What is the change? South Africa is planning to overhaul its visa regime to encourage tourism, business and investment, according to a press briefing by Minister of Communications Nomvula Mokonyane.
What does the change mean? The overhaul will cover visas for tourist and business visitors, workers with scarce skills, and children.
Background: The South African government has identified visas as an issue that it wants to address. A team of ministers from various agencies is looking into ways to overhaul visa rules to support the tourism sector and foreign direct investment.
Analysis & Comments: The government is focusing on visas as a relatively quick way to reduce barriers to travel and mobility. Meanwhile, a broader overhaul of the country’s immigration system has been outlined in a White Paper published by the Department of Home Affairs last year.
