The notice says the Minister of Home Affairs intends to amend the Regulations on Fees made under the Immigration Act, 2002, after consultation with the Immigration Advisory Board and with the concurrence of the Minister of Finance. It sets out a draft fee structure for the Electronic Travel Authorisation platform, including a R500 electronic processing fee and revised fees for several visa and permit categories. The regulations are stated to come into operation on 17 August 2026.
