Angolan Cessation
In a four-part series, we summarize academic articles published by the Scalabrini Institute for Human Mobility in Africa (SIHMA), which conducts research on migration in Africa.
Angolan former refugees, who have been living in South Africa for decades, are being issued
Angolan Special Permits (ASP) by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) following years of
precarious legality in the country. Whilst we welcome and celebrate the issuance of ASPs, we share
the concerns of these former refugees around their futures – the ASPs expire in 2021 and are nonrenewable. Read our press release here.
Information for those ACP clients who did NOT go to their VFS appointment only.
THE DEADLINE TO APPLY AT VFS OFFICES FOR YOUR ASP PERMIT IS 15 DECEMBER 2017.
