Quick answer
Can I sponsor my parent or child for a relative's visa from Kempton Park?
Yes. If you are a South African citizen or permanent resident living in Kempton Park, you can sponsor an immediate family member – such as a parent, child, sibling, grandparent or grandchild – for a relative's visa under Section 18 of the Immigration Act. You will sign a financial undertaking to support them and prove the relationship with official certificates. Applications are submitted at a Gauteng VFS Global centre, and we prepare everything beforehand.

03Avoid refusals
Local family visa problems we solve
Relatives arriving as visitors first
A relative who comes on a visitor's visa usually cannot switch inside South Africa – plan the right route before travel.
Certificates that do not show the link
Abridged certificates and unofficial copies are a common cause of refusal.
Sponsor income unclear
Self-employed sponsors need clear financial records to back the undertaking.
Renewal left too late
Expired relative's visas lead to overstays – we diarise yours.
04Fees
What does a relative's visa cost?
No fixed packages – fees reflect the real complexity of your matter, and you always know the cost before you commit.
There is no fixed price list on this site on purpose. The work behind a relative's visa depends on your category, your family, your paperwork and your history in South Africa, so a one-size price would either overcharge simple cases or under-prepare complex ones.
Your consultation is a paid, in-depth session with an experienced consultant – not a sales call. The consultation fee is confirmed when you book, before anything is charged, and you leave with real answers whether or not you go ahead with us. If you want us to handle the application, that work is quoted in writing before it starts. Government (Department of Home Affairs) and VFS Global fees are separate, set by them and paid directly.
Not sure you need a consultation? WhatsApp a short question to 072 561 3097 and we will tell you honestly whether you do. If a simple renewal is all you need, we will say so.
What your consultation gives you
- A full review of your documents and immigration history
- The exact visa or permit route we recommend, and why
- A personalised document checklist you keep
- Honest risks and realistic timelines – stated up front
- A written quote for any application work, with no obligation
What shapes the fee for your case?
Visa category
A visitor's visa extension is far simpler than a business visa or permanent residence.
Number of applicants
Spouses, children and dependants each need their own documents and forms.
Document readiness
Whether certificates, clearances, translations and apostilles are already in hand.
Case history
Previous refusals, overstays, undesirable status or a change of status add work.
Urgency
Tight deadlines – such as a 10-working-day appeal window – need priority handling.
Independent consultancy. Immigration Galore SA CC is a private immigration consultancy. We are not the Department of Home Affairs or VFS Global. Decisions are made by Home Affairs, and no consultant can lawfully guarantee an outcome – what we guarantee is a complete, correct and well-motivated application.
05How it works
From first question to final outcome in 5 steps
One consultant guides your case from the first conversation to the decision letter.
Book your consultation
Call, WhatsApp or send the form to book. In your consultation we review your full situation and documents, and tell you honestly which visa or permit route fits – and whether you qualify.
Written route & document list
You get a personalised checklist for your exact category, with notes on certificates, translations, clearances and the order to collect them in.
Fee agreed before work starts
Because no two cases are the same, we quote your professional fee in writing once we understand the complexity. Government and VFS fees are shown separately.
Pack prepared & checked
We draft motivation letters and forms, check every page against the Immigration Regulations and book your VFS Global appointment.
Submit, track & follow up
We track the application with VFS and Home Affairs, answer requests for more information and explain the outcome – including next steps if you need to appeal.

09FAQs
Relative's Visa Kempton Park FAQs
Straight answers to the questions our clients ask most.
Where do Kempton Park residents submit a relative's visa application?
Applications are completed online and submitted with biometrics at a VFS Global visa centre in Gauteng. We prepare the pack and book the appointment.
Can I meet a consultant in person in Kempton Park?
Yes. We consult in Glen Marais by appointment, seven days a week, and also by phone and WhatsApp.
Which relatives can I sponsor?
Immediate family within the second step of kinship – parents, children, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren. Spouses use a spousal visa instead.
Can my relative work in South Africa?
Not on a relative's visa. A separate work visa is needed for employment.
My parent is here on a visitor's visa – can they switch?
Switching from a visitor's visa inside South Africa is generally restricted unless exceptional circumstances apply. We assess whether an exceptional-circumstances application is possible.
Can my parent eventually get permanent residence?
Parents and children of citizens or permanent residents may qualify for permanent residence under Section 27(g). We plan this from the start.
Do you also help with relatives who live elsewhere in South Africa?
Yes. Our national relative's visa page covers clients across South Africa, and most work can be done remotely.
What does it cost?
Our fee is quoted per case after your consultation. Government and VFS fees are separate.
