]]> Home Affairs Minister has spelled out a raft of measures designed to relax South Africa’s visa regime that has repelled tourists, skilled workers, investors and business executives.

He’s responded to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s assertion that making it easier for people to visit South Africa will boost his economic recovery programme.

In addition to making it less onerous  for tourists to bring their children to South Africa, Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba tells a media briefing in Pretoria that frequent foreign visitors will soon be able to get 10 year visas within five days of application.

His department’s also working on making it easier for Chinese and Indian visitors.

A pilot  eVisa  system making it possible to apply on-line for a visa will be introduced within seven months at O.R.Tambo, King Shaka and Cape Town airports.TT
