Its a good thing that VFS send you an email telling you that passport is ready.Its much organized than the process directly at the embassy

Bookling for collection
Hi guys, if you haven't received an sms/call from the SA embassy regarding your permit being out, is it advisable to book for collection? (I applied for a general work permit in mid November and have not received a response, they said check in 2 weeks on 5 occasions and I am not based in Harare)

Fingerprint Biometric
@legalimmigrant

Please enlighten me on this fingerprint system.Is it part of the application requirements.

I recall some time the VFS in SA was in the process of implementing a new biometric system whereby it was not necessary to submit a police clearnce.Instead ,the visa applicant undergoes a biometric scan at the VFS offices,which will then link up with the SA Police fingerprint database.

Are you saying they are implementing an almost similar system??
