Know Your Rights:

Understanding your rights can make all the difference. In this Immigration Law feature, Ndou Attorneys Inc. explains key legal protections applicable to immigration detention, including the 48-hour rule, the right to appear before a court, and safeguards against unlawful detention.
At Ndou Attorneys Inc., we believe that access to clear legal information is an important part of protecting dignity, freedom and the rule of law.

Visa Rejected?
Why a Refusal Does Not Have to Be the End
A visa or permit refusal from Home Affairs is a decision, and you can challenge it. You have 10 working days from the day you receive the rejection to appeal to the Director-General under section 8(4) of the Immigration Act. If that fails, you can appeal to the Minister under section 8(6) within a further 10 working days. After that, you can take the decision on review to the High Court under the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act.
Ndou Attorneys Inc. covers each of these steps. It explains how to get written reasons for a refusal and why applying again does not count as an appeal.

Inside Section 22: What Every Asylum Seeker Should Know
Under the Refugees Act 130 of 1998
A section 22 visa gives you legal status while your asylum claim is being decided. It can be valid for up to six months. You must renew it before it expires at the Refugee Reception Office where you applied. Keep every receipt, email and appointment letter as proof that you tried to renew.
Ndou Attorneys Inc. explains the rights you have while your claim is pending. It also covers the 2023 Constitutional Court ruling that an expired visa does not mean your claim has been abandoned, and the July 2026 changes on how you entered South Africa. The video then sets out what to do if something goes wrong.

We look at the importance of due process, access to the courts, and the legal remedies that may be available where deportation could interfere with an ongoing case.

Born in South Africa. But are you a citizen?
Being born in South Africa does not on its own make you a citizen. Under the South African Citizenship Act 88 of 1995, your citizenship depends on who your parents were and on whether your birth was registered.
This episode covers citizenship through a South African parent and the rights of stateless children and children of permanent residents. It also explains when children of foreign nationals can apply at 18, and what the courts have decided on each of these routes.
If you were told you are not a citizen, have it checked properly. Contact us on 011 354 0060 or at info@ndouinc.co.za.

Can you change from a visitor's visa to a work visa in South Africa?
As a general rule, if you are in South Africa on a visitor's visa you cannot change it to a work visa while you are here. You have to apply for the work visa at a South African mission abroad. Regulation 9(9)(a) allows four exceptions, and the list is closed.
This episode explains those four grounds and the Constitutional Court's Nandutu judgment, which added two of them. It also covers the mistakes that can leave people overstaying.
Before you apply, check which visa you were admitted on and get advice. Contact us on 011 354 0060 or at info@ndouinc.co.za.

General work visa vs critical skills visa
Since 9 October 2024, applications for both South African work visas are scored on points, and you need 100 to qualify. For a critical skills visa, an occupation on the critical skills list earns the full 100 on its own. The general work visa has no list, so you build up the 100 from your salary, qualifications, experience and language.
This episode compares the two visas side by side. It also explains that the Department of Employment and Labour certificate is no longer required, and how each visa leads to permanent residence.
The points schedule and the critical skills list are revised from time to time, so check the version in force on the day you apply.
