Introducing our UK immigration consultant

My name is Jaime Catala and I’m an immigration specialist for South Africa. I joined Intergate Immigration in 2016, and have assisted families, individuals, and entrepreneurs with their immigration from the UK to South Africa.

I use my first-hand knowledge of the visa process to guide my clients through their immigration. My role is to simplify the process, and guide clients along the way by providing expert advice.

If you choose me as your South African immigration consultant, I’ll work with you to successfully submit your visa application.

Receive expert immigration advice

I offer a 30-minute telephone consultation to discuss your immigration eligibility, clarify the process, outline costs and timelines, and answer any questions you may have.

The cost for this telephone consultation is £45, payable by credit card or PayPal. To book a consultation, click here:

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 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 Koopermann, THANK YOU

Excellent! 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.

Intergate Cape Town 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!
