Question NW2900 to the Minister of Home Affairs
19 September 2023 - NW2900
Steenhuisen, Mr JH to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
What are the full details of all persons who were issued with diplomatic passports (a) in the past three financial years and (b) since 1 January 2023?
Reply:
The Honourable Member is herewith informed that Diplomatic passports are issued according to the South African Diplomatic Passport Policy and that the Department of Home Affairs is not the custodian of this policy, and similarly not responsible for the application(s) as well as the issuance of this category of passports whatsoever. Hence it is requested that any information relating to Diplomatic Passports should be addressed to the Department of International Relations and Co-operation (DIRCO).
