Collecting her passport was less than 5 min after DHL opened.bgh wrote:Just my experience.
Did my visa renewal via mail in December 2021 no hassel. Took about 3 weeks (12 working days) for the whole process
Wife also did the same with my daughter, but only she was successful. Daughter needed an interview so they returned her documents.
Daughters interview was Aug 10th and they were in and out in 15 min.
Received the DHL notification to collect her passport monday night which was impressive.
Just hope the collection is easy...

With the current delay it makes no sense to apply for a transit visa as it's taking the same length of time as a tourist visa or longer to process. If you have an expired tourist visa just renew it, you will get through faster.

I saw on the website it says something like two or three days to get an appointment for the transit visa.
