3. How much does it cost to invest and immigrate to South Africa? How long does it take to open an account? ,,,,,

According to the provisions of the immigration law: 2.5 million rand.

The application period is 18-24 months.

The steps are as follows: first, apply for a self-employed work visa, during which funds need to be reviewed. The application period is less than 30 days, and the time for this visa is about 2-5 years. After obtaining the self-employed visa (business license), you can immediately apply for permanent residence (P.R.) for a period of 18-24 months. You can apply for an ID book immediately after you get it. However, for non-citizen ID), you can apply for a South African passport after five or five years, and it takes about four to 12 months from application to getting a passport. After an interview, you can apply for a citizen's ID card only after you get your passport.

The above is the theoretical time, that is, the time stipulated in the immigration law. This also depends on which city you are in, who is responsible for handling it, and the policies at that time.
