Frequently Asked Questions on Immigration to South Africa
Permanent residence means you are allowed to live in South Africa indefinitely, with unlimited right to work, engage in business, own property, study and do any of the things a citizen can do except cast a vote in an election.

How and where do I apply for permanent residence/immigration in/to South Africa ?

Frequently Asked Questions
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. See similar questions...

You must then head to the South African Police Service firearm control office and register your firearm with the SAPS using SAPA Form 520. This is a little time consuming because it is a long form.
