This Act regulates foreigners' right to admission to, residence in and departure from South Africa.

Permits are issued for specific purposes and time-periods and may be subjected to additional conditions. The permits can be extended to include a spouse, dependent child or domestic employee of the applicant.

Temporary residence permits may be withdrawn at the discretion of the Minister of Home Affairs. Permanent residence requests are considered and granted at the entire discretion of an "Immigrants Selection Board", whose members are chosen and appointed by the Minister of Home Affairs.

Emigration also presupposes obtaining a permit. Such a permit shall be granted for permanent migration and may be granted for temporaray stays abroad.
