 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.
Are you looking to make a career move in 2022? Why not consider a career in the UK under the Skilled Worker visa route.
The Skilled Worker Immigration Route is one of the most popular immigration routes for South Africans coming to the UK. There are, however, many misconceptions about how the route works in practice. The consultants at Sa Migration have subsequently compiled some answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions on the Skilled Worker Visa Route.
Do I first need to secure employment before I can apply for the Skilled Worker Visa?
Today, the Nationality and Borders Bill will return to the House of Commons, where MPs will vote yes or no on amendments added in the House of Lords.
One of these amendments was tabled by me and supported by peers across the Lords. If passed, it will give people seeking asylum the right to work after they have waited six months or more for a decision on their claim.
It’s a common-sense change. It would be a boost for the Treasury, recruiters and not least asylum seekers themselves, who often wait years for a decision on their claim while battling poverty, isolation and mental ill health.
South Africa has illusions of grandeur about being a modern, competitive country. A day or two or three in a queue at a Home Affairs office in Johannesburg should quickly (well, slowly) disabuse you of that notion. This is a story written while waiting in one of those lines.
inter is coming. The mornings are darker and colder. Nonetheless, by the time you arrive at Home Affairs at 7am, the queue is already a hundred people long. You can see on their faces that they are in for a long day. Grim determination.
Instead of being at the heart of a functioning state, Home Affairs has been a joke, for a very long time. The consequences cannot be more serious, writes Helena Wasserman.
Here’s a South African story (privileged edition).
My son turned 16 and we decided to apply for an ID and passport.
Trying to avoid the long queues at Home Affairs in Cape Town, we travelled an hour to a nearby town to apply for his documents there.
With the lifting of the national state of disaster, the Department of Home Affairs says it will now reopen in-person services for refugees.
Since 26 March 2020 there has been no way for refugees to apply for asylum.
after closing in-person services due to the Covid pandemic, the Department of Home Affairs has announced it is reopening its Refugee Reception Offices.
Many tourists have been thrown into the deep end as Home Affairs implement South African visa changes overnight.
I’m sure by now many of you have read or heard about the recent rules that have come into effect for the SA Visa. After doing some research I decided to gather some information together to try and put your minds at ease and make sure you are aware of how to avoid being declared an “undesirable†person.
Documents found included more than 95 South African ID books, birth certificates and passports.
A 47-year-old Zimbabwean man was arrested after police found a fully functioning “department of home affairs†in his flat in Hillbrow, Johannesburg. SA
