Hi Emma
I am checking this and will get back to you next week. At this stage, I envisage it will be an
“official visit”, but will let you know. Once the form is filled out, I can come and collect it, and
MFAT can take it down to the Consulate to process. I am pretty sure there will be no visa fee,
given the nature of the visit. The turnaround is very quick – at most 3 or so days, but it can be
1982
quicker.
Act 
Kind regards
Colin
