CSV Rejection
@csv If your csv is rejected just do a fresh application forget abt an appeal its just a waste of time.
@Samantha if you dont mind kindly elaborate a bit furthur. Did you submit a three month bank statement in your name with a closing balance of $300 or if you used a sponsor, did this sponsor make an undertaking to fund your stay in sa, was the sponsor's bank statement indicating a monthly income of R8500 or above. im trying to understand their logic in rejecting your application, ey cant just do it willy-nilly

Application Process
Good day
My question is, I would like to submit my application in Harare and return to work in SA, I phoned the VFS offices and was told that I have to submit my passport for the whole duration of permit processing. My question is how then do I go back to SA since this process takes rather long?

There is no option to send via DHL or to get someone to submit for you.

Cant I show the passport on submission and make copies, then provide it when needed?

Please advise on a way forward.

Currently the embassy has processed October Permits. I applied mine on 25 October and got it yesterday dated 22-02-17 as the date of processing. My guess is that November permits should be out next week Wednesday.

@Peace I was at the embassy last week Wednesday and was told by the lady at the gate to check after 2 weeks. On the phone you get a different response. I submitted at the embassy not through VFS
