[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 891981, member: 746"] I am also a foreigner living in SA and have Permanent Residence since 1961 (plus an ID number). When I renewed my UK passport, I needed to register with VFS Visa on-line to apply for a sticker to put in the passport with the PR number on it. The cost was R1550 and I was summonsed to an interview. The address given was 1 Heerengraght (the old Trust Bank building). When I got there, there was a chain on the door and the shipping co next door said they had moved 10 months previously and that at least 20 people a day came looking for them You cannot phone them, so it was log on to the website and leave a message. 10 days later this lady phones me and asks what is wrong? I tell her and she gives me an address in Pretoria. I ask her about Cape Town, but she is nonplussed. So I did not bother. I have this letter written by Home Affairs I received in 1992 and it is still valid and lets me in and out of the country. The passport control tell me each time to apply for the sticker The UK passport renewal requires a 24 page form and contains such questions as: Are you currently a member of a terrorist organisation? But it is 10 days from start to finish and TNT Couriers deliver it to the door [/QUOTE]
