Hello dmaloba,


Have you tried to check with the concerned department for an update on the visa situation?


Let's hope for someone who has done it before to shed some light on the time it takes to be issued.


All the best,

Would suggest you find out from people who have undergone the process or if you are already in S.A. do contact the Department for follow up/updates re-pending application.

All the best.
