Let her track it on the VFS website to know if it was submitted or not. If it wasn't she should go to VFS to ask what's up. If it was, she can go to the embassy to ask questions. Something may be delaying her application.

Cheers.

Her collection slip is with them how then would she track it??

TYPOP:


I will only answer the part that hasn't been well answered. The majority have been well answered.

- if a person has a 2-weeks return ticket and books a hotel reservation for 1 week (paid), will the immigration have problems with it?. If your letter states your host will cover your expenses, they can simply include you will stay with them and you won't need any hotel reservation. But they will need to include their proof of accommodation. It is if they fail to state that you will stay with them that you may need hotel reservation.

Cheers.

Thanks.

Hello Gurus in da house,please how long does it take to process/fast track SA documents at the embassy.How does one fast track and how much will it cost with the visa processing? Needs to travel to SA next week for an official assignment.

Suggestion to Seun Osewa the owner of Nairaland. Kindly move the closed icon beside the topics followed a bit far away. I have often times closed my followed topic especially this page in a bid to view the last page.
I hope the moderator of this page will forward this to the appropriate corners for consideration.

From experience, Exchange rate varies depending on which bank atm(absa, fnb, standard bank etc) you are withdrawing from.
Previously GTB use to charge N1000 per withdrawal from foreign atms, but I think it has reduced to N460 now.
Also the bank, you are using their atm for transactions will also deduct their own fee, standard bank charges R25 per withdrawal, am not sure about absa and the rest.
POS is free except for Ubafricard, they charge 2.75% per transaction.

Yes per withdrawal, POS is free... Ubafricard charges the percentage for PoS and N1000 per withdrawal...

You can buy rands and also have some naira in your bank account.. Just note that rands is expensive now with bureau de change, compared with the official exchange rate in the banks.
If you bank with stanbic ibtc, you can open a rands account with them, and deposit your rands inside, they don't charge for withdrawing rands

About Abu Dhabi

Wherever you end up in Abu Dhabi you can expect to be greeted with warmth and be no more than three hours from the capital city.

I will get back to the bank to make enquiry, i asked the lady that opened the account, she my atm card is debit and not credit card so i can only use it within the republic. I go ask about this online banking. Tanx.

@Yemi .....You can never convert Asylum to PR.NEVER! .Most Asylum given to Nigerians are just temporily slip to show they have applied it is not the refugee passport that is why many can't leave SA because if they do ,Visa will be needed to enter .if it was possible all Nigerians with Assylum here would ve gotten PR. Two weeks ago I was discussing with a guy he has spent 12years in SA I asked him how he got PR .he said he is using Asylum for 12years he can't convert to Pr .he will convert to work/study first before applying for PR.The asylum most Nigerians have are just slip that is y dey keep going for renewal ,if you have refugee passport u can apply for PR but with slip ...,,,never ! I was laughing within me when you mention that your target is to get PR,just like dat !Sir ....the easiest route to any country of the world is STUDY PERMIT .Both of you should get study permit (2years to 3years visa depending on program)before the expiring of the two years you figure out what u want to do .You mention Jobs?There are no jobs for SA citizens talkless of foreigners unless you are science oriented,medical professional ,IT or u have skills to genate your money .

God bless you my brother, Nigerians with no aim are the ones that come into SA and seek refugee, its so sad and this kills the dreams of people with bettter value. The guy has not even got a visa he is thinking of asylum. Asylum are for people that are not safe in their country or the country is at war, yet some Nigerians will come and claim this status, sad, spoiling the image of Nigeria in the process

To all our guys in Durban, how are you people? We stand with you in these trying times. Please be safe. Better safe than sorry guys.

May God keep us all. Cheers.

Thanks guys, for all the educative posts. Please is there any stipulated number of days for which my SA visa must be valid before I'm allowed entry into SA? I got a 3-month multiple entry in November and travelled. I got another 3-month multiple entry visa in March and travelled but I have a meeting in May during which my visa will still be valid. I heard that sometimes they insist it must be valid for 1 month or more before I am allowed entry,
