This is what you see, when you try and reach the website of the department of home affairs these days (28.6.2025).
No wonder, people turn to agencies like us to deal with their visas :D.
As funny as this is to some (including me as I just see this as TIA – this is Africa) it is disturbing to the majority who don’t know their way through the mysterious jungle of South African bureaucrazy (no spelling mistake here).
Visas are best applied for through an agency, mostly because it is a really nerve wrecking affair if you are unexperienced. All agencies work in the same way – you just choose someone you trust.
- After having established the type of visa you would like to apply for, we let you know which documents are needed.
- We meet and go through the documents together, making copies, bringing everything in order
- We make an appointment at the Visa facilitating Services, where you will have to accompany us (presence of the applicant required).
- We submit your application.
Sounds easy, right?
