Does visa on arrival work for Nigerians visiting Vietnam? I was invited for a brief visit and the hosting organization applied for a VOA for me which has been approved and letter sent but I just want to double check if I will be allowed to travel. Thank you

Yes. I boarded. Beautiful country

Thank you. This afternoon, i emailed the ministry of Foreign affairs and of cabinet of the Ministry, i copied the consul and the ambassador expressing my disappointment in very harsh tone. The ambassador just got off the phone with me.. be like me i go collect my port this Saturday o.. and be like e go be home delivery. I told the ambassador that you cant just be messing with everybody.. i don vex abeg..

Pamylady:


Well,i submitted on 20th March.. Opted for DHL and up till this moment, DHL website refused to update. And i mean what date did they write as date of issue? i am not asking for duration.. because i am trying to keep track of how long it takes to move from their consulate in Lagos to Abuja because they are f*ck**g wasting my time!

Can't seem to find the date of issue on it but I guess it doesn't take up to 1 day to move from the consulate back to TLS. If It is not yet with DHL then it means it is at the consulate. The return process is very fast

Pamylady:

great! Congrats.. did you submit in Lagos or Abuja? was it DHL pickup or You went to TLS? and so sorry to ask, what was the date of issue on the Visa?

TLS Abuja. Opted for DHL. Not sure what date of issue you are referring to but they gave me 3 weeks starting from my arrival date (I applied for 9 days)

Bammybestowed:


So no Visa update till now? If you got visa recently e visa or sticker, please let us know and the timeline too.

Please how long did it take from when you applied till when it came? I applied (2 weeks tourist evisa) on 16th Jan 2023, my flight is 17th Feb (next week Friday), no evisa till now and no response from home affairs. I applied through VFS. (

Update!
Arrived South Africa at 5:30am this morning.
E visa had a separate check which involve capture, finger print scan, and stamp on my port.
After which I proceded to my final destination.
Please both site for e-visa provide by the group are genuine and verifiable. Infact most of us were with the 87 dollar application. There was never issue with it at all.

My host, a South African company which actually invited me, sent a mail last week Monday with my ref number, to the DHA , no response till today. If not for official purposes, the stress and palpitations are not worth it. Crap

Myst77:


There’s probably an internal issue or they are simply overwhelmed with applications. All in all, we can now conclude that VFS evisa processing time is no longer predictable. One can only wait for the outcome. Nothing more to do, sadly.

Please is this e-DHA or e-VFS? Wahala no dey taya South Africa

Tryhard:


It would be e-DHA! People should avoid that platform for now. It has so many errors

This is very refreshing to read. Fingers crossed. Thank you very much

Myst77:
The processing time window has not elapsed. According to VFS, processing time is 5-10 working days so, you shouldn’t be expecting an outcome until 30 Jan 2023. I would even recommend giving them 15 working days before you begin to worry.

Also, don’t allow one applicant’s delayed outcome affect you or scare you as each person’s application is different. Until there are numerous complaints about the processing time, let’s not conclude that the VFS evisa process has caught the disease of the walk-in process . Note that people generally come to this platform to express their concerns. Those that have secured their evisa won’t be bothered unless a few who would be willing to share the good news here (and I mean only a handful). So don’t panic!

Anniebam:
Who has gotten e VFS visa recently? This wait is tiring🥹🤧

When did you apply? I applied on 16th Jan 2023 to travel 17th Feb 2023. I am unsure as the kind of news I am hearing from others is not encouraging.
