hunee:20th of November 2023 and got it 5th of December. It was for a week or so. So I have reapplied for another visa as I am going back to SA. My flight was on the 7th but this people disappointed me and I am looking forward to next 17th as I have kept my ticket open. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 10:42pm On Jan 07 |
Massivedick:Ok. Congratulations and be safe in SA. |

hunee: Thanks for mentioning travelbeta.com. I can see good rates there. Are there more you can recommend? I know of Skyscanner Meanwhile, do I have to have valid flight reservation before I can apply for a South African tourist visa? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by odimbannamdi(m): 12:10am On Jan 08 |
Africankel: The price difference between Taag and Kenya Airways (my usual airline) trip to SA is over 100k. If I get a transit visa for $30 and use the 16hrs to get a tour around the city, it will be nice and add to my experience. What do you think and how do I go about getting this transit visa? I am checking Google already though...lol |

iggideon: Hello bro, how long did it take them to issue you the visa? Did you have to book a flight to support your visa application? What documents did you submit? Better still, please can we connect on WhatsApp? I am looking to vacation in SA this quarter and I want to start the process |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by odimbannamdi(m): 12:19am On Jan 08 |
iggideon: This is very helpful. But you mean you had to buy new flight tickets to continue the application? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by odimbannamdi(m): 12:27am On Jan 08 |
KingCold: Thanks for chipping it. Please, are there any tourist friendly areas you can recommend in SA? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by odimbannamdi(m): 12:29am On Jan 08 |
Bombzy: What is the update on the e-visa? Has it been granted? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by odimbannamdi(m): 12:34am On Jan 08 |
hunee: Hello bro...looking forward to having this list. Thanks bro |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 1:25am On Jan 08 |
Broos/sis, let it be on notice that i do not give my personal contacts out here for reasons best known to me. Everything I and some contributors do here comes without an attachment. It is on track record. We see it as community or support work. I hope i have spoken well just incase i dont respond to anyones request asking for whatsapp chat and all that. Please be notified & take no offence. Goodmorning. |

Yes it was me, remember my sticker visa was for 30 days would expire on or before the 31/12/23. But you advised me to apply again since I needed to be in SA in Jan using the vfsonline, i did and they denied me can you imagine claiming that my bankstatement is not up to 3 months, i sent them an email showing them my bankststement was up to 3 months, they replied saying there cannot adjust the decision and I should apply again..each application is 87 dollars. I did and till today there is no feed back on my application. hunee: |

odimbannamdi:too many to mention hey. The same Cape Town is SAs prime tourist attraction 1 Like |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 4:13pm On Jan 08 |
I want to register my displeasure with you over the current dilemma you are encountering. kindly await the outcome of the ongoing application. dexydidi: |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by 080bjaked(m): 5:25pm On Jan 08 |
odimbannamdi: Honest suggestion, stick to Cape Town central business district. Almost everything you want there as a tourist (beach, water front, lovely restaurants, aquarium, paragliding, NG food, malls, nice view etc) but plan a day or 2 out of CBD for wine tasting which you might go to stellenbosch for, Cape Point, skydiving, bungee jumping or shark diving. Somewhat expensive but adventureous. Also, please avoid going out by foot after 8pm unless you are in a ride. Avoid random people calling you on the streets (sure you know what I mean). |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by tannystacey: 6:42pm On Jan 08 |
KingCold: Exaggerated opinion. Lived around SA and Capetown is the only place i have genuinely felt safe. Its the no 1 tourist destination in Africa and thousands of tourists fly in here weekly to enjoy our beautiful city. 1 Like |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by tannystacey: 6:52pm On Jan 08 |
odimbannamdi: If you are coming to Capetown, stay at sea point, green point, or v&a waterfront or maybe cbd. Those are central to many Cape Town activities. Dont let anyone scare you. The link below can help you book popular tourist activities in Capetown at reasonable rates. Much cheaper than anything else online. Personally had their wine tours 3 different times. Go on tiktok and Instagram and find out for yourself what tourists do. https://citysightseeing.co.za/en/cape-town |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Oladunni12: 9:34pm On Jan 08 |
Please how do i get a bus from Johannesburg to Durban, can i just get a bus anytime i get to Johannesburg or do i need to prebook. I am flying from Nigeria to Johannesburg. And if you have any link to get a bus or train, kindly share. Thank you. 080bjaked: |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Oladunni12: 9:46pm On Jan 08 |
Please help me on this. Someone ask me to help bring two side mirrors from Nigeria to Johannesburg. Please is it safe to take it along. Will the airline accept it. I am flying with Ethiopia Airline. Thanks |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Africankel(m): 11:12pm On Jan 08 |
Oladunni12: Be very careful, those side mirrors might be stuffed with illicit substances. 1 Like |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by hunee: 12:04am On Jan 09 |
I wouldn't even respond to such questions. We have warned persons severally here not to collect items for third parties when they are traveling including friends and associates. Trust is very scarce these days. And already Nigerians are flagged and known to be vast in drug peddling business in SA. So oladunni , BE careful @Africankel, how are you? 1 Like |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Omix2: 12:12pm On Jan 09 |
Oladunni12: That depends on how faraway your destination is from Jo'burg. If it's inter-city or long-distance, you can prepurchase bus/train tickets on computicket |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Africankel(m): 2:13pm On Jan 09 |
I'm fine, thank you Ayo. Make them no hear word... hunee: |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mekanta7(m): 7:07pm On Jan 09 |
tannystacey: My brother, this places you mentioned are the most expensive locations in Cptn, i think op should state his budget for clear compass. If he needs something mild, he should consider Observatory, Woodstock, then Parklands and Milnerton for something cheap |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mekanta7(m): 7:15pm On Jan 09 |
Honestly SA is totally rough but beautiful in a diverse way, Capetown ranks top 10 most beautiful cities in the world. I always stay cape town when I'm in SA, and so far i have only been to Johannesburg, Durban and cape town. Jobug is a war zone, people on the streets are scary. If you browse on google, it shows capetown as number one murder city in Africa and also top 10 in the world lol.. In my all my visits, my people no place dey safe for SA pass cape town o... Cape town is another version of Switzerland. In cape town, don't near Mitchell's Plain, na mini colombia be that side. 1 Like |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by KingCold: 7:27pm On Jan 09 |
tannystacey:You know Cape Town has dangerous areas right? It's not an exaggerated opinion, the likes of Hanover Park, Mitchell's Plain, Langa, Nyanga, Phillipi etc..there's lot of gang violence in those areas and a lot of murders. I'm not talking about touristy areas. Cape Town is like Rio of Brazil, on one hand you have scenic areas on one side you have favelas |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by KingCold: 7:30pm On Jan 09 |
mekanta7:it also depend where you are in Johannesburg, sad to say but South Africans have lost that city to illegal immigrants,, you hardly hear local dialects when you walk in the streets. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by KingCold: 7:32pm On Jan 09 |
Johncables402:it is a safe haven for tourists. And South Africa is many things but not a shithole 2 Likes |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mekanta7(m): 8:08pm On Jan 09 |
KingCold:I feel you bro.. I have been to the UK and other few countries, SA is indeed a beauty to behold. No where near shithole. No 1 tourist country in Africa can never be a shithole |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by mekanta7(m): 8:12pm On Jan 09 |
KingCold: Yeah there are beautiful places in joburg too. I stayed Kempton and within joules area. But i think the immigrants over there do menial jobs, i would say they lost the country to drug abuse by there own people. That country needs serious sanitation. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by KingCold: 8:27pm On Jan 09 |
mekanta7:I'm not talk8ng about drugs here |
