That's not true. Tourist visa can be changed to some certain permits while in SA

Yes so long as the spouse is a permanent resident or SA Citizen.

If the spouse is on a TRV, it ain't possible.

Stop lying or deceiving him. It’s not possible. You do realize you need a valid permit to push in for change of status? Only way out is through marriage. Being a Nigerian is going to be difficult for you. We caused it.

I’d advise go back to Nigeria. And apply through studies. It’s very easy to change status via student permit to any other category of permit.

Don’t let those dubious permit agent to deceive you, by saying they would put a fake permit on your passport, and apply for you. Folks at Home Affairs know that’s what these dubious permit agent do, and when they find out. It’s 5 years ban for you and immediate arrest and deportation from the country. You’ll be sent to Nimdela by immigration services. To be forewarned, is to be forearmed.

Apparently reading and comprehension is a very big challenge for you. Didn't you read where I wrote that the spouse must be a citizen or permanent resident? Did the person say he was in status or out of status?

Let me educate since you want to be deliberately ignorant.

Under SA immigration law, visitors visa is under section 11(1) this category of visa can only change to section 11(6) which is spousal visa (married to an SA citizen or permanent resident.

Ideally, the person should have a valid visa but where this isn't the case, an immigration lawyer can file for a letter of good cause. There are absolutely no guarantees on the outcome but if it's successful, the person can submit an application for consideration.

He/she asked a general question to which I correctly answered and you are mentioning me spewing trash.
Be guided please.

If you have a valid visa, you can get married at home affairs then file for change of status.

There has been a lot of back and forth about whether a visitor can change status to a spousal visa while still in SA.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is Constitutional Court's Judgement in South Africa affirming that this is permissible.

For those who can't read, the only change of status allowed for people who are on a valid visitors visa in SA is to change to spousal visa
