I received an email from VFS that I should submit my passport within 2 days. Do I need to book an appointment with VFS or I can just walk into the VFS office and submit my passport? I submitted my study application on the 12th of December 2022.

I will appreciate anyone's suggestion.

id number is your passport number

Atinukemi23:



Please is there anyone expressing difficulty using the e visa service ? Been struggling for days, it kept logging me out, and when I log back on my details are not been saved.

Kept doing it again and again.
Exhausting.

Been on it since last week too. Managed to save some of my data, but it's been unnecessarily stressful.

Atinukemi23:


Thank you, I thought it was my internet connection, I had to use 2 different laptops, 2 different emails to sign up on each laptop to see but even up till now nothing works.

And it was not like that upper week when I applied, but the rejection due to yellow card has brought me back to the bottom.

I even tried using my mobile, it will tell you service error contact bla bla and give a code silly codes.

mountmos:
The DHA website is not responsive. You can’t save data, it keeps giving error messages - even when tried late or mid night. It’s the same challenge. VFS is a smoother process but at higher rate ($87).

But they don't even respond to emails

I recently got my third SA visa.

Makes it my third time visiting SA in 3 months.

Applied same day, and got visa same day.

Via DHA


DHA is still most preferable.




I advise you all to take your time , be calm and study the processes on the portal before you begin.

Knowledge is power.

Most of the queries asked here are on the website.

Just go through them carefully and establish some contact too in the process..


I also want to say for those sending me mails on how to convert tourist visa to resident permit, please confirm from the query department.


One thing I do for sure is that I read alot and have been able to gather lots of information on visa processes which aids my application.

So , I encourage everyone to do same, it will help alot.

Goodluck guys.

Atinukemi23:


Congratulations when did you apply ?
I did use the DHA to apply and I got rejected because the yellow cards are invalid which they are, and for a week now that DHA website is non responsive no matter how you try.
And I am even applying from England.
I used both wifi, and mobile internet, is still doesn’t work.

hunee:
I applied 13th July, Got visa same day.
I experienced same too, then i applied by 1am. It worked with a broadband network.

I also applied outside Nigeria.

mroyato:


How much is the application fee via DHA?

Atinukemi23:


Less than 20k in naira per person.

I used a GBP card to make payment for the previous one as I was charged around £75 for 4 people and that in naira is almost 70k so that divided by 4 is around 17k.
