Note:

- If applicants request for multiple entry Temporary Resident Visas (TRVs), they would need to pay the processing fee for them as well
- Officers are encouraged to enter the appropriate code in:
- The Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System (CAIPS) and,
- The Field Operations Support System (FOSS)
- Doing so would enable the authorities to track immigration status in relation to the events being conducted
