Well if you had read through the online application there is a whats app number to call for information and also an email address [email protected].
Perhaps you should email them !!!!!!

I have no problems opening the link. Must be your tablet. Perhaps go to an internet cafe and try a computer there.

Hi Mona,
From what I'm seeing on other blogs, it will take at least 1 week but you, most likely, will need to end up calling them after you have applied as it seems that the process "seems to move faster" after they have been called.
FYI: According to eCitizen, "approval" means that your visa has been approved but not issued yet.
