Who better to ask whether the Trusted Employer Scheme (TES) is achieving its aim of providing pre-vetted employers with a more streamlined immigration process than the companies that have experienced it first-hand?
The recently launched second phase of the Department of Home Affairs’ Trusted Employer Scheme (TES) marks another significant step towards making it easier for companies to attract the international skills needed to support businesses operations, innovation and economic growth.
Within days of the Department of Home Affairs launching the second phase of the Trusted Employer Scheme (TES), it is already seeing strong interest from businesses seeking to become part of the programme. Companies recognised as Trusted Employers benefit from significantly faster visa processing and streamlined immigration procedures when bringing critical skills into South Africa.
The Department of Home Affairs has expanded South Africans’ access to Smart ID services by an impressive 250% in just 19 weeks, compelling evidence of the progress with its digital transformation programme, Home Affairs @ home, which uses technology to securely bring government services directly to citizens.
Sars may no longer be its sole standard-bearer for efficiency as Home Affairs rolls out new digital services by the week.
