Finally with 3 days to spare before our ITA expires UPS came to collect it today.

Hopefully everything is okay and what they want. Our blood retests after Xmas were still slightly raised so it is possible that NZIS may ask for another set one of these days, we are holding thumbs that they don’t as expenses are building up at a rate of knots. At present we are just under R19 000, including the ITA fee. We haven’t even worked in petrol or drinks, etc., during all our travels. So I would put our emigration expenses at over R20 000 so far taking into account all the trips to Pretoria & Rosebank, etc.

Luckily this should be the worst of the expenses. The big ones left before we can move are the possible follow up medical tests, courier of original docs back to SA (about R600) and the Migrant Levy (about R4500 for the three of us)

I have added a pic of our completed ITA below to give you an idea of the amount of documentation required by NZIS.
