Hi!  I'm a South African woman with a British husband.  We are thinking of moving to Durban with our 3 British children.  I haven't lived in South Africa since 1998. 
How do I get my husband and kids into South Africa so that my husband can get a job. He doesn't have specific skills.
Any info. would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi.

I would advise you to read some of the old discussions, we have talked a lot about that already. Also contact the S.A. consulate/embassy in your country and see what options you have, Your children can get S.A. id’s easily if you are still S.A. citizen. Your husband must apply for a spousal visa with a work endorsement.

Good luck to you, and the best advise you are going to get: Apply for his visa in your country, it takes a very long time to do anything at home affairs.

Regards Sarah
