Which platform did you use?
I need to adjudge which has been fastest recently.

Yes. I used VFS Abuja

meagainstdem:


Thank you

If it’s from 1 year to 2 years. You don’t need return ticket but less than 1 year or 1 year on the dot. You need return ticket

[quote author=Attjusty post=131999760][/quote]

Which VFS did you submit at and please what’s your time line

Attjusty:


Yes, others I have checked are above 1m

Use TAAG or Air cofedvoire or Ugandan airline. They are more budget friendly around 400-500k

DakingG:


I applied on 25th of August and got the visa today. Vfs.

Long term visa? What VFS office?

meagainstdem:
Good day All.

Please is it a must that round trip flight ticket be booked for Postdoc study lasting two years?

I booked my one-way flight trip today since I would be staying till July 2026 in SA. I was given multiple entry visitor's visa till July 31 2026.


Need clarification please🙏

When did you apply ? What VFS office did you submit? Whats the timeline please

Please what VFS is good to tender study visa? That will process fast?

Unless it changed recently, yes you can submit another application on DHA portal while your visa is still active. I've had to do it for someone before.

Please how much is E-visa and what documents will I need to gather for the upload?

Thanks

Vfs Lagos. I submitted on August 8 and got it August 28 through courier

Congratulations. 2 questions please. 1. Is there a need to book appointment before going for submission?
2. Can one use a hotel reservation from booking.com or other third party providers.

@hunee @africankel @Zoey1

Please guys, I need your input as I am trying to visit SA next month (first time) and I want to consider using the E-visa option but I have been seeing 2 different websites one is taking me directly to the DHA webpage while the second one is taking me to VFS page.

Which one is faster and real (Incase one is no longer relevant)?

How much does an E-visa cost for a visiting visa?

How long does it take before I can have their feedback?

Thanks in anticipation. You trio and others are doing a fantastic job 💪

Both sites are genuine.
VFS $87 and more
E DHA $23 / $24
Both have recently been between 7days to 3 weeks.

I just paid for an appointment at VFS lagos tomorrow and i got a mail from flutter wave that it eas successful. However as the page was processing it automatically logged me out and when I tried to log back in i can see no active applications. Is that normal. Do i just wait or i try again

hunee:
check again

Please can you give me current email address of dha evisa to contact apart from hacc@dha.gov.za
Please hunee

That’s most likely the only one that can guarantee response.
Most of the others already blocked unknown emails.
It won’t get to them, not all though but even the others may not reply.

Even quit wasting time mailing the home affairs. They are a rigid body and very opposite to change. You know the South African systeme are a bit kinda slow(personal opinion, sometimes they are fast, so you need understand the system to quit sending mails.

They will attend to you at their convenience.

Goodluck cc: @dennis201

Bros, help us with the documents you used to get a 2 year long term visitors visa.

Those of us that have even frequent Sa, we hadn't got this kind of opportunity.

Its exhausting and not cheap applying for visas every 3 /3 months.


Kindly assist us with the documents you used and if you have previously been out of Nigeria. Could it be a bonus.

Please share and hopefully someone applies for longer term through Abuja.

Also tell us how much was paid for the entire process.

Thanks
