The SA Times - also known as the South African Times - is an online news and blog website published by TNT Publishing in the United Kingdom and is considered to be "The voice of South Africans living abroad".
The SA Times used to be available in a weekly tabloid format until May 2008. It was founded in 1993 by Adam Teeger who spotted a business opportunity after South Africa rejoined the Commonwealth following the unbanning of the African National Congress. This meant that South Africans could, like other Commonwealth countries, apply for a working holiday visa to live and work in the United Kingdom for a period of two years. The United Kingdom saw an influx from South Africa, many of whom subsequently settled in the country. Today the South African population in the United Kingdom is estimated at between 700000 and a million.
TNT Publishing, owners of TNT Magazine, the “traveller’s bible” for Antipodean and South African visitors living and working in the UK acquired the print and online titles of the SA Times and the South Africa magazine in August 2008 from SA Times owners ZA Publishing. SA Times is a complementary addition to the TNT portfolio. It is a well-respected and recognised brand within the South African community abroad.
The South African Times also publishes print special editions such as the 2009 Special South African Times Election and Freedom Day magazine. South African Times online features an Expat section with visa advice, community news and events, a Republic section for bloggers to feature issues from home, a Find a Job section featuring a job board to search for jobs abroad and a Talk section to allow all registered users an opportunity to pose questions or raise an issue.
A visa is a conditional authorization granted by a polity to a foreigner that allows them to enter, remain within, or leave its territory. Visas typically include limits on the duration of the foreigner's stay, areas within the country they may enter, the dates they may enter, the number of permitted visits, or if the individual has the ability to work in the country in question. Visas are associated with the request for permission to enter a territory and thus are, in most countries, distinct from actual formal permission for an alien to enter and remain in the country. In each instance, a visa is subject to entry permission by an immigration official at the time of actual entry and can be revoked at any time. Visa evidence most commonly takes the form of a sticker endorsed in the applicant's passport or other travel document but may also exist electronically. Some countries no longer issue physical visa evidence, instead recording details only in immigration databases.
