There are multiple ways for South Africans to gain secondary citizenship.
A growing number of South Africans are looking at ways to get a second residency or citizenship – either as a ‘plan B’, or to take advantage of a range of lifestyle, business, investment and tax benefits. But if you don’t have the money for a Golden Visa, and don’t want to start a business, there are still alternative options to consider.
These countries include Türkiye, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Austria, Malta and others in the Caribbean – all of which require investments of between R1.8 million and R15 million. The good news is that you don’t need to be wealthy to live and work abroad, said Dani van Vuuren, a business consultant at Sovereign Trust. There are other options available, and the continually changing residency and citizenship landscape means there’s something for everyone.If you have parents, grandparents born in a different country, you may already be eligible for a second citizenship by descent.
“While the UK is a popular destination for South Africans using an ancestral visa, many countries around the world offer this route to citizenship. It’s worth discussing your options with an adviser,” said Van Vuuren.If you live and work in a country for a certain period, you can often qualify to apply for permanent residency, and, ultimately, citizenship of that country.
