frontendsoftwar: Look online bro. There are varieties of hotels to choose from. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by frontendsoftwar(m): 2:09pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
cashdosh: Ok brother I will do just that. just needs one more question answered. do I need to pay for the hotel before applying for the visa or is it hotel reservation just as for flight reservation |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by cashdosh(m): 2:13pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
frontendsoftwar: Hotel must be paid |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by michaellild(m): 2:40pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
Wow, I'm short of words. Thanks anyways. What else can I do. Torh. timaji2003: |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 2:44pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
I received a decision letter from SA high commission today after weeks of delay! They wrote "Visa denied because the hotel reservation lacks credibility " however you can write rep letter or appeal at VFS center in less than ten days of this receipt! Has anyone experience this before? Or what do you suggest I should do on this thanks. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by frontendsoftwar(m): 3:05pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
EdenNG: Didn't you make payment for the hotel? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 3:17pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
Yes, I only booked both hotel and fight without payment cos I'm not sure if the visa will be issued. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by frontendsoftwar(m): 3:37pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
cashdosh: Hmmm... My brother cashdosh said hotel must be paid. I think if they see the payment for hotel booking they will handle the case seriously @EdenNG |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by timaji2003: 3:53pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
EdenNG: Lagos or Abuja? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by cashdosh(m): 3:53pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
EdenNG: Just reapply and make sure you pay for your hotel this time. Don’t even bother to appeal. Apparently, your hotel reservation was canceled by the hotel because you didn’t make payment. Hence the the embassy could not verify your hotel reservation, they decided to deny you. That was a silly mistake though! |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by timaji2003: 3:55pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
EdenNG:Is the payment for flight reservation compulsory? |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by michaellild(m): 4:09pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
Wasn't VFS supposed to tell you to pay before submitting your application. They have only one job to do! They're just making you waste unnecessary money. Sorry about that. EdenNG: 1 Like |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 5:06pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
Lagos or Abuja Lagos. |

Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by andrew444(m): 7:10pm On Jul 16, 2019 |
EdenNG: Try to re apply and correct your mistake They are just using this as an excuse Most people that traveled to sa didnt pay for the hotel they booked. |

michaellild:There is no guarantee that saqa evaluation will take two weeks it depends on your school response .I have seen saqa evaluation that took 3months because the school in Nigeria refused to reply .Often times schools in Nigeria do not reply on time and some ask for verification money .2. Saqa evaluation for first document is R1900 and second document is 600 making 2500 .How come 40k naira ? Above all , candidate with bsc do not need to evaluate waec the bsc is okay no need evaluation of waec for applicants applying for masters program ,candidate with m.sc applying for PhD will evaluate only masters. it is a waste of money to evaluate two documents . You only evaluate two docs if you have OND and HND certificates . 7 Likes |

EdenNG:Book hotel for 14days and pay one or two nights and let the hotel manager issue you receipt ,attached the receipt to your application and submit afresh .Do not appeal 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Geenosko: 1:28pm On Jul 17, 2019 |
Let me drop some tips for any one who wants to do SAQA evaluation for masters. Have certified copies of the following documents 1. Your degree certificate 2. Your transcripts Plus the other application forms from SAQA Without these two you will get an incomplete documentation email Then have someone you can liaise with at your exams and records office or whatever the name is at your institution. This is to minimise delays as some schools can take forever to respond. Also sometimes saqa may send incomplete transcript, so that's why you would need someone on the inside to help you attend to these things speedily. Is two weeks possible, theoretically yes (assuming your institution responds promptly) else it could take you as much as three months to get it done. If you have a bachelors degree, you only need your certificate plus transcript If you have OND + HND, you need both certificates and transcripts. Waec/Neco is only for people who are starting first degree not post graduate. 6 Likes 1 Share |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by taiwosmith03(f): 2:27pm On Jul 17, 2019 |
Hi everyone. Can anybody help with info as regards the delay of visa issuance especially study permit. I applied on 15th March at VFS Lagos with sufficient funds {sponsored by my dad} and other documents. Its 4 months now as at Monday. I ve contacted DHA in SA and they do reply with mails to offer assistance, i was given 2 weeks by them but expired last week. VFS isn't helping as well. Although the school i got admitted for PhD in Chemistry is aware of what is going on and also the medical insurance. A friend got to SA last week and said he got his after 4 months, same as an acquaintance. Is there hope that we March applicants can get our visas this july, with the idea that February applicants got theirs june. This has become annoyingly tiring. Any info will be appreciated. 1 Like |

please house anybody with latest update from abuja cuz I'm getting fed going to 3months now to process visit visa nawa for this south Africa sef if they won't issue visa at least they should even release passport |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by sirrotex: 4:49pm On Jul 17, 2019 |
You need to book an appointment before submission. If you are lucky enough VFS can assist you via email, if not you need to go to their office with your passport datapage. I was at their office on July 15 and the submission date is August 14. So long a time. BOLDD: |
