Hi Susan-

Am I right to assume you're a South African citizen or permanent resident holder? If so, then you're hubby can apply for permanent residence based on your marriage. This should give him the right ot live and work for five years; although, a lot of changes have been happing in home affairs as of late - so it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least schedule a consult with a relocation professional. These are usually free, and they can at least point you in the right direction. 

The documents you'll need are as follows:

*Passport
*2 x Passport Photographs
*Medical Report (no older than 6 months) - specific forms to be filled out that you can get from Home Affairs
*Radiological Report (no older than 6 months) - specific forms to be filled out that you can get from Home Affairs
*Marriage Certificate
*Letter of Support from Spouse
*Id Doc of Spouse

There is also a fee, I think it's around 1500 ZAR. Again, it's best to go into Home Affairs and confirm all these facts, or to hire a relocation agent if you don't feel like you're prepared with all queueing.
