South African Immigration
We offer assistance with all your needs for South African immigration, whether you are a first-time applicant submitting from abroad, renewing or changing a condition to your current temporary residency visa or applying for permanent residency.
US Immigration
If you wish to live and work in the United States of America, we can assist with your outbound immigration process. We provide tailored solutions for qualified applicants who wish to temporarily or permanently live and work in the USA.
Permanent Residency Permits, once obtained, allow the holder to have a South African identity number and the comfort of knowing that they no longer need to renew temporary visas.
To live in South Africa as a temporary resident, it is crucial to apply for a temporary residency visa. All temporary residency visas vary in duration but can be for a period of three months up to five years, depending on the purpose of the visit. There is a closed list of categories for temporary residency and so an applicant must carefully consider both what they are eligible for and what they intend to do in South Africa.

As this is a short-term visa under the tourism category of visas, no change of status or condition from a short-term work visa to a more long-term visa can be done within the country.

“ June was excellent at providing guidance and assistance through the confusing and complex process of application for visas in South Africa. She is very knowledgeable and provides great service. I unfortunately experienced many issues with other immigration consultants; all of them were resolved instantly once June was appointed. She takes care of all our visas at ILB Helios ever since, and I highly recommend her for immigration-related services.
