A Relative’s Visa in South Africa allows individuals to join their immediate family members who are either citizens or permanent residents of the country. Under this visa category, kinship within the second step is recognised, which includes parents, children, and siblings. The visa is designed to enable family reunification, providing a pathway for relatives to reside in South Africa for an extended period.

The application for a Relative’s Visa requires proof of the familial relationship, such as birth certificates or other legal documentation. Additionally, the South African resident or citizen must provide an undertaking to financially support the applicant during their stay. It’s important to note that this visa does not permit the holder to engage in employment unless they apply for a separate work authorisation.

A Spousal or Life Partnership Visa under Section 11(6) of the Immigration Act is specifically for foreign spouses or life partners of South African citizens or permanent residents. This visa provides a legal avenue for those in a recognised spousal or long-term partnership to live in South Africa. Unlike the standard visitor’s visa, Section 11(6) permits the holder to engage in employment, study, or business activities while residing in the country, provided they receive the necessary endorsement.

The application process involves providing proof of the genuine and sustained nature of the relationship, such as marriage certificates for spouses or affidavits for life partners. Additionally, the couple may be required to demonstrate shared financial responsibilities and cohabitation.

A Medical Treatment Visa allows foreign nationals to travel to South Africa for the purpose of receiving medical care. Whether it's for elective surgery, specialised treatment, or long-term medical care, this visa is designed to facilitate access to South Africa’s world-class healthcare facilities. The visa is issued for the specific duration of the treatment, typically not exceeding six months, and may be extended under certain circumstances.

Applicants must provide documentation from a South African medical practitioner or institution outlining the details of the treatment and its expected duration.
