A number years ago I went to my agent to do a visa run for my edu visa. I had 2 blank pages left so never thought anything of it, however he said I needed a minimum of 3 to do the run. I only had a few days left and my embassy said a new passport would take weeks. Immigration said they would allow me 11 days over and then I would have to turn myself in. I applied for a new passport and contacted every type of officials details I could find to get it sped up and luckily it arrived in time but I was in extreme panic mode.

No it doesn't require an appointment. Stop spreading false informational and fear mongering.

Edit. Just looked at the screenshot above and it clearly states no appointment required.

stop putting out false information before fact checking first. People can sometimes be in difficult situations regarding visas and this doesn't help.

@Gregor *********

You seem to be very sure an appointment is required as you've mentioned it twice now. Can you kindly show evidence that an appointment is required as I don't believe it is, since I will be applying for a SETV in PP and I was previously trying to gather feedback on the process.

Thanks I had a look at that, just wondering if there were any surprises or anything specific that I needed to know about
