Temporary residence
“Temporary residence” covers the visas most people use to live and work in South Africa for a defined period - work, study, business, retirement, relatives, life partners, and more. Each category has specific financial, medical, and police-clearance requirements.
Examples (not exhaustive)
- Work visas - general work, critical skills, intra-company transfer, and related categories tied to an employer or assignment.
- Study visas - for full-time registration at recognised institutions.
- Business & corporate - for investment and corporate mobility where the rules support the structure you are using.
- Retirement & relatives - where financial means or family relationship tests are met.
How we work temporary files
We combine document checklists, VFS / submission milestones, and clear communication so you know what is outstanding and why it matters. Our online case workspace mirrors how your file actually progresses - the same system our team uses to keep tasks aligned.
Disclaimer: Categories and thresholds change. We do not guarantee outcomes; we build a defensible file and manage risk with you.
