The Department of Home Affairs has missed its own deadline to boost business and tourism in the country.
The Western Cape government says that South Africa continues to lose vital skills and tourism opportunities thanks to the government dithering on introducing new visa types – and missing its own deadlines to do so.
“Remote workers, or Digital Nomads, are people who have jobs elsewhere in the world, who, because of remote working options, would prefer to conduct this work and spend their foreign earnings in our beautiful destination,” the provincial government said. The WC government said that the delay in introducing this visa means that South Africa and the Western Cape continue to lose digital nomads to competitor destinations, such as Namibia, which has moved quickly and urgently to attract this new market.
“There is a clear proposal on how to swiftly introduce a remote work visa, and the continued failure to introduce this category is costing our economy and compromising job creation, at a time when we should be doing all we can to grow and support sectors that have shown resilience and significant job-creating potential, such as tourism.”However, while the Western Cape continues its push for new visa types, the Department of Home Affairs is already struggling with the visa types that do exist.
