Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction?

The form for the SA fishing permit is it possible to get it on line?

My first destination - where I plan to visit a post office and pay for the permit - is Newcastle. And it is inland and I worry that they do not have the proper form.

Getting the proper form is a bit of a hit and miss affair Mike. They are not available online. You might need to try a few Post Offices before you find one that has the forms. Govt. departments in this country are... well, hit and miss!

Yeah Reefz is right... Your best bet is to try a post office when you are at the coast.

REEFMAN · « **Reply #64 on:** September 27, 2016, 08:43:09 AM »

All Post Offices are supposed to have the Angling permits, so I would try first in Newcastle, you might get lucky.

Thanks guys!

I already had my first bouts with SA govt departments and lets call it an....interesting and ....different experience

[/size]I´ll give it a shoot in Newcastle if it does not work I will try in St Lucia. [size=78%]

Mike when do you land in Johannesburg and how long will you have after landing before you depart for your first destination?

Perhaps I can organize you a licence and hand it over when you arrive. That way you don't spend your holiday testing out our high (in)efficient post offices

Thank You for the kind offer!

But we will land JNB 07:05 and I plan on getting into the rental car and head for Newcastle immediately.

Does the permit have to be original . if I had a scanned one , I could fill it out and go to the post office in Newcastle, pay and be done.

Unfortunately the post office is run by a bunch of bureaucrats and depending on which way the morning coffee was stirred you may or may not need an original.

Which company are you renting your vehicle from? Depending on the company I might just be able to have it waiting at the front desk for you when you arrive

If not I will email you a copy of the form to complete

Half-Pint · « **Reply #70 on:** September 27, 2016, 01:39:50 PM »

ANother option would be for us to courier the form to your first nights accommodation that way it will also be there ready and waiting for you to arrive

Brad, it's not going to work. They will ask for ID. Just renewed mine and ID was compulsory.

Reefz our messenger is in the post office on a daily basis and is very friendly with the staff, generally speaking they are not too big on ID for our requests seeing as we are there so often. Lets see what happns

Post office at st lucia has stacks of forms. Renewed my permit there last week, was not asked to produce id. Al that is needed for foreigners is passport number. I can arrange a permit for you, and you can collect at Maveri k charters.
Let me know

It would be great if You could arrange a permit that I could pick up at Maverick Charter (You know I am booked to go out with You?)

I would pick it up asa I reach St Lucia.

And nice fish!!! The largest I have caught i weeks is a 4 kg pike

PS If You need my passport ID let me know and I´ll contact You private (You already have my email)
