This South Africa E-Visa by VFS thingy is really fast & I’ll advice people going on visitor’s visa to utilize the platform, or if your passport is stucked at the high commission, you can use it and within 10 workings days when your E-visa is out, you can withdraw your passport.

Please have airlines started lifting passengers with SA evisas?

And if I may ask which airlines have started doing that ?

Tesclaros:
I know 2 people that traveled with Evisa and came back.. infact one of them that came back has applied again lol.. Evisa isnt a new thing anymore

Tesclaros:

Thanks

Tesclaros:
I don’t know what the ticket owner used. Its a woman tryin to sell her ticket

Dentale:


Didn’t know it was possible to sell an issued ticket to someone else. That means name changes are allowed. Nice. Pls DM me with the cost.

Please house , how true is this?

Tryhard:



Yes ooo, even if the visa officer didn’t call the hotel to confirm if you have reservations. The immigration officers at port of entry will definitely call, and if they find out you don’t have reservations, they’ll turn you back to your home country. Just make sure as you land you have all things sorted out because they will surely confirm all things even PTA and all that.

iaskquestions:
I tried to cancel and it showed this.. does it mean I have paid already ? Cos I haven’t seen any debit from my naija visa card.. was only testing to see if my naija visa card will work on SA hotel website ..I’m so confused now

pufframmy:
i dont think dey do that every time
when i travel there was not ask for my hotel at all

just ASK How many days and she stamp me in

iaskquestions:
okay thanks a lot.. I actually prefer airbnb apartment.. I don’t know if they accept that

Tryhard:


Well if it’s genuine & verifiable it’s fine. Because most of the time, if they try to verify if you have a reservation, and they can’t, they will just put reservation lacks credibility or unverifiable reservations. So a booking confirmation receipt from the AirBnB which will have the owner’s full names, accommodation address which must be in the main city you are visiting or going to, Duration and dates, and the owner’s phone number and email address is very much acceptable.

pufframmy:
Contact the hotel direct via phone or email they will tell you

iaskquestions:
Please how did you pay for your hotel? My fidelity bank visa card is rejected. I want to pay Zar 11,000

Blurpy:
I can help you pay while you pay the naira equivalent. There’s a limit on naira cards atm

Hello house,

I am typing this just to make my little contribution.

A reliable agent billed me 180k to apply for a visitor visa. This was beyond my budget, so I decided to do everything independently.

I applied for e-visa through 'saonline vfsevisa (dot )com' total cost was 87 USD

I got my hotel and flight reservation through 'visareservation (dot) com' total cost was 55 USD ( they deliver the itineraries to your mail within 24hrs). Their reservation are valid up to 2 weeks.

After getting the itineraries, I proceeded to register on the VFS e-visa platform. Note: you will need a scanned copy of all supporting documents, the size of which must not exceed 1MB

Some documents I submitted

Passport - 10 yrs validity
Yellow card - Lifetime (make sure its verifiable through the barcode on the card)
The hotel and flight itineraries I mentioned above
Three statements of account (1st was salary account, closing balance about 50k Naira {inflow and outflow of 11m}. 2nd was secondary income account, closing balance of about 150k Naira {inflow and outflow of 28m}. 3rd was savings statement, closing balance 5m Naira plus)
Daily itinerary of what I will do each day
Self Introduction letter
Employment-related documents ( I did not submit an introductory letter)
Property documents (multiple land c of o's, also have a house which I provided the documents for)
Family documents ( I am not married, but I submitted my sibling's and parents' ID cards)
3-month payslips
Affidavits
Birth certificate
Pension statement ( 5m Naira plus balance)

I used a Chipper USD card to pay the 87 USD fees

I applied last week and my e-visa was approved in 5 days, with Multiple entries (they also added two days extra to my requested stay period)

Note also, if you missed any document during upload, or you uploaded a blurry document, VFS will send you a mail to re-upload the documents (12 hrs timeframe). When the visa is approved, VFS will send you a mail, with your e-visa.

I really hope I have helped someone with the little information I have provided. Wish you all success in your future applications.
