We are 2 guys. One Cameroonian and one South African. It has taken over 3 months to get a visa from the SA Embassy in Cameroon. They come up with so many excuses and if you don't persist - or get so tired after the 11th visit - they hope you will go away and nothing will happen.
We are in a relationship and plan to get married soon so that we can both live in Cape Town in peace. As a Cameroonian he will be jailed for a minimum of 5 years because he gay. So he needs to keep this very quiet so that his life is not in danger. Please help with your best advice.
2 GUYS - ONE Camerooian ONE South African. Which way now?

Hi wayneishappy
Sorry for the late reply - I would suggest that you apply for this in South Africa to avoid the legal issues you speak about in your home country. Take a holiday and plan it well. Permits are coming much faster out of Home Affairs now. You can search on Google and find many immigration companies that can help you - only accept the free advice from immigration lawyers - ignore the rest.
Good luck!
