Lol sure I will do that thanks for the reply I appreciate

It only means that your passport is ready for collection. The message (or VFS as a whole) does not say whether or not you've been granted Visa. I wish you the very best. Please share your testimony tomorrow to encourage others on this platform. [/quote]

Hello House,

It has joined the queue for processing.

It simply means your application has been received by the High Commission in Nigeria. The processing duration however depends on a lot of factors, most important are;
- The type of Visa you are applying for (Visit, Tourism, CSV, Medical, Study). Visit visas usually have the shortest processing duration.
- Ease of verifying your information.
- Submission of all necessary documents.
- The company inviting your or sponsoring your trip. Invitations or sponsorship by SA affiliated companies usually take far less period. In fact, I know some dudes that got their Visa application submitted, processed and returned all within 5working days.
- Luck. There are cases of 2 family members submitting the same documents for the same type of visa but while the first's application was treated in days, the other is running into months.

...and the speed of processing the application doesn't guarantee or give a clue whether the Visa will be granted or not.

Best of Luck.

Guys please how much are they collecting for Police report and how long does it take to get it?

*Visa Denial, Delay and Passport hostages*

Visa Facility Services Global otherwise known as VFS in-charge of visa application processing across the world has not been living up to it duty.

VFS in line with its nomenclature should be up to global standard in terms of service and operation. And this should be carried out with utmost diligence regardless of its location or territory of operation.

It is indeed an expression of dissatisfaction to note that VFS Nigeria handling visa application by Nigerian to South Africa has fallen short of global standard practices.

It worries majority of Nigerian applicants and travellers why the changes in its modus operandi in Nigeria based on the fact that;

Travel documents such as international passports are now being retained from the period of application through the processing period and decision period which since early 2019 now takes nothing less than 6 months or more. This costs lots of applicants an unprecedented trauma as they delay for months. Be that as it may, the onus of the delay and denial of application lies in the hands of the SA DHA but the bane of concerns
and worries are:

While the international passport is being held by VFS Nigeria/ DHA applicants are denied the opportunity to make use of their travel documents for another important travel plans! And other personal/ identification purposes.

The question remains:
Why is VFS Nigeria in charge of South Africa modus operandi different to other VFS in other countries?

Is this the kind of services they rendered across the globe by which they claim they have global recognition?

We wish to call the concern MDAs in Nigeria to please intervene and find an urgent solution to this unwarranted hostage of travel documents.

Please share and circulate till it reaches the necessary authorities.

We hope that it will be accorded a swift response with immediate solutions.

Thanks

But is it true that if you reside in other states outside Lagos your document must be sent to Lagos for scrutiny before you get it?

Yes please.

I really cannot confirm how it is done in other states but I am certain of the one in Lagos.

the last document I sent to South Africa with UPS, I paid 15000. I think it's much cheaper, and they have students promo too..

Greetings, on what ground can one apply for permit rectification? To be specific the the condition states that TO BE ADMITTED UNTIL 2021/12/31 TO SYUDY AT NORTH WEST UNIVERSITY instead of TO BE ADMITTED UNTIL 2021/12/31 TO STUDY AT NORTH WEST UNIVERSITY. Is that a reason to apply for rectification?
