I've an upcoming early morning arrival to OR Tambo and I just had a thought (rare that those are) that SAPS office hours likely don't include being open around 4am.

Anyone know what the office hours are?

I arrived on the Qatar flight that lands at 4AM from Doha this past year.. SAPs wasn't a problem at all.. there were 2 people working in the office when we got there.. Henry's team @riflepermits.com greeted us once we got through customs and immigration and walked us through SAPs in less than 5 minutes (no one else in line in front of us)..

Ive also arrived on a 6AM flight from Frankfurt (I don't think that flight is available anymore?).. no issues then either..

I was there at 4am back in June and they were open, I think that with the amount of flights coming in with hunters that they are a 24 hour station.

But then I also had Rifle Permits.com with me

I had the inbound flight from Doha at 4AM last year and the year before. Henry and his team from @riflepermits.com was there to meet us and we were out in less then 10 minutes with two of us. The year before I did it alone and it took more than an hour and lunch money for a few SAP officers.
The return flight wasn’t nearly as easy. I wish Henry did a check in service as well. It took Qatar nearly three hours to get two rifles and a long bow checked checked in. Almost missed our flight. The Qatar staff at LAX was more squared away to receive hunters than OR Tambo.

As far as I know they are open 24 hours and have been before COVID also.
