MEANS OF COMMUNICATION


NOTES VERBALES
: The official written form of communication with the Department is a Note Verbale, in duplicate. These should not be sent directly from a Consulate-General/Consulate but via the Embassy / High Commission of the country concerned or International Organisation.

It is essential that separate topics be dealt with in separate Notes Verbales as different sections / desks deal with different subjects.


A reminder that all official communication with the South African Government must be via the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) only in terms of the Foreign Service Act (FSA), No 26 of 2019.
