If you are financially independent, you may qualify to apply for South African Permanent Residence. To be eligible, the main applicant must demonstrate a net worth equivalent to at least R12,000,000.
Application Process and Fees
Once your application is adjudicated by the South African visa offices, you will be required to pay a once-off administrative fee of R120,000 before the permanent residence permit can be issued. After this payment, the permit will be granted, allowing you to live in South Africa as a permanent resident.
Processing Time
It is important to note that the adjudication process for financially independent permanent residence applications typically takes a considerable amount of time, often 4 to 5 years or longer.
