IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? In a change that solves a major impediment created by recent laws, South Africa has issued a new directive allowing holders of an intra-company transfer visa issued under old regulations to be issued a second ICT visa.
What does the change mean? The foreign national must meet all the requirements and return to their home country to apply through the appropriate South African mission. The new ICT visa will be valid for up to four years.
Background: South Africa overhauled its immigration laws earlier this year. One of the provisions prohibits ICTs from being extended or renewed.
BAL Analysis: The directive from the Department of Home Affairs is a welcome adjustment to the restriction on ICTs under the new law.
