Yes it was denied at vfs Pretoria. To renew for current year my previous visa which has been crossing borders of SA and Zim for multiple times now is apparently invalid. They would have spotted this at the borders already. Whoever adjudicated was really unfair.

Denied visa application
Good day guys

I wanted to find out if a visa renewal was denied due to the fact that they claim that I had an invalid previous visa. Which is not the case cause I applied from vfs Harare it's a study visa then now I was doing a renewal in SA. How long does it take to appeal or to get a response from the appeal.

Whether you cancel and request for your passport or not the process is the same it takes time, so once you have submitted just wait for them to return your passport back

Hello

It takes a VERY LONG time.

I applied last year in October and they took my passport. Up to now, it has been 6 months.

Yes
It is only possible when you have a valid permit, if its your first Nope it is not possible they will take your passport

If you have a permit you need to make copies of your passport (full passport) and certify every page
