bulldog563, You would need to have been granted residency by the Dept of Home Affairs. It's a very expensive and/or very time consuming process........... If you're coming on a work, study or business visa then you can expect to spend at least 2 years getting residency and probably considerably longer. The only way to get it quickly is to be prepared to invest around US$150K per person.

Double D, Have a good journey and I'll look forward to hearing from you sometime in the New Year. If there's anything I can do to help just let me know.....
