Testimonials & Success Stories

At Intergate Immigration we take great pride in delivering high service levels. Whether you are are making an initial enquiry or have made the decision to be a client our aim is to make your immigration to South Africa as smooth and efficient as possible. Don’t take our word for it, please read the below testimonials from our clients and see what they have to say about our services.

I can highly recommend Intergate. I used their services for both a critical skills visa, and for a permanent residency. For both applications, their process was clear and well documented. Every document submitted to them was reviewed, and corrections were suggested if needed.

Even during COVID, we were able to keep momentum going, and when the critical skills list was updated, they informed me what needed to be done. As a result, no surprises on date of submission!

Special thanks to Flonique who helped me through both applications.

I have now worked with Intergate Immigration Service for over 6 years and they have carried out a number of permit/visa services for my wife and I during this time.

They are an excellent company to work with. They are organised, very professional and know their stuff. It is only when you arrive at the visa application office, that you really begin to understand how much you need a service like this.

My recent submission in the UK was quoted as “100% perfect” by the officer and I got my permit back in an incredible 5 days for something that can officially take up to 3 months. Intergate have an outstanding attention to detail and I like the way you submit documents to them on a rolling basis until everything has been checked off and then and only then, will they sign you off for submission.

To top it off, I don’t think their rates are bad either, considering the amount to client care that you get.

Jamie Cliffe

I started using Intergate Immigration Service on my arrival in South Africa back in 2019.That is where I first encountered Jaime Catala, who has done everything possible to assist me in applying and now receiving my Permanent Residency Visa.

Not only did he explain the process to me (and as I now know the process can change endless times due to the Department of Home Affairs) he was always available to answer all of my questions and concerns in a friendly helpful manner.

Intergate, having been unsuccessful in securing my PR Visa within the timescale suggested by the DoHA, then took the DoHA to court on my behalf (twice!), and am now delighted to say that I am the proud holder of that PR Visa, taking all of the stress away from me and my family.

I am in no doubt, that without the help of Jaime, and other agents at Intergate, I would NOT be holding my PR Visa now.Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Darren Clarke

Faranaaz and Jaime were fantastic from the very beginning! They were patient, clear, and attentive to our questions and queries. They give up all of our documentation in the exact order the embassy would want it, and when there were additional questions, they answered swiftly and accurately.

My wife and I HIGHLY recommend their services.

Thank you very much, Intergate!

Marlo Clarke

Intergate was very helpful with putting together my application for a retirement visa. They thoroughly went through all of the requirements and guided me through the entire process as it progressed.

Their communication was super and I always knew exactly what was needed and how to obtain the required documents.

I certainly appreciate everything they have done for me.

Thank you Intergate and thank you, especially, Sade Solomon!

Jennifer Tetreault

I successfully applied for a retired visa for SA with the help of Intergate. The agency certainly helped us and assisted with all questions and problems. We have tried before to get a visa in Namibia ourselves, but were rejected because our application was not complete.

Now everything went smoothly, we could always ask our contact person Kim Koopman. Kim has created a plan that we have worked through together, even with translations she has found us a cheap translator.

All around a great thing, we can only recommend the agency and Kim Koopman, THANK YOU.

Xavier Mutakaya

I would like to compliment Intergate on the comprehensive and high-quality service provided in guiding me through nearly five years from my first temporary residence permit while in the UK to recently securing my permanent residence permit in South Africa.

I was supported and reassured at every stage, from the initial consultation and selection of the most appropriate permits, through meticulous preparation of documents, updates on legislation and changing timelines, personal representation in submitting my applications in SA, and finally providing legal expertise to accelerate the administration.

I would – and do – heartily recommend Intergate to anyone who needs help in navigating this daunting process.

Andrew Mercer

Dear Faranaaz,Finally both applications are submitted successfully. Everything was prepared carefully and Declan has been a very kind support at VFS.

A big thank you, Faranaaz, for your endless efforts and support. Really appreciated your kind service and answering all my silly questions.

Thanks Intergate Team!!!!!!!!!!

Bettina Bastian

Dear Jaime,

Thanks very much for your congrats. It really is incredible to finally have PR in SA. Life-changing, as you can imagine. Heartfelt thanks to you and your team for all your support throughout this journey, and especially for being so generous and responsive with all my many questions over the past few years. I have given you a wonderful review on Google, and wish you much clientele in future.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Sarah Van Borek

Intergate has been exceptional in navigating the bureaucratic jungle that is the visa terrain. The reception staff are always very friendly and helpful. Prompt to reply to your emails, knowledgeable and professional staff. No question is a dumb question to them, and they take their time to answer your inquiries in detail.

Katja H., Faranaaz P. and Declan in particular who have been handling my case have made this process smooth and it’s just been a real pleasure having their professional and friendly guidance throughout.

Thank you!

June Bird

Dear Faranaaz,

Thanks to you, your staff and Declan for the excellent and successful organisation and brilliant performance. Looking forward to receiving the Temporary Residency for my wife.

Kind Regards

Lothar

We used Intergate to help us navigate the complexities of DHA applications.

We found Jaime to be very proactive in communicating with us and generous, clear and professional with information. Advice was realistic and and comprehensive, which proved invaluable so when we submitted there were no nasty surprises.

Thanks also to Rebekah and Kezia for ensuring the document submission process was seamless – I really appreciated having someone to “hold my hand” through “panic moments” when I was unsure and needed reassurance and guidance to make sure we had the exact documents required (as it is not always 100% clear what DHA require).

Thanks again and for us it was definitely worth the extra cost.

Deb and Andres

Hi Jaime,

Goodness! I can’t thank you enough for all your help.

You have given me such detailed information so promptly and at no charge. This is a very rare occurrence in these days.

Please forward this email to senior management to inform them of my gratitude. They are lucky to have such a diligent employee.

Kind regards,

Kim Ricketts

Good day

We are very pleased to tell you that the permit was approved and Lwazoluhle collected it yesterday.

Thank you very much for your professionalism, it wouldn’t have been possible without your guidance. Great thanks to Miss Sumaya.

Looking forward to working with you again in the near future.

Kind regards

Tracy Khanyi

Dear Devon and Jaime,

Trusting you are both well.

Karen and I are delighted to inform you both, that yesterday we received our returned passports from the South African High Commission, via VFS, complete with our Retirement Permits, valid until 16/08/2025.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you both, together with your team at Intergate, for the continued help and assistance you gave to us during our application process.

Let’s hope we’ll soon be able to travel again restriction free, to our beloved second home.

Take care and our very best regards.

Phil and Karen Clemens

My husband and I would like to thank Intergate Immigration Service for the help and support they provide us during the whole process of getting a visa.

Special thanks to Devon. 🙂
