 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.
Is there a special route for high net worth individuals or investors?
South Africa Sa Migration International
With respect to applications for temporary residence (work and
visitors’ visas), there are currently no special routes for high net
worth individuals or investors involving reduced lead times.
However, individuals or investors intending to permanently reside in
South Africa may investigate applying under the minimum net worth
category subject to meeting a prescribed minimum net worth (currently
12 million rand) and upon payment of an application fee of 120,000
rand.
Every child needs to go to school, Minister of Home Affairs Aaron
Motsoaledi has said.
He said when he asked the Department of Basic Education why
immigrant children were barred from school, he was told the
department was scared of home affairs inspectors.
`That can`t happen in any modern democracy. I told them home
affairs inspectors must not visit any schools unless there is a
crime committed that needs home affairs. It`s more dangerous to
have a child who is not in school.`
About 2,000 Angolan former refugees, many of whom have lived in
South Africa for decades, may have to leave at the end of 2021.
According to the Scalabrini Centre, which has been fighting on
behalf of the Angolans, the 2,000 former refugees have lived in
South Africa for an average of 20 years.
The year 2021 is the deadline for the end of the Angolan Special
Permit - a temporary permit issued to Angolans whose refugee
status ceased in 2013. Now, an Angolan committee has written to
Home Affairs in a bid to clarify what will happen to them when the
deadline comes in two years.
REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Major News and hope : We are one of the few organisations getting
Emptions & waivers approved !!!!
Apply Now for Temporary and Permanent Residence
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.
Foreign nationals with South African or permanent resident spouses
do not have to leave the country to apply for spousal visas.
The Constitutional Court handed down a judgment at the end of June
that has important consequences for immigrants. A majority of the
judges ruled that foreign spouses of South African citizens and
permanent residents may apply for a spousal visa within South
Africa and do not have to apply for such a visa overseas.
Minister of Home Affairs Aaron Motsoaledi has released new statistics
outlining the number of people that have been denied a visa to South
Africa.
Chantel* was only 15 years old when she hopped the Eswatini-South
African border in early 2007. She says she lived her whole life in an
orphanage in Manzini, never knew her biological parents and never saw
her birth certificate.
Abuse was rife. “The conditions were unbearable.
The Department of Home Affairs is usually rejecting visa cases on a
regular basis without giving any reason for it. The South African
Court handed down an interesting judgement last week, which will
hopefully if embraced by home affairs lead to clarity on many of the
rejections that don’t make sense or one can see no thought was given
to it . SA
