Like a deer in the headlights

City Press – 11 April 2022

Listening to Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi and some of his Cabinet colleagues talking about the immigration question, you could be forgiven for believing that they were powerless folk.

It is as if the crisis of illegal immigration and the pressure it puts on public resources and services just miraculously happened.

You would also swear that nobody foresaw the violent backlash from working class South Africans against foreign nationals.

Motsoaledi was on JJ Tabane’s show Power to Truth on TV channel eNCA this week, pontificating about this crisis.

It is really bizarre that government seems to be waking up to this tinderbox issue only now that the populists and vigilantes are fanning the flames of hate towards immigrants and taking the law into their own hands.

One of the myriad disasters of those who have run our country for the past 28 years is the failure to manage immigration.

We say this recognising that the illegal movement of people across the borders is inevitable, as South Africa is perceived as an island of prosperity on the continent.

With wave after wave of undocumented immigrants flowing into the country and making this their home, government has been like a deer caught in the headlights.

Besides the pointless exercise of arresting those who are undocumented and deporting them, very little sustainable work is done to manage the crisis. The borders have remained porous, enabling the deported to immediately make their way back to South Africa as soon as they have said their hellos to their families and friends.

Government even failed to heed the bloody warnings of the massive xenophobic outbreaks in 2008 and 2015, and the sporadic flare-ups that take place from time to time in different locales.

Now government has promised to intensify its border management efforts. But that only tackles the inflow of the new immigrants.

The question is: What can be done about the millions of undocumented immigrants who are already in the country and are the targets of populists who prey on the grievances of the poor?

The opportunists who are waging a campaign of vigilantism are filling a leadership vacuum left by government’s paralysis.

Don’t have a visa? Not to worry. South Africans to get visa on arrival when travelling to Egypt

IOL 11-04-2022

Egypt announced this week that South Africans travelling to Egypt for tourism no longer have to acquire a visa in advance from Egyptian embassies. They can now get their visa upon arrival at Cairo International Airport.

The land of the pharaohs is a destination that has long been on the bucket list of many South Africans given Egypt’s rich cultural heritage and attractively priced seaside resorts. According to an Egypt Today report, on April 3 The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade celebrated its first anniversary.

Golden Parade was an event held in Cairo on April 3, 2021, during which 22 mummies were moved from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation in Fustat.

Although Egyptian tourists travelling to South Africa still need to get a visa in advance, Egypt’s Ambassador to South Africa HE Ahmed El Fadly hopes that this move will encourage South Africa to consider following Egypt’s example. He said it would “enhance people-to-people relations between Africa’s two largest economies” and might one day lead to the lifting of all visa requirements between the two.

El Fadly said that this decision by Egypt, which for now doesn’t apply to any other African country, means that travel to Egypt is now easier for South Africans especially given the resumption of Egypt Air’s regular direct flights from Cairo to Johannesburg.

He said that Egypt expected the number of travellers from South Africa to increase significantly.

The Egyptian Embassy said visas upon arrival would be valid for a period of 30 days and that this this procedure puts South African tourists on par with visitors that come to Egypt from the EU, Japan, the US and Canada.

Egypt Travel and Covid-19

Travellers who have a Covid test on arrival should stay in their hotel room until they receive the result, which takes 12 – 24 hours.

In the case of a positive result, self-isolation for 14 days is mandatory. The traveller covers the cost of this test.

People travelling to the coastal governorates with a valid vaccination certificate do not need to get tested before departure or on arrival.

At the airport, passengers arriving from overseas will be asked to present this certificate, a public health declaration form, and proof of health insurance.

How much a UK visa will cost South Africans in 2022

Businesstech  - 11 April 2022

Every year on 6 April, the prices of most UK visas increase as the Home Office revises pricing,.

Immigration Health Surcharge

“If you are moving to the UK for more than six months, you will also need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS),” said Dunn. The IHS allows the use of the National Health Service (NHS) as soon as you arrive in the UK.

“Paying this surcharge gives you access to free basic medical care while you are in the UK.”

Below is a table that shows the fees charged by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI):

Current conversion rate: £1/R19.23.

How does the IHS work?

The IHS is an upfront fee that is paid in full along with your visa application.

The amount you’ll have to pay depends on which visa you are applying for and how long you’ll be staying in the UK, said Dunn.

The current fee is R12,000/£624. If you’re applying for an Ancestry visa which is valid for five years, you’ll have to pay R60,000/£3,120 upfront as part of your application.

The surcharges for other common visas are as follows:

• Spouse visa – R23,993
• Spousal extension – R23,993
• Youth Mobility Scheme – R18,071
• Student visa – R9,035

Correct Application

Every year, thousands of visa applications are rejected because they are filled out incorrectly or applicants haven’t included the right documents, said Dunn.

“The Home Office will keep your visa fee whether your application gets accepted or denied, to avoid throwing money away, or paying the same amount twice, it’s important that your application is as watertight as possible.”

Good evening dear members. We now have Immigration Directive 12 of 2021.

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 SA MIGRATION 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 Home country without being formally charged at the border or legal port of exit to avoid being deported
