Shame man 10 months waiting for a South African visa sounds about right 😅. At least you had the student visa while you was waiting. Where did you apply for your Relative Visa? in SA or outside the country?

I been married since 2009 and applied permanent residence in 2016 at vfs still waiting till now.and now have to applied for temporary residence visa every 1and half year.
So I have a question?🙃 So I've been a refugee for 18 years now, so all my life but I wasn't born here. I've never left the country either. So my question is how does the permanent resident permit process work for me with respect to my situation and also as an aspiring flight attendant who will have to travel out of the country for work?
Tjo that's quite a wait there...but I have noticed they will treat people differently depending on the type of visa you are applying for and the country you're from. If you're African and you take the marriage/spousal or relative visa route then you will likely wait the longest...
Have been looking out for such videos like this, well explained and direct. I actually Finnish my studies in critical skills area since four years back but I not hear this information but I will be back soon in SA to apply. Thanks brother. You are a genus
What if u are not from south africa and u want to move to south africa permanently can u still get the t2a when ur not in S.A? And what type of visa do u have to get in order to move for permanent settlement
I doubt it mervin. Xenophobia feeds off all sorts of factors, but in SA's case poverty and ignorance are huge top of that list. I don't see the economic situation in SA getting any better any time soon.
Thanks for your work sir. Can you inform us about the Permanent residence visa that is taken upon graduation into critical skills fields attained in South African institutions? what are the requirements?
Sure. I wrote an article on this which provides more details but essentially, if you graduated from a South African Uni qith a critical skills degree, you can immediately apply for PR using a waiver that was signed in 2016. More details here : trying2adult.com/applying-for-south-african-critical-skills-permanent-residence-permit/

@@trying2adult Can I apply for a Critical Skills Permanent Residence Permit if I'm in the U.S.? My goal is to apply for Permanent Residence right away. Is that possible or should I apply for the Critical Work Skills Visa first, then apply for the Critical Skills Permanent Residence Permit? I don't live in South Africa yet?
Okay, thanks homeboy. I'm based in Botswana myself. If you get your permanent residency there with a critical skill, will you still need a work permit. And then secondly, does the spouse of a permanent resident need a work permit to work there in SA?
If you have permanent residence then you have all the privileges of a permanent resident. That includes being able to work anywhere you want in SA without the need of a visa (you are viewed as a local (Black South African) when applying for jobs. It also doesn’t matter how you got that permanent residence.

