South Africa permits to now be issued in Bulawayo too

PEOPLE from Matabeleland seeking South African work and study permits can now process their papers in Bulawayo as the Embassy of South Africa has opened offices locally.

The opening of the offices has been welcomed by prospective scholars and job seekers.

Previously, the permit seekers were forced to travel to Harare for the process.

The new offices are located along Samuel Parirenyatwa Street between 13th and 14 Avenue and they opened doors for the public on December, 1.

The Embassy of South Africa partnered VFS Global for the processing of the visa and VFS Global posted the information on their website http://www.vfsglobal.com/SouthAfrica/Zimbabwe/news.html.

“VFS Global and the Embassy of South Africa in Zimbabwe announce the official launch of the South Africa Visa Application Centres in Harare and Bulawayo,” reads information on company’s website.

The Embassy of South Africa had its offices in the Harare where applications are processed but it subcontracted VFS Global to collect applications in both Harare and Bulawayo. Nqobile Tshili, Chronicle
