Hi Richard..I was married in Taiwan ( still am ) to a Taiwanese citizen..Apparently 30 days is ample time.
Wife says you have to be in the country 3 days then apply for a marriage licence at city hall.She says it is no big deal.
In my case I returned to the USA & it took a year for her to get a pernament entry visa to the States..Don't know the lw in S.A.
Let me know..Ron

Richard..Forgot, I had a visitor visa too..You'll probably need a birth certificate..Ask her to check these things out.

I will add, if you were married before you will need the documents stating that you are divorced.
