Our team and associates are made up of a collection of experts in various disciplines and backgrounds. From science graduates to ex immigration officials. 

Our Values

Visas and visa extensions for South Africa are at the core of what we do. Our company has a few key principles and values we pride ourselves on namely:

Customer Service

Gema Visa Service is owner driven and managed. We are not a big anonymous corporation driven by profit. We are a boutique South African visa and immigration company focused on you, the client. All clients have access to and can communicate with the owner of the company throughout the visa application process.

Success

The success of our clients is imperative: Your goal is our goal. If we are not able to get a successful result, we will not take on your case.

Value

We insist that our clients get value for money, hence we have a policy of ‘No visa, no fee’.

Who We Serve

We serve companies, corporations, and private individuals. We have worked with JSE-listed companies that have a global presence from small companies (SMS companies) to private individuals.

We have worked with companies in all industry types, including the oil and gas, film, education, ITC and FinTech industries, as well as religious institutions.

Our Unique Selling Point

We think like visa and permit adjudicators. We understand the mentality and how this might affect the outcome of an application. Our mission is, therefore, an approved South African visa or permit.
