Foreign Nationals (temporary residents) may apply for local financial assistance, including a mortgage/bond for the purchase of residential property. Such mortgage/bond is not restricted and depending on the standing of the client, can be 100% of the purchase price of the property. The granting of any borrowing facility is subject to the approval of the Lending Manager in the branch of the bank where the foreign national holds his/her account.

Non-residents can own property partially or wholly, in their own names or through ownership of an interest in one or other forms of legal entity such as a Company, a Close Corporation (CC) or a trust. There is no restriction in South Africa on the ownership of property by non-residents. Non-residents should ensure that their title deeds are endorsed "non-resident" so that, when the property is eventually sold by them, they have no difficulty repatriating the proceeds.

Non-residents may bring money into South Africa without restriction and may borrow up to a maximum of 50% of the total investment cost associated with any property purchased in South Africa. more

Our advise is limited to immigration procedure. In this regard, the Immigration Act 13 of 200 does not place any restrictions on clients who wish to purchase property in South Africa. The Immigration Act does however regulate foreigner's admission, residence in and departure from the Republic. In other words the fact that a client intends to purchase or has already purchased a house in South Africa does not affect or influence the above-named regulatory process.
