Previous Citizenship
In specific cases, former South African citizens have an automatic right to permanent residence.
There are many cases where the original South African citizenship is still intact in spite of the holder having taken up the citizenship of another country. Where a citizenship by birth, however, has been lost the former holder thereof often has an automatic right to permanent residence, which right needs to be officially confirmed. The situation is similar in the cases of former holders of Namibian (i.e. South West African) AND South African citizenship and whose South African citizenship was withdrawn due to political changes.
Previous Permanent Residence
Persons who have been granted a permanent residence at some point in time and who have given up their residence in South Africa, but wish to take it up again will find it worth their while to have the validity of their original permits tested. Since the information to be given and the statements to be made in the relevant application for confirmation of permanent residence are often from the applicant’s memory only, but vital in determining the application result, a consultation with an immigration expert is particularly advisable.
