My parents are in their 80s, & i live & teach here. What are the possibilities of moving them here from south africa ,on a permanent basis to live with me? I would be supporting them.

No problem Cindy, they can stay here permanently on a retirement extension of stay, to be extended once a year. They should apply for an Ordinary visa on arrival, not a tourist visa. Then extend within two weeks for a retirement EOS.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so very much. They will have no income, so.do I just prove that I can support them with my income?
Thanks for such a quick response. Would they get the EOS visa once they're here?

Kindest regards,
Cindy

They don't need proof of income, just passport and about $290 for a year extension each.

People over 55 get a retirement EOS without any documents needed.

They apply for an Ordinary visa at the airport, valid 30 days, then 2 weeks later they apply for the extension through an agent. PM me if you need a good agent.

Cheers.
