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.
We wish to draw your attention to the fact that the White Paper on
Home Affairs was published by the Minister of Home Affairs Siyabonga

European nations are still raising concerns about obstacles to
President Cyril Ramaphosa’s investment drive, despite measures he
announced in his state of the nation address this week to tackle
investor frustrations and reform the visa regime.

In an important victory for the rights of asylum seekers, the

e-Visas highlighted as priority in SA President`s State Of The
Nation Address.
On February 7, SA President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered his second
State of the Nation address, making a number of key announcements.
E-Visas were named as the highest priority by the President, who
pledged the introduction of a world-class e-Visa regime. “This,
combined with enhanced destination marketing and measures to
strengthen tourism safety, will create the conditions for the
growth we envisage, and the jobs and opportunities that will
follow,” said Ramaphosa.
I recently applied for my Smart ID card through the eHomeAffairs
portal, and was surprised at how well it worked.

When considering visiting South Africa, Cape Town is a destination
that tops the to-do list for most inbound travellers. Table Mountain,
beaches, golf courses, wine estates…the Mother City, as locals call
it, and its surrounds offer the full package to visitors.
The City of Cape Town received 2.6 million international visitors
in 2018.
In 2018, 2,6 million international passengers were recorded by
Cape Town International Airport, representing a 9,6% growth from
2017, despite the drought and other challenges experienced by the
region. This growth came from long-haul carriers from outside the
Southern African region. SA
