LLP from London

Hello Daphne33.

Welcome to Expat.com!

Hope other members will be able to help you.

Thank you,
Aurélie

If you already have a job offer, then they will need to leave the categories blank and apply for a section 11 (6), which is a visitor's permit with work authorization on the basis of a life partner relationship with a South African Citizen.

1)      If you are planning to apply for a life partners permit in London first, then only once you have arrived in Cape Town, you want to get the permit endorsed, then you need to apply for a section 18 – Relatives permit now. Once you have received a job offer in Cape Town, you would then need to submit an application for a change of status and apply for a section 11 (6).

2)      If you are couriering your application into the embassy or sending RMSD,  you need to send in your original passport, as they issue the permit in your passport. You only need to send in a certified copy of your birth certificate.

3)      You definitely need to send in a set of copies of every document submitted.

4)      All payment must be in a form of money order or bank certified check.

Thank you for your message! That is really helpful.
No job offer yet, haven't really focused on that too much yet as first just want to get the visa sorted and get to SA and than ill focus on that!
I do hope that if I send I'm my passport is doesn't take long than 30 days as mentioned on home affairs SA London embassy website otherwise I can't even leave the uk.
Again thank you!
