South African High Commission London
Feb 6th, 2007 at 4:35pm
 
Does anyone know please of a Geographical telephone number to contact the department dealing with Work Visas at the South African High Commission in London. I have spoken to 3 people this morning and all, including the usual automated replies, referred me to the Premium Rate £1 per minute number 09065 540 798 for Visa services (FOREIGN CITIZENS)

No one from the Commission will answer emails and I resent paying £1 per minute just to make an appointment for my son to visit the South African High Commission to obtain a Work Visa.

A Public service, I don't think so!!

I don't think you will have much joy with this. It seems to be a very common occurrence now for various embassies. If you want a visa, they are going to make you pay for it!

It is also not just in the UK that this is done. I had reason to contact the US embassy in Canberra recently, and - you guessed it - a premium number! You even have to pay to make a web-based appointment to see them! I guess it sorts those who really want a visa from the 'tyre kickers'!

Best of luck in your search!    Smiley

and the UK is no exception.  This from the British Embassy in the USA:

For all telephone enquiries about visas to the UK or Overseas Territories, please call 1-900 990 8472. This is a premium rate service handled by our outsource partner Abtran. All calls are charged at the rate of $2.49 per minute.

If you have difficulties reaching this number and wish to pay by credit card, please call 1-800 935 9993. Calls also cost $2.49 per minute.
