Hello Everyone,
I'm an Australian in a relationship with a South African Citizen, I am currently Applying for Temporary Residence and getting confused by the conflicting terminology used. I want to apply for a Life Partner Permit with a business endorsement. What I have found I need to do is:
1. BI-1738 Temporary Residence Form - Relative's Permit
2. BI-1712A Form 12 Spousal Affidavit
3. BI-84 Visa Application
4. BI-811 Medical
Plus Police check, Proof of Cohabitation, Financial attachment....blahblahblah....
My question is what form do I need to fill out to get the endorsement to start a Sole Proprietory business? As I've been advised this is possible, even the Life Partner information on the government website says a life partner can study or start a small business, but I can't find any actual information...
All the literature states that another BI-1738 form must be filled out for Own Business. But I don't need to employ 5 staff within two years and don't have 2.5 million Rand. I've been a sole trader in Australia for 20yrs.
I've been advised by one Immigration Law firm that an Endorsement is all I need, and another telling me it's the full Business application...
Can I get some other advice?
Thank you
