12,765 Amnesty Applications Still Under Review

Thousands of amnesty applications are still being reviewed. The government says that applications for twelve thousand, seven hundred and sixty-five migrants from thirty-two countries are still being vetted in collaboration with the Ministry of Home Affairs and New Growth Industries. The new expected date of completion is the end of September 2024. Stakeholders are reminded that the valid “white” Amnesty Program receipt is a legal document entitling migrants to remain and work in the country until a final decision is made on their application. The Amnesty Program is being implemented for the purposes of national security, managing migration, economic development, and humanitarian assistance.
