Schrieber has previously announced his intention make Home Affairs digital-first, with the so-called Home Affairs @ home creating an environment where citizens will be able to access routine services remotely.
Once an application is complete, the resultant ID, passport or other enabling document would be shipped directly to the door of the client, regardless of whether they live in South Africa or abroad – as is already done in the case of bank cards and vehicle licences. Once they arrive at a South African port-of-entry, travellers will be required scan their ETA code and provide another copy of their biometric information, which will then be verified against their passport and the information provided at the time of application.
Before issuing an outcome, it will also cross-reference all applications for visas against domestic and international criminal and other databases. Schreiber comments: “Through the implementation of this vision over the next five years, we aim to enable everyone with an internet connection to access Home Affairs services online – and it will transform every library or community centre equipped with an internet-connection into a virtual Home Affairs office.
