Common questions

What does 'declared undesirable' mean?

It means South African Home Affairs recorded a ban against your passport — usually for overstaying — so you are refused entry for 12 months, 5 years or longer.

Can an undesirable ban really be removed?

Yes. The Immigration Act allows you to appeal and ask for the declaration to be uplifted. We prepare the motivation and lodge it with Home Affairs on your behalf.

Do I need to be in South Africa to appeal?

No. The whole appeal is done online from wherever you are — Zimbabwe, South Africa or anywhere else in the world.

What documents do I need?

Your passport bio-page, any declaration or deportation letter you were given, proof of your current address and a short explanation of your circumstances.

How much does it cost?

R1 500 for the standard 30-day service, R1 800 for the 7-day urgent service and R3 400 for same-day express handling.
