Good day,
I’ve heard of rumors about the Permanent Residency law is being changed too. Honestly I do understand the changes been made in the Life Partner Permit ans mostly actually agree with it. However I do believe the changes needed elsewhere too. Like for example making sure the people who comes into the country, they truly come for work purposes, not to sell drugs or do other illegal activities. That is one of the biggest issue I believe.
I live in SA for the last 6-7 years now and have a wife and a child (both citizens of SA) and about to go for the Permanent Residency. Is it true I cannot get Permanent Residency through my son anymore? I would like to start a security related business – which I strongly believe one of the other issue in this country – and I have to be a Permanent Resident in order to register with P.S.I.R.A.
Regards,
Krisztian
