South Africa is reworking its visa regime in a bid to draw critical skills to the country. As part of this, the Department of Home Affairs is finalising new visa types to be implemented in June of this year including exploring new visa categories, including start-up visas and remote working visas. The goal is for these visas to further improve the country’s economic growth and boost its tourism profile.
In addition, the DHA is also continuing to roll out an an e-Visa system, which will use technology to make it easy and secure to enter and depart South Africa.
