The Immigration Act sets out various grounds upon which an individual can be declared a prohibited person, and banned from entering South Africa. These individuals are often told that they have been placed on the “V List”.

One of the most common grounds for being placed on the “V List” is that the individual was found in possession of a fraudulent visa, permit, passport or identity document.

If this has happened to you, you may appeal to the Director-General of Home Affairs to overturn the decision and have the prohibition uplifted.
