IMPACT — MEDIUM
The South African government dramatically increased the rate of visa application rejections over the past few weeks.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: The South African government appears to be rejecting an increased number of visa applicants to help reduce a visa backlog that built up over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Employers should be aware of this trend and are encouraged to work closely with their immigration providers if an employee has an application rejected. BAL will continue to follow this development and will provide updates as information becomes available.
