Immigration Act upended by legal chaos | Opinion | M&G

Hidden in South Africa’s immigration system is the secret to its overriding objective: legal chaos, the primary barrier to the entry of foreigners.

It takes a little patience to compare the consular websites of South Africa’s 124 foreign missions where immigration applications are submitted. These differences are detectable from mission to mission, and it is only a question of degree as to how significant they are. The consequence is that applications complying definitively with the Immigration Act are rejected for noncompliance with the whims of the consular missions and their staff.

People applying for business visas at foreign missions, including foreign investors, are therefore forced to deal with employees who have neither knowledge of the Immigration Act nor the inclination to determine complex applications for immigration benefits in terms of the Act.
