Good day,i have been to South africa a couple of times say 6 times i applied last year,the agent i used actually used a fake bank statment,i was denied based on that, this year i applied with my bank statment with a reasonable account balance,the reason for denial states that bank statement invalid ....i am confused now,i was asked to contest within 10workings days ,if i fell the reason is not justified...can any one help me with how to go about it ....

don't get caught with fraud or lie with a consular, u will need many fact and lie to clean your self, but I will advice you to reapply not appeal then collect reference letter from bank with your bank statement this time ok.

I have my South African Visa already and I have paid for my flight booking through a third party platform (www.ajala.ng). Please will there be any issue raised at the port of entry for booking through a third party?

Also, I hope hotel booking with payment on arrival will not raise issues at the port of entry?

your booking should have a reference no use that to track the authenticity of your booking, I won't advice you book hotel at the point of entry. Pls book it from Niger here before you board I even heard the latest now that u can't board from Nigeria without booking hotel, u will be check at the port

@walejumy yes I started with SALA,please what do you mean DHL, are you referring to the courier service

Geminita:

yes,

No I didn't use DHL

I just got a ups mail today and visit visa wasn’t given. Reasons:
1. insufficient funds to embark on trip( had about 1.460m in the account with very healthy transaction flow)

2. Bank Statement transactions lacks credibility (wonder what they mean by that)

I was told I could appeal within 10 working days. Do I appeal or apply again later? If so, how long do I wait before I re-apply?

Is there anyone that was denied on these grounds and later issued a visa on subsequent applications?

@cucumba did you go through phone interview

Geminita:
@cucumba did you go through phone interview

No phone interview.

2. Statement lacks credibility (wonder how my statement of account from the same bank i work would lack credibility) not like I signed the statement myself, eventhough i am an authorized signatory. should I have used account statement from another bank?

yes, a commercial bank. I’m the only one that was supposed to go for the trip.

Chief, make sure you book & pay. They won’t allow you check-in in Nigeria. They verify anything verifiable at MMA.

I just passed through SA immigration about 1hr ago, they keep sidelining the young looking guys for reasons best known to them. I can’t even start typing the reasons ‘cuz I was able to confirm from some of them.

Know what you filled in your forms too.

Cheers!

Hi Guys,

Please i need your expert guidance on SA Visa application.

After some series of online assessment and skype interview, i have been invite for another phase of job interview in SA.

I have seen on the VFS site that they have a Visa category for interview: http://www.vfsglobal.com/southafrica/nigeria/interviews.html

We have agreed on a temporary date of June 11th for the interview, though i may reschedule a week before (especially if i dont get my visa before that time)

The coy has provided me with an invitation letter (letter says i will be attending a job interview with them and wont stay more than 10 days, specific dates not included) and a non paid flight/hotel booking booked for June 9th,10th, and 11th (they will be responsible for both).

I have also obtained a generic introduction letter from my current employer (also without date of arrival and departure and purpose of visit).

I also intend to include my GTbank salary account statement with Just 70K balance and My Stanbic Mutual Fund statement with about 3M balance (I can move money from the stanbic account within 24 hours, but dont want to do so, so that it doesn't appear like a lump sum deposit in my salary account).

I will also include Marriage cert and Kids birth cert and a self introduction letter.

Will all this be enough to get them to grant the visa for 3 days.

What is the implication if the visa was not granted before June 11th, will they because the date of the interview has passed and deny the Visa?
even though the coy will allow me reschedule the interview as long as i have my visa.

Also advise if there is any other thing i can include to make this work.


---------------------------

Alternatively, someone has advised that i go to a tourist visa stating that i am going on vacation.

For this, he said i should just include the following:

self intro letter
Introduction letter from employer
i should look for one or two tourist location to visit
Request for 10 days
Include both bank statements
Book for non paid hotel and flights directly online.

Then once the visa is granted, the i can now re-schedule the interview and go for the interview.


For both , i need your advise on the best approach as i intent to submit application on Friday or Monday.

Thanks .

Do a breakdown detailing your expenses out of the 1.40m

E.g

flight xyz naira
Accommodation
Local transport
Feeding
Shopping

Is your bank statement legit? Did you have lump sum deposits?

They are giving you an opportunity to prove that the account statement is genuine and that you can fund your journey.

If don't appeal, it's by default an admission of guilt and you fit chop ban and they would record you as having submitted fraudulent documents.

All tha best

This is not entirely True.
Address the reasons adequately and reapply.
Trying to appeal the decision is just a waste of time and a fruitless exercise.

Juwohn:

If they does not respond within the ten day window, he will be banned. So according to your logic, how can he reapply when he ignored the consulate's request for clarification?

They are already have suspicions about his bank statements and have given him the opportunity to clarify.

If he doesn't respond, the next time he applies, it will be a straight denial with the reason being fraudulent account statement on file

Do the break down of your expenses

Get a letter from your bank attesting to the fact that your bank statement is legitimate

If there are lump sum deposits, explain

You may not get the visa but you would have been clear your name for future applications.

And send it via courier to the address on the refusal letter.

Please house will 250k be enough to take me to sa i want to visit a friend
