What The Toolkit Does Not Do

The Self-Help Immigration Toolkit is designed to help you prepare your own application.

It does not mean that Strategies Migration Services automatically becomes your representative or takes over the application process.

If you want Strategies to handle more of the process for you, you can upgrade to professional immigration assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as hiring an immigration consultant?

If you want Strategies Migration Services to manage your application, you can enquire about our full immigration services.

Will the toolkit guarantee my visa application is approved?

No immigration service can guarantee a visa outcome. The toolkit is designed to help you understand and prepare your application based on the applicable requirements.

Can I get help if I get stuck?

Yes.

Depending on the toolkit and package selected, professional consultation or application review options may be available.

Can I use the toolkit if I have never applied for a South African visa before?

Yes.

The toolkit is designed to give you a structured process to follow rather than requiring you to already understand the entire application process.

What if I am not sure which visa I need?

Start with our visa assessment.

It can help you identify the pathway that may be relevant to your circumstances.
