The maths

Lawyers charge R18,000–R30,000. The paperwork is the same.

People don't pay lawyers for legal advice on a routine extension — they pay because the forms are intimidating. We make that part simple, for a fraction of the price.

How it works

Four steps. Most of the work is ours.

You hand over the documents. Our AI does the reading, sorting and form-filling. You just check it and go.

STEP 01

Upload anything

Sign up and drop in your documents — proper scans, phone photos, screenshots of your banking app. No formatting, no stress. If you're missing something, Sal tells you exactly what and why.

STEP 02

Sal reads & organises

Sal — our AI prep agent — reads every file, pulls out the details that matter (names, dates, visa numbers, balances) and arranges everything in the exact order the Department of Home Affairs expects.

STEP 03

We build your VFS application

We prepare your complete application on the VFS system and assemble a clean document package with your covering letter — your reason for staying, written properly. Ready in 24–48 hours.

STEP 04

Review & apply in person

We notify you the moment it's ready. Log in, read everything through, download your package, then attend your VFS appointment to pay and submit. Everything's already done — you just show up prepared.

FAQ

Quick answers

Yes. VisaExtension.co.za is a form preparation service, not a law firm. Form preparation — helping you complete your own application — is legal in South Africa. We don't give legal advice and we don't submit on your behalf: you review everything and apply in person. See our full disclaimer.
R3,500 per person for standard (48-hour) or R5,500 for expedited (24-hour). On top of that you pay the government's R580 (R425 + R155) directly to VFS at your appointment. There's nothing else.
Passport bio page, your current visa, proof of accommodation, three months of bank statements, a return or onward ticket, and a short reason for extending. Don't worry about getting it perfect — upload what you have and the agent will tell you what's still missing.
We prepare the entire application and your document package. You review it, confirm it's correct, then attend your VFS appointment to pay and submit in person — that final step is always yours.
Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we're POPIA-compliant. We delete your uploads 90 days after delivery, and you can request deletion at any time.
If you've overstayed, had a prior refusal, or need a work/business/permanent-residence application, we'll tell you up front and point you to a qualified immigration attorney — before you pay. We handle straightforward visitor, study and medical extensions.
Why we built this
“Someone close to us was quoted R30,000 to extend a visa. So we built an AI agent that did the whole thing in an afternoon — every form, every document, organised correctly. It worked. We made it available to everyone.”

Built in Cape Town by a small team who went through the process themselves.
