The Department of Home Affairs has extended operating times at front offices and ports of entry to ease congestion associated with the festive season.
Home Affairs minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi said operating hours at front offices will be extended by two and a half hours from 08h00 to 17h30, starting Monday (13 December) to 30 December 2021 to deal with the high demand for services.
This extension period excludes weekends, public holidays, 17 and 24 December 2021, it said.
