- Home Affairs extends operating hours as services are back online
Home Affairs Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi has instructed the Department to extend operating hours to ensure that all clients that visited the offices on Friday are served. The extension of operating hours excludes weekends when the offices will be closed. The Minister has also extended operating hours at some of the busiest ports of entry by between two and seven hours, making some of them operational 24 hours. This is to enable a continuous processing of truck drivers. Other travellers will be processed during the hours that fall outside the curfew.
The extension is to meet the anticipated increase in the demand for ID and passport services during the winter school holidays. Due in large part to Frankfurt’s excellent international airport – one the world’s busiest and best – the Consulate plays a key role in the supply chain for and provides a wide array of services and support to over 100 other US missions around the world. The Consulate is also a major regional conference and training center for staff from other embassies and consulates, and it provides consular-services support functions for the region. TheConsul Generaland his principal officers direct the activities of the United States Consulate General in Frankfurt. The Frankfurt Consulate is the largest U.S. consular post and one of the largest diplomatic missions in the world.

The Consulate serves the American resident community – including members of the Armed Forces and their families, business people and retirees – and assists many other visitors to Frankfurt. Employers must continue to follow Australian workplace law. Overseas workers, including international students, have the same rights under Australian workplace law as all other employees.

Students must make sure they are aware of any changes to visa conditions, including work rights. Qoza also urged people to arrive early at their offices. Beit Bridge and Maseru Bridge are already operating for 24 hours. The extension means that both ports will operate for 24 hours during the approved periods.
“This also means that the new opening and closing hours will not change the maximum number of hours DHA officials are required to work,” he said. Office hours will be from 7.30am to 4.30pm, including a 30-minute lunch break. However, opening and closing hours for serving clients will be from 8am to 4pm.
During this visit, the Ambassador met with Minister President of Saarland Anke Rehlinger, Finance Minister Jakob von Weizsäcker, and Lord Mayor of Saarbruecken Uwe Conradt. In recent years, researchers from Ireland's Discovery Programme assisted with the digital scanning of the Celtic prince found near the Glauberg, as part of a multinational EU project called 'ArchaeoLandscapes Europe'. The scans were used to create 25 replica 'princes' that have toured Hessen in the years since, including as part of the Year of the Celts in Hessen this year. This event marked the first of a series of events we will be organising to mark 50 years of Ireland’s membership of the European Union.

“The Department will ensure that everyone who is inside an office at the time of closing receives required services. The extended operating hours will be 8am to 7pm, from Monday to Thursday. Apleni said with the new opening and closing hours, staff members will still work a 40-hour week spread over six days, Monday to Saturday, and work only two Saturdays a month. Pretoria – The Department of Home Affairs has introduced new office hours to improve services to the public. The Minister extended operating hours at the Oshoek border with Eswatini by seven hours from 20 to 24 December and at the Lebombo border with Mozambique by six hours from 13 December 2021 to 09 January 2022.
“Importantly, the new opening and closing hours will afford managers and staff sufficient time to interact with each other on service delivery matters and front office operations,” he said. “The temporary extension is therefore aimed at giving people more time to come to our offices or be processed through our borders in a safe manner, taking into account that COVID-19 is still with us,” said Minister Motsoaledi. Minister Motsoaledi said the Department owed it to the public to extend operating hours to compensate for the unfortunate network failure incident. During school holidays, the Department of Home Affairs experiences an increase in demand for its products, especially parents applying for various enabling documents for their children. To address workforce shortages, student visa work hours restrictions have been temporarily relaxed.
