                  Travelling with your South African permanent residence certificate

                  Travelling with your South African permanent residence certificate Reviewed by Intergate Immigration South Africa on Nov 30 Rating: 4.5 New South African Permanent Residency Process New South African Permanent Residency Process

                  

                  In 2015 the process for issuing proof of South African permanent residence changed.

                  Up to that point, permanent residents received a stamp or sticker in their passport as endorsement of their residency status.

                  The change saw a scrapping of the endorsement and instead permanent residents started to only receive their permanent residence certificates.

                  A lot of permanent residents became dissatisfied when they realised it complicates travelling. It was simple to travel with a passport with an endorsement.

                  Travelling with a permanent residence certificate that could get lost? A whole different ballgame.

                  What do I need to be aware of?

                  You must take your permanent residence certificate whenever you travel outside of South Africa.

                  What if I currently have an endorsement (stamp or sticker) in my passport?

                  If you still have a permanent resident stamp or sticker in your passport, you can prepare for one of two scenarios at border control:

                  • You may not be granted entry into South Africa as a permanent resident without presenting the permanent residence certificate to confirm your status; or
                  • You get lucky and you’re let into South Africa without a hitch.

                  Our advice? Always carry your permanent residence certificate with you.

                  What else can I do, other than carry my South African permanent residence certificate?

                  It’s understandable that you do not want to carry your original permanent residence certificate with you at all times. Unfortunately if it gets lost, your certificate cannot be reissued. You can only apply for your status to be confirmed and this is generally a lengthy process.

                  The good news is that immigration officials have, to date, accepted certified copies of permanent residence certificates. You can use your South African ID to serve as further proof of your status, however, an ID alone is not sufficient.

                  Can Intergate Immigration help with ID book applications?

                  No, unfortunately we do not, as ID book applications must be made in person.

                  What if I have more questions?

                  What happens after you get South African PR?

                  

                  After years of waiting, you’ve received the outcome of your permanent residence application. You open the envelope with bated breath…and you’re elated to see that the wait was worth it. Your PR has been approved!

                  But, what happens now?

                  This is a question we get often from our clients. Some aren’t sure if there’s anything left to do while others don’t know their rights and responsibilities as South African permanent residents.

                  The good news is that you’ve put all the hard work behind you once you get your PR status. There is very little left to do and you enjoy just about every right that citizens do.

                  We’re going to explore this in detail below by answering these questions:

                  • What is permanent residence?
                  • What serves as proof of my PR status?
                  • What are the benefits of being a permanent resident?
                  • What are my rights?
                  • What are my responsibilities?

                  What is ‘South African permanent residence’?

                  Permanent residence entitles you to stay and reside in South Africa indefinitely although you are not a citizen. You’ll usually apply for permanent residence after obtaining temporary residence.

                  What serves as proof of my PR status?

                  The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) issues all successful permanent resident applicants with a PR certificate as proof of their status within South Africa.

                  Please note that your PR certificate is only issued once. We recommend that you carry a certified copy while keeping the original in a safe place. The only instance where you must show the original is when you travel internationally.

                  Should you lose your PR certificate, you’ll be able to apply for a Proof of PR. This Proof of PR will take 6 to 12 months to process. Instead of a certificate, you’ll receive a letter issued by the DHA to confirm your PR status.

                  What are the benefits of being a permanent resident?

                  Life is so much simpler as a South African permanent resident! Here’s why we say this:

                  • You are free to apply for jobs, move freely between employers, and change job titles.
                  • You can take up any sort of studies, even part-time or short courses.
                  • You can set up a business without having to first apply for a business visa.
                  • Visa applications and renewals, and the uncertainty surrounding them, are a thing of the past!

                  In addition to this, your first-kin family members can also apply for permanent residence based on your status. These family members are your spouse or life partner, children, and parents.

                  Please note that your children born in South Africa after you’ve received PR do not automatically get South African citizenship or permanent residency. Instead, your children are eligible to apply for relatives’ temporary and permanent residence based on your PR status. This should be done once your child’s birth has been registered and you’ve received their passport from your home country.

                  We wrote extensively about this topic on our blog. Read the article here.

                  What are my rights?

                  You enjoy the same rights as a South African citizen when you’re a permanent resident, except for the right to vote and the right to hold a South African passport. These rights are reserved for South African citizens only.

                  You will, however, be able to apply for a South African ID and driver’s license:

                  Applying for your ID

                  Your South African ID is important if you intend to live in South Africa permanently. Without an ID number, you may not be able to, for instance, apply for a credit card or a bond, or take out a cell phone contract.

                  Intergate does not assist with ID applications, but you can read more about applying for your ID on the DHA’s website.

                  Applying for your driver’s license

                  You must convert your foreign driving license to a South African one within a year of receiving your PR status. If you fail to do this, your driver’s license will be regarded as invalid.

                  Intergate does not assist with converting or applying for driver’s licenses. You can get more information on how to convert your license on the South African government website.

                  What are my responsibilities?

                  While your permanent resident status does not expire and remain valid indefinitely, you must not remain outside of South Africa for more than three years at a time. The DHA may withdraw your status if you leave South Africa for 3 years or longer.

                  In the following instances, you’ll also have to confirm that you still meet the permanent resident requirements:

                  • Business: You’ll have to do a ‘confirmation of business’ within two years of receiving PR and again three years after the first confirmation. You’ll have to prove that:
                    • You’ve made the stipulated investment in the business.
                    • The business is still running.
                    • You’re still employing the required number of South Africans.

                    Our client managers can take you through these requirements in detail if you’re a client of ours. If you’re not a client but seeking guidance on South African permanent residence, please give us a call on 021 424 2460 or enquire online to speak with a consultant.
