Default Life Partner Visa

Hi,

Can anyone help me on the below point.

We are same sex couple and I want to apply for life partner's Visa in SA. Currently I have a divorce procedure in my country of origin, and I want to know if this affects my application for Life Partner's Visa.

Thanks for you response.

I guess either contact SA High Commision in your own country or The Department of Home Affairs in SA. I'm sure it's a question that would be asked a lot.

Hi mistermarc,

Thanks for your help, but I have tried, without any answer, as the phone is always busy or no one replies. No more a surprise I guess!

Anyone help please!! I need an urgent reply as I'm submitting my application next week.
Thanks

Hi,

I have been trying to get hold of DHA, but in vain. I want to know if my application would be affected by the fact that I have a divorce procedure in my country of Origin. I am busy preparing my application for Life partner Visa, will submit this week.

Thanks very much for your help.

Hi

I can assist you.

Your divroce first needs to be settled before you can apply for a Life Partner Permit. If the application is submitted before the process is completed and Home Affairs finds out about it, your permit will be cancelled.

The application is a legal process, and just as much as you cannot marry someone else while still married, you will not be allowed to apply for a Life Partner permit, while still legally married to another person.
