Please note that we are the Official Representative in South Africa for the Pilgrims Office in Santiago to issue Pilgrims Passports. We are also endorsed by the Spanish Consulate and offer Visa Letters to motivate for Schengen Visas. It has recently come to our attention that fraudulent copies of our passports are being sold as official documents. Our documents are copyrighted.

Pilgrim Documentation

We are experiencing difficulties with the processing of the required documentation due to last minute requests for the Visa and Credential Applications. As mentioned before, we need at least 3 weeks for processing, and the visa must be applied for at least 3 weeks prior to your flight.

There are new rules from the Consulate regarding the Schengen Visa Letter:

• Visa letters must be an original document (no more emails with pdfs)
• Documents must be printed on the CSJ special paper
• We are not allowed to send emails with pdf documents as these are not accepted for Visa Applications anymore.
• Visa Letters may not be older than 3 months
• We are thus holding back on issuing Visa Letters that are in advance of the 3 months stipulated dates for travel.

There have been issues with the Post Office prior to and during the postal strikes. A number of our packages have been lost, and we have had to resend these packages which has cost the Confraternity time and money. We have thus decided to do away with sending items via the Post Office and will only work with Postnet, Collections via appointment or our Courier service.
