The decision means that long term visa or waiver applicants
are permitted to legally remain in the country until 31 December 2023, pending
the finalisation of their applications. Those that are travelling on passports
issued by countries that are not visa exempted are required to apply for a
visitor’s visa to return to South Africa until their applications have been
finalised.
This concession is only for applicants who have submitted an
application via visa facilitation centres before or on 31 March 2023.
All visitors on short term visas whose validity was issued
for less than 90 days are excluded from the concession, and are required to
depart before or on the date of expiry of the validity period of their visas,
the home affairs statement said.
