SAPS 520 FORM

[kdiver58]

I noticed the new SAPS 520 is 10 pages instead of 8 now. Anything I need to look for? I have my old 520 forms from the last 2 years to go from.

Dear Sir

The one you have is just a different format, still 8 pages, you can download the 8 page one from our website at www.riflepermits.com.

Is a SAPS 520 form needed if you fly THROUGH South Africa - transit - on to another country like Zim? Basically have a 3 hour layover in joberg and not getting bags, Qatar AL from Doha presumably transfers bags/firearms to next flight. Feedback welcome!

I’m not sure that you can check a firearm through from the US to Zim. I could be wrong. I always lay over.

Yes it is needed. Page 2 of SAPS 520 at the top of the page you have to check the type of permit. In this case it would be (In-transit). When I went through with 3 hour layover in October they did not have my guns brought out to check them. But they reviewed my SAPS 520. Upon return they checked guns and permits. I used Riflepermits.com to manage this process.
