Hi there, I have got an offer to work in Durban for one year. I want to know following things:
1. What is the visa situation for me, spouse and kids. How much time it will take. I am an Indian National

2. I am in dilemma whether I shud bring my wife and kid alongwith me or call them after a month or so when I am settled.

3. Also I am looking for a good accommodation (2BHK Flat). Can someone suggest good locations having Indian community in the vicinity and is secure. Also whats the rent of a fully furnished flat.

Thanks in Advance
Siddharth

Hello Siddharth.

Welcome to Expat.com!

In meantime, I invite you to read these articles about Visas in South Africa.

For the accommodation, you can also try to post an advert in the housing in Durban section. It could help.

Good luck,
Aurélie
