Immigration Advice for foreigners coming to South Africa

This project is the result of the activities of the Company for Immigration, a non-profit help service for immigrants which was founded in South Africa in 1949 and incorporated into AfriForum in 2006.

Immigration is essential for the economic growth of South Africa. Foreign nationals who wish to settle in South Africa can obtain free information from us about the relocation process, immigration documentation, circumstances and cost of living in the country.

You are most welcome to contact the Immigration Assistance and Advice Bureau at alana@afriforum.co.za. In your email please mention your email address, the topic on which you would like advice, of which country/countries you are a citizen and whether you have been to South Africa before. If you have been here previously, also mention when that was and whether you were in South Africa as a tourist, temporary resident, permanent resident or citizen.

You can download the latest issue of IMFO, our free brochure about life and the cost of living in South Africa here. It comprises approximately 17 A4 pages.
