Give it time. It’ll update.

Ok, am waiting

I am not in South Africa at the moment, I am in Nigeria

hunee:
Is there a reason why such cases like this should be treated from Nigeria? Why not South Africa.
Is it not possible to fix this from South Africa, because visa timings in Nigeria is delayed, unless you know consular sha. Lol
For visa renewal or passport. Fix passport issues first, then visa.

Take them in Phases. Goodluck

I quite understand your comment

The other respondent advise maybe useful.

Thank you so much. I will apply for a renewal immediately I get the passport. I just need to also process police report/clearance from SA with my new passport number, that’s what can act as a little delay.

Yes please, I understand you. I recently received through a south african friend.

This is the website for e-visa via VFS (i.e VFS online). https://saonline.vfsevisa.com/zaf/en/login

Yes it is 87 dollars, more pricey than the DHA website. In my experience and that of a few others it is faster because it is more expensive.

Bombzy:
What’s the website for VFS online

2fine2fast:
If you interested in PhD or MSc in Food science and you got good grades, you can send me an email on Nairaland. I’m recruiting students for my research group at the Durban University of Technology. Cheers.

Good day. Please, how can I get in touch with you.

Was ur payment successful? Or u were just debited without having a successful payment confirmation.
If there was no confirmation, contact your bank for a charge back, and try initiating a new payment.

Mine took 3 working days (got it on the 3rd working day). It ranges from one working days to 10 working days typically, but could also go to 15 working days if they don't recieve feedback early from your host or could not verify your documents on time.

VISA RECEIVED.

Application submitted: August 9, 2023 (three days after old one expired)

Passport requested: December 6, 2023

Passport submitted: December 7, 2023

Passport retuned: December 11, 2023.

Multiple entry (30 days stay), valid for 8 weeks... I'm concerned about the validity though, this would be my 8th SA visa and all of them were valid for three months, I wonder why this one is less.

My dear Ayo @Hunee, how long is yours valid for? Abi I should mail them, assuming it's an error?

Currently that is what they are giving,most people that got visas this period,it is single entry or a multiple entry for 8 weeks,for Nigerians

Stay safe.

I have not received a response from my E visa from VFS and it is over a week now. Any reason what the challenge would be ?

What is the purpose of your trip? You might want to check that the individual/organisation that invited you has replied VFS on the authenticity of the invitiation. I got my visa the day my host replied the VFS evisa team
