Common questions

Frequently asked

Is this free to use?
Yes — the Explorer plan is free permanently. It includes essential guides covering every stage of your return, and all twelve provider categories with descriptions and counts. Homebound unlocks the full provider directory with names, bios and contact details. Sorted adds interactive calculators and a personalised return checklist. Paid plans start from an accessible monthly fee — no lock-in, cancel anytime.
Which countries does it cover?
The guides and directory are built for South Africans returning from anywhere in the world. The provider network currently has the strongest coverage for the UK to SA corridor, with providers also covering Australia, the UAE, New Zealand, the Netherlands and beyond. Coverage is expanding as the network grows.
How are service providers vetted?
Each provider is approached directly, checked against their registration or accreditation body and listed only once the credentials check out. Listings can be suspended if that changes.
When does it launch?
We're targeting a beta launch in Q4 2026. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first to access the platform when we go live.
