Thats right - was never registered as SA citizen - left SA when I was 16 so did not claim SA citizenship. However, when I recently went to SA on holiday I was automatically given 3 months temp residency permit due to the fact that I was born in SA.

Please help!!! Was born and bred in South Africa and lived there until 1996 when my English parents decided to move back to England. I now want to return to SA for a year or so to work and need to know if I need a visa / work permit etc. I still have my SA ID book. Any info greatly appreciated as ca...
