移居指南
从南非移居英国
South Africans moving to the UK need a visa even to visit, and applicants from South Africa need a TB test. Many qualify for the Skilled Worker visa; some also have a UK Ancestry route through a grandparent born in the UK. Exchange control and SARS rules shape how you move money and when you stop being South African tax resident.

简要回答
South African citizens move to the UK mainly on the Skilled Worker visa (sponsored job offer) or the Global Talent visa; those with a UK-born grandparent may qualify for UK Ancestry. South Africans need a visa for visits and a TB test certificate when applying from South Africa. Skilled Worker fees are £819 or £1,618 plus the £1,035 yearly surcharge.

Applicants resident in South Africa need a TB certificate from a Home Office approved clinic.
UK Ancestry
Commonwealth citizens with a grandparent born in the UK can apply for a five-year Ancestry visa to work in the UK without a sponsor. We check your family documents.
