Citizenship Services
Since our inception we have taken a holistic approach to South African citizenship law, from its development in 1949 through its major transformations in 1995 and 2013 and all case law precedents. We advise on all aspects of the South African Citizenship Act, including citizenship by birth, descent, naturalisation, and renunciation, as well as exemptions form the loss and resumption of citizenship by former South Africans. Our citizenship practice brings over three decades of focused expertise to both foreign nationals and South African permanent residents, citizens, and former citizens.
