Its okay to proceed on your journey provided your visa is still valid even if you have a week left on it. The most important thing is that you have a valid multiple entry visa which allows you to travel as many times as you wish, within the 3mth period. So, you are good to go. laplace: |

In response to question 1, that section only applies to passengers in transit to another country and doesn't apply to you since your final destination is SA. Simply write " NOT APPLICABLE" on that part of the application form. The same thing applies to the other question u raised below in (1). 2) Since d applicant is a student, simply indicate so on the part that says occupation or profession. It poses no problem at all. All the best.... godownson: |

Please i need to know if the xenophobic attack will affect my Sa visa application... Any ideas please? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 6:08pm On Apr 20, 2015 |
bisi16: Seems your question was overlooked. You can't apply for extension at any home affairs office. You have to apply at VFS office if your choice. Change of status is not quite easy with the new laws. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 6:10pm On Apr 20, 2015 |
olabanji88: They will send an e-mail to the address you provided to let you know they got your application. If you didn't receive the mail, you haven't applied. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 6:11pm On Apr 20, 2015 |
BOWOTO: Well, pray for favour. It depends on the officer that attends to your case. Normally, it shouldn't. Unless there is a diplomatic row and they change their policy suddenly. 1 Like |

TYPOP:online Or hard copy application. Cos am talking of hard copy |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by bisi16(m): 11:49pm On Apr 20, 2015 |
TYPOP:thanks for responding. I'm already in SA and have study permit. am changing school that's why I ask. how do I go abt changing my visa details? thanks again |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 4:22am On Apr 21, 2015 |
olabanji88: You first apply online, then you send all your documents as hard copies. After they get your hard copies, they send you an e-mail. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 4:24am On Apr 21, 2015 |
bisi16: You're welcome man. You go to VFS website, apply online for what you want to do (change of conditions), then you take your documents to the VFS office you choose while applying. PLEASE NOTE: You must have at least 60 days left on your visa before you apply (that's the letter of the law) Also, police report takes about 3 weeks to process so get that on time. Go to http://www.vfsglobal.com/dha/southafrica/, get yourself informed and then apply. |

helo people,pls is thre anyone in the house schooling in cape pennisula university of technology or that knows any nigerian schooling thre? Need information about their tuition fees,accomodation and xenophobia rating.Thanks. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by sultan003(m): 12:20pm On Apr 22, 2015 |
bisi16: You can apply for a change of condition. Apply online at VFS and submit to the nearest VFS office. Just make sure that you have a letter from your former school, specifying that they are releasing you with no obligations, and also a letter of admission from the new school you want to change to(Very important), plus other supporting documents, if you have paid the school fees for the new school, please submit the proof too it helps. Before VFS came on board, home affairs will call you and let you know that there is a missing document and you need to fax the document with so so days. But with VFS, if there is any missing document, your application will be rejected quickly. So just make sure you submit all the required documents |

Please anyone know how long it takes to process a visit visa? Its been two weeks now. I need my passport next week for an urgent assignment and considering withdrawing my application. How does that work? Thanks |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by goryorhal(m): 2:24pm On Apr 22, 2015 |
LadyWolfe: If you need your passport , you better go and withdraw it, I.e if what you are going for its very important and urgent .. Visiting visa takes up to 4-6 weeks ... A living witness ![]() ![]() |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by bisi16(m): 12:36am On Apr 23, 2015 |
sultan003:thanks a lot.. didn't know there's VFS in South Africa. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Ofon15: 6:35am On Apr 23, 2015 |
sultan003: bisi16:Brother,please is this the same step you have to follow if you are about finishing your studies in a particular school here and want to change to another university here in SA the following year? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by sultan003(m): 8:16am On Apr 23, 2015 |
Ofon15: Yes, if you still have a permit that is still valid for years. If not you should be applying for a new one for the new school |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Ofon15: 12:29pm On Apr 23, 2015 |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 6:06am On Apr 26, 2015 |
olabanji88: Normally, you apply for SAQA online yourself, gather the documents yourself, certify them yourself and post them yourself. Of course, anybody could help you with any of the stages above. Your school should not send your application documents for you, unless you are in one of those private schools that decide to do stuff for their students. If they sent it indeed, the document might not have gotten there or they used their own e-mail address instead of yours. That way, the e-mail will be sent to them, not you. I actually used my e-mail for someone (of course with her consent) before so they sent all her mails to me. But as I received them, I forwarded them to the lady immediately. So, it is possible for them to use their own e-mail. Talk to your school |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by olabanji88(m): 10:55am On Apr 26, 2015 |
TYPOP:anyway i can confirm from saqa status of application |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by laplace(m): 6:47pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
Please what documents am I expected to take along to the airport when re-using a multiple entry visa? Do I need any invitation letter, hotel reservation, self intro letter, introduction from company, etc? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 1:10am On Apr 27, 2015 |
laplace: Same documents you used first time. And if this is personal or pleasure, then you don't need company letter. |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by godownson: 3:35pm On Apr 28, 2015 |
hello house, my Lil bro submitted the following things today for a 2 weeks visit visa: -international passport -flight reservation -photocopy of yellow card -2 passport photographs (on white background) -invitation letter from SA host (dated and signed by host) -6 months bank statement of SA host (stamped by bank) -photocopy of SA host's ID card (certified) -SA proof of accommodation (certified). When he got to the vfs center at lekki to submit the documents for the visa application, an official looked at his documents and said they were fine but that he was supposed to come with a letter from his school (a computer school) and another letter (my bro says he cant remember- i'm guessing its an introductory letter or something like that). but then the official said he could still submit the documents like that if he wanted to. so he did submit it. my question is, does the unavailability of the letters requested pose a threat?. i thought everything listed above are the requirements for a visit visa?. what do i need to know... i need your thoughts on this. TYPOP, samtol4, yinkob002 and others who got experience, pls help. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by TYPOP(m): 5:49pm On Apr 28, 2015 |
godownson: It will be nice if he includes a letter of self introduction (I really don't know why we need these things anyway) but the letter from his school is really important. They want to know what people are doing (in Nigeria) and assess the chances of people trying to become illegal residents of their country. In short, they want to know if your brother will have reasons to go back home or if he will try to stay in the Republic. These seem trivial but they may deny people's visas based on these and they may overlook them. I'm asking myself what the way out is and I am seeing difficult choices to be made (either pay to add documents via VFS or go to the embassy to try and beg them so he can add the documents). Unfortunately, it's not a good time to apply for visa cos of the diplomatic row between Naija and SA. Let him pray and seek for favour and then decide on what to do. I'm interested in hearing what the others have to say. cc @collinsfbi @samtol4 @yinkob002 @sultan003 @chemashie @kingmayor |
