Tuesday 4 November - Living Across Borders
7pm South African Time on Zoom
As voters head to the polls in the States we’re talking SA visas and US border realities with June Luna, a Cape Town based Immigration Attorney and DASA member. Whether you’re figuring out your South African visa or worried about travelling to the US right now, June will share expertise and insights from both sides of the border.
Please share this event with other US Citizens in SA as we know there is widespread concern about travelling into the States.
