Overview

Visa Farm provides complete end-to-end visa solutions for Bangladeshi citizens planning to visit South Africa for leisure, business meetings, or higher education. Since there is no functional diplomatic mission of South Africa in Bangladesh, all visa applications for Bangladeshi passport holders are processed through the South African High Commission / VFS Centre in New Delhi, India. With Visa Farm’s Touchless Third-Country Submission service, you do not need to travel to India. Simply submit your documents to our office in Dhaka, and our dedicated logistics network will manage the submission and passport retrieval on your behalf.
