Hi all

I'm having trouble with uploading a document. It's faded out. Others have uploaded, even deleted and re-uploaded and they worked except this one. I've even logged out but nothing. It's been like this for some hours. It's less than 5mb as well. if I click on submit, it says all documents haven't been uploaded and I can't progress

I can't delete the application as I've submitted the form section.

Any solution as I've gotten the notice?

@hunee @afrikankel
Abeg this matter tie wrapper.
What would you say.
Application was denied because DHA said the hotel didn’t confirm reservation.
Applicant has dropped another application though.
But the hotel manager insisted they never contacted him.
I don’t understand this…
I think we should just discuss it so other people can learn.
I think at this juncture everyone should follow up with their banks and hotels so they are checking mails to ensure they don’t miss anything from DHA.

hunee:

TBH, that question is hard to answer right now, cos applications has been hanging for weeks as i learnt.
Home Affairs is currently running on low capacity and scrutiny of applications has been heightened.
This is the update.
So if you have anyone or know anyone visiting SA , advice them to arrange and upload the right documents to avoid refusals.
Stamp anything stamp-able because home affairs will confirm.
The possibility of delays of adjudication is as a result of delayed feedbacks on authentication of applications from providers or third parties.

hunee:

Are you handling applications for people or this is a feedback?
I said it here severally so it is not new, the home affairs are very tough in recent times on documentations. I posted it here two weeks ago, since I got the exclusive information.
I also advised everyone to tighten all loose ends to avoid rejections.
I said all of this, so let them re apply and do the needful.

Zoey1:
I remember this but here the manger insistently said he was never contacted.
Who con dey lie?

hunee:

You know once you get a refusal based on falsifying documents, it is usually difficult to get that visa a second time.
So what you do in that case is attach payment receipt (invoice) and the booking reservation then let them call again to verify.

You then see the outcome. These guys even accept part payment or a token then when you arrive you pay balance.
There are trying to sell the hospitality industry too by compelling applicants to book and pay for hotels.
It's a kind of collaborative approach aimed at monitoring entrants due to records of overstay.

So, dummys aren't advised much for now, unless an update comes up.

Don't forget also that the Ministry of Home Affairs is under a new management, so expectedly you will encounter alot of these developments.

Zoey1:
Your international passport column isn’t checked. If that’s the document you meant.
Then try out other browsers, DHA can be sensitive to some browsers.
Clear cache and try several other things.
Let’s see how it goes.

Used different cards including USD cards, amex and they finally settled on Revolut virtual

Zoey1:
The response shown me read and I quote

“There is no feedback regarding verification of the booking you submitted, therefore you do not qualify for visitors visa.”

This has nothing to do with genuinety of documents.

hunee:
By the way, hotel reservations are also referred as " documents" , support. Depending on the context

Zoey1:
Did you read the part that said “the manager said no one reached out”
“And the applicant isn’t a first time “?

hunee:

I read your texts, I am telling you what the home affairs thinks , which is the basis for your inquiry. The home affairs Adjudicates on visa applications not the hotel manager.
So reading the minds of the VO, they obviously think that document is invalid or false.

So fix this up and do the needful as subject refers.

Zoey1:
1. I told you this was a feedback, so I don’t understand this “fix this up”
2. When I posted it was others to learn .
3. I stated this was to juxtapose what the manager against what DHA said not your “thinking “
4. Lastly, I already said the person moved on ahead of this. Why should I stress?

hunee:

Just pass the message , no stress brother.

Zoey1:
I don’t have the time for such because your attitude already messed up the purpose of posting.
After you got denied , did it stop you getting the visa several other times?
Now acting DHA officer over another person’s application.

Thank you

In verifying a hotel reservation, the visa issuing authority simply checks on the hotel website with the reservation code provided.

The manager saying he wasn't contacted, might be correct. However the booking couldn't be verified online.

Smiles. What I meant was that assuming I want to send naira to someone in nigeria and I have rand in my account in SA, is there a way to send the money directly from my account without passing through the usual way of looking for who needs rand in exchange for naira? Hope it's clear now?
