Minister of Home Affairs Malusi Gigaba has today postponed the new visa regulations for children traveling outside of the country.
The regulation which has been
postponed until the 1st
of June 2015 required children traveling in and out of South
Africa
Minister Gigaba said the
postponement will greatly assist travelers and the sector as a whole.
Minister Gigaba said between now and
the implementation date of the regulation, citizens who apply for passports in
respect of minors will be encouraged by front line officials to apply for
Unabridged Birth Certificates for such minors.
Gigaba said we encourage you to anticipate further regulatory changes from the Department of Home Affairs, in particular around the Births and Deaths Registration Act.
“We envision amending the act to implement more stringent processes for the late registration of births, which we intend to end after December 2015 Gigaba added.
