I think traveling date always determine the issuing of Visa, the nearer the date the faster the processing, and the farther the date the longer it will take for processing. Is this right my people??

It wasnt Nigerians who attacked their police men, it was their own citizen who did that. I dont know why they like giving us false news.at first I read the news on punch news paper but later read on Twitter from their president Instagram handle telling the citizen how wrong it is to attack their police.may God help us

(moreso without hurling out insults ).

TYPOP:


It simply means that if you leave SA after your visa has expired, they will ban you from entering SA. How long someone overstays will determine for how long the person is banned.

Thanks for your prompt response, so I should leave it blank since there's no plan to overstay? I appreciate your answer.

dre44k:
When is your suppose travel date?

DoubleGiant:
Please, how long does it take for the courier service to deliver a passport if someone paid for it when applying for visa?

TYPOP:
Guys, if you are still waiting for your visa, I think you need to pray to whatever God you serve for favour. Trust me, you'll be needing it. The recent attacks by Nigerians on the South African Police (I was only just seeing the images today) will definitely have a response. I pray we applying for visas are not one of the casualties in this matter.

The attack was not carry out by Nigerians . Watch the video again you will see clearly the Somalians and Ethiopians in the video . Do not join the wagon accusing Nigerians for every bad thing that happen in SA . When a Tanzanian was caught in robbery he claimed to be a Nigerian when asked to speak any Nigerian language he became dumb .Now any migrant caught in crime quickly claimed to be a Nigerian to attract headlines and hel p

TYPOP:
Amen o. And thank you for the clarification (moreso without hurling out insults ). I'll surely be seeking more info about the news also.
Thanks again.

TYPOP:


The minimum period of overstay ban is 1 year. The maximum period of overstay is 5 years. I'm not sure which one you should state or whether you should leave it blank. All I can do is provide the info and you can decide. I'm sure others here can also advise.

August 10th... Applied in Lagos, paid for courier services and no response, no calls

TYPOP:


I already responded to the initial clarification bro (my initial response below).



I heard of it from Nigerians (at least 5 of them showing me the video) and telling me it was by Nigerians. I had no reason to disbelieve them since they are more present online on social media than I am. When I gave them the feedback yesterday that it might not have been Nigerians, they initially told me that ENCA keeps reporting foreign nationals in their news up until yesterday. Of course, they agree now it was most likely not Nigerians.

I try my best to give accurate info as I have it and also state when I'm not sure of the info. I'm not one to dish out info with triviality, by now you of all people should know that. I had accepted corrections immediately when corrected. Your reply would have been great without the part.

Even now the info is unclear. You said Somalians/Ethiopians. Damimubo said they were South Africans. What we know for a fact was that raids were carried out in downtown Jozi over that weekend and foreign nationals without valid documents on them were rounded up (rightfully so).

Thanks for your correction though, I appreciate it.
