Good evening. My name is Sandra Nwanne, I submitted my Documents to obtain a South Africa Tourist Visa since on the 25th of August 2023 and it’s almost a month and I haven’t gotten a single feedback. My Leave was supposed to start yesterday. I try to track the Visa today and it says “your application is received and under assessment at the South Africa High Commission, Lagos. Please I want to know if my document was moved out and sent to South Africa Embassy because I didn’t even receive an SMS or email notification after I submitted it and I was asked to go with my passport and would be called back to bring it if my Visa was to be approved and the person that attended to me said that it will take 3 to 21 working days and tomorrow will make it 20 working days and I haven’t received any notification. I want to know if my document was moved out to the embassy. Please find below my Reference number and other necessary information. SALA/250823/0001/01 Date of Birth: 25/04/1992 My phone number: 08038945700 Date I submitted the Document: 25/08/2023 by 8am Please I will appreciate a swift response.
