Passport time frame?
How long does it takes for South African passport?
I've applied long back in April.
They say its under process;no means to track the status.
if u have family friends they can ring up RSA toll free number and only know if its issue/reissued or not.
(0800 60 11 90 dial from south africa)


As per RSA embassy in USA and UAE they say officially it takes 4-6 months . People also claim they receive their renewed passport after 8-10 months after applying

Passport is stuck for more than 6 weeks
I have applied for South Africa VISA on 19-Jun-2017 and it is stuck for more than 6weeks now.

Based on query raised on 28th-Jun17, I have submitted my qualification degree document as well on 29th-Jun17 but as of now still the last status shows "applicant needs to submit proof of qualifications".

Please can you update the correct status on site so that I would able to understand the issue and fulfill as per requirement or let us know by when VISA will be processed?

Regards

Hi,

I am not sure how momentum health will give you health insurance without examining you since you are in india

I think call your college and ask them if it is fine if you get international health insurance.

whether SA Embassy accepts international health insurance for study visa you can call vfs and confirm with them.

Thanks
