Repatriation deposit
Hello,

I went to South Africa in december 2013 on a spouse visa. I had paid Rs 40000 as repatriation deposit along with my visa. I have permanently returned from SA earlier this year before the expiry of my visa.
Can I get assistance on how to get the repatriation deposit back?

Requesting to process my Visa for short term project under 11(2)
To,
The Consulate General
of the Republic of South Africa,
Mumbai, India

Respected Sir/Madam,
I hope this letter serves you well. I’m contacting you with regards to my Short term project under 11(2) visa application submitted on 05th-10-17 via Vfs Global, Bangalore .

As the short term project was due to start in 23rd-10-2017. I have not received Any update on my visa. When contacted VFS they don't have Any update. And same message is getting displayed in VFS tracking.

I understand that Visa dept. is inundated with high volume of visa applicants and for some instances the processing time may be lengthy. However, I humbly request to kindly speed up the process and despatch my visa before 27th. Below is detail of my application.

My Application Ref Nos is:-
BAGL/051017/0001/01
Passport number: P4597596

It would be of great help for me if you look into my case with priority & release my visa before the mentioned date.

Urgent processing of South African Visa. Reference No. DHMU/220917/0057/01
This is further to my letter reference Nos. SA/AL/V-1 dated September 21, 2017,SA/AL/V-2 dated September 21, 2017,SA/AL/V-3 dated October 5, 2017, SA/AL/V-4 dated October 11, 2017 and SA/AL/V-5 dated October 18, 2017 to which I have not received any response.
Since I am going on a business visit to Invest in a water bottling plant, I need to be present for all the meetings. I had to postpone my earlier flight ticket due to a dental problem till when my South African visa as not processed. However even till date I find that each time I contact VFS their reply is “ the application is with South African Consulate and they can only forward the same”.

I am in complete darkness and do not know how long the process will take since there are some critical business meetings which are of great importance to me. I would request you to please expedite my visa immediately for me to leave on November 2, 2017 vide flight No. ET 611 of Ethiopian Airlines, a copy of which has already been submitted to you.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely,


Ms.Aruna Lall
