Join Us in Advocating for the Digital Nomad Visa in South Africa
The Department of Home Affairs in South Africa is currently inviting public comments on proposed amendments to immigration regulations, including the introduction of a digital nomad visa. These changes aim to streamline visa processes, create a point-based system for work visas, and formalize rules for visitor visas for family members of South African nationals or permanent residents.
Our Stance: Empowering Women in the Digital Economy
As a social tech organization empowering women in the digital economy, we see the potential of the digital nomad visa to bring diverse talents, foster innovation, and boost South Africa's digital economy. However, we recognize the importance of addressing potential challenges such as rising rent and living costs in cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Our Recommendations: Balancing Growth and Sustainability
To ensure a balanced environment that benefits both the community and incoming digital nomads, we propose measures such as monitoring rental prices to prevent sudden spikes, promoting affordable housing initiatives for residents and digital nomads, and supporting local businesses through tailored measures to ensure their sustainability amidst the influx of remote workers.
Our Submission Highlights: Taking Action
- Monitor Rental Prices: Implement mechanisms to track and regulate rental prices to prevent sudden spikes.
- Promote Affordable Housing Initiatives: Support programs offering affordable housing options for locals and digital nomads.
- Support Local Businesses: Implement measures to ensure local businesses can thrive alongside the influx of digital nomads.
