IMPACT – MEDIUM
The South African government has announced that it will significantly increase passport fees in November.
Key Points:
Additional Information: On Nov. 1, South African authorities will begin charging 600 ZAR for Diplomatic and Official passports, both of which are currently free of charge until Nov. 1. Emergency travel certificate fee will remain at 140 ZAR.
BAL Analysis: The South African government planned to increase passport application fees after it determined the production costs of passports were much higher than their associated fees. South African passport application fees were last increased in 2011.