Hey Izzle. The ZEP visa is only available for people who were on the "ZSP" visa which they discontinued a while ago now. I don't think you can get this right now... but I could be wrong though, it's best to reach out to VFS or home affairs.
If you qualify then it's possible. A lot of my friends apply for PR while they are studying their Masters (they use their BSc to apply for the PR). You should certainly consider it.
You mean Cape Town is a beautiful country? Lol... Btw, this permit business is interesting. I have a friend of mine that's currently in Zim. She studied anthropology, I think or something along those lines. She did degree in Arts/Humanities. She studied at a university here in SA. She basically wants to come back to SA but struggling. What advice can you give her?
Yeah that's a very tough one. Most Arts/Humanities degrees aren't listed under the "Critical Skills" that SA is looking for but she needs to first confirm that this is actually the case. She needs to have a look at the list of Critical Skills to see if there is anything she qualifies for. Sometimes not all job titles are listed there (my job title is not there for example) so she should also look for people in her field who have similar qualifications as her to find out which skills those guys used to get their visa. But ultimately, if her qualifications are not under the Critical Skills then she will need to look at other avenues because getting a general work permit when you're not under the critical skills list is near impossible cos the hiring company will have to prove that they could not find any South African with similar qualifications. A lot of people who end up in this scenario sometimes sign up for a Masters Degree in SA which is considered a critical skill and then use that Masters Degree for applying for the critical skills visa...obviously you'd need to make sure that Masters Degree qualifies to be a critical skill...If she enjoys academics she might consider doing PhD. If you hold a PhD from a South African University you qualify for Permanent Residency.
Bro i am a moroccan and am thinking about moving to cape town and might be opening an busines like car wach ( around 50.000 $ ) can i get a permit residency
Hey Fahd. It’s pretty tough to open a business in SA as a foreigner. You need large investments (more than about US$400,000) and various other requirements. Your chances of getting permanent residency are pretty slim
Hey Rachel. I really can't confirm hey but the list is not exhaustive. There are certain roles that qualify for the visa but can be called something else on the critical skills list ( a lot of careers in I.T for example). I would recommend that you call your professional body and ask them about whether you qualify for the visa. They are in a better position to address your question.
Hi Ashely I also apply mine this year January 2022 I am still waiting nothing as been changed on the vfs website still saying has been received at DHA … any suggestions or tips l will be much appreciated 👍
Hey Tino, what happens when your passport expires and you have a permanent res permit.. Do you have to apply for another permanent res permit to go with the new passport?
Passports are needed to travel internationally so if it expires, you’ll still be able to live in SA... but you’ll have to apply for a new passport from your home country. People are usually able to do this though their embassy or a consulate. It’s generally a good idea to always have your passport handy as a foreigner in any country. I’m not sure where there’s there’s laws against having an expired passport
@@arnold2076 And once you have renewed your passport, you need to take it to home affairs for them to put that sticker that you are a permanent resident
Hi tino, I’m planning to apply for permanent residency as I study a subject on critical skill list at uct. My study visa expires in Feb. I will graduate in December. Can I apply and then leave and wait outside the country ?
You won’t be allowed to apply and go wait in your home country for the visa. They actually don’t allow you to renew your visa (or upgrade it) within 60 days before it expires to prevent people from leaving the country before the visa is out. It takes about 3 weeks for the visa to come out though so you may be able to apply and not have to leave the country. One of my friends was able to apply for a Critical Skills VISA using a letter from his department that confirmed his graduation date and he was able to submit his application before graduation.
So helpful ! Thanks so much. For the visa I will need professional body registration confirmation though ? Would you recommend applying for a visa and then for pr ?
Either route will work, it depends on your own situation. Yes you will need a South African professional body to give you a Critical Skills Clearance (them basically confirming that you have a critical skill, the right qualifications, and enough work experience)... If you got your degree from a SA University then you can straight away apply for PR... it even has less requirements than the critical skills visa. The only problem is you can only apply for PR if you still hold a Study Visa (or another type of temporary permit).. I ended up applying for a critical skills visa first because my study visa had expired and I couldn't apply for PR while using a visitor's or tourist's visa. After I got my critical skills visa I applied for PR within a month after I came back to SA and it came out after 3-4 months.
Hy just wanna know if it happens u grow up here in SA but u dont hve the documents of ur parents Oringin nd u can't go to ur birth country no ur parents. What are the requirements having all the proof that u grow up here. To add reason u can't go bck to ur birth country coz u wre born as foreign thr too nd u dont have any document to use. Whats the solution in this i need help?!!!
Hi Terence. That’s quite a complex situation you have there. I’m not sure what sort documents they require as proof the best person to speak to is an immigration agency. There’s quite a few out there if you use Google. They usually have free consultation so it’s worth a shot.
This is unfortunate situation u find urself in,SA give kids country of birth but citizenship or permanent residency is traced through ur parents.that is y all after birth they give all 4reign mother's a paper to b processed by their embassy. So that u get all required documents or papers needed to stay in SA.UR embassy will give u better answers in situation like this
I used the same documentation I used for my critical skills visa. You can check out the video here (check the description for links to further details) - th-cam.com/video/iXoMwkea-XU/w-d-xo.html
I'm not the best person to confirm this but I think US$3,000 per month would be enough for proof of financial means... of course you have to make sure you meet all the other requirements of the specific visa/permit you applying for.
@@trying2adult is it possible to show that you're receiving a significantly large amount of money on a monthly basis from property rental income to get the rich man permit? I am British and my wife is Tunisian. It is objectively impossible to prove that your income is "guaranteed for the rest of your life" as even nation states that give their citizens pensions can become bankrupted, failed states. I have a letter from the government of Hong Kong promising me 32,000 Hong Kong dollars per month which is about 3500 dollars US. Can I get the permit and then swap it for permanent residency?
It is time to migrate to south africa. People are starving. Jobs do not recruit any more. twice as many homeless people in a short time. yet companies are closing down.

