The South Africa Department of Trade, Industry, and Competition (the DTIC) has launched the Business Visa Recommendation System (VRS), an online platform for business visa recommendation applications.
The VRS, which replaces the email application process, is aimed at all foreign business owners applying for first, extension and/or permanent residence recommendation, in terms of the Immigration Act 13 of 2002.
Key features of the VRS include:
- Online Submission – Applicants can now submit business visa for first, extension and permanent recommendations applications digitally;
- Document Upload – Required supporting documents can be uploaded directly to the system;
- Real-Time Tracking – Applicants can monitor the progress of their applications;
- Automated Notifications – Updates and final recommendations will be communicated through the system.
