Hello house, I want to apply for visiting visa with my child (4 years). I intend using only my business statement of (I am a sole signatory). I don’t have enough funds in my personal but I have access to the funds in my business . Pls I just need to know if I can submit only my business for the application. You response/advice will be appreciated

Pls my agent told me that it's very hard to obtain visa currently(Starting from December 2018 and January 2019) at SA embassy in Lagos and Abuja.
Now she gave me an option of applying and obtaining the visa for me through SA embassy in Ghana utilizing her ..
My question: Is it possible to obtain SA visa from Ghana as a Nigerian and still travel from Nigeria without issues. Can the visa be given without the individual seeking for it being physically present in Ghana..
Pls someone with good information should update me before I commit my money..
Thanks

Also, what are the possible ways of getting visa extension when one is already in the country...? Can applying for short courses help?

Actually , once all the documents needed for the visa application is ready, only the visa fee will be paid and is about 30k plus , except if the applicant needs an assistance from travel agent that might bring about service charge .

So I think even with less that 45k , u can process your south Africa visa but visa issuance is left only to the consular .

I stand to be corrected, we learn everyday.

Thanks all

Please, stop spreading false news here. I went to Joburg last year with Kenya airways.

. Please when you used Kenya Airways, you made mention of getting a transit visa to enter Kenya. Please, am traveling on the 3rd of march and would like to spend a day in Kenya. I have booked my flight with Kenya airways and would like to know if I can get the online transit visa now. I want to know for how long it is valid before I use it. Thanks

This is not exactly true.
The poe officials don't discriminate based on the airline you use.

It's no longer possible to change status on visitor's visa in SA.

We will not stop you from going o!
The locals here are unemployed, no one will give you any decent job w/o valid permit unless of course you plan to do something illegal.
Anyway it seems that your mind is made up.

1.It's possible to apply for extension on a visitor's visa

2. Your visitors visa will clearly state work or study not permitted

Any challenges at the POE in SA? and I guess you are enjoying your trip to south Africa now

I HAVE LANDED SAFELY, INFACT GOD MERCY WAS THERE FOR ME, I WASN'T QUESTION AT ALL, SHE ONLY ASK MY RETURN TICKET AND I GAVE IT TO HER AND SHE STAMPED IN ..MERCIFUL FATHER

90 days stay on what Visa category? multiple or single entry? My logic does not tell you every single person flying to SA on a visit Visa will be returned if they use a different airline other than SAA. I have friends that used Rwand air for the first time and were. I also have friends that were not returned, came back again using SAA and were accepted. Don’t compare a port with travel history to a virgin one on one month visit visa. It is only adviseable to you their national carrier as they mostly don’t bother at POE OR thambo or ask you tons of questions or verification. Also SAA is direct flight.

A British immigration officer and a South African immigration officer are not THE SAME so it cannot be saying the same thing.

I travelled for the first time with Ethiopian airlines and at had no problem or whatever at the POE

Yes you can ...Infact I used my dad's in which he was the sole signatory.. You just need a reference letter from the bank In accordance with your statement of stating that you're the sole signatory and that you intend to travel.. Lobatan and also you started it in your introduction letter and financial letter

Hello house.
I need your help urgently.
The application of my study permit
renewal was submitted around two
weeks ago. The status on vfs keeps
displaying "under review at SA embassy".
I should have submitted earlier but my
SAPS character clearance took forever to
arrive.
Now my progress reports will be closing next week and I can't submit without ing for the school year. Besides the fact that I am losing a lot presently and my sup is getting upset.
Please what can I do to hasten this process?
What alternatives do I got?
Thanks.

Visit http://evisa.go.ke/evisa.html for the evisa(transit visa) I paid $21 for it & it's valid for 72hrs. Before you apply for it, check that you have more than 10hrs layover at Kenya, then book for a hotel in Nairobi. Get all your documents scanned including itinerary.
Apply, pay with your ATM card. Instantly, you will get the visa issued online.

thanks for the response. So you mean I can apply for the transit visa right away even thou my travel date is till 3rd of next month and it will still be valid by the time I want to travel. Does it mean the 72 hours will start counting from the time my port is stamped at the POE? I have over 16hrs layover at Nairobi on my way to SA and would like to spend that time inside the city.

Yes, apply now and your date of arrival should tally with your layover date. It starts counting from the date of arrival.

They will stamp you in and out.

No lol those places are the hood with a lot of foreigners without jobs. They hustle there. If you’re coming for vacation,you’ll be fine. A lot of people come to SA for vacation. But beware of the airport environment when you are leaving the airport and don’t stop for nothing.

Lol. Thank you, it got me thinking. If someone have to be scared and that careful moving around, is it not better to stay in my hood here. Atleast, it's relatively safe here
