Immigrating to South Africa is an exciting opportunity but at the same time this can be your greatest challenge. Every year, South Africa welcomes thousands of new residents who either immigrate permanently or temporarily.
Applying for your visa or permit is a daunting and complex process, especially with the new immigration rules being amended to the immigration act. Therefore it’s at your best interest to let New World Immigration facilitate this entire process for you as we provide a variety of immigration services and with one objective in mind – to see your visa approved in the quickest way possible.
A prospective immigrant should always plan well in advance as immigration to South Africa does take time. The department of home affairs has improved vastly in certain areas, but delays are common and a temporary residence permit may even take up to 4 months to be processed. As quoted on home affairs website, permanent residency applications should take up to 6 months to be processed but currently it’s closer to the 2 year mark. So applications need to be lodged in advance to avoid delays.
South African immigration can be confusing and totally frustrating, but engaging professional help such as New World Immigration will be very rewarding.
