October 8, 2024 South Africa announces five-year plan to digitize immigration services On 30 September 2024, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) announced a five-year plan to further digitize its immigration processes to enhance services and strengthen security. DHA Minister Dr. Leon Scheiber announced that the goal of the "Home Affairs @ Home" project is to make the DHA a "digital first" department by 2029 and ensure that "no one has to visit a Home Affairs office in-person again to access routine services." This scheme is expected to benefit employers by streamlining the travel and immigration processes for foreign employees.
