Thanks. I checked now and it’s saying I have 14 documents yet to upload. Exactly the number under optional documents that I didn’t provide (they dont relate to me). I assume since these are optional, it should be a non issue and maybe they’re having a system glitch and that’s why it’s showing them as awaiting?

Also payment status changed from PAID to READYBATCH?

hunee:

Click check status. The maximum upload allowed is 5mb. Merge all support documents together using pdfmerger and do same if need arises for others ( seem you passed this stage)
Reason i said this is because of the issues associated with doc upload and error message prompt.
Keep us posted.

Where are you now?

It was dispatch by DHL to their Lagos office yesterday, but no feedback yet. Hopefully this week by God's grace cos flight & hotel reservation have already been made.

The message is not clear. Let take it one by one.
1. How long were you supposed to be in SA?
2. If there is need for extension, your South African employers know what to do.
3. Sponsorship letter and letter to consular, I don't think I understood what you meant there. I thought you said you have a visa already.

Where are you right now?
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Sojeezy247: 8:33am On Nov 24, 2023
Currently that's what they are doing,I had someone with similar story,the Consulate is really up to something,you might have to go and then come back and reapply, because you can't reapply until after the other Visa expires,or you go from December 28 till Jan 28.

I am suppose to be in SA till Jan 2024. However the visa they gave me is a single entry and expired Dec 2023.

My employer gave me a letter to the consular.

My question is what do I do? Can an extention ve given? What should I do?

Alright.
Now in this case, you draft a letter and attach the supporting document to the consulate in Nigeria for an extension.
I suppose the visa you have currently is an electronic one.

Upon receipt, the consulate will correspond depending on the urgency. This can only be done from Nigeria.
Mind you, if you decide to process from SA, you may be requested to attach your permit.
I am not sure you have that.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by dexydidi(f): 10:33am On Nov 24, 2023
No it is the stamped one.

Please what should I do? You remember I was the one they denied visa for yellow card?

Oh . Sure I do.

Ok. I get
You can do this thing both ways.

If you get a sticker visa and you were given one month stay and you prefer to stay longer. I will advise you to do above.

It's not too late for correction.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by dexydidi(f): 10:37am On Nov 24, 2023
No i dont have a permit. I work remotely but I have to travel from time to time.

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 10:40am On Nov 24, 2023
You can also apply for a 3 month e visa right now as a frequent traveler( I was granted this on my 3rd SA visa) and attach your sticker visa explaining reasons for the need for 3 month short term visa to expire March next year.
Attach all supporting documents from your employers.
Please when writing letters to the embassy or home affairs. Always go straight to the point and give them accurate details.
If you have informed them you were staying longer,I don't think they would have given you one month.
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 10:48am On Nov 24, 2023
This is not something you should panic about. Just do as advised. Home affairs will grant you 3 month visa as a frequent traveler, if you can prove to them you have stuffs doing in SA. Attach employement or contract letters and all documenst.
Use this link. cost 425 rands, about 18k in Naira. https://ehome.dha.gov.za/epermit/login
However, if you arrive SA, your evisa may be acknowledged, not the sticker. The sticker can serve the purpose for travel history at the embassy in Nigeria, which will help for subsequent applications.

I wish you the best!

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Graceness777(f): 11:40am On Nov 24, 2023
You should do what hunee says
If you want a fast approval use vfs evisa website
Just. That it’s expensive .
You would be given 3 months

I understand that mail. It is just a validation of your application, only if you didnt upload it. if you uploaded all the documents as request, i do not think you have to panic. Just be patient, whilst you get responses from them.
