Home Affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has broken down South Africa’s massive visa backlog, showing which applications are holding up the queue.

The Department of Home Affairs continues to battle a major visa backlog, with tens of thousands of visas still being processed.

Motsoaledi previously indicated that relative/spousal visas could take up to two years to process in some cases, due to the work that needs to be done to verify the details. The minister said that in most cases, the contact number of the purported South African spouse and/ or relative is not provided, making it difficult to confirm with certainty that the South African citizen is indeed party to the relationship.
