The Minister of Home Affairs, Malusi Gigaba, will tomorrow launch the Home Affairs Premium Visa and Permit Centre in Sandton, Johannesburg.

The Department of Home Affairs has partnered with VFS Global and the Gauteng Provincial government’s Gauteng Growth and Development Agency (GGDA) to facilitate increased investment into South Africa while making it easy for corporate clients to process their Visa and Permit applications.

The Home Affairs Corporate Accounts Directorate was established a few years ago as a specialised unit to facilitate the work visa applications of large companies and further manage the stakeholder relations. The work of the unit will be fully enhanced by the one-stop-shop in that all applications for visas made at the GIC centre through VFS will be managed by this unit at a highly reduced turnaround time.

Members of the media are invited as follows:

Date: Wednesday, 20 May 2015
Venue: GGDA Offices, 1 Sandton Drive, The Place, Sandton
Time: 11:00

For media enquiries kindly contact Thabo Mokgola on 060 962 4982 or Mayihlome Tshwete on 072 869 2477
