As an International Staff Member, Applying for a renewal in South Africa for themselves

STEP ONE - CONFIRM INFORMATION NEEDED & where your embassy is

Find the closest Embassy for your home country in South Africa, contact them or look on their website to confirm all that is needed for your renewal application.

STEP two - GATHER, PRINT AND FILL OUT ALL PAPERWORK

Often you will need two color passport photos - the most affordable way is to download this app to take the photo for free and print at a local print shop. Again your Embassy may have specific requirements for this photo, so make sure to consult their website.

Step three - Gather Money Needed for Passport Application

You will need to set aside money to pay for your passport - consult the Embassy website for specifics. You also may need to request that your passport application be expedited which can cost extra.

STEP four - GO TO YOUR EMBASSY to submit application

First confirm if you need to make an appointment and any protocols they may have as far as what you can / cannot bring with you to the Embassy

STEP five - TRACK YOUR APPLICATION

Each Embassy will have different ways to keep you updated, but you are responsible for keeping up to date with the latest for your application

STEP six - OUTCOME RECEIVED!

Make sure to sign your new passport!
