Work Visa Specialists In Johannesburg

Work visas are only provided to foreigners when South African citizens with the necessary abilities are unavailable. These visas are provided for a certain period, depending on the type of work visa filed for. Our work visa specialists in Johannesburg can help you apply for the relevant work visa.

General Work Visa Section 19(2)

This visa is issued for up to five (5) years to a foreigner not falling within a category or specific occupational class as per the Critical Skills List. In addition, your employer must prove that despite a diligent search, they’ve been unable to employ a local person in South Africa with the qualifications, skills, and experience equivalent to those of the foreign applicant.

The Department of Labour verifies this process. Our work visa specialists in Johannesburg can apply for a General Work Visa without the Labour Benchmarking Certificate by applying for a waiver first.

Critical Skills Visa Section 19(4)

Critical skills are a range of skills, qualifications, and occupations the Minister of Home Affairs has identified in response to the South African skills shortage. To qualify for this type of work visa, you need to have qualifications and experience in a specific field listed on the critical skills list. The advantage of this visa is that you don’t have to wait for the usual five years to apply for permanent residence. As a result, you will qualify immediately when the visa has been received. However, there are some conditions our work visa specialists in Johannesburg can talk you through.

Intra-Company Transfer Work Visa Section 19(5)

South African Intra-Company Transfer Work Visas may be issued to foreigners in the process of being transferred by their foreign company from one branch to another branch in South Africa. Again, our work visa specialists in Johannesburg will assist you with your application.

Visitor’s Visa with Work Endorsement Section 11(2)

This category is for short-term work at a company within South Africa. While it is usually issued for three months, our work visa specialists in Johannesburg can help you apply for an extension for a further three months.

Visitor’s Visa with Business Activities 11(1)

This category caters for business meetings and related activities to be performed by the applicant. This is not a work visa category, and you should consult with our work visa specialists in Johannesburg to verify if this is the visa you need to apply for.
