 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 Home Affairs has published its critical skills list for South Africa, outlining the skills which are in short supply in the country.
The list, which was last updated in 2014, will likely be welcomed with open arms by corporations across South Africa which may now fulfil the country’s objective of luring foreign professionals, says Moeketsi Seboko, immigration manager at Xpatweb.
Hospitality blitz: departments of labour, home affairs and SAPS announce
Western Cape mega blitz
A Saudi Arabian man who fell in love with an Ottery woman says Home Affairs has made his life a living hell after they declined his spousal visa three times.
Father of two, Nadir Abdul Majeed, 30, says despite being married for three years and a university graduate, he is not allowed to work or live in South Africa.
Nadir says he first came to Cape Town in 2015 on a student visa as he attended Stellenbosch University.
While doing his B.Com degree, he met his wife, who asked not to be named.
The minister said he and Makhode were keeping a close eye on all cases of alleged fraud, corruption and maladministration.
A full-scale operation targeting senior officials suspected of corruption and gross negligence costing taxpayers millions of rands is under way at the home affairs department.
This was confirmed to City Press by Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi in an interview following the recent suspension of three senior officials accused of failing to execute court orders, resulting in three warrants of arrest being issued to Motsoaledi and his director-general, Livhuwani Makhode.
The UNHCR and Home Affairs have announced a US$9.6 million asylum seeker backlog project
On Monday, The Department of Home Affairs, the Refugee Appeals Authority and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) launched a US$9.6 million asylum seeker backlog project.
The UNHCR said: “Problems in the asylum system led to some claims being stuck for over a decade waiting to be heard. Of the 266,694 refugees and asylum-seekers in South Africa, two-thirds of them do not have access to the full rights and privileges of refugee status.â€
In a previous statement the UNHCR said: “The project will eliminate the backlog over the next four years, and strengthen the system to ensure another one does not form. During the time frame, the appeals of 153,391 people will be heard.â€
An Australian man who says he was forced to hand over his phone to Border Force officers at the airport after returning to Sydney has labelled the experience as “traumaticâ€.
James and Mandy had returned to Sydney airport from a holiday in Fiji when James (who does not want to use his surname) says they were intercepted by a Border Force officer who asked the pair - who are Australian citizens - to step aside.
Immigration is not going to happen overnight. In fact, there is a common misconception that in a couple of weeks, one can pack up all their stuff and head out the door to a better life.
Immigration takes months â€` and more often than not â€` years to achieve. Just the documentation collection stage alone can take a few months due to the number of documents required to even be considered for this type application. And that’s all assuming that you have the correct, up to date document list for all the necessary pieces of information requested by a foreign government. SA
