Please I’m going to see my fiancé in South Africa, she has a permanent residence permit, but I am thinking which will be okay, maybe I should go for vacation and then meet her or she gives me a letter of invitation, what’s the best choice. I am planning of staying for 25 days. Please your best opinions are needed here. Thanks |

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. Congratulations! Chris i am so happy for you.i pray ours be positive too.amen

She should write invitation letter with passport and pr attached, also good Bank statements from her and you too. Hope you have travel history, pray for God's grace bro. Waiting times are long for some time up to four months but maybe faster now since restrictions are easing in SA Bombzy: Please I’m going to see my fiancé in South Africa, she has a permanent residence permit, but I am thinking which will be okay, maybe I should go for vacation and then meet her or she gives me a letter of invitation, what’s the best choice.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Lezy: 8:16pm On Sep 15, 2021 |
Are you getting visa undergraduate or postgraduate? How many years of study? Your account balance must cover duration of your study, accommodation, feeding, tuition and maintenance. The immigration officer will consider you are not going to work to support your study, so provide balance that will proof you are capable of supporting your self. shawnmich: Please can anyone respond at least once which I will appreciate it.

If your study is 1 year full time, you rent room of R2000 or below and you don't live big life, then, 3m is fine. Because 3m in SA is currently around R100000....and with that amount, after deducting tuition fees, accommodation for 1 year and feeding, nothing will be left....don't forget other miscellaneous expenses. shawnmich: Post graduate studies.

Hello Nairalanders, Please does anyone have an idea of how long it takes to appeal a south African visa denial. My younger sister applied for SA visa 3 months ago to go write NCLEX exam since they don't have center in Nigeria. She was denied yesterday on grounds of the Host not confirming invitation. She arranged her documents herself and had included her approval by the nursing council to the sit for the exam. I would appreciate any help on how to appeal this decision as the exam is o Oct 4th.

Thanks for the information. Though am planning to raise more money to see if I can get up to 7m because am trying to target Norway but use south Africa as a back if am unable to raise such money since the exchange rate keep up soaring everyday....Seems I will need more than 3m if I add other miscellaneous expenses to it. Overall thanks for the information, I will try to work on my finances. Lezy: If your study is 1 year full time, you rent room of R2000 or below and you don't live big life, then, 3m is fine.

As educated and well to do Nigerians with legal businesses, a legal means of income and livelihood. We are yet to realize to what extent these other fellow Nigerians giving the country a bad image outside of the country as tarnished the general image and the stigma that comes with been a NIGERIAN. In this context I’m referring to the drug dealers and yahoo boys in SA. Coupled with that this present administration as even made matters worst. Every embassy sees every Nigerian as been desperate. Now I was in SA in late 2017 on a medical visa I was there for a duration of 2weeks. When I was discharged from the hospital I went on a sight see and I was astonished as to how developed they are over there and how far behind Nigeria is. I returned to Nigeria went by my business and my company, I own a Real Estates and Fintech company. I have a travel history of Germany, Ireland, UK, Switzerland and France. So last month I decided to visit a Nigerian doctor and close friend he’s a citizen in SA because he as been in SA for a very very long time, right from the late 90’s and early 2000’s. He wrote me an invitation coupled with every other details. I printed my bank statement from April 28th to July 28th I had an opening balance of 13.5m and a closing balance of 5.5m in my personal account, I submitted at Lekki on August 13th with all other necessary documents, my house and my business legal documents and ownership and every other thing else. I also printed my previous medical visa from 2017 my entry and departure at OR Tambo at the exact time. I even left their country earlier than the time they gave me to stay. My fellow Nigerians from august 13th that I submitted two weeks later my passport came back to me august 31st and I was refused and ticked under “Bank statement not valid for three months” and I was like that as to be a joke right??!! April 28th to July 28th that’s a 3months statement. So my thoughts were maybe because the consular officer meant a 3months calendar bank statement. So I reprinted the same documents I used in applying the first time and I included a copy of the refusal paper showing bank statement not up to 3months, went to my bank printed another bank statement from June 1st to September 1st and I had a closing balance of 4.3M. Tuesday September 7th went to the same Lekki center and I submitted the same documents and every other thing I used I applying the first time along with my previous medical visa in 2017, my newly printed bank statement and the copy of the paper refusing me saying my statement was not valid for 3months. The same documents, the invitation from my doctor friend, his ID copy my home and business documents . Printed everything out as I did the first time and I could recall at the VIP section one of the guys said to me “oga you were here some weeks ago dey didn’t give you ni” I said my brother Naso I see am oo!! They said my statement was not up to 3months and he said argh!! They just wanted to refuse u ni and he told me categorically it’s now a who you know thing with the SA consular as they refuse legal and legitimate people and grant visa to omoh Igbos with drug carter tentacles in SA. For Christ sakes my business as a legal and active building I run a business here as much as naija is terrible I don’t plan on foregoing my business and starting from the scratch in another mans country let alone an African county although I don’t see SA as every other regular country. Those guys are way ahead for Nigeria. My point is I was very angry when the guy told me this.I was Damn sure they wouldn’t have no excuse to refuse me this time. So I submitted September 7th and my passport came to me this morning and underneath the white paper other “ Host’s ID copy certification unclear” Omoh I was so pissed when I saw it like what the hell mahn!! This people are really taking a piss. How is the same ID copy of my doctor friend which I used in applying some weeks ago all of a sudden it’s unclear to them. How ![](/faces/huh.png) ?!!! Like how ![](/faces/huh.png) ! It’s not like they said the ID was fraudulent or such person doesn’t exist in SA. Id copy unclear the same copy I used in applying some weeks ago, then I just realized truly it’s now a matter of who you know with SA cos in every aspect I should never have been refused the first time, the statement was 3months. Right now I called my doctor friend told him I’m no longer coming as I won’t be played on my intelligence anymore. The SA consular is taking a piss and I would rather Forego visiting him till further notice. Below are the copies of the first refusal and the second refusal I got today. Oga justwise if you are still on this platform please what is your say on this?? Because I have followed this forum for years as every other forum on Nairaland. 2 Likes
