The regulations, which came into effect on Monday, introduce a new visa regime for South Africa.
The regulations draw a clear distinction between short-stay visas and long-stay permanent residence permits.
They stipulate that visa applications need to be made by applicants in person, and those wanting to change the status of their visa can no longer do so in South Africa but have to do so abroad.

Several organisations have criticised the amendments to the immigration regulations,
which came into effect on Monday.
Global Migration SA said the amendments were unconstitutional and could result in litigation against the government.
“These new regulations may trigger a raft of litigation with respect to obvious omissions and constitutional issues,” Global Migration SA managing director Leon Isaacson said.
Earlier this week, the Forum of Immigration Practitioners of SA said the newly gazetted immigration regulations had an array of shortcomings that would make it impossible to apply for a work visa or any other visa.
