how was the wait at the gate to drop off the forms ? That's the main thing keeping me from going in the middle of a work day 

No waiting. You drop your forms at the security after you done your breathalyzer. 5 minutes in and out.

ok **** it, not going to waste my time further... turns out you also need a copy of your ID, not just the originals, and photo + form.

Hi all,

I am wanting to get a permit for Koeberg.

Where do I get application form for the permit, what days and times are the trials open and how much is the permit?

If anyone has any info, it would be much appreciated, thank you so much!

DOC-20240306-WA0019..pdf there is no cost, you need to take a copy of your ID and a photo. When I went they were doing the processing week days between 2pm and 4pm.

You can obtain a permit a 1 year permit...

Thanks for the info everyone. Dropped my forms off on Wednesday and it was fast and painless. Went back on Thursday to collect the permit, that took about 45mins. You hand your Id over, then wait to be called. If your photo is not on the system then you need to take one. (Helpful hint, don’t move the chair when you sit to take the photo, the guy gets really upset because his camera is set at the perfect distance to the chair). Painless process all in, staff were friendly, I didn’t move the chair! Felt a bit bad for the staff, they were getting a bit of abuse for not allowing someone to fetch another persons permit, even after they explained that you need to fetch in person due to the photo and that you need to sign. 
 

rode ride, was nice to be back there. 
 

permit is also valid for 2years which is nice.

Haven't checked into this thread for a while. Everything still ok in Koeberg? 🤘

I still have to do my own.

My family in the area ride almost every day. Loving it. Loads of tame wildlife too:

Still waiting to hear from Koeberg what the actual reason and timeline is for this closure. Surely, they don't want another petition.

Tried yesterday to get a permit and was told to come back on 4 June . So hopefully it will re-open then .
