We know once you’re in South Africa you don’t really want to go back and permanent residence is not always an option. Sometimes you just need a few months more to soak up the South African sun with an extension on your temporary visa.

We know an extension can be very exciting and yet a very daunting exercise. Completing renewal forms and submitting in time is important. You have to apply at least 30 days before the expiry date of your temporary visa. It is possible to submit after the last 30 days but that just calls for extra paper work, which we here at New World Immigration can do for you. All we need is an signature. Please note that no submission will be accepted after the expiry date of your visa.

To process an extension it usually takes up to 30 days. The government fees also varies and that all depends on the type of temporary visa you hold. The validity of the extension also depends on your current visa and your status.

The possibility of getting a successful extension is always high when you submit in time, have a valid reason and all your paperwork were done correctly. Al three of these factors can be 100% correct if you make use of the New World Immigration services as your success reflects their success.

Before you apply for the relevant extension please check that the terms on your current visa allows you to apply for an extension. As they carefully examine the terms set when you entered the country.
