Applying for a South African business permit often referred to as an entrepreneur permit or investor permit allows foreign nationals to immigrate to South Africa based on a substantial investment being made in a new or existing business venture. Because of its diversified culture and, lots of immigrants from different parts of the world, South Africa is a place where there is lot of scope for any business to flourish. South Africa being developing country, is in need for foreign funds so, it welcomes investments from foreign countries and extends full support by in allocation of various resources.
The South African business visa is one of many temporary resident visas for South Africa which allows a foreign national to migrate to South Africa for an agreed period. The South Africa business visa equates most directly to the UK investor visa and the USA EB-5 visa, both of which are based upon a candidate possessing sufficient business acumen and capital to successfully begin a commercial enterprise. South African business visas are granted for a period of twenty-four months, which can be extended indefinitely provided, South African Business Visa requirements are continuously met. In addition, like South African work permits, business permit holders may ultimately apply for a permanent residence permit.
According to South African government rules, candidates applying for South African Business Permit should exhibit good entrepreneurial skills, must submit a business plan with minimum investment of 2.5 million African Rands, and promise to employ minimum 5 South African Citizens or Residents apart from other requirements.
In addition, if the business falls in line with the following sectors, a request for a capital reduction can be made.
Beyond these criteria, candidates immigrating to South Africa via this route must also satisfy the following requirements:
In some cases, business permits may be revoked if an enterprise does not continue to perform satisfactorily.
In general, South African investor visas or entrepreneur visas are grouped within the temporary residence permit classification.
However, since South African visas of this class can be extended and may ultimately lead to permanent residence in South Africa, it is likely that successful candidates establishing or investing in a South African business will be present in the country for some years if not indefinitely.
As a result, spouse and dependent immigration are permitted and the spouse or partner and dependent children may accompany the principle applicant to South Africa. Dependents will be granted visitor visa status to immigrate to South Africa for the same length of time as that granted to the business permit holder.

Applying for a South African spousal permit or South African life-partner permit enables the husband, wife or long-term partner of a South African permanent resident or a person in possession of South African citizenship to migrate to South Africa on the basis of their relationship.
The South Africa immigration structure makes no distinction between heterosexual and same sex relationships and married partners or life partners may apply equally.
Where candidates wish to apply for spouse immigration or life-partner immigration as a permanent option, the key additional requirement is that the applicant must have been married to or in a life relationship with the sponsoring South African permanent resident or South African citizen for a period of five years. In addition, where candidates immigrating to South Africa are granted permanent residency, the applicant will need to demonstrate two years after the permit is issued that the relationship is still in existence. At this stage, a permanent resident’s permit can be revoked if evidence of this is not satisfactorily supplied. After a total of five years, the permit will no longer be subject to the continued existence of the relationship and cannot be withdrawn because of a change in marital or relationship status. Due to the fact that a permanent residency permit can take up to two years to issue a common practice is to apply for temporary residence whilst simultaneously applying for permanent resident status.
Applying for a South African spousal visa whether through the temporary or permanent route will in most cases result in the applicant’s permanent settling in South Africa. As a result, the South African spouse visa makes provision for applicants to seek and engage in employment in the country. Successful applicants may start a business; undertake a job or study in South Africa once an endorsement is granted from the Department of Home Affairs.
