Direct residence permits
This category of permit is applicable to foreigners who have been residing in South Africa on the basis of their work permits for a minimum period of five years, their spouses and also to dependents of South African citizens/permanent residence permit holders.
To apply for a direct residency permit you need to complete Form BI-947.
Residency-on-other-grounds permits
This category of permits applies to foreigners who:
are in possession of a permanent work offer in South Africa, or
have exceptional skills and qualifications
intend to establish a business in South Africa
qualify as Refugees in terms of Section 27(c) of the Refugees Act
qualify as retired persons
are financially independent
are relatives (biologically or judicially adopted) of a South African citizen/permanent residence permit holder
You can apply for all Permanent Residency Permits at the Department of Home Affairs, at the nearest office in the South African province in which you intend to live and work. Alternatively, if you are based overseas, you can apply at your nearest South African embassy, mission or cunsulate in the country in which you live.

Please do it yourself, you don't need an agent. You can budget between 250k - 350k, to cover SAQA evaluation, Membership of professional body, Visa application fees, Critical skill assessment by professional body. etc.

Hello Everyone,

Please help!!! I did my honours and Masters full time in SA. I'm doing my PhD now. I have the proof that my discipline is on the critical scarce skill list. I made an attempt to complete an online application for PR (extra ordinary skill). By the list I got the list of required documents, "a valid critical skill visa" is among. My existing visa is "study visa", I have never applied for critical skill. Please, would you advise that I proceed with the PR application? If I'm to change the application to critical skill visa application (by change of condition in the existing visa), will that not lead to the cancellation of my current study visa which I might use to register with the university next year? Please help me. God bless!

For you to apply for PR under extra ordinary skill, you will need evidence of Critical Skill Visa as a requirement. Firstly you need to apply for Critical Skill Visa and later apply for PR. Critical Skill Visa allows you to study only on part time basis.Not necessarily a cancellation of your study visa but my advise is for you to complete your studies before you change conditions on your visa or apply for new Critical skill visa.

On the other hand, How many years is left for you to round up? If you have a critical skill visa, do you know it allows you not to pay medical insurance again till you finish your Ph.D.? Ph.D. is regarded as a part-time programme because it's a research programme.
