Getting Started
 

Hi,
I have only just put the wheels in motion today to move to South Africa with my girlfriend. We live in London now but she is from CT.
I have spoken to a company called Global Visas who say they can get me set up with a job and the correct visas and all that is required to live legally in South Africa with my partner, for £1800.
Has anyone had any dealings with this company, or his type of company before? The charge seems steep but a necessary investment as I dont know where to start. Is it good value?

Thanks in advance for any info, I apologise if this an uneducated and disjointed question.

Hi and Welcome to BE. :)

If your GF is from CT then she obviously knows how things are and work over there. Things will be easier for you. I don't know about visa requirements, but some will hopefully be along soon enough to help. :)

Thats sounds a bit too good to be true.
There are many visa cmpanies out there offering people the world. Unfortunately they never seem to live up to their promises. Personally I would do it myself.

Agree with that. As long as you have patience, common sense and a degree of intelligence, it can be done. Rather use the cash as down payment on a car or for moving costs.

But - dealing with South African Home Affairs can be a trying experience. Good luck.
