Upvote:8
The Department of Home Affairs has a website that you can visit to appeal any entry prohibitions http://www.dha.gov.za/index.php/immigration-services/prohibition-appeals
When applying for upliftment after being found in possession of the following.
Fraudulent visas
Fraudulent Permanent Resident
Foreign nationals who were deported
Appealing deportation or order to depart from Republic of South Africa
Good cause rejections
Who has submitted fraudulent documents in support of their application to the Department
We require the following documents .
a detail letter / affidavit of representations
copies of passports
good Cause rejection letter
a copy of the document found to be fraudulent
any other supporting documents in support of the request for an appeal process
The following should be included in an appeal:
email address
contact details
and other references
The appeal must be e-mailed to: [email protected]
I would stress that any request for compensation will be seen in a negative light by the South African authorities and your only alternative to the appeal would be to seek legal advice, at great cost and time. Ask any South African - dealing with Home Affairs is a nightmare - and we are their primary customers.
Remember, visa's are a privilege to foreign nationals, and not a right.
