What is the minimum investment required for a South African Business Visa?
To qualify for a Business Visa, applicants must invest a minimum of R5 million into the proposed business. This capital must be verifiable and allocated toward business operations, infrastructure, or development. In certain cases, a waiver may be requested if the business is deemed to contribute significantly to South Africa’s economy or job creation.
Do I need to employ South African citizens in my business?
Yes. The Department of Home Affairs requires that at least 60% of your workforce be South African citizens or permanent residents. This condition supports local employment and is a key factor in visa approval. We assist in structuring your business plan to meet this requirement.
Can I apply for permanent residency through a Business Visa?
Yes. After holding a Business Visa and operating your business successfully for a period of time, you may become eligible to apply for permanent residency. This is typically based on sustained investment, compliance with employment requirements, and contribution to the South African economy.
What documents are needed to apply for a Business Visa?
