Hi Bobo,

Are you on a life partner permit or spousal permit?

With all the changes that have taken place its hard to say for certain. I would therefore advise to contact an immigration practicioner or lawyer to get the latest information on your particular situation.

For some general information please read the Visas for South Africa.

Kind regards,

Shantalie
