Van den Berg Attorneys specializes in assisting both South African citizens and foreign nationals with applications to the Department of Home Affairs, including work permits, residence permits, passports, and identity documents. In cases where the Department unreasonably delays issuing these documents-typically beyond three months-the firm employs legal measures to compel the Department to act or provide valid reasons for the delay. Their approach involves issuing formal demands and, if necessary, initiating court proceedings to obtain orders requiring the Department to fulfill its obligations within a specified timeframe. Clients are responsible for ensuring their applications and supporting documents are complete and submitted on time. Van den Berg Attorneys operates on the basis that the government reimburses their fees, ensuring accessible legal assistance for those facing administrative hurdles.
