All our clients are urgently advised that the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has recently issued a new Directive which could have severe implications on all temporary residence visas issued beyond the date of expiry of the holder’s passport document.
This Directive imposes the application of the date of expiry of the passport document even on temporary residence visas issued beyond such expiry.
All temporary residence visa holders are urgently invited to please verify their passport expiry dates, regardless of the duration of their visas and contact our offices for further advice should their passports bear an expiry date prior to that of their visas.
