owning property on temp visa

Sedge63 · Jul 17, 2014

If we are lucky enough to be granted a temporary retirement visa we were hoping to buy a house in SA. Firstly will be be eligible to own property in SA and secondly on a temporary visa will be be able to receive rental income if we own a house with enough accommodation to rent out?

Many thanks x

Hi! As per law, one is not allowed to own or purchase property on any temporary visa in SA.

I am pretty certain that you can own or purchase property on a TR visa.

I have bought both house and automobile while on a tourist visa only. I have also rented out the house while not in residence. Many of the properties in my area are owned by non resident foreigners as holiday homes or rental properties,

Thanks for that :cheer2

Agree with the above if you are paying cash. Otherwise it will be impossible.

Cheers,
