12.01.2022 Dear Fellow South Africans The Australian Authorities approved a SAA flight from Perth to Johannesburg. ... The flight will take place next week on a date that will very soon be confirmed with you, but our expectation is 29 or 30 April 2020. In the meantime you can immediately start securing your ticket. Attached the communication from SAA regarding the process to be followed. PLEASE START IMMEDIATELY. Departure from Perth, Western Australia: See the Quarantine (Closing the Border) Directions, but this remains at the discretion of WA Police and time limits apply. In order to seek an exemption, passengers need to complete the Request for Approval as an Exempt Traveller form (this can be done at the airport, but can be completed in advance). On arrival into Perth, they will need to provide the assessing WA Police Inspector with evidence of their onwards international travel. The exemption application form can also be emailed to WA Police prior to travel: [email protected]. Passengers will then be given a quarantine direction to depart WA on their scheduled flight. If outbound international flight is on the same day as a passenger’s arrival into Perth, they will likely be directed to stay at the airport until departure (including travelling directly from the domestic to international terminal by the most direct route and maintaining social distancing). If transit time is more than 12 hours (with some discretion), passengers may be given a direction to self-isolate at a hotel before proceeding directly back to the international airport for their planned departure. It is possible to enter Western Australia by road after receiving permission. Details can be found on the Western Australian Government website listed above. If you are requesting entry on compassionate grounds or otherwise seeking approval to enter WA, you must not enter WA until you have received approval from WA Police via email. Please note submitting the form and supporting documentation does not constitute approval. You must carry your exemption form and proof of its submission when travelling. You may be asked to produce this documentation at a check point or by WA Police patrolling the area. Regards
