South Africa retirement visa.

At least ZAR 37,000 a month for life from a pension, annuity or retirement account, or from assets (net worth) that bring in the same amount each month. The Minister can change this figure by notice in the Government Gazette.

The law and the official page set no minimum age.

The official page asks for: form BI-1738, police clearance from each country you lived in for 12 months or more since age 18, proof of medical cover, medical and radiology reports, passport valid for 30 days after your stay, with a free page and yellow fever certificate if you travel through the yellow fever belt.

You must show proof of medical cover, plus medical and radiology reports.

You may work only if Home Affairs gives you permission, on the terms it sets.

The visa lets you live in South Africa for part of each year (seasonal) or all year round. No minimum stay is published.

The visa is issued for up to 4 years. Yes, one or more times, if you still meet the rules.

The official page does not give the fee. It is paid in cash or by bank transfer.
