My son-in-law (married to a SAC) works online as a freelancer for a US company and earns money into his US bank account. We are wondering if he can apply for a Relative’s visa (Spouse) which does not allow you to work in SA, but still continue working online and earning money that is not generated from SA? And if so, could this income count towards the financial assurance needed to apply for the Relative's visa?
I believe the alternative would be for his wife to prove that she can support him financially. But she only earns around R8000 - R9000 per month.
Another alternative would be for him to apply for a Visitors Visa 11.6 (reside with SAC and work). He does have a job offer, but it's temporary work and he would only earn R3000 per month to start with.
Which route should we go? We want to make sure that his application is successful.
Any advice welcome!
