SA Migration International Temporary residence visa

My husband and I applied for temporary residence so we could settle with the kids. Doing it ourselves was too overwhelming, so we went with SA Migration International.

They were patient, clear, and always explained what each step meant. I wasn’t just thinking about myself, I was worried about schools, the kids’ future, everything. SAMI understood that.

When the visa came through, it felt like we could finally breathe. If you’ve got a family and need stability, this is who you want in your corner.

SA Migration International Last minute study visa save

I was stressing so much about getting my study visa in time for uni. Honestly thought I’d miss registration.

SAMI broke it all down for me, told me exactly what documents I needed, and guided me through the whole thing. No judgment, no confusion, just proper help.

By the time classes started, my visa was sorted. I could focus on getting into res and buying textbooks instead of chasing paperwork. Couldn’t be happier

SA Migration International Financial independence visa

As someone who’s built my independence over the years, I wanted a service that respected my time and privacy. SA Migration International were precise, professional, and incredibly discreet.

They outlined exactly what financial proof was needed, checked everything thoroughly, and made sure my application was bulletproof. The process was long, as expected, but never chaotic.

Now that I’m settled with my visa, I can actually enjoy life here without worrying about admin. This was handled to the highest standard.

SA Migration International Citizenship Visa

After years of living here, South Africa really feels like home. Applying for citizenship was a huge step for me, and I was nervous about getting it wrong.

SAMI guided me through the process carefully. They knew every document required, when to submit, and what the officials would look for. It wasn’t always easy, the waiting is tough but they were always a step ahead.

When I finally got my citizenship approved, I can’t explain the pride I felt. This country is my home now, officially. I couldn’t have done it without their support

SA Migration International Permanent residence journey

I’ve been living in South Africa for years on temporary permits, and the uncertainty was exhausting. Finally decided to go for permanent residency and asked SAMI to take it on.

This is not a quick process, and I went in knowing that. What I appreciated was how they managed my expectations. They didn’t make wild promises, they just gave me a clear plan and stuck to it. They kept the paperwork clean, guided me on police clearances, medicals, all of it.

It took time, but I now have permanent residency in hand. That feeling of security, of knowing I belong here, is worth every cent. Absolutely a five-star service

I won’t lie, applying for a life partner visa is a bit of a mission. They want so much proof, photos, bills, letters, the whole story of your relationship in paperwork. I wouldn’t have managed without SAMI. Yeah, there were times I had to nudge them for updates, but when they did get back to me, everything was spot on. Not a single mistake in the...

SA Migration International Business Visa experience with SAMI

Running a business is all about time and efficiency, so the last thing I wanted was to waste either fighting with red tape. That’s why I chose SA Migration International for my business visa.

They cut straight to the point: here’s the list of documents, here’s the structure we’ll follow, and here’s the realistic timeline. No fluff. I appreciated that because I was setting up operations at the same time. They handled the legal side, I handled my company. Perfect division of labour.

Visa came through, business launched without delay, and I didn’t lose weeks chasing forms. For me, that’s value.

SA Migration International Temporary residence visa experience

My husband and I needed a temporary residence visa so we could settle in properly with our kids. Dealing with Home Affairs on our own was just too stressful, so we turned to SA Migration International.

What stood out to me was how patient they were. They understood that I wasn’t just worried about myself but about the whole family — schools, stability, the future. They checked all the forms twice, explained what each step meant, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks.

When the approval came, the relief was incredible. We could finally breathe and plan ahead. To anyone with a family trying to do this, SAMI really does make the process manageable

SA Migration International Finacially independence visa

As someone who has worked hard to secure my financial independence, I wanted the process of moving to South Africa to reflect that level of professionalism. SA Migration International did not disappoint.

They were meticulous in guiding me through the documentation required, bank statements, proof of investments, everything. I appreciated their discretion and the fact that they treated my time with respect. The process was lengthy, but that was expected; what mattered was that it was handled with precision.

Now, with my visa secured, I can enjoy my home here without worrying about administrative nightmares. A very professional service, well worth five stars

SA Migration International Spouse and life partner visa

My partner and I applied for a life partner visa using SA Migration International. We did get approved, which is the main thing, but the journey there tested our patience a few times. There were stretches where we didn’t hear much back, and I had to follow up more than once to know what was happening. For something this personal, that can feel stressful.

That being said, they know the ins and outs of the system. Every document they asked us to submit was spot on, nothing bounced back, nothing rejected. And when I finally got through to speak with someone, they were straight to the point and explained things in detail.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was effective. If you’re considering them, just be prepared to do a bit of chasing along the way. At the end of the day, the visa came through, and that’s what matters most

Not going to sugarcoat it, applying for a business visa through SAMI tested my patience. Some weeks I wasn’t sure if anything was moving. But here’s the thing: when the paperwork mattered, they got it right. Everything was done properly and the visa was approved. If you use them, just know it might not always feel smooth, but you’ll get there in the end

SA Migration International Study visa

I did get my study visa in the end, so I can’t fault them on the outcome. The road there, though, was a bit bumpy. Sometimes emails took a while to get answered, and I wasn’t sure if things were moving forward. When I managed to speak to them, the advice was solid and clear. So yes, they got the job done, but it required some patience on my side

SA Migration International Finacially Independence Visa

I went with SAMI for my financially independent visa. The process did work out and I got my visa in the end, but it wasn’t always smooth. They knew the requirements and gave good advice, but sometimes I had to chase them for updates, which was stressful considering how important this visa is. Still, they got me across the finish line, just wish the communication had been a bit tighter

SA Migration International My tourist extension visa help from sami

Applied for a tourist visa extension through SA Migration because I wasn’t ready to leave South Africa just yet — especially with summer coming up. I was really eager to spend more time in Cape Town and finally hike up Table Mountain, something I’d been looking forward to since I arrived. SA Migration made the extension process straightforward and stress-free. They helped with the paperwork and explained the timelines clearly. Communication was quick and to the point, which I appreciated. The extension was approved without any issues, and now I’ve got more time to explore this amazing city.
