The South African immigration legislation is relatively complex.
According to our experiences, many foreigners are easily confused about
the different ways one can immigrate to
South Africa.
Just one of the reasons is that naturally
not everyone has the time, nor the understanding of the
South African Immigration Act. Furthermore, there are
many different interpretations of these regulations which
can lead to misunderstanding.
For your better understanding, our
partners Imcosa have compiled a comprehensive information
brochure, which will hopefully answer your initial questions.
Please feel free to contact us at any stage, whether
it is related to feedback, advice or positive changes.