Sometimes not all job titles are listed there (my job title is not there for example) so she should also look for people in her field who have similar qualifications as her to find out which skills those guys used to get their visa.
But ultimately, if her qualifications are not under the Critical Skills then she will need to look at other avenues because getting a general work permit when you're not under the critical skills list is near impossible cos the hiring company will have to prove that they could not find any South African with similar qualifications. A lot of people who end up in this scenario sometimes sign up for a Masters Degree in SA which is considered a critical skill and then use that Masters Degree for applying for the critical skills visa...obviously you'd need to make sure that Masters Degree qualifies to be a critical skill...If she enjoys academics she might consider doing PhD. If you hold a PhD from a South African University you qualify for Permanent Residency.
@@trying2adult The masters degree sounds like a good idea. I'll let her know. Thanks for the recomms. 🙏
does the relative permit have any age limit?
Bro i am a moroccan and am thinking about moving to cape town and might be opening an busines like car wach ( around 50.000 $ ) can i get a permit residency
Hey Fahd. It’s pretty tough to open a business in SA as a foreigner. You need large investments (more than about US$400,000) and various other requirements. Your chances of getting permanent residency are pretty slim
trying2adult thanks for your quick reply
Hi there i am studying a DIP in HR and i checked on the critical skills and its not listed, does that mean i automatically dont qualify?
Hey Rachel. I really can't confirm hey but the list is not exhaustive. There are certain roles that qualify for the visa but can be called something else on the critical skills list ( a lot of careers in I.T for example). I would recommend that you call your professional body and ask them about whether you qualify for the visa. They are in a better position to address your question.
@@trying2adult thank you so much for your help,lovely and unique content keep it up🙂
financially independent permit, you have to wait 2 years for it!
Hi Ashely
I also apply mine this year January 2022 I am still waiting nothing as been changed on the vfs website still saying has been received at DHA … any suggestions or tips l will be much appreciated 👍
@@tomcarmar3739 well it all depends on your skin colour now... you need to be black
Hey Tino, what happens when your passport expires and you have a permanent res permit.. Do you have to apply for another permanent res permit to go with the new passport?
Passports are needed to travel internationally so if it expires, you’ll still be able to live in SA... but you’ll have to apply for a new passport from your home country. People are usually able to do this though their embassy or a consulate. It’s generally a good idea to always have your passport handy as a foreigner in any country. I’m not sure where there’s there’s laws against having an expired passport
@@trying2adult thank you man..
@@arnold2076 And once you have renewed your passport, you need to take it to home affairs for them to put that sticker that you are a permanent resident
also do you take donations to your chanel
My father got it do i qualify it
Hi tino, I’m planning to apply for permanent residency as I study a subject on critical skill list at uct. My study visa expires in Feb. I will graduate in December. Can I apply and then leave and wait outside the country ?
You won’t be allowed to apply and go wait in your home country for the visa. They actually don’t allow you to renew your visa (or upgrade it) within 60 days before it expires to prevent people from leaving the country before the visa is out. It takes about 3 weeks for the visa to come out though so you may be able to apply and not have to leave the country. One of my friends was able to apply for a Critical Skills VISA using a letter from his department that confirmed his graduation date and he was able to submit his application before graduation.
So helpful ! Thanks so much. For the visa I will need professional body registration confirmation though ? Would you recommend applying for a visa and then for pr ?
Either route will work, it depends on your own situation.
Yes you will need a South African professional body to give you a Critical Skills Clearance (them basically confirming that you have a critical skill, the right qualifications, and enough work experience)...
If you got your degree from a SA University then you can straight away apply for PR... it even has less requirements than the critical skills visa. The only problem is you can only apply for PR if you still hold a Study Visa (or another type of temporary permit).. I ended up applying for a critical skills visa first because my study visa had expired and I couldn't apply for PR while using a visitor's or tourist's visa. After I got my critical skills visa I applied for PR within a month after I came back to SA and it came out after 3-4 months.
If my father has RSA permit am i eligible to get it
Yep if he has a permanent resident permit then you are legible for the relative permit too. You should look it up!
Absolutely. You then qualify under S26 of the Immigration Act!
Hy just wanna know if it happens u grow up here in SA but u dont hve the documents of ur parents Oringin nd u can't go to ur birth country no ur parents.
What are the requirements having all the proof that u grow up here.
To add reason u can't go bck to ur birth country coz u wre born as foreign thr too nd u dont have any document to use.
Whats the solution in this i need help?!!!
Hi Terence. That’s quite a complex situation you have there. I’m not sure what sort documents they require as proof the best person to speak to is an immigration agency. There’s quite a few out there if you use Google. They usually have free consultation so it’s worth a shot.
This is unfortunate situation u find urself in,SA give kids country of birth but citizenship or permanent residency is traced through ur parents.that is y all after birth they give all 4reign mother's a paper to b processed by their embassy. So that u get all required documents or papers needed to stay in SA.UR embassy will give u better answers in situation like this
How long does it take to get SA ID...

How much did you spend to get the permit residency I’m new to the country can you assist me
It was a while ago now but I think I spent maybe at least R10K
@@trying2adult okay thanks can you list out requirements needed for resident permit
@@trying2adult can you mention requested documents
I used the same documentation I used for my critical skills visa. You can check out the video here (check the description for links to further details) - th-cam.com/video/iXoMwkea-XU/w-d-xo.html
Can İ get A permanent retirement residence with 3000 usd income per months...for my family...with 1 child.....
I'm not the best person to confirm this but I think US$3,000 per month would be enough for proof of financial means... of course you have to make sure you meet all the other requirements of the specific visa/permit you applying for.
@@trying2adult is it possible to show that you're receiving a significantly large amount of money on a monthly basis from property rental income to get the rich man permit? I am British and my wife is Tunisian. It is objectively impossible to prove that your income is "guaranteed for the rest of your life" as even nation states that give their citizens pensions can become bankrupted, failed states. I have a letter from the government of Hong Kong promising me 32,000 Hong Kong dollars per month which is about 3500 dollars US. Can I get the permit and then swap it for permanent residency?
Good on you for mentioning same sex couples.

Go home and leave us alone
It is time to migrate to south africa. People are starving. Jobs do not recruit any more. twice as many homeless people in a short time. yet companies are closing down. More housiing is empty because people cannot pay the bills. It's now or never. The government can move everybody with a grant of 5000 euros per person. We've lost trillions already so this will be a quick recompense.
