Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palaceboy1 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 We applied through an agent and information from IMMI is routed to them first , so no idea if they send receipts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receipt can be taken from netbank. Also, they got their visa the very next morning. Have you already been asked for the 2nd VAC payment?

My understanding is that no one is being asked for the 2nd instalment as theIr visas are not being issued in the current pandemic. Therefore, people are getting to the end and then it’s all frozen until they start releasing visas again. Only then will they take people’s 2nd instalment. Makes sense, they may not grant visas for the next 12 months so unlikely to take money off people now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your case is not comparable to after lockdown situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours was probably about the last payment date prior to it all stopping because of lockdown. I’m pretty sure from about that date, visa grants were frozen and the payments were stopped being requested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Qatar they go through Doha and are still flying I personally won’t fly Emirates although I do like them because you have to use a train to get to another terminal for your connecting flights. As a lone traveller I find it very stressful Edited June 2, 2020 by LindaH27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll clear everyone who paid the 2nd vac just before the covid situation came up and whilst they'll continue processing applications, they'll put a pause on the finalizing steps for rest of the year.

I think Singapore will open for through traffic soon. Fingers crossed for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
