I have about 20 days before my hunt and just got a request for SAPS 86 form.

I'd love some insight and links for filling it out .. Thanks K
 
I think that you are referring to the South Africa Firearms Permit Application Form (SAPS 520 Form). You can find the information that you are looking for at: Importation or Transiting Procedures Through Countries with Weapons & Ammunition: https://www.africahunting.com/threa...ough-countries-with-weapons-ammunition.14376/. Once there scroll down to the following section: South Africa Weapon / Ammunition Transiting Procedures.

Welcome to AH kdiver!

The llinks that IvW posted above are spot on. If you need further assistance I recocommend contacting Henry @riflepermits.com. He is the SA rifle import guru and will get it all sorted for you.

Have fun!

I just sent my third request in two weeks for pricing information on their services. No reply. Hopefully third time is the charm.
 
Just e mailed my SAPS 520 and additional documents to Mr X for my pre approval on Friday morning...Mr X emailed me this morning.....got the pre approval and ready for my arrival in June....lets see...72 hours from my email to his confirmation...what took so long. Fantastic service and a great guy to deal with...my fourth time and never a problem...he is fast track thru the system and thru the airline ticketing process

Thanks for getting back to me. Not sure what was going on there, but as you know we have it all sorted out now. I like the 'example' form you have, makes filling out the 'real' form much easier. As I noted in my last email, I will have the paper work complete and off to you later today. Just waiting for a change of itinerary confirmation that Lori at Travel Express was so kindly able to pull off for me. Let's me stay in SA for an extra three days!
Thanks for your patience.
 
I owe Henry at Rifle Permits an apology. I had made a couple of inquiries regards their services and did not see a reply come back, and made comment to that effect on this post. Turns out, he had replied, but the reply had ended up in the Junk box with various offers from Africa to send me huge sums of money if I would send my banking info, gorgeous ladies I have never met professing their undying love etc.
Since actually making contact, things have proceeded at a blistering pace, I doubt that they could have gone better or faster if we were in the same room.
I hope this sets the record straight. I have put them up there on the top shelf as a business, keeping Travel Express company.
 
I think they made a mistake in requesting the SAPS 86 form .. I asked again if I needed it and they said no .. LOL

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
