Permanent Residence

Hello Everyone,

I've been living in South Africa for seven years on student visas and applied for permanent residence at the beginning of this year. My student visa runs out at the end of this year and I will return to the UK while I wait on the permanent residence application. Is it possible for me to collect my certificate without a valid South African visa if my application is successful?

Any info on this would be much appreciated.

Hi SB123,

Pardon my curiosity, but did you find a solution to your issue with the PR?

I have a friend in identical circumstances.

Cheers,

Zenani
