DO NOT certify your photocopies and make sure your photos don't show too much neck/chest. I had to rush and get new photos done because of this 😠

After that, you're chased outside and told to fill in your forms. There are example forms to copy from that are pasted outside and if you make a mistake, you have to join the loooong queue again and buy another form for R100.

After that, you join another queue to get your fingerprints done. When you're done there, you go back inside to join the final queue to get all your documents stamped and signed. It's a lot guys. It's a lot.

PS:
Bring an extra R60 in case you need to redo your photos and an extra R100 in case you make a mistake an have to buy another form.
Eat a proper breakfast coz they don't allow food inside.
Use the loo at Eastgate mall.
If you're white, you get to jump the queues. 🙃
