Place of Submission
Generally, an application may be submitted at the South African mission in the applicant’s country of origin or permanent residence. Depending on the respective mission’s authority, the application can be processed and finalised there, or it needs to be referred to the Department’s Head Office in Pretoria, South Africa.
Alternatively, a foreigner who is already in South Africa can submit to the nearest office of the Department an application for extension of his/her permit or for a change of status, for instance from the status of visitor to that of worker, student, retiree or business owner.
It is not anymore advisable for foreigners to enter the country as tourists and to then apply for a permit which is in line with their intended activities, as the application may be rejected if the impression is created that the foreigner entered the country with the intention to change his/her status.
