<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I've just had a chat with an
Aussie diplomat in Pretoria and yes, the electronic system is quick and
convenient - apparently if all the background checks are in order
after you buy your ticket (presenting your passport at the same time) it gets
issued electronically. But for countries or individuals not eligible, it is an
individual application process requiring a stamp in your passport and takes
around 20 working days. The recommendation is to start the process timeously.
