ASYLUM SEEKERS PERMIT EXPIRED during LOCKDOWN – Don’t know what to do ?

Do you have a Zimbabwean ZEP Permit - Need to Change ?

Check all information directly with VFS / DHA or a registered immigration practitioner or immigration lawyer this circulating in your community , it is not factually correct , this is for ZEP holders . If you are unskilled Department of Labour will definitely not grant a waiver , get professional advice from a registered immigration practitioner

Good evening dear members. We now have Immigration Directive 12 of 2021. I would like to encourage all of you without or with professional qualifications etc who would want to apply for a General Work permit later to apply for a Waiver within the next 9 days and Department of Home Affairs have said they will process your waivers applications before 31 March 2022. If your waiver applications is successful and granted, you will be able to apply for a General Work Permit without a need to have documentations required like certificates, Saqa documentation, police clearance, newspaper adverts etc. They will only then need your employers letter, valid passport and covid vaccination certificate to apply for the General Work Permit when your waiver applications is successful.

What is a Waiver?

It is an application made in South Africa and adjudicated by the Department of Home Affairs. In order to apply for a waiver the applicant must be in possession of a valid refugee or immigration status (eg a valid ZEP Permit and not an expired one).
The minister yesterday issues Directive 12 of 2021 and on (a) he said he will need until 31 March 2022 to make outcomes for all Waivers applied for. And anyone who doesn't have a Waiver or General Work Permit Application by 1 April 2022 will be described as "undesirable" and will have to to 31 December 2022 to pack bags and kids and return to Zimbabwe without being formally charged at the border or legal port of exit to avoid being deported

Work Challenges for Accompanying relationships in South Africa Legal and Practical Issues

Use a registered Immigration Consultancy / Practitioner it is absolutely Vital .
Whoever said that immigration is a piece of cake clearly paid an arm and a leg for the slice. The immigration process is incredibly case specific to the point that if it is not handled properly, it can immediately end with a negative outcome.
Today, we discuss the reasons why you, as a person or as an organisation, should make use of an immigration consultancy for all the nitty gritty details that the immigration process has to offer.
Immigration is not going to happen overnight. In fact, there is a common misconception that in a couple of weeks, one can pack up all their stuff and head out the door to a better life.
Immigration takes months – and more often than not – years to achieve. Just the documentation collection stage alone can take a few months due to the number of documents required to even be considered for this type application. And that’s all assuming that you have the correct, up to date document list for all the necessary pieces of information requested by a foreign government.
Before one takes on the task of dusting off their old certificates and papers, one will first have to determine whether or not they are even eligible for immigration. With differences in tertiary education levels from country to country, correct working experience and language proficiency to name a few, you want to know where you stand prior to actually starting an application. Where one can spend a large amount of money in Portugal or Malta to obtain a permanent residence status, a country like Australia or Canada could have a completely different (and more accessible) process for obtaining permanent residence.
It's important to have yourself assessed before you even look at spending money, as you may very well qualify for a route that you hadn't even thought of. This is where immigration consultancies come into play. The consultancy will review your specifics (work experience, education, age, marital status, etc.) and then determine where your best options lie.
Scam artists and frauds have plagued the Immigration Industry for decades and in the modern era this has not changed so one must ensure that whoever they are talking to is a credible and confirmed source.
No matter how serious a query may or may not be regarding immigration, rather talk to a certified and legitimate consultancy. Immigration is no walk in the park, with most interest being based on goals for personal growth or for a household the last thing anyone wants is to end up with a negative outcome and waste of resources.
We have around 518 Google Reviews with a 4,7 rating meaning we have a 94 % positive rating with our satisfied clients .

Changing from a tourist visa to volunteer visa onshore is possible

We explain in terms of the Immigration act 2002 South africa that changing from a tourist visa section 11 (1) tourist visa to Section 11 (1 (b ) (ii) Volunteer visa is permissible under the immigration act as it is a change of conditions . There is a legal precedent and we expand on this below .

In South Africa, the Immigration Act 2002 (as amended) governs immigration matters.
Change of Conditions vs. Change of Status
Section 10 of the Immigration Act 2002 distinguishes between a change of conditions and a change of status:
• Change of Conditions: Section 10(2)(b) allows for the renewal or extension of a visa, or the change of conditions attached to a visa.
• Change of Status: Section 10(2)(a) requires a new application for a different visa category.
Tourist Visa (Section 11(1)) to Volunteer Visa (Section 11(1)(b)(ii))
In this specific scenario, changing from a tourist visa (Section 11(1)) to a volunteer visa (Section 11(1)(b)(ii)) is considered a change of conditions.

Legal Precedent:

The court case that supports this interpretation is:
In this case, the Western Cape High Court held that:
"...where an applicant seeks to change the purpose or conditions of their stay, but remains within the same category of visa, such application constitutes a change of conditions and not a change of status."
This ruling implies that changing from a tourist visa to a volunteer visa, which falls under the same category (Section 11(1)), constitutes a change of conditions.

Supporting Legislation:
Section 10(2)(b) of the Immigration Act 2002 supports this interpretation:
"(2) A foreigner who has entered the Republic in terms of a visa may—
(b) apply for the renewal or extension of such visa or for a change of conditions attached to such visa..."

Conclusion:
Based on the Immigration Act 2002 and the Bato Star Fishing court case, changing from a tourist visa (Section 11(1)) to a volunteer visa (Section 11(1)(b)(ii)) is considered a change of conditions, which is permissible under South African immigration law.

This principle in law is covered in a more recent constitutional case “ Rayment & Others vs Minster of Home Affairs and Others , Case No CCT 176 /22 with judgement granted on 4 December 2023 .
