Right of abode is usually granted to African Americans. The process is supposed to take 6 months. Till then I presume you just apply for聽 a resident's permit. Unfortunately the immigration service website is down so I can't find the documents you require or the fee.
I have an Indefinite visa and that is a one off payment and I assume it is the same for right of abode.

I have found further information. If you are from the African diaspora you have to live in the country for 10 years on a resident's permit and then complete the necessary forms and have, among other things, two sponsors and prove assets and that you have contributed to the country. The process for granting Right of Abode takes 6 months
