Horladortune: Please i want to know how long does it takes for a medical visa application takes to be processed out of their embassy?

collinsfbi: Applying under medical is the same as tourist and the normal processing days remain 6-10days except if the embassy decides to add more days for verifications.

Horladortune:
Today make it the eleventh working days and i'm yet to get any message apart from the submission one! What can be the cause and i must fly before christmas. Is it when you get your visa that it starts counting and how many months is it likely to be... Please let me know sir

opsy4real1: and is it necessary to submit receipt of vacination card? i got mine from the port health centre and wasnt given any receipt

chelseabmw: You will need to submit both.....After everything they will give you the yellow card to take home.Please you will have to keep it

collinsfbi: No! In fact, I don't think they issue receipt for vaccination card. I am sure chelseabmw is referring to visa receipt in his post below. As for the yellow, all what you need to submit is the photocopy and not the original.

chelseabmw:

Yea, we are saying the same thing..When you go for submission you will have to present the original of the vaccination card and the receipt..Once you submit your other document,the yellow card and the receipt will be given to you.You are to submit the photocopy but they will like to see the original first

STENACO: It is close to three months I submitted for my study permit but I have not heard from the embassy. Whenever we go to check for it they say it is not fully processed. Does it take this time? I am getting tired of the whole delay although I am meant to travel by December ending. What do I do because their numbers are not going instead.

collinsfbi: Tourist visas remain 6-10days and maximum of 6weeks for study permit but some applications may exceed the normal processing days/weeks if the embassy renders such to be incomplete or if the verification process of some documents takes longer than expected.

I just picked up my passport with the Visa today.....

ayostacey: Hello,

I am a Nigerian married to an American for several years. We have been living in Nigeria and Ghana for the past three plus years. Soon she is going to file a petition for me to get a Visa for the US so that she can go back home. We know that process will take about a year and she is quite fed up with Nigeria/Ghana...and so am I to be truthful. We have looked into other places that I could go without needing a visa, but those places are almost impossible to get to (barbados, etc). So we are now leaning towards spending the months waiting for our petition/visa to the states to go thru in a more conducive environment. I have read thru almost all the posts here, but they are mostly geared toward schooling/work permits, etc and we are seeking none of those. Just a stay in SA. She does not need a visa to go there, I do. I've never traveled anywhere else, so can you tell me if it will be hard or lengthy to get the Visa...also, ive read the requirements: having 300,000 in my account would be no problem...paying the fees; no problem...having a paid hotel reservation; no problem, etc. They say the visa they grant is for 3 months. So, if we wanted to stay longer...is it hard to get an extension? Would we be able to extend for another 3 months? Also, we want to secure an apartment once we get there. We would be able to pay the 6 months in advanced. Will landlords accept this from foreigners or do they like to rent to locals who are locally employed? We are thinking that Cape Town would prob be the best area to stay, but we wont have a car. Is it hard to get around without one? thanks for any input!!

ayostacey: thanks for that great information. You said that I, the Nigerian citizen can apply for the extension with no problems, will that be the same for my American wife..since you said she will only be stamped for 90 days? Thanks again for your help. If not buying a car in Cape Town, do they have ample taxi's, city busses, etc?

ayostacey: one other thing...if we intend to stay for six months, but they only grant initial visa or stamp for 3 months, would it be risky to have our return ticket showing 6 months departure? in other words, will SA immigration question that?

Horladortune: Hello friends and brothers, I tracked my application online and this is what I got "Processed application is ready for collection
from The South Africa Visa Application
Center,Lagos as on 07/12/2012". What does that mean because I didn't get any alert on my phone...
this is my first time......

collinsfbi: It means your application for visa has been completely processed at SA Embassy and returned to Lagos Application Centre for collection. You can now go and collect your passport with or without visa but I pray you will be granted.
