Overstay in South Africa
I overstayed my visa permit in 2012 and upon leaving the Republic of South Africa, I was not issued or given the form with which to pay the necessary administrative fine. How do I pay this fine, where do I pay the fine and how much would I have to pay? Please advise.
Best Answer
They may not have levied a fine. To find out, you can try several alternatives...
- Apply for a visa
- Make a personal data access to the South African government
- Instruct a South African solicitor to check it for you
All of these will work given enough time. If you are sure a fine was levied, then you can ask for them to send you the payment details. You can make that request through the consulate at the cognizant South African embassy.
