Understanding the Visa
E-Visa or Sticker Visa (Non-Appearance)?
Both options let you apply without appearing in person. The difference is the visa format:
E-Visa — a fully electronic visa, linked to your passport digitally
Sticker Visa (Non-Appearance) — a physical visa sticker placed in your passport, processed without an in-person interview
Same document requirements apply to both
Multiple applicants must each provide the full set of documents
Key Financial Requirement
₦5,000,000 Minimum
Your last 3 months' bank statement must show a minimum balance of ₦5,000,000. A valid yellow fever vaccination card is also required.
DOCUMENT CHECKLIST

Departure date from South Africa
Proof of Finances
Personal bank statement (last 3 months)

THE APPLICATION
Why South Africa Visa applications get delayed
The checklist is short, but each item matters. Here's what we check for before anything is submitted.
1
Bank Balance Below ₦5,000,000
Your 3-month bank statement must clearly show the minimum ₦5,000,000 balance — anything less is a straightforward refusal risk.
2
Missing or Invalid Yellow Fever Card
A valid yellow fever vaccination card is compulsory — an expired or missing card will hold up your application.
3
Incorrect Travel Dates
Your stated arrival and departure dates need to be accurate and consistent throughout your application.
4
Incomplete Group Applications
If travelling with others, every applicant needs their own complete set of documents — missing paperwork for even one person can delay the whole group.
