South Africa visa requirements
Hi there,
My son was married to a South African citizen in December 2017 and wishes to go to s.a. To live with his wife. We understand that he should apply for a spouse visa under the temporary residence criteria. He hopes to get. Visa for 2.5 years initially which can then be renewed for a further 2.5 years. Can anyone tell whether he definitely needs to provide financial information with the visa application?
As far as we can see this is not necessary.However we have contacted VFS Global,who handle the visa applications in London on behalf of the South African High Commission and they insist that the financial information is mandatory for this type of visa. Can anyone help clarify this point because we are very confused? many thanks

I am applying for the same visa...
I was told by VFS email helpline that I need £600 plus it had to be in the account of the South Africa national.. although when I called the helpline I was told it could be a joint account. I then double check with a second phone call and this time I was told it could be my account.
Incidently I contacted a consultant and they said no such finiacial proof was required..
How did your sons application go?
