Africa

Africa is a huge continent with diverse and frequently changing conditions for immigration applications.

Maintaining compliance while negotiating unpredictable requirements and long processing times can be a challenge. It’s crucial to find a reliable, compliant and customer-centric immigration partner who can help.

Our connections with the government are a key strength of our Africa offerings. Envoy Global’s Senior Immigration Director, Andreas Krensel, is Deputy Chairperson of the newly appointed Immigration Advisory Board, a statutory board created by the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa.
