Good evening everyone. Is there anyone that submit his or her Visa application, at VFS global office in Lagos State, in the month of July 2023? Has anyone heard from them?

You'll probably hear from them in October. Physical application takes up to three months.

This is to update you on the progress of my evisa (DHA) application . I submitted the application on 12/09/2023, however when the list of supporting documents was displayed, I realised that the selected visa category was wrong! I chose "Business visa section 15" because my trip is for business," business visa section 15" is for those interested in setting up a business in South Africa. The correct visa for my purpose is visitor's visa section 11.

A fresh application for visitor's visa was completed, this was immediately rejected because of the pending business visa application, "awaiting supporting documents". I sent an email to hacc@dha.gov.za with a request for the cancellation of the business visa application. HACC replied on 14/09/2023, stating that my query has been "forwarded to the relevant department for assistance".

The business visa application status is still showing "awaiting supporting documents" today exactly two weeks from HACC's response,there has been no subsequent correspondence from HACC. I sent another cancellation request again today. It has been posted forum that applications th not backed up with supporting documents will cancel after 14 days. Is it 14 calendar days or working days?

Same dilemma here. The website is wacky. Or their process. Somehow they have also not cancelled a previous application i submitted for my friend. I created another one hoping to submit after they cancel the previous one, but its even the new one they deleted from the profile.

Over 20 days have passed and they have refused to cancel the pending application despite the fact that i have not paid..

Now we are just waiting for the actual travel dates for my friend to pass so i can see if they eventually cancel..

Hello everyone..
I went to apply for pta from the bank and they said I need to apply directly on CBN webpage ..

Is this the new procedure for getting it?

080bjaked:


Yeah, been like that for years. You apply via this site https://www.tradesystem.gov.ng/landing/index.html
Do you have your tax cert though? Also you can only get it at "available" price so expect it to be almost at the black market rate .
All the best

Hi Friends,

Please I have been unable to sign into the VFS PORTAL to schedule an appointment.

It's frustrating and I have even called them out on Twitter but no response. Everything they adviced other complainants on Twitter to do, I have done them but nothing changed. I have cleared my browser cache, history and cookies, restarted my system, changed browser, changed ISP, use a new laptop, etc did not work.

I am tired already.

Please someone should try and help me. I need to know if this is happening to me alone

Emmamay10:


It could be network issues. I experienced similar issues when I did mine then. I was advised not to use Google Chrome. I ended up using Opera Mini browser. This was in July this year anyways. Perhaps you should try Firefox browser or Opera Mini browser.

BlueStripper:



Thank you so much Emma,

I have tried Firefox, Chrome, Brave, DuckDuckgo but this issue persists.

I will try the Opera Mini now.

I am total confused walahi

Update

Opera Mini Browser didn't work either.

Emmamay10:


That's serious. Have you tried using your phone, since you said you used a laptop. I did mine on my phone, including the payment through my debit card.

I got my stamped and signed embassy statements from Access bank on 4/09/2023. Do you think these will still be okay, considering that its almost a month ago? This is for the visitor's visa application through DHA. Let me know your thoughts on this please.
