7 ways to get South African Permanent Residency | trying2adult

I have been a South African permanent resident for about a year now and this permit comes with a lot of perks and benefits that you otherwise would not have access to as a temporary resident. The most common benefit being that you are considered a smaller risk to lenders and insurance companies. As a consequence, you get access to loans, mortgages and various other services that are not available to non-South Africans. The following are various types of permanent residence permits that are available in South Africa. The one I applied for is called a Critical Skills Permanent Residence Permit which I wrote in great detail about here : trying2adult.com/applying-for...
The 7 ways you can get South African Permanent Residency are as follows:
00:00 - Intro
02:04 - The rich people permit (financially independent permit)
02:36 - Retirement Permit
03:07 - Relatives Permit
03:54 - Spousal Permit
04:33 - Life-Partner Permit
05:00 - Business Permit
06:15 - The Work Permit
You can find the list of critical skills on page 12 of this gazette (couldn't fit them here) - www.dha.gov.za/images/immigrat...
In my opinion, the easiest way and fastest way to get permanent residence in south africa is to study a critical skill at a South Africa institution and you wont even need any form of work experience to get permanent residence... There is a high demand for critical skills in South Africa so with a bit of work there is a good chance you will find a good company to work for that is also willing to help you with the immigration hurdles you will face as you try to move to SA. As for which degrees to study, well there is quite a wide variety of them. Pretty much any engineering, built-environment, or IT degree will do. Most science degrees will also do. There a few commerce degrees you can study that can qualify you for this degree and unfortunately, I haven't come across an arts or law related degree that can qualify you...but then again I don't have much exposure there so let me know in the comments if you know of any.

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.

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.

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 ?

[@trying2adult]

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.

[@Dom0liver]

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 ?

[@trying2adult]

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.

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?

[@trying2adult]

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.

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.
