I know this has been discussed before, but I thought I'd start a new topic to help others who might be looking for similar info. My partner and I are heading towards the final stages of completing our documents for our Life Partner Permit ...

I am currently in South Africa on a student visa. My boyfriend and I are very serious and very much in love! We started seeing each other in July 2013. I want to get a temporary residence visa. I am not planning on staying here after it expires, but ...

You'll also need a notarial agreement. Which sounds far more intimidating than it is. Google will help you. Read More

From an evidence perspective, my best advice is get a paper trail. Leases, cohabitation agreement (I can send you a template if you PM me) bills in both your names, accounts in one person's name (phone account for instance) with the other one ... Read More

Not sure, to be honest, but think you might have some issues with the life partner status. Since this is the visa the most often abused, you need to be "living a relationship akin to marriage" for two years. Ie - in the same house, under ... Read More

Well, I arrived in July. There is proof of that (visa, ticket, study-abroad program duration). We met in our dorm. So there is proof that we lived in the same place. I can also get a bunch of character witnesses who will attest to our relationship. ... Read More

Temporary Spousal Visa by MarkHWilliams
Hi, Sorry to post a new topic on something that I'm sure has been discussed. I have searched around for a long time and found nothing that answered my questions or that wasn't outdated by the new legislation. Simply, what do we need to do ...

Mark, have you applied for anything from the UK yet? And, if so, how long did it take? Wondering what's the processing time. I've been told from somebody who did the Life Partner route and applied from the UK that it took them six months to ... Read More


Life Partner Visa by Steph89
Hi, Im planning on moving to SA at the end of the year to be with my boyfriend. I think the visa I should be applying for is a life partner visa. Does anybody know if it is necessary to have work secured(ie. a contract signed by an employer) before ...

Excellent news on the leases. Big help, thanks very much. We're starting to look at documents we need to fill in now. Just to clarify, does the Life Partner Visa = a relatives permit? I can't seem to find anything else on SA House UK that ... Read More

We cohabit when we are together in each other's respective countries. We have a lease in both our names in the UK and in SA, but neither of us can spend more than six months in each other's country. So how are we supposed to cohabbit? ... Read More

I'm wondering if somebody can advise on the best course of action for me with the new rules now requiring an interview. Mainly, I'm wondering whether both parties have to be present in the same country to conduct the interview? My situation ... Read More
