Hello house.
I’m planning to apply for a visa for my Postdoc
fellowship in RSA. Please, I need your kind guidance in selecting the right category of visa on the VFS website. My colleagues from other countries, especially India, do select the Research visa which is a sub category under Visitors visa. However, that option is not available from Nigeria.
Thanks in advance as I hope to be properly guided.

P.S: The Postdoctoral fellowship is for a period of 2 years.

Omix2:


Section 11(1)(b)(iv) is the appropriate sub category, as highlighted in 2(e) of the checklist for visits exceeding 3 months.

and no feedback yet?

2fine2fast:


Thanks for this info. But can someone else kindly confirm this.

WrathJustified:


I just sent a mail. But do those mails go to the embassy. I think it just goes to the intermediaries not to the embassy guys direct. Anyway, I have sent the mail

AGMAMA:
Meanwhile it’s already 2months since I applied for tourist visit. No update at all
VFS are clueless
Meanwhile they should have notified people on their website that it will take this long so we don’t have to bother if we can’t wait
This is very unfair and frustrating
Will they now used expired hotel booking and flight reservation after their delay
It’s becoming so unfair
No update email, just silence
Na wa o!

I flew from Lagos to abuja to apply for tourist visa on 17th of feb. I got my passport back today without them issuing me visa, there excuse was that. source of income not stated on the bank statement. I am a business man. I summited my CAC doc and every other documents needed. my inflow in 6months was about 90m with a closing balance of about 2.5m I have been to SA B4, MY uncle is a citizen, we bear same surname. he sent me his ID, UTILITY and invitation letter with police stamp. Yet they didn't issue me the visa. well I'm applying again with the same documents next weeks have to fly again to abuja , if they didn't issue this time. I will then figure out another way.
