At the end of May the Department of
Home affairs introduced new regulations that make it considerably harder for
citizens of other countries to enter South
Africa
The new regulations distinguish
between short-stay visas and long-stay permits.
One of the most significant changes
is that visa applications or extensions can now only be made at missions abroad
where biometrically captured and visas collected.
Spokesperson to the DA leader
Ntomboxolo Makoba said part of the problem is that we have no clear idea of how
many non-citizens are living in South
Africa
“We spend more money than 90 million
a year on sending illegal immigrants back to their countries. This money would
be far better spent on functional prevention than rectification Makoba added.
