Immigration and Visa Application Services

Appeals & Rejections

At halloSA we are proud of our 100% successful track record with both Temporary Residence Visa and Permanent Residence Permit applications. But we do encounter clients almost every day who, due to financial and other constraints, prepare their applications without professional help and whose applications are rejected. While some of these rejections may have substance in law, many are meritless and may be overturned.

It is paramount to note that anyone whose application has been rejected by the Department of Home Affairs has the right to appeal, in the first instance, to the Director-General of the Department of Home Affairs and, in the second instance, to the Minister of Home Affairs, to have their rejection overturned. Such appeals must be filed within 10 working days after receiving such a rejection.

halloSA has extensive experience in the preparation of appeals and, where possible and necessary, can also advise on approaching the Courts of the Republic for relief.

South African immigration legislation makes provision for applicants to file administrative appeals to overturn the rejection of their applications.
