Longer Stay

A temporary residence permit (longer than three months) may only be issued to a foreigner, who is not, or does not, become a prohibited person or an undesirable person. If issued outside the Republic of South Africa, a temporary residence permit is deemed to be of force and effect only after admission into the Republic.

Please note that all long term visa/permit applications will be processed in consultation with the Department of Home Affairs in Pretoria. The processing time could take approximately 4 - 8 weeks.
