Re: South African passport renewal

Thank you CR001

Was looking at my options. As a duel citizen I cannot enter SA with my British passport. Planning on travelling in July. Looks like I may have to request an emergency certificate. (unexpected due to my dad just being diagnosed with cancer and only months to live)

South African passport renewal

Hello I applied for a renewal of my SA passport on the 25/10/21. Does anyone have experience of how long it would take to receive?
If anyone has any actual experience of receiving this in 3/4 months?


Thank you

She’s obviously overstayed and illegal. Is there anyway where she can get a new visa or help regarding this. They haven’t been anywhere as...

Documents for Naturalisation as spouse no NCRS app available

Re: Premium Service Centre Booking Problems!

Thanks for your reply. I'm concerned as all the centers have blocked out August now and only appointments for September. My plan is to keep trying and then post if nothing comes up. I will call the register office and ask about the certified copy. We pay so much for this terrible service.

Re: SET (M) Absent from UK question

I'm still uncertain on the document to show.
Full 5 year documents or 2.5yrs?
Bank statements, should I show just 6 months or 6 months and random ones for 2.5yrs?
Is my daughters birth certificate classed as a joint name document as it has both our names?

SET (M) Absent from UK question

Hi,
On the Set (M) form (5 year) spouse route there is a question on absence from the UK.
