According to Tuko, South Africa has scrapped its 60-day visa renewal rule, which is expected to ease the visa application and appeals process for foreign nationals.

The policy change gives applicants more time to submit their visa applications, though they are still required to apply before their current visas expire.

The removal of the 60-day requirement represents a major adjustment to the country's visa regulations for foreign nationals seeking to renew their permits.
