Work Visa
Work Visa
Work Visas allow foreign nationals to legally work in South Africa. These visas are issued based on employment offers, critical skills, or intra-company transfers. Supporting South Africa’s economic needs, they also offer skilled professionals a pathway to residency.
What types of Work Visas are available in South Africa?
South Africa offers several types of Work Visas, including the General Work Visa, Critical Skills Visa, and Intra-Company Transfer Visa. Each has specific requirements based on employment type, qualifications, and industry demand
Do I need a job offer before applying for a Work Visa
Yes. For most Work Visas, including the General Work Visa, a valid job offer from a South African employer is required. The Critical Skills Visa may allow application without a job offer if your occupation is listed on the official Critical Skills List
What is SAQA and why is it needed?
SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority) evaluates foreign qualifications to ensure they meet local standards. Most Work Visa applications require a SAQA certificate to validate your academic credentials.
Can I apply for permanent residency with a Work Visa?
Yes. After holding a Work Visa for five consecutive years, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency, provided you meet all legal and employment criteria.
