15 September 2023 - NW2656
Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Tourism
(1) In light of the fact that a full e-visa system is a prerequisite for the revival and growth of the Republic’s tourism, what are the details of the roadmap outlining the targeted milestones and timelines for the comprehensive implementation of e-visas in the Republic; (2) whether there are any interim measures in place to alleviate the burden on travellers whilst technological improvements are being implemented; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The Department of Home Affairs is best placed to respond on the details of the roadmap outlining the targeted milestones and timelines for the comprehensive implementation of e-visas as this is not the mandate of the Department of Tourism.
