We also managed to get the visa in our son's temp passport valid for a year. My husband managed to do it quite quickly and easily said it only took about an hour. Also just to let you know we received the permanent passport after about 2 months, much quicker than we expected!

We had the same issue with my little girl, they do put it in the temporary passport but they made the validity of the visa only for 1 year because the passport was only valid for 1 year, when she received the permanent one we just went to renew the visa for the same period as ours. We even travelled to South-Africa and back with the temporary passport with the visa no problem. When she received the permanent passport we travelled with both until it was time for the new visa

I had my residents visa put in my temporary SA passport earlier this year. There was some resistance to do it from the ladies working in the Ladies Dept at the visa dept. but this was resolved by going to the supervisor.

Hi Anyone know if it is possible to get a residence visa for a newborn, stamped in a temp passport. Both Dubai and AD residency dept say no, while the SA embassy says definately yes. Just to add, the permament passport can take anything from 4 - 6 months to get here. T
