Delgado Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Carry both passports? One valid the other with the relevant visa. I do it all the time. If you want a quick easy no queing approach pm me. It costs more but is worth every cent.
Chavez Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 went to malmesbury and passport and id took less than a month to get +1...waited in the 'queue' for less than 5 mins to do fingerprints + fill in the forms Awesome service Less than a month later I got an sms stating my ID and Passport where ready for collection
mark ellis Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 only ever been asked once for the letter, I had it issued in 1999, it expired in 2001, was asked for it last year when coming back from usa, showed the idiot, he looked, smiled and said thank you sir have a good holiday.....showing him my sa passport and arriving bacvk in sa? guess it depends who you get at customs, I have a mate who was sent back to Angola because he never had his yellow fever card, got there and was send back to SA and let in!
Delgado Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Misunderstood, legally two South African Passports.as long as only one is valid the other the expired one with your visas.
I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I have british and SA, I have to travel with a letter from the SA HC stating I have permission to do so, no letter and I am eligable for a 20K fine! stupid if you ask me, the letter cost about 1 grand! HUH??? confused now... I have a SA Passport and an Italian Passport. So why on earth do I need this letter anyway? I am immigrating in July and have not heard about needing a letter from the High Commission? Sorry for the ignorance, but the last thing I need is hassels getting out. Your advice would really be appreciated.

AFAIK she never needed a letter, and they go skiing in Italy every year
Stray Cat Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I have an SA and Irish passport and haven't had any problems travelling with both. I leave SA and arrive back with the SA one and arrive at my destination, and leave, on the Irish.... assuming it's an EU country. I haven't had any letter AH ****!!! How do I find out about this letter? I am flying back to SA on Friday and have 2 passports as well! Dont really feel like fighting with customs regarding passports or paying a 20k fine
