Question re: Emigrating to SA

[Hughmondo]

Hugh,

My strong advise is that your parents immediately apply for
confirmation of their SA Citizenship along with SA passports and entry permission for you, as their dependant, to accompany them to South Africa.
Following that, it is may be necessary for all of you to enter South Africa before your 18th birthday. This should satisfy the letter of the law and give you all a short breathing space to return to the UK and sort out your affairs here before returning. (This must all be checked out with the SA consulate or a SA immigration lawyer)

It is critical to put all this in place
BEFORE your 18th birthday, so if living in SA is more than an idea, you guys need to move fast with the citizenship and residence applications.

Wow, that really doesn't leave much time (I'm 18 in Jan) The real issue here is that I have to do my A-levels in a years time, could they we do all of that and then return to the UK for 6 monthes or so? I think my folks are gonna have to go to SA house in London asap....

Thanks by the way!
