Seniors & all,
I had my ECAS 3rd line updated as "Medicals Received on 5th Dec" - kindly update the sheet.
I have some kind of situation here... I am applying from South Africa but I will go on a 5 weeks holidays outside South Africa from 20 Dec to 26 Jan..
What if my VO asks for the passports now?? How many days I have to submit the passports? What other documents I have to prepare before they ask for the passport? (in order not to lose more time) Refer to the PPR template below for the list of things. You will be provided 30 days to submit the Passports
The other problem is I travel a lot internationally, as a part of my job - how long will it take from date of passport receipt to return?? This changes from VO to VO. I guess 10 -15 days
Thanks for help, good luck to all!
Below is the PPR Template
