 SA Migration
International was created out of the need for a
specialist organization to assist people wishing to immigrate,
volunteer, work, bring family, study or open businesses in South
Africa.
• The department of tourism said the first e-visas to South
Africa will be issued in New Zealand in April.
• The new visas will allow prospective visitors to apply for
a visa online, and print visas at home.
• The Western Cape investment agency said they have already
seen New Zealand bookings increase by 7%, and is expecting that
number to rise.
Tenders are due to go out soon for the R7bn (€441m) expansion of Cape
Town International Airport, with construction scheduled to start in
February next year and completion due in 2025, according to GM, Deon
Cloete.
Brownies & Downies, a coffee shop in Cape Town staffed by people
with Down syndrome, may have to close its doors after home affairs
banned its owner from SA.
Wendy Schultz, a Dutch social worker, started the restaurant-cum-
social benefit organisation in Long Street more than two years ago
and has since then been locked in a struggle with the department
to get her visa renewed.
South Africa is currently on the brink of immigration reform. The
country’s sixth national elections will be held on 8 May 2019 â€` a
watershed moment following the resignation of President Jacob Zuma on
14 February 2018. During the decade of Zuma’s presidency, South
Africa’s borders closed and our country was captured by a cabal of
conspirators, including Zuma and the Indian Gupta brothers.
For every skilled professional coming to South Africa, eight are leaving.
This was the major finding of an Enterprise Observatory of South
Africa (EOSA) report released in January.
The researchers found that while a large number of white professionals
were making the jump, in recent years, the annual number of black
professionals leaving South Africa exceeds the tally of professional
white emigrants.
The `hype` created about the changes to the South African Income Tax
Act relating to tax exemption of employment income earned abroad, is
clouding its fairness - according to Hilary Dudley, managing director
of Citadel Fiduciary.
The Constitutional Court in November last year handed down a
judgement in the Ahmed matter as well as a Court Order opening the
door for Asylum Seekers and Refugees to apply to change their status
to that of a mainstream Visa under The Immigration Act.
Life will get much easier for families wanting to visit South
Africa, after Home Affairs confirmed it would lift some birth
certificate requirements.
It’s taken four months for the government to fully establish
clarity on this situation, but better late than never hey? The
requirement for foreign minors to produce a birth certificate upon
arrival in South Africa is set to be dropped, according to an
official government publication. SA
