Qatar if you are flying from Capetown and you don't mind the long journey. I don't know when restrictions will be revised but I know they can't keep up this energy in a peak travel period like December. Just keep an eye out for info. I just know that as SA ramps up vaccinations, more countries will open up to SA. Dubai and a few others already lifted SA restrictions. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Lezy: 1:00pm On Sep 12, 2021 |
Ok, thanks. Am hoping they remove this restrictions by month end... tannystacey: |

pufframmy:You don't need to panic this was weeks ago; I heard things have changed now. A colleague went home last week ,he didn't pay any money , he was told to drop his passport for 7 days. However, the guy maneuver his ways to get his passport. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Lezy: 7:24pm On Sep 12, 2021 |
The problem now is that Kenya airways asks for proof of payment for 7 days quarantine before you can be allowed to board from SA. samtol4: |

Hi Guys, So my spousal permit renewal was delivered yesterday after a long wait. I am rooting for everyone here still waiting for their visas. I pray the good news will come soon. It is evident that the consulate is still issuing VISA's but you will have to be prepared to wait. I will advise you to try to occupy yourself with something else ( Maybe a short term project or a goal) while you wait.. as the waiting could be quite frustrating. Cheers chrisbada: 1 Like |
