I can highly recommend the team at Immigration boutique who handled my applications and dealt with home affairs on my... behalf. I used their services to arrange for my applications at home affairs for 5 family vault birth register applications (Oct 2023) and 2 SA citizenship retention letters (May/Jun 2024). The whole process with immigration boutique was a pleasure. I continuously received feedback on the progress of the vault birth registers which does take time (total time from application to receival of copies was approx 5 months partially delayed due to Home affairs misfiling a vault birth register and them having to track and trace the vault). I constantly received feedback from the consultants on the progress and location of the vault birth registers. The retention of citizenship took under a week to receive the documents. I can highly recommend the consultants Geraldine Stander and Josandri Lubbe who worked on my applications. Would recommend their services to anyone needing assistance.read more

The service I received from i-Boutique has been absolutely fantastic. I needed documents from Department Home Affairs... that dated back as far as 1926 and then there were documents that I did not even know existed. I asked for these and i-Boutique delivered. They work in an incredibly difficult environment having to deal with stressed out Clients (or in my case a singular stressed out client) in a totally dysfunctional SA Government Department. Yet somehow they always managed to convince me that they have it under control, patiently and constantly explaining the processes to me. And at the end, the documents were delivered. A great thank you to the team at i-Boutique and if you were not present to assist me I would have given up my Foreign Nationality application process a very very long time ago. I don't often give a 5-star review but in this instance i-Boutique more than deserves it.read more

I have had the most amazing experience using the services of Immigration Boutique in the last week. I have just... recently been approved for my British Citizenship and am to receive an invite for my oath ceremony at any time so having a retention of citizenship certificate in a hurry was a real need. Josandri Lubbe was absolutely incredible and arranged everything in literally 3 days. For anyone needing to secure immigration related documents, do feel free to reach out to them.read more

I really need to thank Immigration Boutique for excellent service. In particular Xailer Taljaard. He went the extra... mile to help me get documents done in record time and made what I thought was impossible possible. And he is always available to help, even after hours to follow up. Please be assured that I will recommend Xailer and the team and with no doubt again use you guys in the future.read more

An excellent team with a professional service. Not only did the team identify a misprint from a governmental agency,... but they also worked to resolve the issue. When something else went wrong, the team was highly accountable and saw to it that the matter was addressed. As such, I was able to get the documents I needed with complete peace of mind. I can happily recommend Immigration Boutique and will most certainly use the company's services again.read more

Dear Johan, Eloise, and Xailer, I am reaching out to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided... by Immigration Boutique (i-Boutique) during the recent challenges I faced after submitting my South African passport renewal application. The support and efficiency demonstrated by your team, especially Xailer, played a pivotal role in expediting the entire process. Navigating the complexities of passport renewal can be a daunting task, and it was during this phase that Immigration Boutique truly shone. Xailer's unwavering dedication and daily commitment to "fight for me" transformed what could have been a stressful experience into a remarkably smooth and efficient process. His proactive approach and regular updates provided a sense of assurance, making the journey both manageable and, dare I say, enjoyable. I appreciate the efforts of Xailer and the entire team at Immigration Boutique in resolving the challenges that arose after my passport renewal application was submitted. Your collective competence, coupled with a personal touch, reflects the true essence of exceptional customer service. Once again, thank you for turning what could have been a bureaucratic ordeal into a positive experience. I am genuinely grateful for the outstanding service, and I look forward to recommending Immigration Boutique to others in need of expert assistance with immigration matters. Warm regards, Elaineread more

I can highly recommend Immigration Boutique for all your passport requirements. Eloise Botha definitely went the extra... mile, she calmed my nerves and came through with our retention letters in record time and an (impossible) determination letter for our German grandfather. We did not have all his correct info when we applied months ago and the application had disappeared into the Home Affairs system because of that. She managed to sort it out - she found his correct South African ID number, expedited the letter and made sure it was at Pretoria Central Home Affairs so that we could just walk in and collect the original. She kept me updated the whole way through the process and I cannot thank her enough. I have to add that if there was a 10 star review for professionalism I would give it to them.read more

Disappointed to report that I have received shockingly poor service from the get go from the Unabridged Birth... Certificate (UBC) Department. We applied for our UBC’s in September 2021 and contacted i-Boutique in January to expedite the process. They received our full payment and all the required documents between 26 and 28 January. From the get go, there were multiple errors in the process, but we didn’t have a choice to get professional assistance. We got the wrong account with people’s personal confidential information on multiple occasions, all the way from wrong invoices and wrong quotes with sensitive information to highly confidential personal apostelled documents that was not ours. Unfortunately we also did not receive updates and had to ask weekly for updates and explanations, with the same generic responses that seemed highly untrue and assuming one has no idea how the process works, or using technical jargon that was either made up (never heard of before) or has no meaning to someone outside of the consultants’ offices. I know after spending many months on the phone with Home Affairs how challenging it can be, but our consultant took full advantage of the fact that we are abroad, cannot personally follow up and verify her reports and claims, and has to date provided no job or call references to evidence that anything has actually been done. The irony of it all, is that our UBC’s has supposedly been ready for print and collection, respectively, since about 17 February 2022. We are on 19 March, and despite numerous follow ups with our consultant and no feedback from her despite the same generic or nonsensical responses, we have no idea where these documents are in the process. To top this all off, our consultant seems highly disorganized and has very poor basic professional writing ability. It has just been a doubtful process through and through with our consultant. I have tried to resolve this by contacting our consultant telephonically and via email to resolve this, and by emailing multiple other consultants at Immigration Boutique, unfortunately to no avail. The basic response, if I get a response, is that they will follow up and let me know, with no such follow ups given. I hoped to avoid posting this review at all costs, but I feel like I have run out of options to get very basic transparant feedback or service.read more

AVOID !!!! Their unprofessional chewing gum and string type of website should be the first red flag but still, thought... that it may be worth giving them a chance. The result was really disappointing and exceptionally poor "service". After waiting a year for a birth certificate (with an ID number, so it wasn't complicated) we eventually gave up and found someone else to do it. This person managed to deliver what we wanted only a week after applying. Dealing with the immigration boutique people involves constant chasing these people up, and only on a good day, when they have nothing better to do, can you expect an answer. When this happens, it is generally a standard email that is copy/pasted from somewhere else, but so slap dash that the copy/paste part is in a different colour and a different font, which shows the level of professionalism you can expect. Sure the application takes a while but more than a year for a week's worth of work is totally unacceptable. I really suggest that if you are looking for services like the ones which they supposedly offer then to keep looking, or do it yourself. You're likely to save money and immense frustration (yes, standing in a queue at Home Affairs is less frustrating than the "service" which is given by Immigration Boutique)read more

Excellent service.We dealt with a few members of the team on matters relating to retention of SA citizenship. We are a... big family and needed lots of care around our questions, paper-work, etc. Immigration Boutique handled our case extremely professionally. Guidance and information was clear and honest. We were provided with a quote that matched what we had been promised. There is always a feeling of concern when you are paying 100% of the cost upfront. Immigration Boutique delivered everything we asked for, and, well ahead of timing expectations. Brilliant service - I couldn't fault them and will definitely be recommending the company to family and friends without hesitation.read more

Lies lies and more lies. They make messes, refuse to fix them, have catty and bullying attitudes depending on if you... speak to men or women. They'll misquote, or pretend they can do things they can't. And when they get found out, they'll say the job was not their 'core business'. You pay them upfront, and when you discover their mess, they refuse to refund you and blame you or a 3rd party for their mistakes. Go anywhere else but these muppets.read more
