We provide comprehensive support for all your South African immigration needs, whether you’re applying for the first time from abroad, renewing or amending your current temporary residency visa, or seeking permanent residency.

To live in South Africa as a temporary resident, you must apply for a temporary residency visa. These visas vary in duration, ranging from three months to five years, depending on the purpose of your stay. There are specific categories for temporary residency, so it’s essential to carefully evaluate both your eligibility and your intended activities in South Africa.

Permanent residency allows individuals to live in South Africa indefinitely without the need to renew a visa every few years. To be granted permanent residency, applicants must meet the specific requirements outlined in Sections 26 or 27 of the Immigration Act.

Securing permanent residency is your key to living in South Africa without the hassle of renewing your visa every few years. This status allows you to fully enjoy your time in South Africa, which is why it’s called “Permanent” residency. It’s essential to safeguard your permanent residency (PR) certificate, as you may need to provide proof of your status upon request.

If you have held permanent residency in South Africa for five consecutive years or more, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization to become a South African citizen, as outlined in the South African Citizenship Act.

With its vibrant culture, breathtaking natural beauty, and affordable cost of living, South Africa—especially Cape Town—has become a top choice for many foreigners looking to retire abroad.
