NEW IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS
COME INTO OPERATION
July 2005
In terms of Government Gazette number 27725 dated 27th June 2005 the
new Immigration Regulations together with the Immigration Amendment
Act number 19 of 2004 were proclaimed to come into operation on the
1st July 2005 and therefore become the operative regulatory
environment in respect of all applications to be lodged for
temporary and permanent residence from that date.
It is our intention to provide a comprehensive guideline on this
website detailing how this new dispensation will impact on the
immigration environment and on the viability of work, retirement and
business permits and all other categories of permits.
It is our advice at the current time that any application which was
in preparation and had not yet been lodged as at the 1st July 2005
must be re-assessed to ensure compliance with the Amendment Act and
the new Regulations.
We are in the process of reconstructing this website and any advice
on the website must therefore be viewed against the impact that the
new Regulations and the Amendment Act may have thereon. In other
words the content of this website pertaining to work, business and
retirement permits must be viewed at this stage as being general
principles to be applied and not as specific advice.
The forms in respect of temporary and permanent residence which are
downloadable off this website will shortly become redundant and will
be replaced with the new forms. At time of writing this article the
new forms are not yet available in any format.
We are also reconstructing the assessment form on our website to
bring it in line with the amendments.
We would suggest that you visit our website on an ongoing basis to
keep updated.
